I actually had rose tea three days in a row. Unfortunately it seems like this location is declining in service and quality. \n\nFirst Time:\nBraised Chicken over Rice.\nThe sauce was not too sweet, not too oily, overall delicious.\nThe vegetable was something similar to cucumber and complemented it nicely.\nBoiled egg, also good. :)\n\nService: vibe: You are there to get food, not to talk about your day with the people serving you. \nI won't take one side over another because frankly it's kind of an American thing to expect someone to chat, and since the food was great, I thought, wow, that was rushed, but boy that was good.\n\nFourth time onward:\nBraised Chicken over Rice.\nThe sauce was hot, but the skin on the chicken felt (soggy?) Like the chicken itself wasn't freshly cooked. Not saying that it wasn't, just commenting on the actual taste.\nAlso, it's becoming increasingly oily.\nThe vegetables were store brand frozen vegetables.\nBoiled egg, same as before.\n\nService: Previously I felt like they were conspicuous in trying to get customers out to make room for the next batch, which was fine.I understand efficiency and the mentality of this place, so I'm used to having every single detail of the order thought out before going up to the counter, as well as having cash ready. \n\n But the new girl at the counter is rude to the point that it wears on the customers. \nSomehow though, the new girl at the cashier doesn't understand that while she doesn't owe customers a smile, the impatience she has gets old. \n\n\nWhere does that leave us? \n\nRose Tea would retain more regular customers if the quality was consistently good over time. Also, the aggressive service would benefit from a little organization/toning down. If the cashier doesn't like taking orders, that's fine. But she would probably be happier if she wasn't antagonizing everyone that walks through the front door.\n\nAt the moment however, I would say take your money to the Porch. Or Salem's Market on penn ave. Or even kai mei (though that's cantonese). Just until Rose Tea gets the message that they won't be popular as long as the experience and food are declining."^^ . . .
