The food is fine but their business practices are dishonest, or at the very least, questionable.

They automatically add 18% tip (on the total after tax) and don't tell you until you examine your bill as ask about it. If you don't check your bill, they will collect tip twice from you.

This happened to me TWICE so I know it's not an honest mistake.

I twice dined in by myself and ordered a plate and a drink. The first time i caught it, i let it go and just gave them benefit of the doubt but didn't add any extra tip, being glad enough that I caught it and shrugged it off as an honest mistake.

I liked the food and decided to give another chance. I ordered, calculated beforehand, and I expected my total to be just under $21 after tax. The lady at the counter asked me for $25 and some change. I asked "how can that be?" She told me it's because I ordered an iced tea. I said an iced tea is 3.95 and my dish is 14.95. She finally admitted they add in tip and only then showed me the itemized receipt (she did not volunteer that). I told her tip is the customer's choice (especially when it's not a big party -- both times I was by myself! I totally understand for large parties, but this was not my situation) and she said nothing. I just signed it not adding anything additional and crossed out any tipping options so there's no possibility of doctoring the receipt.

The sad part is that I regularly tip 20-25%, especially for small businesses owned by PoCs. Not today. This sort of practice really bothers me.

The food is decent here and otherwise the value is good. I suggest to never dine in, and if you want their food to only get take out.

Or if you're really put off by this like I am, probably never eat here again.
