Shimiaodao Noodle — Restaurant in New York

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE I almost never leave a bad review on restaurants because I know it affects their business as well but I feel the need to do so for this place. If there was an option of leaving negative stars, I'd gladly do it.

The service is absolutely horrendous. I used to be a server as well and that is not how you treat customers.

The GUY with RECTANGULAR GLASS frame was our server

Me and my gf ordered same dish.

First of all, the server brought us two different orders.

When we asked him why it was different and i wanted MY order, he started giving me ridiculous rude excuses and slammed a pot of spicy sauce on the table to make the dish spicy. It was very disrespectful

Then, when i went in front of cashier to sort out the issue, same guy came and asked me to pay $14 extra if i wanted to get MY order.WHY SHOULD I????

Then another lady came in and resolved the issue by preparing the ordered dish for me.

Surprisingly, the dish was ready in less than a minute.(we waited for 10 min for our order) All they did was sprinkled some spices in there to make it look as if they made a new dish.

The only reason i didnt leave the place right there was because my girl was hungry and her dish was already served.

Not once did any server came up and asked us if everything was okay for us in the table the whole time we were eating food.

Obviously, we did not enjoy the experience at all. So, we decided to not leave any tips on the bill, for such a hectic service they provided us.

Whats worse, the same guy with the glasses came over to us as we were leaving, stared fighting with me for not leaving any tips and legit said, DON'T COME BACK HERE from next time. Why should I leave the gratuity if i didnt feel comfortable, and who are you to ask me how much i should spend MY MONEY.

Its new york city, you have tons of wonderful restaurants to choose from. Do these people think that this is the only place we can eat.

I've been living in nyc for over 6 years and this is the veryyyyy firstttt timeee I've been dis respected in the restaurant by a server.

Also for your information, I have filed a complaint for your rude behavior.

Enjoy rest...

CHINA (YUNNAN) 🇨🇳 Excerpt from Eat the World NYC: One of the benefits of all the younger generation Chinese money flowing into Flushing and other parts of the city is a wealth of options for regional cuisines. In large Chinese cities with hungry and affluent people, there is a desire to eat the foods from all around the vast country, where regional styles are wide. These hungers have of course traveled with the newest residents, and new, sleek restaurants seem to be popping up weekly to cater to them.

One of the biggest trends of the last few years is the cuisine from the southern province of Yunnan, and specifically the rice noodle soup known as "crossing the bridge noodle." This is the most famous dish from Yunnan and is known throughout China. There is some debate about the origins of the name and story behind these noodles, if you have a moment dig into this fun rabbit hole.

Served traditionally, a tray of ingredients comes out while the soup broth is heated up. Sliced meats of your choosing, pickled vegetables, lettuce, and a quail egg make up some of the items that will eventually make their way into the soup. In Yunnan, rice noodles are eaten almost exclusively as the southern climate supports this staple over northern grains. A bowl of hot cooked rice noodles is brought out just...
