  • Located right besides Smith's but in a shady looking alley with other small storefronts. Walked in and was greeted by a punch in the face with a funky (bad) smell that lingered throughout the restaurant. There was a man sitting behind the counter at the front that seated us down and soon after a server came to ask if we wanted anything to drink. After the second time we were asked if we were ready yet to which we responded a few more minutes and he disappeared to the back. But when we were ready, he was still nowhere to be found so we kindly got the attention of the man chilling behind the counter to order but he walks away to the back to get the server. Okaaaaaaay, so he doesn't take the orders at all that's fine. Does he chill by the counter as a cook/security perhaps? But once our server came and took our order, the same exact man stood right besides him as we ordered and constantly repeated the item we pointed at. I'm guessing both are in charge of making the food, but isn't that a bit of a security problem as no one else is watching or tending to customers (if there were any)? Decided halfway through to ask for it to be placed in to-go boxes but had to go shout into the kitchen as no one else was outside to ask. Fast forward to a mysterious bag of food placed on the counter and the man chilling back at his counter again. Maybe it's mine? Maybe it's another guy's since he was sitting at a table waiting too. Make eye contact. Nothing. Okay maybe it's ours. Go up to pay the guy just stares and looks elsewhere while standing right in front of him. Maybe he's waiting for the server to translate? 3-4 awkward minutes pass after sitting back down since clearly he wasn't going to do anything and he finally says "ready." Wow really?! Okay back to paying. And still, he's not stating the total or showing us the bill to see what was charged to make sure--just stare. Had to scout for the screen that states the amount due. Having a language barrier is completely fine, but running a business with zero communication is not. Not even the basics of a point and order from a menu, hello goodbye, yes no, thank you, and numbers. At least the server was trying his best to handle the customer service part of his job. Contrary to basically all the reviews here praising this restaurant, I feel they are all phony. The food was very much not worth the price. I get it. You get what you pay for. But the portions are just ridiculous! For a couple dollars more for the SAME meal elsewhere, you'd get a full portion. At a discount of a few bucks less than regular prices, this place will literally give you only 1/4 of the portion DESPITE being HALF of the regular pricing. Expect only 2-3 pieces of meat per bowl of rice
