"I went to this restaurant with my friends this weekend. I started with the Tom Kha soup which was great and perfect. I then ordered Thai fried rice and have had it at many places but it did feel like it was missing some flavor. Honestly the drinks were great and they were the highlight of almost all of our meals. The only thing that didn't sit right with me was that the waitress asked if we only tipped 10% of our bill because the services were bad. Now I work in food and if the heart of the matter was wanting to know if the service was bad, tip wouldn't have been brought up. I always tip when I go out but I have never been asked why I tipped what I did and I have never once asked my customers that. I proceeded to ask her if tip was part of her hourly pay and she said yes. So if the restaurant is doing that they should add gratuity to the bill to ensure the waiters and waitresses get a good hourly pay regardless.The restaurant was pretty much empty allowing me to catch up with friends in a very intimate way truthfully. To me It was a charm of the place that it wasn't bombarded with people.If you want to have more foot traffic have more than one waitress, have an option to add some flavor to basic dishes, don't have long wait times when the restaurant is empty and allow for card to tip with 5 and 10 percents options or automatically have gratuity added if you know tip is a essential to paying your workers."
