"So my friends and I certainly aren't treehuggers, but this restaurant made us feel incredibly guilty about all of the waste we were creating. From the bamboo plates, paper soup bowls, plastic utensils, bamboo skewers, and paper on the trays, all of it went straight to the garbage can when we were done.\n\nThe worst part was that Charidise gives you tap water in the plastic cups, complete with plastic covers and plastic straws. The same ones you'd expect for bubble tea. And if you ask for refills, instead of a server getting a jug of water and leaving it at the table, they give you even more plastic cups and straws. \n\nThere is no reason why a group of four should have eight cups by the end of a meal.\n\nBy the time we were done, we were swimming in plastic and paper, and although the food was fine, this definitely marred our experience. \n\nSo much waste. \n\nIf the owners are listening, please change this ridiculous contribution to landfills that you're making every day. You have a beautiful space and a huge kitchen-- surely you can afford some real plates, cups, and cutlery? \n\n\nP.S. On a funny note, the entrees come with a bag of Doritos, which is just hilarious. (And, come to think of it, even more wasteful. Oh my.)"^^ .
