Reviews for 123 Chinese Food in Cobourg, ON
Food has downgraded in quality since the ownership change, however the most surprising thing is that the new owner/manager is... completed void of any customer service and relation skills. PLEASE REMEMBER: You are not doing the customer a favour by servingthem! - They are doing you a favour by giving you the opportunity to do so! Read more
I walked in to pick up my food and as I was waiting I noticed no one had on gloves. They were touching raw meat and vegetables... and never washed their hands or donned gloves. left immediately and after reading reviews about food poisoning I am confident Imade the correct choice. Read more
Extremely miserable lady taking my walk in order, very rude. Said ok go away come back in 15. When I went back in she said are... you picking up take out??? I said I just ordered. She said yes it's ready, you go now. I asked for extra soy sauce, looked likeit was her personal stash from the look. And the food....worse I've ever had. Just brutal that the best Chinese food in Cobourgis now the worse since these new owners took over. Five Star Pt Hope is the beat in this area, worth the 10 min drive Read more
This is a couple of klms east outside of town on the main drag. All their food is great but one dish in particular you have to... check it out. It's called General Chicken, thats all lm going to say but its worth going there just for that dish. It doesn'tcost a lot and you get a lot. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. If you can, get your vaccine or Booster and let's beatthis thing!!???? ???????? Read more
Order plum sauce because they only give you two if you don't request when you order. Fine enough. Pay extra for plum sauce to... recieve duck sauce. Not the same thing It's courtesy to tell people about substitutions especially if your paying for them. Read more
From the get go, ordering food seemed like an inconvenience to the woman who answered the phone. Picking up the order was... anouther test in patience when I asked for one sweet and sour plum sauce packet, and one hot mustard packet. Under duress thewoman (who I assume was the same person who answered the phone) proceeded to the back, but not before DIRECTING me to order thesauces ahead of time as they are "extra money". I wanted to make sure that I was understanding her directions correctly, so Iasked "those little packets of sauce are an additional charge?", she said "yes". I dared not ask how much she would have chargedfor the condiments because she seemed irritated by my presence as she tossed the condiments onto the bar. As far as the foodgoes, the beef and broccoli was lacking beef, but not broccoli! I received less than a quarter of meat, and over three quartersof vegetables, all bathed in a bland, over watered sauce. Apparently the shrimp fried rice had a "cardboard" flavour to it, andit lacked the quantity of shrimp expected for the price, remarked my guests who ate it. I will say that my steamed white ricewas fluffy and white, and the egg roll seemed to had been cooked better than previously experienced. I would be lying if I wasto say that this experience was a "one off", however it was not. I wanted to give 1 2 3 Chinese a second chance because I wasdisappointed the first time I experienced their hospitality, and food quality. I feel I have qualified my position and will bepracticing "Social Distancing" from 1 2 3 Chinese. Read more
Worst Chinese takeout i ever ate at, very rude owner no hello no thank you or you are welcome. The vegetable dishes where... horrible only celery and onions, no other vegetables, chicken balls where very greasy. the house rice had 2 shrimp in it andvery little meat. the chicken almond guy ding came with a bag with 10 dried up almonds in it so cheap i would recommend that youorder a pizza instead of ordering from here. i would rate them at less than a 1/4 star.

Rudest & most ignorant person I have ever ordered food from. She should not be working with the public.
