China Bistro — Restaurant in Rosemead

This restaurant has some outdoor seating, mainly for smokers or when indoor seating is totally packed. The food is tasty and tends to be seasoned a bit too salty for our group. The restaurant does get busy especially on the weekends. Parking can be a challenge depending on the time. The parking lot is also quite confusing as drivers tend to drive the wrong way while trying to find parking spots or trying to get to the other side of the parking lot. Service can be a bit slow when...

I’m probably one of the only gweilo that comes here and I always get the king pao chicken extra spicy and last night I orders out and told them EXTRA EXTRA SPICY and they did not disappoint! It was so good I was sweating from like the 3rd bite 😂 but seriously this place is always packed with Asian people so you know it’s good and I eat there at least once a week. It’s not very expensive at all either especially considering the amount of food they give you....

兩個禮拜來這裡吃了三四次，每次都覺得很不錯吃且服務好。 今天帶朋友來這裡請他們吃飯，雖然我不是本地人，我朋友是本地人，但他們沒吃過，我也很推薦他們來吃，我們也吃的很開心，用餐後，我結帳時被一位女服務生用一種抱怨的方式強制要了至少15%的小費（還說單據下面有寫，這是規矩），其實不是很舒服。 之前每次吃的時候都是主動給小費的，點50～80美金，消費多數都是10～15美金，但這次來直接在我朋友面前說小費給少了，感覺有點不是很恰當，但我還是補了15美金。

可以理解給小費是一種文化，但通常小費是給服務我們的人，而抱怨的服務生既非點餐也非服務人員，這點我比較不理解，當然也可能他是老闆娘，替員工抱不平。

I came here to eat three or four times in two weeks. Every time I think it's very delicious and the service is good.

Today, I brought my friends here to invite them to launch . Although I am not a local but my friends are locals, they have never eaten. I also recommend them to eat. We also ate very happily. After the meal, I was forced to pay at least 15% of the tip by a waitress in a complaining way (and said that there was a document below written in ticket , this is the rule), in fact, it is not very comfortable.

In the past, I took the initiative to tip every time I ate. I ordered $5080, and most of the consumption was $1015. But this time I came directly in front of my friend and said that I gave tips too less , which felt a little inappropriate, but I still pay $15 tips.

It is understandable that tipping is a kind of culture, but usually tips are for those who serve us, and the complaining waiter is neither an orderer nor a service person. I don't understand this. Of course, it is also possible that he is the...
