Terrible Service, Cash Only
My experience at this restaurant was overwhelmingly negative due to the extremely bad attitude of one of the staff members. When ordering, she was condescending, teaching us how to order and speak, and even threw the tissue and menu at us as if we were enemies. I came to dine and consume, not to be lectured or endure such rudeness. Her facial expression was also unpleasant. A significant inconvenience was the cash-only policy, which luckily I had prepared for. After paying in cash, the elderly woman at the bill counter scolded a middle-aged man in Cantonese for not tipping, which he responded to with contempt, assuming I wouldn't understand. Aside from the elderly man who prepared the barbecue meat, the rest of the family's attitude was slightly better.

Disgusting Roast Pork and Duck
Today I bought a pound of roast pork and half a roast duck. The roast pork had a lot of burnt parts that were not removed. The roast duck gave me the neck, head, and two shanks, and they took the thigh, back, and two wings. It was really disgusting. It felt like I was buying food waste.

Disappointing Lunch Menu Change
My recent lunch experience was a disappointment as the menu has changed to non-stir fry items only. I was specifically looking for a stir fry dish. However, their deli items were still very good. My husband enjoyed a rice plate with roast duck, and I found it to be good when I tried a piece. Unfortunately, unlike typical rice plates at other restaurants, this one came with no veggies at all, whereas most places offer cooked cabbage. I ordered a plate of warm rice noodles with beef, which was just alright; I've had better.
