| - I had lunch at this restaurant on a Friday at around 1:45pm. There was approximately 7 tables occupied, and overall business was light. When me and my colleague arrived we were greeted by a waitress/hostess "wearing mini shorts", so I guess we must be at the Asian version of Moxies? While we were directed to our table, we were each given a menu and with a smile from Mini Shorts she simply brisked away... A gentleman (probably the manager) walked by and greeted us with a smile and a nodding gesture assuming to give us a sense of gratitude for whatever we will endure in the next hour....
To me the dishes were mediocre and we had to remind them of a forgotten dish. My colleague said it'll be the last time he'll listen to me for lunch suggestions, and that's because he initially wanted to go for Dim Sum at a nearby restaurant (which isn't too good either). He even told me to give no tips, but I told him instead of tipping 15% I will simply tip 5%.
At the time, this didn't really bother me, but when my colleague mentioned it to me I agreed. The waiter (a young chap), supposedly serving his patrons decided to clean and refill the vinegar/sauce bottles. While we were having our Xioa Long Baos... he would do his re-fills at our table. My colleague was in complete disarray, and I told him it's a normal routine at a Chinese restaurant, and the young chap was doing his daily run. Low and behold he would come back a 2nd time!! This time replacing an already filled bottle of vineger with another.... I jokingly said "he might do it again the third time."
Anyways after an ordeal with burnt food, soup squirting on dress shirts (lol), and a forgotten dish, we decided to ask for the bill. The young waiter standing around cleaning vinegar bottles happen to glance over, so I gestured for the bill. The young chap called out a waitress and told her that we needed the bill. She came over with the bill and I inserted my cc into their machine but entered 0% for tips... so I cancelled the transaction and handed the machine back to the waitress. The waitress was not very attentive (not Mini Shorts by the way, she disappeared), so I had to waive at her to let her know I made a mistake. With a care free attitude she simply punched in the sale again and handed the machine back to me and I punched 10%, darn it!!! At that moment, I just wanted to get out, so I confirmed the transaction and done! Out of there!!! First time and last time at the Yu Gardens!
By the way during my ordeal with the machine the young chap replaced the vinegar bottles at our table for the 3rd time..... My buddy says, the young chap is just a "slacker".... lol.
