The Bird’s Nest soup with Quail’s Egg was the first one to be served, the waiter was the one who portioned it out to our bowls and I enjoyed the taste and richness of the soup. It was the proper consistence of Bird’s Nest I was used to and it tasted great. The Yangchow was the next on to be served and since we ordered the large bowl, we did get a really large bowl; at first glance we already knew that we wouldn’t be able to finish it. Next served were the main courses, and as in all Chinese restaurants, all the food were served at the same time. The first one I tried was the Lemon Chicken, the chicken was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and still juicy on the inside, the sauce was thick and has the proper balance of acidity due to the lemon and sweetness. The sweet and sour fish was the same in terms of crispiness with the chicken, maybe because of similar batters were used. But the proper of balance of sweetness and acidity was there, although I would prefer if they had more vegetables with the fish because they only used the vegetables as a garnish. The Pork Sze Chuan Style was my biggest disappointment, we asked the waiter if it was spicy knowing it to be “sze chuan style” he said yes and it was coloured red, but when we ordered it, it had a dull color, and a very bland taste, almost as if no salt touched the pork. The Ma po Tofu wasn’t any good either, it was drenched in its sauce; it looked more like a soup than what is should be. It also tasted very bland and the sauce wasn’t even that consistent. The fried frog legs we ordered was worth it since the serving was big and although it tasted like chicken it still has that texture that it isn’t and the spiciness compliments with its taste. We ordered additional hakaw and xiao long bao which arrived longer than we expected, and the xiao long bao was not that good since its wrapper was sticking to one another so when you get one, you’ll rip the wrapper and the soup will flow out. Our last one was the Mango Sago which we had for dessert, it tasted sweet with a little bit of a sour note maybe due to the mangoes used, but the sago was a mix of cooked ones and semi-frozen ones which gave hard texture one you bite it.
In general, Uno Seafood Wharf delivered the Chinese Ambiance and Dining style that you’d expect at an authentic Chinese Restaurant, but the taste of their food isn’t that hard to find for you to come back to their restaurant. Maybe if I happen to pass by that street I might enter its doors once more, but due to the inconsistency of their food, I don’t think I’d be going back for quite a while.
