OEC Japanese Express — Restaurant in Hattiesburg

The service worker at the front was very rude and at no point expressed any courtesy or etiquette. ALL of the soft drinks served at the restaurant were uncarbonated; with the restaurant effectively serving just a mixture of water and fountain syrup.
