Gourmet San (261 Bethnal Green Road, London, E2 6AH) WARNING!!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS: Worst than mall food… I ordered from Gourmet San for the first time today because a friend recommended it. I cannot express how disappointed I am. I am actually writing this review instead of eating!!! The things I ordered because I thought would be safe: hot and sour soup, Singapore vermicelli, King prawn curry, Sweet & Sour pork and Egg fried rice. They told us it would be an hour wait. We did not mind as we knew this meant that the food would be fresh. The driver arrived less then 30 mins later; which means, the food was probably sitting there for who knows how long! Review of FOOD: Hot and sour soup:
Smells like manure… could not even have a full spoon of it. Tasted old and like burnt pepper. Absolutely disgusting! Singapore vermicelli:
The color is orange rather than yellow and it does not have the distinctive flavor that is should have. All you can taste is the red chill peppers and the red chili pepper!!! That is it – it is so hot/spicy that you cannot eat it! King prawn curry:
Does not taste like curry. Just a goopy sauce – More than half the box is onion and green pepper… mostly onion. Sweet & Sour Pork:
Have had better in shopping centers. Again, more onion and green pepper than pork. Egg fried rice:
Was the only thing I could eat, but it is quite oily. What annoys me even more is the lady charged us more than what our menu stated. Complete joke! The Chinese food at Waitrose and M&S are infinitely better and that does not say MUCH! Save your money and AVOID this PLACE!!!
