You should watch the episode from south park "you're not yelping."
don't worry op those chinese will sort her out
>All these people who now say that you can't leave a bad review on Yelp under any circumstance, no matter how genuinely bad your experience was
>>7054027
Need to give cause. WHY was the food bad?
>>7054032
I wouldn't leave this out. I'd compare it to something else. Like, "the burrito has chicken in it that reminded me of frozen Tyson nuggets," or "the salsa tasted like watery ketchup."
sorry she made fun of your restaurant op

>>7054080
Yeah do not expect good service at an Asian restaurant. They don't even give good service to other Asians most of the time, especially if it's a busy place. Now, me and my girl are regulars at one place, and they do right by us, but it took us over a year of going there to get treated like you'd expect to be treated at any non-Asian joint. That's just how it is.
Bitch in the OP is from NY, so she probably ate some non-Canto food and though it was crap. The Chinese out there is way different than it is on the West Coast. Both are really fucking good but you have to understand they are different cuisines.
>>7054094
I love the way service runs at Asian restaurants, they're perfectly polite they just leave you alone. People are so used to having some poor student kissing their arse that they're shocked when they don't have someone begging them to enjoy the food. Jesus I hate being bothered when I'm eating, just put the plate down and fuck off, I'll let you know when I want the bill.
>>7054404
>>7054404
Jesus I know this feel.
There's a sushi place in my town I love and the service is exactly like this. I've even seen them go and just stand on the other side of the dining room and watching us, you know for important shit, like someone's waving for help, or a drink getting low or a plate that can be prebussed.
And their short and to the point, I hate having to pretend to talk to someone, I just want to eat. I know I got this from my dad cause he's the exact same way.
>tfw I always tip like 60% for them because I like it so much
>most of the time when I go there now they know me and just give me my soup and drinks for free lol
>>7054027
No one is saying that. There are just a lot of yelp reviews to the effect of, "the food was great and the atmosphere was wonderful! But there was a water spot on my glass. One star"
Or cunts like the one in OP's pic. "This isn't what I'm used to so it's bad!". They go in with this mindset right off the bat so no matter what they leave a bad review
>>7053980
>leaving a bad review because the spicy dish that actually comes with a warning was too spicy
>bad review because there was sunlight in their eyes
>bad review because the kitchen didn't 100% perfect their obscure substitutions and special instructions
>bad review because the restaurant doesn't cater to their special snowflake hipster diet
>bad review because the staff didn't take the time to kiss their ass and be their personal butler during rush hour dinner time

>>7054578

Thats on you. For me i look at negative reviews first for a common complaint and look for others.

>>7054404
Thats why i have my favorite pho place. They are polite and dont come by to bother unless drinks or the bill.
>>7054758
I also take yelp with a grain of salt too because its really polar on opinion
>>7054067
I just dislike my favorite places yelp being bombed because of new york and LA hipsters thinking this town of 300,000 people does not stand up to their china and korea towns.
there Is a place I go to around here which is pretty good, it has a bar in the front and in the back a dining room, and a patio.
obviously the dining room and patio close before the bar in the front does.
There was a review complaining that after being told the patio was closed, they proceeded to seat themselves out there anyway and never got any service.
review for one of the older and more popular dive bar/diner in the city.

>>7054659
yeah there's never been a time where I had any sort of problem unless there was a language barrier of some sort rarely. They come to the table, I order, they bring my food and leave, and then they give me my check and I'm out. I would say it's actually harder to give bad service unless it's rush hour and there's a whole confusing clusterfuck of shit going on in the restaurant and in those cases wherever I am I let things slide.
>>7054659
You're going to places catering to tourists and Westerners. Cordiality is not a thing in Chinese culture, the server exists for ordering and that's it.

