    Came here to celebrate a big birthday and went with the banquet course for 10 people. While the food keg coming, I will say they served some unfamiliar foods. To start there was a shrimp ball and fruit salad which I was unfamiliar with but tasty. The highlight of the meal had to be the whole roast piggy, the chicken soup and the sakura shrimp noodles. The piggy was crispy and they served it with buns to make the perfect little bites. The chicken soup was boiled with herbs and other goodies making for a hearty and healthy blend. The taste was slightly herbal from the ginseng but sweet from the chicken. The noodles were also full of flavor! Since we were seated in a corner we did have good service but maybe wished our teapot was filled more often. However when prompted the staff was quick and attentive. We even had fun banter with our server about dessert! The hand roast and milk their black sesame paste.

    The dinsum here were so good and there are a lot of variety! We made reservation ahead of time and we were able to get seated almost right away. We ordered variety of dimsum and they were so good! Good flavor, lots of food. There were a lot of seating and lot of people there for the dimsum. Popular spot for hanging out. Would definitiely come here again!

    I like this place. This is a place that is in 'SF' but it won't gouge your wallet. Yet it's still got that canto flavor. The staff were very friendly and fast and took away whatever empty dishes we pointed out. The pace of the food came out quite fast tho the order seemed kind of random (got the crab claws after some of the other dishes like the lobster e fun). They also spoke canto when I asked about the sugared doughnuts. The vibe is always great! It's the same restaurant after how many years and yet it's still got a good enough to hold a wedding vibe. It's both a whole in the wall and yet it's got some really nice paintings and even a real mandarin orange tree? But the food is wonderful. The duck with the skin and the buns were great! The skin were very crispy and crunchy. The soup dumplings were also good. They were still quite hot after 5 minutes. The lobster noodles were awesome!! I also liked the fried taro with stuffing. Same for the egg lava buns. Overall it was quite a lot of food and a great banquet to hang out with family and friends. Definitely an awesome pick!!

    Parking can be difficult in small parking lot. Food was excellent. Lunch dim sum if you can stand the wait to get in. Awaiting the new location in Serramonte Mall to open for easier access and easier parking. Service was excellent, took away finish entree dishes. Tea refillable with diffuser on side and pot on tea candle warmer. Ambiance was very good, but Chinese people were very loud, talk at the top of their voices. 4.5 stars out of 5 stars if you can get in. Round up to 5 stars.

    I've been eating here for decades. Dim sum and dinners have always been a treat and wouldn't mind the 2 hour wait for dim sum. Last night, we celebrated Xmas dinner and was excited to dine here. We called to preorder (2) crispy fried chicken and put a $50 deposit down. Its one of our go-to dishes here and pre-ordering is required. What disgusted me was they gave our order away to another table. Say what?! They f'd up majorly! Unforgivable! No crispy fried chicken. However, they came back again and gave us 1 order of this instead. So confusing! Even one of the waiters was shocked that we had it. I would had 1/2 forgiven them but it didnt come topped with deeped fried shrimp chips, which has always been a guilty pleasure to eat with the chicken. Service was at its worst. Cold water came thirdway through our meal. White rice came halfway through our meal. We had to remind them several times. The fish maw soup waa not cooked right the maw had this bongee bouncy texture that felt like I was chewing on rubber bits. It was so disgusting that I couldn't even finish the soup. The big kicker was they totally forgot about our long life noodles. And to add injury to more injury, they did not deduct the $50 deposit we made and had to ask about it several times. Most dishes were still good but with all these mistakes it can brought a big negative vibe into your soul... and I had to write about it.

    forced to pay 18% when they deserved less due to poor service..

    Service was terrible.... Michael was our server. we had to ask for water from the hostess. We had our cups at the edge of the table where he can clearly see it was empty and decided not to fill it up. also i had ordered rice but he forgot and didn't put it in. mind u it was just my wife and i and they still charged us 18% gratuity.... and after looking at the picture i just noticed i got charged for rice i never received. For the price- definitely not worth it.

