| - I wanted so bad to like this new spot in Southend. It is very loud in the restaurant, and tables are on top of one another. Our group was seated in a corner and literally had to squeeze between chairs to get to the table. It took our server about 15 minutes to acknowledge our presence. After ordering drinks and an appetizer, we waited 45 minutes for our drinks. The server didn't make eye contact with us, while other tables who were seated way after us were being served (and had drinks!) - the appetizer - wings - were delicious, perfect flavor, but no dipping sauce and lack of drinks didn't provide the best experience. We eventually were served water in plastic, cafeteria style cups... For the price, I expected a glass... Nonetheless. Our group finally got bar drinks after our appetizer was complete and we asked the server about our drinks... She said she would go kick the bartenders a$$??? Grapefruit beer was delish, but again, after 45 minutes I would hope so. We ordered the fire chicken and lots of sides (they were out of pulled pork) - Everything for your table is served on one tray and you serve yourself in a paper tray. Chicken was not tasty, nor did anyone really eat it. Ramen Mac and cheese was similar to ramen and cheese wiz. The Bao buns were interesting and good. Corn pimento cheese, rice, pork rinds, and slaw has way too many competing flavors that just didn't jive. While in the restaurant you will be treated??? to Asian music videos that are somewhat lewd in nature... We were confused by the purpose. If I went back, I would only have the wings and bounce. You will find better service at McD, and I hate to say it, meal, too. Will not be surprised if place does not make it.
