I have procrastinated writing this, but I want people to know about my experience here on my birthday. I brought my little brother, my boyfriend, my two best friends, and my boyfriend's parents. It took us 15 minutes of sitting before our water came. First, our waitress came to the table and looked at my dear friend, who is a beautiful black woman and was wearing dark lipstick and a lovely purple dress. She said to our table "I thought Halloween was over." We all looked at each other, confused. She repeated herself, "I thought Halloween was over." Do we look odd, we finally asked. And I realized that she was zoning in on my friend. She then commented on her dark lipstick, which complimented her skin, but apparently made our waitress feel that it was funny. She then went to get our appetizers, and they came STILL before we got any water. Finally I went to the host and begged for water because we were so thirsty, we were cracking jokes about drinking from the bathroom sink. The waitress never acknowledged or apologized for not bringing water. She then continued to talk to my friend in a condescending tone, treating her terribly as she ordered, repeating what she said like she was a child. It was making us all so uncomfortable. She brought her a very odd dish, and when my friend questioned it, she said she would have to charge her to change it. I was angry and asked for the manager, who said the waitress was just new to American culture and she defended her inappropriate behavior with our table. She offered my friend a different dish, at which point we said "that IS what she ordered in the first place." So she had intentionally brought my friend the wrong food. The manager still charged her for the food and then had the audacity to add gratuity to our bill, when the woman who waited on us gave the worst service in the history of waitressing. She also kept harassing my friend after reporting to the manager, apologizing but then asking questions and just driving her crazy. The manager should have removed this woman from caring for our party long before this. What a terrible birthday dinner. They had some dishes I really enjoyed but I will NEVER go back. A terrible discriminatory waitress topped with a manager who barely bothered to fix the situation. I've had better service...

I don't normally visit this establishment but when family members have their events here, I attend. The food is normally fresh and delicious but is overpriced. I visited last night for a birthday dinner, the service was very fast and prompt, but when my food arrived, it looked delicious but I did notice there was a pungent smell of rancid cabbage that overpowered all of my dishes. I ordered combination lo mein, crab rangoon, and shrimp dumplings. I've ordered this meal previously and this food never smelled bad any other time. I assumed I was being sensitive since everyone else at the table was enjoying their food. I proceeded to eat a few bites of the dumplings, and there was a bad aftertaste so I did not finish them at all. I also shared my food with my mother and my daughter since the portions are so generous. The flavors of the lo mein and crab rangoon were fine, but I couldn't ignore the smell and eventually my stomach turned. Soon, my stomach was upset and I spent the rest of the meal going back and forth to the restoom. The last trip, I puked up half of my food, so I became upset. I come back to the table, everyone else was getting ready to leave but my mom and daughter complained of a stomach ache as well, so my mom took my baby to the restroom while I talk to the "manager" who says her name is Jennifer. I explained the situation and she refused to be of any assistance aside from taking my phone number and saying the "owner" will call me back. My mother paid the check already before heading to the restroom, so all I asked was that they refund the food that we couldn't enjoy. The food was packaged up on the table, I told her to smell the food so that she could see I wasn't lying about the rancid odor. She basically said I couldn't prove we were getting sick because of the food and she couldn't help any further. Even though my daughter and mother were BOTH in the bathroom experiencing the same symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting after eating off of my plates. I'm extremely disappointed in how the situation was handled. My daughter still had diarrhea the next morning, and needless to say we will NOT be attending anymore functions at this restaurant because...
