BUG in food! No apology and awful service. Very RUDE!
Reviewed By goodC64 Nov 19, 2007

When we noticed a bug (it looked like a fly) in the dish, we called the owner over to see it. She stood there looking at us for a few seconds, without saying a word and just left. No replacement of the dish. Not even an apology!! When we refused to pay for the dish (we still paid the other dishes), she gave us a nasty look. Still, no apology. Even though the food wasn't good and one of the dish had a bug inside, we still left tips. Shortly after we left the restaurant, she came after us, told us "You people don't pay for the food you eat?" (she said it in very rude taiwanese). We were all confused until she told us we did not pay for an appetizer which was only $2.50. We told her we intent to pay, but it is their mistake that they forgot to include that on the bill. And she replied that it is customer's job to go through the bill and point out anything missing. She then took the $3 we gave her, without giving us changes back, without a word, and just left. This is just an awful experience for us. The food tasted just OK, though high priced for the quality and definitely horrible customer service. After talking about this incident with friends, it turned out that we are not the only ones who found bugs in the dish and greeted with poor service. You might want to think twice before you visit.

"This is perhaps my favorite Chinese restaurant in all of San Diego. The reason I say this is because one time I left a wallet full of credit carts and more than 200 dollars of cash and they held onto my wallet and gave me back everything in it...."

"This thickened soup was a strange mish-mash of conflicting flavors, and the lack of decent quality ingredients didn't help it in the least. I really like the slightly gooey soup, it had a nice assertive vinegar and white pepper flavor...."

"The bowl was smaller than what I recall, but it looked and tasted the same. Second rate noodles, the broth was quite weak, lacking richness...."

"This no-frills Taiwanese eaterie offers casual dining for good value and draws a steady stream of fans from all ethnicities, many of them on their way to or from grocery shopping at the Asian market, 99 Ranch, right next door. Service may occasionally be..."
