| - I have to say that this was one of the worst waiter experiences I have ever had. I should have known something was up because when my partner and I first walked in we were given a cold stare before being shown to our table (I wonder why this was?)
If not for the waiter, I might have given this place 3 stars. The food was good, though nothing spectacular. They did have good prices which is why I think my "chicken" noodle in black bean sauce was actually "chicken fat" noodle in black bean sauce. The taste itself wasn't bad, but I'd rather not eat a piece of chicken with the yellow gelatinous fatty skin hanging off every piece.
My partner ordered "chicken" fried rice, but the server heard "shrimp" fried rice (it was sort of tasty though). The waiter repeated twice what he ordered, the first time I heard him say shrimp, but the second time I could have sworn he said chicken...but alas, what he brought out was "shrimp" fried rice. My partner jovially said he had ordered the chicken, but would take the shrimp. The waiter actually seemed offended. He said "no, you ordered shrimp." Uhm, ok, I think we know what we ordered...but then he had the nerve to turn away from the table, throw up his hand and wave it while walking away, as if to say he was done with us. OH HECK NO (neck starting to roll). My mouth went open and all I could say was, "did you see what he did?" Never once did we throw 'tude because we received the wrong order...we just pointed out that we had not ordered what was brought out, but would take it anyway. We should have got up, but we didn't...we were hungry and munched the food unhappily. The waiter, meanwhile, went to talk about us to another waiter. I know this, because I was staring right at him.
By the time we were done, the "other" waiter passed our table and asked if we were ready for our check. Yes, please...when I attempted to pay with my debit/credit card, the guy said there was a $25 minimum order. Uhm, now WTF? excuse me? Where was this posted? Nowhere that I saw...well, I don't carry cash, so I asked, "do you have an ATM?" No, was the reply...so he took my card and charged me a $0.50 fee because it was under $25.00.
Needless to say, I will NEVER go back to this place and I will adamantly stand against it. There is no excuse for rude service...and if you're going to have a minimum for a card, then post it.
