The Diamond has been around a long time. Before the revamp and new ownership it was a 2 vegetable and a tea place for 20+ years, in the early 2000's it seemed to become slowly worse over time until I eventually stopped going there. So naturally I was excited to try it again after the revamp. The first time I went it was great, food was fresh and the place seemed clean and updated. I thought I had found love again with the Diamond but was soon disappointed on my second, third and final fourth visit. I am not sure what happened in the following months. The food, specifically the fried chicken and vegetables tasted like they had been sitting around for hours or maybe reheated. The sanitation grade also seemed to hover in the low 90's for a 6 month period. Not sure how that is possible for a place that was just redone completely. If you combine this with the fact that every time we visited there was a wait of 45 minutes it became a bad experience. The Diamond I once knew back in the day had seemed to turn into a tourist trap filled with hipsters that commuted in on weekends just to say they had been there. Basically all fluff and no substance. Where is the quality of The Diamond I once knew?
