The male owner was very rude. They had a self-service ordering machine at the counter, and no staff were around, so I placed my order there. he was unreasonably aggressive to me after he knew I ordered from there. I understand that running a business can be very stressful and busy, but taking it out on customers is not acceptable. I won’t be coming back.
I dont get it, I came here today and I was really nice. Im not Chinese so maybe the waiter is a little bit confused so he asked another man came for help. And that men (he is older) was kinda rude with me and seem like he is uncomfortable with me ( I didnt do anything wrong, I just came and I was really nice because this is my first time trying Chinese food). And then, when I asked for payment, that men asked me for $19???? And I was pissed off 😡. So here is the receipt when he saw me calculate the price of my orders, total is just $16.8 + 1.38 and fee 0.55 = 18.73. This is my first and last time coming here. Bye
First of all, I want to mention that I was born and raised in Houston, with Latino roots. I've been looking to try something new, so I've been hopping from one restaurant to another in search of a hidden gem. I found this restaurant on Maps and decided to give it a try, despite not knowing anything about the cuisine or the language. But that didn’t stop me from wanting to enjoy lunch. As soon as I arrived, I knew I had found the right place because it had an old-fashioned look, which usually signals great food. When it came time to order, I was making guesses based on the pictures, as most of the menu was in Chinese. I decided to order something called braised octopus because it looked good in the image. However, the server asked me several times if I was sure about my choice. They tried to explain why it might not be a good idea, but their accent made it hard to understand. Ultimately, I decided to go with something else because I felt like only people who are familiar with the cuisine truly know how to appreciate it. This is not a bad review—the food was actually delicious, and the flavors were on point. I might go back, but I chose to eat in my car because I didn't want to feel out of place, especially since it’s an Asian-centered establishment and I only speak Spanish and English. If any friends want to join me on another visit and can help me better understand the culture, I would love that!
