| - Hm... i am thinking that to qualify to work at Congee Me, one must need to be really good at putting on a bitch face. I don't mean to be rude about this, but really... no one cracked a smile. Perhaps they had a competition to see who could scowl the most. If that's the case, it would be hard to pick a winner.
My friends and i were given a piece of paper to write down our orders. After we finalized what we wanted, we gave the paper to the waitress. She looked at it and rudely told us to rewrite everything in Chinese. Luckily we had a friend there who was fluent in Chinese and he graciously obliged.
We ordered 4 bowls of congee, a vegetable as well as a chicken dish. Everything was delivered quickly. The waitress, however, brought 2 extra dishes that we didn't order. When we told her about it, she literally talked back and insisted that we did. After a bit, we referred back to the piece of paper to let her see our orders. She argued that they were written down, but we told her that those dishes written in English were the same in Chinese. She then blamed us for using the 2 languages to confuse the orders. We had to tell her that it was her who insisted on us rewriting in Chinese. Not our problem!!!
The food tasted really good but the dishes were small. So my friend decided to order another bowl of vegetable congee. What she gave him was a bowl of meat congee. For all that food, we each had to pay only $6. That's the good part of the meal experience.
I would go back for the food, but at the same time, it's intimidating to deal with those warrior-like staff in the restaurant.
