"was also already garden they look at some paints. eating is always good, but the woman who owns it always seems to have an employment. yesterday there for the fish roast. when people ask for a refill of fishing, they always rolled their eyes. When the bill came, we asked her to tell us how much each was and she had a posture with us again, but she did. when we added the prizes she showed up and gave me $4 and told you a gift. at this time I just added the bill and it was right so I apologized to her and returned her the $4. she said no, you think it's necessary. I said I'm sorry it was my fault. She made the confession that I need more than her. I said what this is an insult, then she said if the prices are too high, I can't afford to eat here. it is sad if the owner has to try to play people, just to ask. I love eating here, but I would rather go somewhere if the owners realize that the place is kept open by the customers. I have seen without you know that they add a fee for using credit cards. I wish I didn't tap on the $15 as I need the money!"

"This is my favorite Chinese take out, maybe ever!!! I've been eating here for YEARS at their buffet and everything is always delicious. After COVID, we started ordering take out and now we can't get enough! Won't go anywhere else. The food is always so hot still and so fresh. The gentleman (the owner? is always SO kind, great customer service. We love Min Du!"

"We ordered a pizza to go it had a NIce crispy crust with plenty of cheese but I really did not care for the sauce otherwise it was good. Nice packaging to keep your pizza hot. I would definitely come back to try something else. They have a bar inside dining too...industrial interior."

"Food was great. I had a reservation for 10 people at 7:30pm on Saturday. We where about 8-10 minutes late to the reservation due to unexpected lack of parking in the area. Waitress seemed irritated with us from the start after I apologized to her for being late. Did not ask what our reservation was for but it was my birthday and I had people from out of town visiting me and was so excited about the night. Typically when you have a big group of people and can sense excitement, waitstaff will match your energy and celebrate with you, unfortunately I did not get that experience. She was somewhat friendly but after asking her how we could split the check she acted like my questions really bothered her. We spent $771 and tipped the 20% that was automatically charged to us I would have tipped more if service was better but I genuinely felt guilty for being there, which wasn’t a good feeling. Multiple people in my group made comments about how they feel like we where inconveniencing our waitress just by being there.I 100% understand maybe she was just having a stressful night but I’ve been in the service industry a long time and I would be excited for a big table spending hundreds of dollars and tipping roughly $160.I have been to this restaurant once before and came back specifically for the food. I am posting this to hopefully remind staff that customers are spending a lot of money and even if someone is younger or has a big group doesn’t make us an inconvenience (some people in my group thought maybe they wrote us off because we are in our 20s? Not sure but could have been a factor). None the less we are paying customers.I am not planning on again coming to this restaurant with how many options we have in this area because even with great food, the service did not justify the price. I will add a new review to the restaurant if they respond in anyway to me about this complaint*disclaimer I typically never post anything like this but I really felt the need to explain this situation"

"Today is TGI Friday, so we decided to enjoy a nice meal at a reasonable price. The staff was attentive and the manager even stayed during our meal. We encountered two small issues, but both were resolved to my satisfaction. The hostess was unaware of my OpenTable reservation, but since the program was new, I chalked it up to a training issue. The other problem was that I do not like paprika at all. The menu did not mention it, but my pretzel chicken sandwich came with a significant amount of it. I spoke to the manager, who agreed that it shouldn't have been there but couldn't control the menu. He offered to replace my dish, but I had already removed the paprika and enjoyed my sandwich. While I realize most people wouldn't be bothered by this, it did slightly detract from an otherwise pleasant dining experience."
