we were the only table dining inside.The waitress was awfully rude rushing us to make our selection after telling her twice we needed time. When the food came and she took away the sweet and sour bottle. Asked her twice to bring it back she ignored us. I had to get up and ask the owner for the bottle and then she finally brought it back with an attitude without apologizing. I tried asking her her for more tea she ignored us the entire time after that and would bring water which we didn’t want. I tried ordering another selection of drinks and she didn’t care. She kept rushing to bring the tab which I wasn’t done eating which was beyond rude. She gave me an attitude asking me if I was done several times when my husband was in the bathroom felt supper uncomfortable. He obviously was a gentleman picking up our tab but she was not patient. I had enough of the disrespect and choose to take the tab in front and pay the tab. When I walked back to the table she asked “NO SERVICE TIP?” “WHERE IS MY TIP” it was so unfortunate. After the way she served us and gave us an attitude and was inattentive she HAD THE AUDACITY TO ASK FOR A TIP. I told her she’s rude and doesn’t deserve it. When I called and told the owner he disregarded her behavior and said she’s acting like this because at night men have stollen their sweet and sour bottles and utensils. What does theft in your store have to do with our service and how we are treated. Never coming back here again. You never ask a customer for a tip especially when your customer service skills are very unprofessional.

I usually order out but this time we dine in with a couple of friends. I love the food here the best Chinese food style in the area, I love their tea! I give it a 3 on the service because the waitress was such in a rush the whole time in serving us, she had barely giving us the menu when she was already asking what was our order. Other than that the food is great here.

Is not just in this restaurant I ask for shrimp fried rice and feel or taste flavor no more is missing freshness, vegetables,eggs,onions, well all what supposed to taste on that dish not just there I go to many different places and the same I would like to thing that shouldn't be different taste for every culture. Fried Rice is the most profitable dish I just wanted respect for my money and my self. Thanks...
