| - To sum up, shit service, small serving, and OK taste.
I tried another Sichuan restaurant a bit south from this place and loved it. But when I walked pass this one tonight, it was a crowded house, so I decided to give it a try.
I walked in, stood in front of the door and wait to be seated like in another other Chinese restaurants in town. However, the waiters were too busy chatting behind the counter to notice me. After I tried harder by waving to them couple times, I finally got to sit down. Without any greeting, a guy in black brought over a cup of water and a menu book, then immediately left without even saying hello. Of course, he did not bother to ask what I would prefer, tea or water.
The menu is not impressive so I decided to just order the classic Dan Dan Noodle. When it arrived, the dish was as small as the size of a side dish in French restaurants! The small serving is barely enough for someone who is on a serious diet. On the other hands, tableware should have been placed before the dish and napkins are among the basics. However, at this place, the waitress waited until she came to serve the dish that she brought over a pair of chopsticks, which were in a weird head-to-toe order. And of course, she must thought that I would not need the napkin so did not bother to give me one or ask me.
The waiters at this place are quite inattentive. None of them had ever approached and checked with me if I need anything. In order to get the bill, I had to ask two waitresses and waited for like 10 minutes. When I got the changes, again, they automatically assume that I would not need the receipt and had all the numbers at the back of my head, so they did not bother to leave a receipt for me.
The place stands out among other small Chinese restaurants nearby probably largely because of its slightly modern decoration. However, this is a poor representation of Chinese customer service practice.
For those who like authentic Sichuan food, good services, and big servings, I recommend going to another Sichuan restaurant which is just one block south of this place.