Someone left this review on my favorite chinese restaurant's yelp and it's really triggering me. The owner replied to someone complaining that they wouldn't make a substitution on a dish and this person updated their 5 star review to a 1 star because of it
>>7055594
that's the main patron of this bar, no judgement on ordering a shot of whiskey at 6am it's great.

>>7054578
>I despise being asked if the food is good. If it wasn't I would've told you. Go away.
You, and all the commenters like you are such children. It's literally these people's jobs to be banal. They ask these questions sixty million times a day. None of you losers are new to this process. Just smile. nod and say yes. You act like you eat in total solitude every other mealtime.
Yelp is useless. Everything is either 5-star or 1-star with most of those people. The ones who whine are almost always dimwitted assholes who represent an outrageous waste of resources simply by being alive. If the world ever goes to shit, seek out the Yelp whiners first. They will be our food source in the lean times.

Ah, I agree with the family there.
That there is a law about where a minor can sit is bullshit. And if the family wanted to sit in a booth and a big one was the only one available, well, let them sit there.
If you're that particular about where patrons sit, tell your retarded wait staff to lead them to a particular table, just like every other goddamn restaurant this side of McDonalds.
The manager has a really cunty attitude there. Fuck him.

I usually work from 10 to 6 or 7.
Not all work starts at 8 or 9.
asian grocery stores get a lot of shit reviews for not being 'clean enough' or having 'good customer service' when in reality they are perfectly fine and staffed by a bunch of non english speaking chinese people. the ones that people like for being 'clean and not having strange smells' are usually the smaller, overpriced stores.

But sometimes I just go out and buy a 1 dollar loaf of bread, 1 dollar bar-s bologna, and 1 dollar american "cheese product" slices and eat as many as I can until I want to vomit. Just because it's not aesthetic doesn't mean it's not delicious.

It makes no sense not to seat them where you want them to be, and since your mostly empty anyway, what do you care if they sit at a table with a few extra seats?
>>7056865
the restaurant side is small. one large corner booth and then a long bench with little tables that you can push together to cater to your party size (very casual). it's very clear that a small party shouldn't grab the large booth in the corner, unless you're autistic.
on a side note the appeal of the bar is that it's a rough crowd, neon sign even says "we cheat tourists"
pic related: the bar side that apparently wasn't well marked as a bar. (other side is legit just a greasy spoon diner)

Oh my goodness, I used to waitress at a seat yourself place. People are fuckin retarded when it comes to seating themselves "Oh, we are a party of two, so lets sit at the 8 seater" No, it is a small restaurant and you are potentially dicking us over. Why do people always do this shit?
>>7056858
I can honestly sympathize with reviewer on this one. I find that the Chinese suck at making sushi. At least in Cali, the Japanese people there actually give a shit about quality and ingredients, but so few Japanese people exist outside of major cities.
>>7055895
The law exists because these dumbfuck families take their shitty idiot kids out and don't pay attention to them then turn around and get crazy mad when the kid somehow sneaks a drink of someone's alcohol.
Plus the dude left a bad review without even eating there. Fuck em
>>7056865
autistic?
why is it only women who use Yelp
>>7056910
Because if it's "seat yourself," then you're obviously going to take the biggest, most luxurious location.
A seat-yourself place should ONLY have four-seaters at most, that can easily be put together to accomodate a bigger party if needed.
>>7054567
no, its what you implied by not getting good service until being a regular customer for 1 yr
>>7057091
that would imply that the larger tables are more "luxurious" which is often the exact opposite case, with the larger tables having like fucking wooden skeletal chairs and flat top square tables put together with the booths being at least faux leather full back seats with rounded edged wood tables.
And the "more space" doesn't fucking mean a thing, if you need that "more space" when we're talking an 8seater attempting to be used by a 4 person party, they're either ham planets or fucking retarded if they need roughly 2 spaces per person.

