Ben's Vietnamese and Chinese Restaurant

Attended a colleague and good friend's farewell dinner and karaoke on Saturday night. My family and I used to go to Ben's fairly often but a few years ago found the quality of the food had deteriorated a fair bit.

We had the Chinese banquet which was spring rolls, prawn toast and prawn crackers, lemon chicken, sizzling mongolian lamb, sizzling seafood and sweet and sour pork ribs finished with deep fried ice cream. This was all served with fried rice.

Honestly, it was all pretty awful. I know the restaurant mainly caters to non Asians but it was still bad even by those standards. The lemon chicken was by far the worst IMO. Thick batter wrapped around dry chicken drizzled with a fluro yellow "lemon" sauce ick.

Our group stuck around for the karaoke but even that was disappointing because they kept playing the wrong songs.

Safe to say I won't be back!
