I ordered the lemon chicken, which cost over 18 dollars, and unfortunately, it was extremely bland with no salt or seasoning. The lemon sauce was sticky and lacked flavor as well. I was very hungry at the time, so anything decent would have satisfied me, but I couldn't even finish a few bites. Surprisingly, the steamed rice tasted better than the chicken dish itself. This experience has turned me off from Cantonese food for a while, as the disappointing taste will linger in my memory.
