RIVERSIDE CHINESE RESTAURANT

Riverside Chinese Restaurant is where your hunger goes to die a boring death. The food might be served hot and quickly, but the taste is as flat as a soda left out overnight. Darren and his crew rave about the friendly staff, but it seems like the kitchen is on a mission to turn fresh ingredients into blandness. 🥴 Those crispy lamb and prawn toast starters? They had potential, but the mains like the egg fried rice and honey garlic chicken fall flatter than a deflated balloon. It's clean, so if you’re just looking for a place to fill your belly after exploring Cheddar Gorge, this might do the trick, but don't expect fireworks.

Unfortunately, the experience isn't consistent. While some diners walk away happy, others leave with stomach regrets and food poisoning stories that could be featured in a horror movie. So while you might get out of here without a hygiene scare, the taste might just leave you cursing your choice of dining. If you’re feeling brave, roll the dice here—but maybe stick to the takeout for safety. 🍜
