"I want to preface this review by stating that I have gone to Dae Gee in Aurora on Havana for some time, and although I’ve received pushy waiters and occasionally rude servers overall it was never enough to make me say I wouldn’t return.Tonight- 3-3-2023 I met a friend at the restaurant. Upon entering an older female who was about to refuse to seat my friend and I because we were just a party of two, and she was trying to reserve the large tables for larger parties but there was no one there at the time. Luckily, a couple who sat at a table to cook themselves decided to have the restaurant cook for them so we were seated. The next issue came when our server Truong was asked to bring some more brisket, and he informed my friend and I that he couldn’t bring us any more until we finished what was on our plate. I told him okay although it seemed odd. He turned around from us and started speaking to a table across from us where three white males were sitting. I noticed that he brought them a plate full of meat, one of the items of which was brisket and as he proceeded to sit the plate down the guys sitting there had to move a plate to the side which still had frozen brisket on it. He turned around and I called him over and proceeded to ask him why he brought them brisket after just telling me that they would not bring my friend and I anymore until we finished what was on our plate, he proceeded to argue with us and tell us that it was “because they were actually eating the meat at their table” , I proceeded to inform him that I came there regularly and knew what I was capable of consuming (furthermore their menu clearly stated that they assess charges against people for food not consumed, so why was he metering my friend and I on what we could order). I informed Truong (name on the receipt) that I came to that restaurant often and that my friends and I usually tip very well for good service (often times 30-100% of the bill total) He walked back to the kitchen and then returned and apologized (stating it was his first night, but this was not the first time I received derogatory service), but I was pretty much over the meal at that point. I feel like the servers and staff of this restaurant assume if you’re a minority that you can be bullied, so they will try (as if you don’t know what the service should be like), or they will limit your service based on the perception that you won’t tip as well as white patrons. I had issues when I brought my children and their friend for dinner in December the older female waitress insisted that my children must listen to Rap music because my son had dreadlocks. I’m just over the disrespect every time I and my friends come to eat here it is over a hundred dollars in some cases 200-300 dollars. I don’t feel the need to spend my money where I feel unwanted, or unappreciated. I’ll be finding my way to other establishments from here on, and if you’ve experienced the same I recommend you do the same as well! The vibe here gives discrimination, sad for a restaurant seated in the middle of diverse Aurora. If they are training their new staff to be hardasses for the sake of turning a buck or two here and there, but they only treat certain people a certain way shame on them!Parking: Parking is not great for this area and can be cramped arrive early rather than late."
