This review is based on two orders from this restaurant. I have enjoyed Asian/Chinese restaurants of varying quality from Toronto to here and have never written a bad review yet. We spent $250 on takeout on the most recent order with a 15% TIP ON TAKEOUT.
I'm new to Blenheim, I've heard co-workers rave about Stephen's and I love Chinese food, so I couldn't wait to try it.
The first time I ordered, I was sending an employee to pick up food for us, on their way in for their shift.
I ordered two hours in advance for a specific pickup time. They arrived on time and were told there would be a delay.
My staff member ended up arriving 45 minutes late for work (we work 2 mins away).
The food was ok and I assumed the wait contributed to the lack of quality and figured I'd try again.
Well, I ordered again tonight (for our family of 6!!! NOT CHEAP!!!) and the egg rolls and spring rolls were so overdone and greasy, they were burned dark brown.
I specifically asked for extra plum sauce for the egg rolls and spring rolls we ordered (for the kids!) and received none. Zero. Not a single drop.
My partner also had to wait another 20 minutes past the "pickup time" for it to be ready.
We'll be taking the drive into Chatham next time we want Chinese. So disgusted.
ETA:We ended up throwing out the remaining egg rolls and spring rolls because they were nauseatingly greasy. No one wanted another.

We order a dinner with a variety of items, love it, helpings are perfect, the new reusable containers are perfect. Parking is limited to availability although more parking is available around the town of Blenheim.

Definitely don’t waste your time ordering from this business the manager took the order incorrectly and once I called to try to make it correct no solution was given definitely zero stars recommend! Not even an apology. She was adamant that she did nothing wrong.

Had take out for New Years eve and this was the first time to visit this restaurant. The food was so tasty. They make their egg rolls themselves. None of that processed frozen stuff. My only disappointment is the size of the portions. 6 inch bowl for each entree. That is so small compared to other Chinese restaurants. Will have to double my order next time which will be expensive. I will certainly be back but less often because of portion size and expense to double order. Recommend this restaurant. Try it if you haven't already.
