Datang's in Nanaimo B.C. could possibly
there for banquet for 30 people and not a single person had a bad thing to say about the food. They all loved it and said they would eat there again.

The worst Chinese food I’ve ever eaten! Tasted old, bland and the ginger beef was dried out with no sauce!

Since there was an UberEats discount we ordered for pickup, they kindly packaged my 4 orders together and the food was ready when I got there, staff were friendly and quick! The beef chow fun had good "wok hay" and flavors were authentic, with a generous amount of tender beef. The spicy string beans were more mala than plain spicy, but delicious! We also got combo D for more variety, and it's such a big portion! The sweet sour pork was perfectly cooked with juicy pork and crispy batter... The sauce was a bit too sweet for my liking though. Only complaint is the almond chicken which was heavily battered. The Taiwanese fried chicken was tasty too! Overall, very generous portions for the price and most authentic Chinese food for the Nanaimo area!

This is the second time in half a month that I ordered dry-fried beef river. But this time, the first onion bite of beef river made me spicy. The onions were not fried at all. What made me even more angry was that there were only four slices of beef. Compared to the first time, Much less

I made online order but after driving 7km when I arrive, they told me they canceled my order without notifying me. The person was careless and kept saying they’re busy and don’t have time solving my issue.

Food at table cold

Took the lady almost 30 minutes to take our order. Ordered a dish that didn't resemble the photo at all. Had to argue with the lady and chef that I didn't want it. Lady was rude and ignored us. Absolute garbage experience.

DONT ORDER IN 2024 WITHOUT CHECKING PRICES FIRSTOk so this 1 star rating is about 1 thing only....the 2024 change in prices across the entire menu. I just ate here for Xmas eve and was usual price ive seen or at least in the ball park since ive come here. I love the food. Zero complaint about the food but yesterday i felt like I was stuck in a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode.My dad came to visit and he loved it there before so we used the take home menu i grabbed a couple of mths ago to order. I called and they lady took our order. We even went a little bold and ordered the Full BBQ Duck for $36.98.So we go to pick up our 5 items and the bill came to $144 before tip. 2 appetizers and 3 mains: 1 wonton soup, 1 small portion of dry spare ribs, beef with broccoli, beef brisket hot pot and 1 full BBQ duck was the entire order for $144.....i looked down and the whole BBQ duck that was $36.98 2 mths ago is now $64.95...that is a 75% increase. I grab the take out menu and every item has a pen mark through it and their dine in menu has white out and marker across every item with insane new pricing. i ask her what's up and she said prices went up. The wonton soup went up 30%, the beef with broccoli went up nearly 60%. Beef brisket was a favorite and that went up between 40-50% from the old 2023 menu.I asked if we could get half the duck considering the half duck is now the price of the full duck and she said no because it was already cooked. Half duck before was $18.98 and new price is $32.98. Check my photos for the proof.Zero warning when i placed the order...she did not say the total over the phone and when i asked for a half duck to bring the bill down she also said no. Well No Tip For You!I am all about supporting local small family businesses but using inflation as an excuse to completely rip your customers off with zero warning is predatory at best.I am so disappointed in Da Tang for this unjust price gauge and they have unfortunately lost my business for good.Just such a shame.