>>7057091

Then he started telling a story about his friend who visited china and drank only bottled water, but he poured it over ice and still got sick because (very loudly, pointing at his glass) "THE BACTERIA IS IN THE ICE!"
The owner was taking our order and my dad didn't know what to get. The owner wanted to make a suggestion so he asked "What do you like? Chicken, pork, seafood, spicy, mild..." and my dad says "I LIKE LUBY'S". God damnit dad.

I can safely say that we will never come back here again, and will strongly encourage all of my friends and relatives to follow suit. this restaurant is an embarrassment to the entire country.
>have good experience with a business

this is why yelp isn't relevant. can anyone even take it seriously when the former is evident truth? yelp reviews are like scribbles on public toilet walls, you're supposed to ignore them, as all they're all bitter and negative releases of frustration made in the heat of the moment by uncomposed, unintelligent individuals who want to make people believe their opinions matter. also realize that people are fucking liars and want to bend the truth so that they can be seen as victims.
i'm going to start encouraging people to leave bad yelp reviews on my workplace and tell them just to make shit up so i can have a laugh at them later.

The only people worse than this are the people who take them seriously.
I don't know what to think. I think it's shit service but I'd like to have your opinion.
The waiters were good and nice, but there was a girl that acted as a head waiter.
Basically, we came in early in the restaurant I have booked (10 minutes before opening), with clients and a business partner. That's because our clients were very tired. She let us in under one condition, we cannot order anything. Granted, we can still wait for about 10 minutes, and my clients seemed to agree with that when I told them. The clients don't speak English. What happened was, suddenly, one of the clients left the table, and asked tap water on her own, like, not even 5 minutes before 12pm.
The client came back with the girl and she basically yelled at me.
>MR. ANON, I TOLD YOU NOT TO ORDER ANYTHING.
>What?
>WELL TELL THEM NOT TO ORDER ANYTHING, I DON'T CARE. I WAS VERY NICE TO ALLOW YOU IN BEFORE 12PM.
My client was embarrassed and told me that she simply wanted tap water.
>Well, my bad, but it's just some mere tap wa-
>MR. ANON, OUR COOKING TEAM DOES NOT WORK BEFORE 12PM, DO NOT BOTHER THEM.
What the fuck, it's just tap water, right? Surely, they don't need any cook or chef for that, right?
Also, it's a semi-upscale restaurant in a gentrified area serving burgers and roasted chicken, if you want to have an idea. Yeah, I hate that kind of place but they wanted to invest in that area so can't help it.
I think she really acted like shit, and I always eat outside, on a daily basis, in all sorts of restaurants.

You're the one who said you weren't treated right. Don't get mad at him get mad at your dumbass descriptions.
People have a wide variety of expectations. Some don't really give a fuck about the food as long as the place is cute and the service properly deferential. They're paying to be pampered as much as for a meal. Others are happy to eat in a dive with indifferent service as long as the food is great. That difference alone could account for the same place getting both one and five star reviews.
I don't really see much value on the surface level of any yelp reviews. The only way they seem useful to me is letting me know the kind of people who eat at a particular place - what they value and what they expect to spend for it. I'm a dude willing to sacrifice some of the finer points of service and decor if it means I get something particularly delicious for a reasonable price. When I see a review calling the place "cute" and raving about brunch I know that shit probably isn't for me. When I see one dollar sign and read something like, "My family is from Pakistan, and the food here reminds me of my mother's cooking," I may have to consider the place.
>>7055334

How do you justify the price of that burger, may I ask? I mean are the ingredients expensive or is it laborious to make, or what?
>>7059225
Most expensive burger I ever had was $15. It was at a local, reputable farm to table place, it was "kobe" beef with truffles, some kind of onions, and some kind of cheese. I don't remember the specifics, however, whether or not it was "real" kobe beef and whether or not truffles are a trend and overpriced, it was the best goddamn burger I ever had. I can't help but think about how amazing it was whenever I have a burger.
I should go order it again.

