Samwongahk Chinese Restuarant — Restaurant in New York

Stopped by Friday, 6/13/25 , having previously checked the menu . 1 ) Grossly overpriced, charging extra for use of credit cards 2) Single person "rabbit hole" bathrooms in a restaurant with seating capacity for 80 ( besides staff) 3 ) My tasty fried scallops only came with a few very thin pieces of red and green pepper : absolutely ridiculous for the price ! 4 ) I had to remind my rather distracted , but pleasant, waitress about tea..... she sent a Hispanic employee over , no sugar, milk, teaspoon, ...and I felt it necessary to instruct him ( a very affable fellow ) to hold tea cups from the bottom, not from the rim, before I left ......

For main we got the fried rice and black bean noodles. Both were average but they fill you up. You start with the hot tea set and the small pickled dishes. The red kimchi was great and it paired well with everything. Can't wait...

Food was ok but the staff made my son feel awkward when he asked to use the bathroom and to have chopsticks for his souvenir, this was my kids' first experience here and my daughter liked the food but saw how the staff started to talk about her brother after he walked away with his souvenir. The staff had the nerve to tell me I have to put a tip on my credit card slip. I said no after the way they made my kids feel so uncomfortable. Unacceptable! Just because we don't speak or look Asian doesn't mean anyone should be made to...
