Frequently criticized
- serviceI stopped by to pick up some food, and despite being 6 ft 3, I was ignored by the workers for at least 10 minutes while they accommodated other Filipino customers. Because of this sub-standard attitude and lack of respectful service, I left and will not return. The food itself is also inconsistent; sometimes it's good, but other times it's dried out and not fresh.

Ambience (8 out of 10)
mentioned by 24% of the guests
Stepping into this spot, youre generally in for a treat! With a solid score of 8 and a customer satisfaction rate of 86.4%, the ambience here is definitely a good experience for most. Many folks, in 19 out of 22 comments, raved about the "clean store, " "pleasant smell, " and how it feels like a "hidden gem.
" The "spaciousness" and well-stocked "Asian market" side also got big thumbs up, making it a convenient and enjoyable place to explore. However, its not entirely without its quirks. A couple of comments, just 2 out of 22, did bring up some concerns.
The main point of contention seems to be the bathroom situation, with one person noting its absence and another describing it as unsanitary. So, while the overall vibe is great, you might want to plan accordingly.

Stomach Ache from Old Noodles
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. We all ended up with stomach aches 🤒, which is a clear indication of a problem with the food. The noodles were noticeably old at the bottom, leading to this unpleasant outcome.
It was a truly sad experience 😞.

Attempted Rip-off on Tea Price
My experience at this restaurant involved a young female clerk behind the counter who tried to rip me off on China Slim Tea. The box and shelf price both stated $4. 59, but she insisted I had to pay $7.
12. I pointed out she was wrong and accused her of stealing from me, stating I would never shop there again. When she scanned the box, it correctly showed $4.
59. I can order the same box online for $2. 00.
I will never again shop here.

Disappointing Food and Service
I'm questioning how this place received a 4. 1-star rating. My experience was that it's only good for a quick grocery run.
I wasn't even greeted with a 'hi' or 'hello' by the cashier. The food was bland, and the shrimp paste was equally uninspired. This was on Sunday, May 10th, between 2-4 pm.
