Rikshaw House — Restaurant in Detroit

I'm vegan. And I was trying to get something to eat. So I ordered the broccoli with vegetables. The cashier told me 15 minutes. I leave to go the store next door and come back in 15 minutes. The food is still not ready.

VIP dish: General's Chicken - it's more savory and has tons of onions. Honorable mention: Beef & Broccoli or Special Lo Mein (all meats) If you get Shrimp fried rice, get it with extra green onions and a...

I'm sorry for having to leave this review but i have been coming to this place for years because i like the flavor of the food .However, i have attempted to look over the eldest lady who answers the phone yelling and talking aggressive because i empathized assuming she didnt know enough English. But today the younger lady came to the front to put someone's carryout order on the counter and i spoke to her and she smiled and i said have a good day and before i walked away i asked her what was her name and she said"who my name?" I said ofcourse ,i see you regularly so i would like to address you by name and she looked at me and said "no".I said okay and left. I was so offended and i had to refrain from telling family and friends not to go...
