Popu Wa Asian Restaurant — Restaurant in Grande Prairie

The place is tiny and not very clean. There were only 2 other people eating when we walked in but most all the tables were dirty and not cleaned up after previous customers and they were still not cleaned up after we finished and left. It is not restaurant style, so you have to order and pay up front and then they bring the food to you. One plus is the food was made really fast and it was decent. Not a big portion though. The price isn't the best for the amount you get and quality. One thing I noticed that irked me was that the only two ladies that were working there and made our sushi, right after one of them brought our food, they both sat down at one of the tables and starting eating their lunch as if they were customers. I wanted to up and order more sushi and ask for sides but they were busy eating themselves and I didn't want to interrupt. Thought it wasn't the best customer service. I probably would not...

My kids wanted sushi, noodles,steamed bun and chicken wings for lunch. My daughters bf wanted Ramen noodles which the pic looked delish with beef. They said no beef ran out, so he got a bowl less then half full of noodles in brown water with one piece of pork in it and no flavor. Youngest wanted steamed bun and they also said ran out of that. The chicken wings came in one big battered clump and I said this is not what I was expecting, his reply was my friend in the back doesn't really work here and doesn't usually cook. The sushi were as around as a nickle. Definitely can't communicate with them as they sticking translating app in my face. Never going back . Waste of almost 100$.. I asked for plum sauce for my spring roll and they didn't know what I was talking about. Had to go up and ask for cutlery, all wooden. Almost 2hrs until we got our order that the they brought put 1at a time. I DO NOT recommend this...

I have to eat gluten free. That's difficult when the serving staff don't speak fluent English and can't understand me. I asked them if the sauce in the Saskatoon roll contained any wheat they they looked at me silent and confused, so I repeated and repeated and explained my sensitivity. Eventually, they just said "yes" meaning contains wheat I assumed so I said "Okay, I'll just order _ and __ then" forgoing the Saskatoon roll. That wasn't understood either, I guess, because the Saskatoon roll came and I was so hungry, I just ate it. Now I'm going to ache in my joints. I was surprised that then a 3rd dish got presented to me. Instead of taking off the Saskatoon roll like I asked for, they gave me all 3 mentioned dishes. I wasn't charged thankfully, but I think there is a serious language barrier here. Friendly staff, but that's irrelevant if you can't...
