| - The food here is perfectly fine, but the dining experience must take both food and service into account. It is here that we encounter trouble. The server is disappointed when you order off the menu rather than grab your grub yourself from the buffet. One gets the impression that the objection is that it represents unwelcome work for the server.
Your server will not volunteer recommendations or advice, even if asked. He will only silently take your order. You will not be informed that rice is extra (!), and when you ask for an order, there will be no apology or any comment forthcoming, not a "coming right up" or anything of the sort. Your rice will be set silently on your table and your server will disappear.
You will not be asked if you enjoyed your food. You will not be asked if you would like tea afterwards.
For takeout, this place is fine. No service is expected anyway, so order away. For me, dining out demands a little extra. I'm not demanding much, just a little courtesy. Show me that you enjoy serving food to delighted customers, not that you appear to be working off the requirements of some kind of bizarre prison sentence. Dining out is a service business; show some passion and even delight for serving, or find a job that doesn't require such intense customer contact.
