| - Aaaahhh so, I came here out of necessity with my co-workers for a Christmas lunch on December 22nd and I will NEVER be back. Out of necessity because one of my co-workers needed a quick lunch because she had to be back to the office before 1pm. We would have rather went to Yamato but they were booked up so sadly we were forced to come here if we wanted something fast.
I'm going to cut to the chase because this incident bothered me to the core. I actually was crying at work and at home because of it, and had to explain what happened to my co-workers. We quickly get our food and the server who, let's be honest, was not there for his table side manner and was quite consistent in being curt with all of us comes over to meet one of the kitchen staff who helped serve the food because it was busy. They both come over and she has the three bento boxes in both hands. She proceeds to go and hand me one, the first one, he quickly leans in over my shoulder and snatched it from and says "hak gwai", she catches on and he puts the dish meant to be served to me first in front of my one co-worker sitting beside me, she puts the next one in front of my other worker sitting diagonally across from me, and I get the last one. Like I am a dog or something to be served last because yes, despite my light complexion, I. AM. BLACK. Mother black, father half black, raised in a very black household thanks. And he noticed. The pig he was. Yes you, the server with the one front tooth he can't keep in his mouth. You thought that I wouldn't understand what you were saying but my husband worked at a VERY popular Chinese take out joint for more than 10 years. He knows ALL the cuss words and is very able to cuss a Chinese person out in their native tongue. You nasty racist judgemental piece of something. Because I didn't want to show out, I gave you a bigger tip than you deserved because I knew that you insulted and were stereotyping me. I mean, I couldn't even pay first, lmao! You choked on you own spit because I most likely tipped more than my co-workers, who by the way if you haven't guessed yet...where white. You then said, feeling shocked and surprised, Merry Christmas!! Well, go f yourself!
If you're black, don't eat here. It's like all I wanted to do was enjoy a quick lunch with co-workers and I had to experience this bull because he thought I wouldn't understand what he was saying. This is not the first time this has happened to me in a Chinese food restaurant and the last one I confronted the owner about it and she stuttered trying to say it's not meant in a bad way. But if you say it in a way that alerts another server that somebody is black in order to serve them last, then that's racist, just like the kitchen staffer that walked past me and my son at the other establishment that my family and I frequented for like 20 years and said that out the side of his mouth. I've stopped going there as well. Sushi Inn will never see another dollar of mine, even if in a bind and h*ll should freeze over. I couldn't even keep myself together at work. I do hope the owner sees this, I know the server with the front buck tooth who is easily identifiable will probably deny this. It's unfortunate someone who looks like him thinks he can judge me but I am not surprised you should have saw the cooks my husband worked with and heard the things they would say about black people. From the gutter.
For those who don't know...knowing is half the battle. Hak gwai: A Chinese (Cantonese) slang to describe persons of African descent. The slang is often used in a derogatory manner, but may be used for humor as well.
