HONG KONG BBQ RESTAURANT — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Not going to lie but the food was good (not delicious but ok) and they give you a good portion for the prices. Now CUSTOMER SERVICE is horrendous!!!! I asked for a booth right when I got there for 4 people and right away the guy there (I believe he’s the owner or manager, he’s pretty tall) said we couldn’t because there wasn’t room. There was literally 3 empty booths there! Fine, I dropped it. At about 7:20 a couple came in and right off the bat the same guy told them that they closed at 8pm so they wouldn’t have time for dine in. When the couple said why they wouldn’t be able to still do dine in when they clearly had 40 minutes left, the tall guy literally said, “Than you can do takeout and if you don’t like it you can leave.” As for us at 7:40 he was already bringing the takeout boxes and check. We weren’t even done. He never checked up on us, never asked if all was well or if we needed anything, and was overall rude with the little bit of clients he had, and was even using the vacuum right near us. We couldn’t enjoy the food and our get together. Even after all that he still expected us to tip him $25. He actually told me that was a separate “bill” apart from the food and the “dine-in charge” (Yeah they charge you extra if you want to eat inside) Overall I recommend anyone to go anywhere else but here, take your money elsewhere and support a restaurant where they actually care about their...

Is it bad that I hate eating at bad restaurants but I like that I can write 1 or 2 star reviews to fill those low star quotas? I have a problem. Do you think this too? First world problems. "So much food here and I want to eat bad food just so I can write about it!"

Grease Monkey

No, not the oil change place...I mean the dishes, but not the monkey dishes, that only happens in Indiana Jones movies. You know, "Doctor Jones! Doctor Jones!" Indie goes to a Indian palace and eats monkey eye balls out of a monkey skull. Good stuff. Unlike how good those eyeballs probably were, dishes at Hong Kong BBQ were not as good. Everything was so greasy I could have drained out every dish and poured it into my cars gas tank and it would run. I think I just shaved off like 5 years of my life for eating here. Arteries officially clogged. Don't be fooled by my awesome photos, all that glistening food is just the gallon of vegetable oil they pour on top of each dish.

Chinese's "New" Means Changing Names

Man they fooled me good, I thought it was a "new" restaurant on Yelp but turns out it's just the old Sam Woo in Chinatown but they changed names. It's still that dirty old location where food is all over the ground and you want to bring your own chair and table covers so you don't have to touch anything in the restaurant.
