Reviews Jasmine Garden

After reading bad reviews on Hungry House and JustEat, we nearly cancelled our order. The saving grace was the promised free bottle of wine on orders over £30, so we went for it. We waited an acceptable 45 minutes, the guy was very pleasant, and we got all the food and the free red wine. THE TASTE: Salted squid and prawn was delicious, batter was slightly soggy but yummy - the squid was soft, not at all chewy or rubbery. Crab claws were good with a crispy batter. The shui mei dim sum was soft and tasty. Crsipy noodles with roast duck and pork were 'meh', not crispy and did need soy sauce. The Malaysian nasi goreng rice was way too hot and spicy but at least had flavour. The szechuan chicken with garlic chilli was also just average, as the chicken seemed a bit rubbery and overcooked, but there was lots of vegetables in the dish too, if you like that sort of thing. The Italian red wine was 'fierce' and definitely made up for the mildly disappointing flavours of the food. Overall, for a hungover, lazy Sunday afternoon, it saved the day with plenty left over for a midnight snack.