If you go to Dan's Chinese Restaurant you get american style service because everyone is white. You also get "chinese food"
If you go to asiana bistro you get good service because the waitress is white, but the kitchen staff is azn.
>>7058435
>eat in a dive with indifferent service
For me, the longer the waiter/waitress takes to get to my table once I'm seated usually sets the pace for their service the rest of the meal. Sometimes it's not their fault, but you can tell that by how good the service is once the numb skulled host tells them or they figure it out. If I'm sitting down and I'm expected to tip, I expect them to earn that tip. Don't kiss my ass, but be polite and attentive. That's all I expect out of any diner or run of the mill sit down restaurant staff.
Also- I'll avoid a restaurant with even the best service if they don't keep the place clean. I'll deal with subpar service if they place is squeaky clean and the food is great every day of the week.

Agreed, a dirty dining room is usually a sign of a bad restaurant. If you ever see little fruit flies, that's also a bad sign. Houseflies are kind of a gray area, they can sneak in through the door to someplace. A restaurant can also be old and worn, but still be kept very clean.

Pretty sure he's a jokester. The bulk of his reviews seem really tryhard.
I mean, what part of the whole deal with his son sounds serious?
>>7059225
The meat is that fancy certified grass fed angus (8oz) from a ranch near the restaurant, buns are baked locally, add any toppings like bacon and cheese and shrooms for no extra cost, giant mountain of fries. Yeah I'm shilling but I'm pretty proud of the place I work at. Definitely worth every penny.
It may also be expensive because it's right in the middle of a tourist town
>>7055895
Of course you would Syn, your the kind of faggot who names their knives and butchers a fish when trying to filet it. No one expects any better from people like you.
>>7056865
It makes no sense that a party of 2-3 would sit at a table that is for 6-8. Even if it says seat yourself there is a reasonable expectation that you aren't a complete fucking idiot and understand that this is a business and seats are money and that you should only take up the amount of space that you need.
>Since you are mostly empty anyway.
Its clear you have never worked in a restaurant, it can go from dead to slammed in a matter of minutes and you never know when a large party may come in because more often than not they don't call ahead.

Get fucked. You sound like the loser who wrote the review.
>>7057986
I do the opposite. I have a Yelp page full of times when I liked the food well enough to write a description of it. If it was bad, I just instantly forget it.
It's not just people like in OPs post that trigger me, it's any person who's rude or gives unwarranted criticism in restaurants.
I spent last week with my mother in law and her sister, and every fucking restaurant we went to, she was overly picky and outright rude to the waitstaff, which is total unacceptable, unless the waitstaff was rude as well (which they never were, since we took them to nice restaurants). By the fifth time it happened, I finally had had enough and gently tried to suggest they were overreacting, and then they were passive aggressive with me for the rest of the week. I fucking hate those cunts.
>>7059993
This is what I do.
I only write reviews for places I really liked, or who went over and above to give me great service and/or food. That's the only way to make it a win/win situation. Negative reviews aren't worth my time, and even negative reviews give bad restaurants more publicity than I care to give them.
>>7059558
>be polite and attentive
>Also- I'll avoid a restaurant with even the best service if they don't keep the place clean.
That works fine for diners, pubs and European style restaurants. It falls apart for other types of restaurants. I know when I go out for Cantonese in Chinatown the place will be dingy and the service indifferent, but the food is likely to be amazing, because they are running on a different set of standards. They're not as scrupulous about cleanliness because they don't serve raw food, and everything comes out of a 475 degree wok. The staff speaks little English, so they're trying to minimize interaction with you. Pretty much all they care about is getting something delicious in front of you as quickly as possible so you can eat it, pay and leave.
Knowing this I would not hold a Cantonese joint to the same standards I would hold a bistro (or even a diner). Different worlds.
Line cook here.

