Lychee Chinese Restaurant 荔枝

“I’ve visited this restaurant twice. The main dishes were enjoyable, but the appetizers (despite their charming presentation) tasted like frozen food you’d get at a supermarket. On both visits, some bits of the vegetables had an off, moldy flavor. I was also concerned to see baking paper rolled back up after touching the floor. The ventilation in the venue is poor, and the service is inconsistent.”

“Never seen a place where the quality degraded this quickly. Not a good experience. To be honest, during the last two visits, everything was perfect so I decided to come back and planned on inviting more people over but after today, I will have to stop recommending people to this place. Absolute disappointment. The dishes were dirty but when getting the complaint, they immediately gathered at the back to talk bad about the customers instead of fixing the problem. I can hear: “她为什么有那么多事呢” (rough translation: “Why does she have so many issues?”). Indeed, I still pay full price for everything (about €43) and DID not ask for any compensation at all but instead even getting scolded at. With this amount of money, it is easy to get way more decent food with better hygiene out there or even a great selection of all-you-can-eat buffet with better service. They’re now at a steeply decreasing quality with questionable customer service and an overpriced pricing. No wonder other restaurants in the area are filled with people all the time when they can’t fill up half of their seats (in the total of 3 times I visited). With this type of behavior then pretty understandable. (Not to mention the beef was also half-cooked (whilst the first time it was fully cooked, no problem), just to see the inconsistency). Anyway, if you want to pay money and get scolded at behind your back then this is a good place : ) I understand maybe not all the employees at the place are like that but the fact that they gathered to talk about customers like that when they haven’t even left yet gave me a long-lasting impression of unprofessionalism and rudeness. Never again.”

“This was previously Spicy Temptation and with a change in ownership it is now called Lychee. They have an entirely new and exciting menu. Today I just tried a classic Cantonese dish of rice and three meats (roast duck, roast pork and pork belly). Surprisingly the rice was actually fried rice and the whole dish was super delicious. I can't wait to come back and try other dishes! Very friendly owner.... Highly recommended!”
