| - Oh 168 Market, what a disappointment...I've shopped here numerous times but usually come to pick up dim sum and Chinese take-out from the deli. Today I went there to see if I could order a pan of chowmein, a pan of fried rice and a whole roast duck for a potluck at work the next day. With my broken Cantonese, I tried to ask the man behind the counter if I could pre-order a pan of chicken chowmein and fried rice with BBQ pork. He looked at me all perplexed and pointed to the chowmein and fried rice that was already out and said that's all they had. I said, this time in English, I wanted to pre-order and pick up later but can I add chicken in the chowmein and BBQ pork in the fried rice. His answer again was NO, only what we have here.....ugh...frustrated, I took my money across the street to Asian BBQ and ordered my pan of chicken chowmein, combo fried rice and my whole duck...done within 1 hour. Sorry 168, you lost out on a $100 transaction just cause you couldn't add chicken to the chowmein and BBQ pork to the fried rice...ALL the ingredients you already have...
Will I come back? Yes, just so I can get take-out dim sum but now I know, you cannot have 168 Market make anything that will deviate from what they already have sitting out in the deli...so next time if you need to grab food for a party go to Asian BBQ across the street instead.
