TAKE AWAY FOOD WAS COLD! I don’t appreciate the manager for accusing me for being 25 minutes late for picking up my cold food! Extremely unprofessional!

I did everything I was supposed to do- Ordered it online Received a text Got in my car (5 minute drive) Entered restaurant & told to sit down for 5 minutes because it ‘wasn’t ready’ Took it home & discovered it was cold, especially the gyoza.

I rang & complained. I was told by booking agent that a new hot gyoza was going to be delivered to me. Then 1 minute later, I received a call from the restaurant manager accusing me that I was 25 minutes, that’s why the food was cold. AND refused to deliver me a new one, even though I was told that by the booking agent 1 minute prior that it would!

She told me the text I initially received stated that I’d have to be there in 15 minutes. WRONG!! No information on text. I have a screen shot to prove it.

They had no set up where they could keep food warm. NOT MY PROBLEM

But what I’m wondering is why they told me to sit down for 5 minutes because it wasn’t ready? Obviously it was and it was sitting there getting colder!

I mean how dare she accuse me of being 25 minutes late! What sort of professionalism is that?!

So Harpoon - get your act together! Buy a facility to keep your food warm Make it crystal clear on your text the the person must be there in 15 minutes! And DON’T accuse me for being late when you forced me to sit down & ...

I have been to Harpoon many times and I've never had a bad meal or bad service. Most recently, I went with my boyfriend who is from out of town. We arrived 10 minutes early to our booking but were able to be seated, even though the place was packed (thought maybe we would have to wait the 10 minutes).

While the service was only a little slow, it's understandable when there were multiple large groups and both outside and inside were fully booked. Staff were super helpful and friendly as always. I was quite indecisive on ordering a soft drink and didn't know what I wanted so they did it as a "surprise drink" which was great because they chose something that most people would like - Ramune, which also has the "fun" aspect of the marble with it. My boyfriend and I had the fries (vegan style), the Chinese broccoli, Tantanmen Ramen and the Tofu Ramen. Portions are very generous, all the food was very hot and super, super delicious. They also have a great vegan menu and have a great selection of meals to...