Oh man, I thought it was a qt and felt bad for a bit there, but that changes everything.
Good job anon.
You want to know whats worse? Armchair activists who use this shit.
A few years back a really old BBQ joint in my hometown made the front page of reddit for having a "racist" poster
It was a poster that had been hanging there since the 70's,he hung it during the Iranian hostage situation and it said "Lets play cowboys and Iranians"
It was just a little piece of history, the owner meant no malice, but of course once reddit faggots heard about it they flooded his yelp page with thousands of fake reviews.
Yelp has removed most of them but a few still stand, notice how most of the reviews come from people who don't even live in fucking Texas.
Their shitty plan backfired because it gave him tons of attention and ended up being great for business, he never removed the poster but died a few years back, RIP Mr Nonmacher.
I hate liberals.

It must have been real bad. Because Chinese food in NY is fucking shit.
>>7061726
Don't tell them that, they wholeheartedly believe they've got the best Chinese food in the world, just like how every kind of fucking restaurant NOT in New York is trash.
New Yorkers are literally some of the worst humans on earth.
>>7061726
>>7061728
Chinese New Yorker who's been eating at Chinese restaurants all over Flushing since I was a FOB seven year old. You two have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.
>>7061620
That actually pisses me off.
Those people know nothing about the situation, and simply read a, no doubt extremely biased and embellished post on Reddit. And they think they can attempt to ruin a person's business and life because of it. They're not even in the same state and have never even seen the place. It should be possible to take these people to court.
I've noticed that we've lately seen a lot of causes backed by people who are incredibly uninformed on, and 9 times out of 10 unaffected by, the subject.
Targeting people, who are in many cases victims themselves, whose only crimes are not bending over backwards to appease the ignorant.
And of course, presenting these people with facts causes a backlash of threats, defamation, leaked personal information, and general hate-speech in the name of "justice".
Fuck these people.

>implying you know anything about Chinese food
I don't even care what the original discussion was, your post just triggered me.
Just because you're related to someone who at one point lived in China, does not make you an expert on the subject. Especially if your only experience with Chinese cuisine is a collection of restaurants in FUCKING MICHIGAN.
Why would you even think you're able to have an opinion on actual Chinese food?
>u-uh I'm biologically Chinese!
Fuck you.
>>7061792
arguably since he moved to michigan as a 7yo it's implied that his parents cooked proper chinese. but on the other hand i know plenty of FOB asians who, in effort to assimilate, raised their kids on kraft dinner.

This, only service I care about is if they get my order wrong or take unreasonably long (45+ minutes). Otherwise only care about the food.
One of my favorite places to eat was obviously decorated by the crazy old chef, it's like the interior decoration version of a 1995 myspace page but the food is amazing and no one bothers you while you eat.
Hate to see places like that get bad reviews, which is why I stay off of Yelp.
>>7054404
Goddamn this. Nothing worse than trying to enjoy a meal alone and some faggot talking my ear off like we're buddies
>>7059572
Dumb review, but I think I've been to this place, and it is, indeed, shit. As someone who does not practice yoga, I think it deserves the one star.
Also, not the only time I've heard of an Indian place not taking a coupon (in my case it was from groupon). I do not understand why people try to pull this shit. It can only end in the reverse of the goal of giving out coupons to get people to come try your place when they otherwise wouldn't and maybe get some good word of mouth going.

Why would anyone admit to that? Do they actually say that they are yelpers at restaurants? I would imagine they eat a lot of spit, cum, etc for admitting they're with Yelp.

Theres a really shitty pub in Vancouver on the west side of town called Darbys and I once went there high as fuck on heroin and ordered a poutine and it was so salty it was inedible and I left a bad review on there the next day and they got it removed.

jesus fuck. And New Yorkers wonder why the rest of the country hates them. Californian's are nearly as bad, but not quite.
I wish I had the picture of the sign from the mexican restaurant (in Texas i think) that said they were sick of Californian's coming in and telling them it wasn't authentic...when the owner and cook was born and raised in Mexico and was actually cooking authentic Mexican.
