Beijing Tianrun Restaurant 天?酒?

[cfhk]

We (a group of 5 couples) went to 天?酒? for dinner tonight. I have to tell you that this restaurant is the worst Chinese restaurant I have tried. It is not worth the money for the food offered.

I tell you what we ordered:

Appetizer:
1. Cold plate - stewed beef 剪?牛肉
2. Cold plate - Sweet & spicy cucumber
3. Cold plate - ?拌海蜇

剪?牛肉 is so dry. It tastes like the beef has been stored in the fridge for more than a week.

Main Course:
1. BBQ duck 烤?
2. Spicy chicken (diced)
3. 剪?酤 (I forgot the name of the fish)
4. Stir-fry Shanghainese vegetable (only two types of vegetable you can choose - brocoli or Shanghainese veggie; This will never happen in Chinese restaurants downtown. How can they do business?)
5. 酸辣茄子
6. 麻婆豆腐
7. Noodles in a soup (very oily)

Dessert:
芝麻??

Our comments:
------------
All of the dishes are cooked with excessive oil. Even the stir-fry veggie is so greasy that I even pick one up to eat.
The fish is a frozen one and it smelt so bad and not fresh.
酸辣茄子tastes is so weird that half plate is still there.
麻婆豆腐 is the worst I have tried. The tofu is not fresh at all.
The only one I can eat is the spicy chicken. That one is the only dish that is edible.

Oh. One more thing. The BBQ duck charges us $28, but only one eating method. (Normally it should be eaton with two eating methods.)

The rice is of warm temperatue. When the rice is not hot, it doesn't taste good.
The temperature of the food is also warm and not hot. With all the excessive oil covering the food and warm temperature, I lost my appetize already. I went home and have to eat instant noodles.

Worst thing is you pay a lot of money for the food and you don't get good food and services. The bill for us to pay is $155. With tax, we paid $170. (We feel reluctantly to pay tips. But we paid any way.)

My final comments:
-----------------
All the dishes are so oily that I got scared off. I went home after dinner and I have to eat instant noodles since I am still hungry.

Anyway, if I go out to eat Chinese food, I will not go to 天?酒?. Any Chinese restaurants on Summerset (Chinatown) is way better than 天?酒? in terms of price, food quality and services. But I have to admit that the waitress are beautiful than most of the waitress I have seen in most of the Chinese restaurants in China town.

我觉得还不错啊（除了烤鸭肥了点，吃着比较油）。我和同学经常去吃。可能个人口味不同吧。

Have you tried BBQ duck in Toronto? Try the BBQ duck at ?明山擎 and you will know what a BBQ duck is supposed to be:

Since you are a student, I assume that you don't do too much gourmet cooking. 滕王轺 (1137 Ogilvie Road, St. Laurent & Ogilvie) in Ottawa is way better than 天?. Try it out and you will see the difference.

不至于那么糟糕吧

Yes. We went there for dinner tonight. 10 people. This is the worst restaurant we have tried. We will not go again. Once is enough. Although Chinese restaurants are not good in Ottawa, this is even worst. How can they survive with this kind of food?

烤鸭？还好了，出国前在北京住了很久。

原来在多伦多住了一年多点，平时一般喜欢吃川味轩，金石也不错。在这里平时都是自己做饭，还算做得凑合

我觉得天润北方菜做得还不错啊，川菜也凑合，就是不够辣

个人喜好不同吧，我也觉得天润还好

Do you know WHY "All of the dishes are cooked with excessive oil"?
Have you ever worked in a restaurant?

Ok, I tell you -- excessive oil means it is double cooked, means it was prepared for days and could not sell, when you came in and ordered then just put the old one in the oil to redo it......

You are fuked.

cfhk的批怎方法十分正催╋?事?╋有?不絮。

 

[江枫渔火]

“天润”不是粤菜馆，无法用粤菜的味道来要求北方菜和川菜。

滕王阁也吃过，它的粤菜也就那样，在加拿大的餐馆再好，也不能和香港比！

全香港的早茶点心的品种可以有至少几十种左右，加拿大这里的餐馆早茶有几种点心？？？

没法这样比！


“But I have to admit that the waitress are beautiful than most of the waitress I have seen in most of the Chinese restaurants in China town.”

哈哈，看来你不是去吃饭的，是去看美女的？哈哈

看cfhk他们吃的菜，应该是个能吃辣的人，起码不是只停留在吃粤菜的感觉。
说话算很中肯的。

What do you want to compare?

If you compare it with dish in China (e.g. Beijing, ChenDu), you are right. But if you compare it with other Chinese restaurants in Ottawa, I can not agree with you. I went there last night and tried most of dishes you mentioned, and the taste is good or it is not bad at least.
You can not eat real Beijing Duck or Sichuan food in Ottawa. Maybe you could find it in Toronto or Vancouver, or go back China. Most of the Chinese restaurants operate as the same way to cook dish, such as "dishes are cooked with excessive oil". They want make money and reduce cost.....

Tian Ren restaurant, My favorite!!!

It's the only one of which the cuisine is the closest to Sichuan cuisine.

Those restaurants in Chinatown suck too much. They don't know anything about Sichuan food at all. Last time, I ordered Sichuan beef, WTF! It's Cantonese cuisine!
