Chinese Cottage - Gwynedd

If you are stuck, desperate and have no other choice, then consider this location. Order something without sauce non fried as they can’t do either of these based on previous reviews and my experience. Keep the bill low to just fill yourself and save money. My chow mein was okay, I did request dry, so hard to mess up. We had a mixed starters where they put bbq ribs in the chicken satay box mixing the two. The fried salt and pepper prawns was put into a sealed box causing some horrible goop/jelly. First Chinese meal where I have been this disappointed.

Food was not nice, gravy on a chicken chowmien Sauces moved like jelly and tasted even worse wouldn’t recommend

Had special fried rice (had a sauce in it) and a char sui curry. Really tasty. Pawn crackers, beautiful.

Disappointed. I had the chicken chow mein. The noodles in the base of the tray were OK but a bit bland. These were topped with a glutinous layer of pale tasteless something with chunks of what looked like steamed chicken in it. I ordered some separates sauces, these also had no flavour and had the same slimy texture. Boiled cornflour and water I reckon, with minimal added ingredients. The sweet n sour sauce was most peculiar as you can see in the photo. Got the impression that all this stuff was prepared separately, then assembled. I'm used to there being a wok and seasonings involved. Sadly, I'll give this place a miss from now on.
