| - Received absolutely horrible service today. We walked in (party of 2) and it was empty with the exception of a large group in the middle of the restaurant. We were initially given a small table near a loud/larger party and asked if we could sit further away at a table where we could sit next to each other. The guy walked us over to another small table for two, and I explained again that we wanted a 4-seater table so we could sit next to each other. Didn't think it was a big deal, since the place was pretty much empty. He grabbed the menus and threw them down hard in the middle of a large table and walked away.
Uhm, what? RUDE, RUDE, RUDE!!!!
We both decided we should probably leave, but were craving dim sum and were starving. So despite our first reaction, we stayed. BIG MISTAKE.
The service continued to be rude, the tall guy stood in the corner and watched us like a hawk...and the "dim sum" cart was very bad. There were only four choices to choose from in one cart. None were really recognizable and looked like they'd been there a while (not fresh). We wound up ordering a couple things off the regular menu, and were ok, but overall not happy so we asked for the check and left, still hungry and off to eat somewhere else in the shopping center.
I do not recommend dining at Rice Republic at all. Food was horrible and the service much, much worse. Plenty of other restaurants close by that treat patrons respectfully and actually pride themselves on service. That's important, and they just don't understand that here. Sad.
