Got stinky and fishy yellow tail in my bowl. Called them immediately to notify them after the first bite. The people picked up the phone were rude, and The Response i got: “We have 500 customers and you are the only one complaining.”I asked if it’s needed for me to take the food back to store and let them try themselves, then he said only their manager can deal with this, and the manager is not in the store, so i will wait for two days for their manager to call me. 🙃 RESULT: No apologies, No call back, Nothing.I don’t mind to pay for a bowl of bad fishes once, but the way they deal with this situation will for sure lose them frequent returning customers like me. - Tiffany Liu
