Yelp scam alert!!!
Taipei street food style joint located inside Paris Las Vegas.
Each table had pamphlets asking customers to review them on yelp and check in on yelp to get a free drink.
We checked in on yelp and sure thing a free drink coupon showed up.
When it was time to order, I showed our server the coupon and asked her what drinks I could order with that.
Now it gets interesting (and very very shitty).
Our server told us that the free drink is only for people who give them a good review on yelp. So, I would have to write a "good" review on yelp and "show" it to her and only then would she give us the free drink.
I am guessing a lot of 5 star reviews here are in exchange for a free drink.
Fake reviews all around!! Not at all expected from a decently high end place like this.
Horrendous. Scam. Fake Reviews.
The food wasn't bad though. We had dim sums and the Singaporean noodles. The noodles were good, dim sum was decent- a little too dry for my liking.
However this is Las Vegas, there are tons and tons of great places to eat which do not ask you to write a "good" review and "show" it to them for a free drink.
Better avoided.
I hope the yelp team takes notice.
