"Imagine the worst dining experience you can think of. This restaurant takes that concept to a whole new level. Let’s break it down from the start. The dining area was dirty and uncomfortable—check. Staff members completely ignored us—check. We were given a wait time, only to sit for an extra 15 minutes—check. The food was inedible—raw, overcooked, excessively greasy, and nothing like what was promised—check, check, check, check. When I called to request a partial refund, I was hung up on three times—check. I went to the restaurant only to be ignored again, then confronted and intimidated by the manager for half an hour, who insisted I go through the website for a refund—definitely check. Ultimately, I contacted the ordering company directly, managed to secure a refund, and escaped the hostile environment, but then found my refund reduced to just $5 by the very person who had advised me to use that platform—check. I feel like I must be missing something, because this place encompasses every aspect of a terrible dining experience. I genuinely believe this business should be shut down, and legal action should be pursued. I’m sharing this so you, dear reader, know to steer clear. This place is simply not worth it—you will regret ordering food here. P.S. The Chinese donuts are nothing but Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers Biscuits coated in granulated sugar—completely raw. Delicious, right?"
