Deer Garden Signatures North York

I had the fish soup with flat rice noodles and slices of beef. The noodles seemed a bit overcooked, and the soup was overly fishy. The beef also had a slightly metallic taste. I wasn't really a fan of the flavors, but maybe I just made the wrong choices…

I've had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. Both times I've visited, flies were buzzing around my food! My favorite tomato pumpkin soup was missing the pumpkin ingredient on both occasions. When I mentioned this while eating, the staff said I should have checked the bowl and informed them right away. I admitted it was my oversight. They did provide a separate serving of pumpkin afterward, but then I discovered some moldy-looking bean curd. That was the last straw for me. I think I'll go to a different location from now on.

The restaurant was surprisingly quiet during lunch, with only a handful of tables occupied at peak hour. I've noticed that the quality has declined since it opened; the broth has fewer ingredients and the portions are smaller than before. The fried fish we ordered was disappointing as it resembled a solid piece rather than a flaky filet. While the service was good, the decline in food quality makes me hesitant about returning.

Service was fine during the Sunday lunch rush. Staff accommodated our group of four with a baby. Less brisket compared to the RH location but overall it's still good.

I ate the rice noodles in the restaurant, I tasted vegetable very bitter, so I just told waitress, she did not help to deal with the problem and she did not say sorry even!!
