Saison Xún Wèi - Surrey

This new takeover Asian eatery tucked into a corner of a supermarket has hard surfaces and a difficult menu . Welcomed with a cup of lukewarm water tasting of plastic, the almost non-existent service finally took our order. Sweet Sour Chicken $11.95,BBQ Pork Ribs $8.95 and House Special Seafood Fried Rice $12.95. We also asked for cups of green tea but the quizzical look ofthe waiter indicated this was an unusual request. First up was the chicken which was good in a light sauce with pieces of mango,pineapple, and a variety of peppers for color. Next the fried rice, a dome of pale rice with a masago (fish roe) topping. Thissuffered greatly as the whole shrimps were flavorless and jelly-like. Small bits of octopus only added to the unfortunate dishas they resembled bits of pencil erasers. The fried aspect was not evident, the rice being soggy and the entirety wasunappealing at best. Lastly, the four BBQ Pork Ribs were overwhelmed with five spice powder but were otherwise uninteresting.The green tea never did arrive. The single waitress seemed overwhelmed with a new order, one of two occupied tables and wewaited for quite some time at the cashier to pay and leave.Our consensus was that T T Deli takeout would have been a muchbetter choice, one I would recommend. Total bill $35.55, over $40 with tip. It's hard to find a place more disappointing.

The food is extremely delicious, and the best part is the incredible value. This has become my new favorite place to eat.

Delicious food and drinks! This is a lovely spot in the central mall. The side dish cost only $1.99, which is a great deal for my favorite deep-fried chicken tenders!

The food was disappointing and below average. I would recommend the TnT food court instead. I ordered the BBQ beef, which had a decent flavor but was way too salty. The noodles I got were just a scoop of soy sauce on plain noodles. It’s no surprise that the restaurant was empty.

Slow service. Excellent food.
