I rarely take the time to write a review but I feel obligated to send everyone a warning since I did not pay attention to a few of the reviews I read before I went to this place which over and over again mentioned the same over the top unacceptable Behavior from whoever the guy is in charge. Ive just moved to Chicago and the food is good and affordable.... so I was excited to find a place nearby and quite ironically had just complimented whoever checked me out telling them how happy I was to have found them and then left a 50% tip then ...Then whoever this OTHER horrific owner was ..AFTER I'd even asked permission just to sit down for 5 minutes at a table and eat a little bit of what I just ordered until my ride came .....the guy said yes ....then God forbid I asked for a napkin and quite literally after less than 5 minutes whoever this owner was( an older Chinese man )...told me "we don't want you here ..u go go ...out..now?!?! and I said I had just ordered something to go when I've been here 5 minutes oh you go you go out the rudest I've ever been treated ever at a restaurant EVER... and even though I left in this review that the food is really good or at least a five times that I've had it since I've been in Chicago but I want everyone to know the way I was treated makes this some place to avoid absolutely. unacceptable the way I was treated and I will...
