I found this place when I drop my clothes off at the dry cleaners next-door, and what caught my eye was the 6.99 shrimp fried rice with a free soda, and I kept seeing a lot of people coming in and out. So I knew it must’ve been good! The main problem I had with this restaurant was the older Asian lady taken the orders. She seemed very confused and a little slow acting about stuff when you ask her stuff about the food. She wasn’t the friendliest person. They made my order to go because, I thought I was gonna eat at home, but then I decided to stay there and eat, so I had grabbed two little containers of hot chili oil and she grabbed them off my table, and she said, since you’re eating here, you don’t need the togo hot chili oil. I was like that’s rude to grab something off my table and just turned her back. I asked for tea instead of a soda and she was like, you don’t just want a soda and I’m like no. She did not want to make tea because she was too lazy which is crazy, because she makes the tea in a coffee pot. As I was getting my refill at the counter she demanded a tip from me which is crazy because I never needed her service from her. She said, did you leave my tip on the table and I’m like whaaaat??? Tip for what? You didn’t do anything, everything thing is self help there. I wouldn’t recommend going here. Take it to go and I seen on other reviews that she will charge your card for a tip without you knowing it, so check your bank account before leaving. They also intend to forget stuff, so make sure to check your bags...