    We had reservations here for a dinner on Sunday, walked in and were seated immediately, the place was packed as always, it's Koi Palace, everyone usually comes here for dinner. The Ambiance was as you expected, a bit noisy, a few birthdays, some family gatherings, and everything in between. The service was also a bit slower, not sure if they had some tables confused, but a few of our dishes were sitting on the table next to us for a while, might have been a bad hand off or a bit busy, but a few times that happened. I've been here a few times, and I'm not sure why, the food just didn't hit the mark as it used to. The soup was good, the honey walnut shrimp was on point, but the other items weren't as great as they were before. The meat was tender but felt a bit off; the seabass was great looking but just a smudge off flavor wise. There was an ox tail curry dish in a pumpkin bowl that I forgot to take a photo of, which was really good, but everything just felt okay.

    This was our first time back at Koi Palace for dim sum in a while. There was no wait for a Saturday afternoon. We walked in without a reservation around 1:30pm. Overall, the experience was not great. Food was not good and service was subpar, especially considering they have an 18% service charge for all parties that's not considered gratuity. The food just didn't taste good. The chives dumplings tasted super oily and the Portuguese tarts were also not warm at all when they arrived. Food also took long to come! Took about 20 minutes for our first dish to come after ordering, and at this point, the restaurant wasn't busy anymore. We ordered the fish fin & soup dumpling and that didn't come for a full hour. We asked the staff if our order was ready and they told us they were making it already and to wait. After finishing all our other plates,, we asked again and wanted to cancel our order. He assured us that the soup dumpling was almost done being prepared and to wait a little bit more. He then comes over by himself and said that the soup dumpling will take a little longer, so he'll cancel the item for us and give us the check. He comes back with the check and luckily, we looked over the itemized bill because he did not remove the item. I don't know how that got missed after he explicitly said he'd remove it, but surely, what great service ! Honestly, the service charge they have feels unjustified. I also forgot to mention that there's normally a stand with a candle inside for you to place the teapot on to keep the tea warm, but they didn't even bother lighting our teapot stand. Overall, we will miss this location of Koi Palace as it has been here for so long, but we can't say we'll miss the service or the food! Hoping the new location will improve!

    Lettuce wraps

    Visited on Sunday for late dinner at 7pm, there's no wait. We had the beef stew with giant bone, it's really nice to have hot soup in winter, the beef was tender and flavorful. Claypot fish head was another good choice, the fish meat was well cooked and very tasty. The lettuce wraps were mediocre, lacking of flavor. Service was meh, they're rushing you through the process.

    Food is good if you stick to traditional dim sum staples. Service is what you'd expect from a busy, understaffed dim sum restaurant. SERVICE - 2/5 We arrived at 1pm on a Sunday without a reservation and waited 30 min to be seated with party of 3 (not too bad). We were sat in the very corner, so it was difficult to flag down the server as they were very obviously understaffed. It was an hour from the time of order to arrival of all dishes, so I don't recommend coming if you're in a tight time crunch. That being said, the waiter was friendly. FOOD - 3.5/5 2/5 Rainbow Shanghai Soup Dumpling Platter: pretty for photos, but that's about it. just order other dumplings if you want something tasty 5/5 Har gow: shrimp was fresh and bouncy, delicious 4/5 Shu mai: juicy, flavorful, but the pink dyed roe looked unappetizing 3.5/5 Chicken feet + spare ribs: unfortunately there wasn't a lone chicken feet dish, so had to get spare ribs too. both were delicious but for $13.80 plate portion was sooo small. 3/5 Honey glazed crispy fried chicken wings: actual wings, not just flats. imo korea styled wings are tastier, these seem to have curry powder. AMBIANCE - 3/5 If sat in the main dining area, it's pretty but we were sat in the very back corner. There weren't table cloths and wooden tables were water stained. Bathroom was dirty. There's so many other great dim sum spots in the Bay Area such as H&L Peninsula. I probably won't come back unless we happened to be in the area.

    Noodles with lobster

    Our most recent BDC celebration was here Saturday. Reservation at 1:30pm for party of five. Of their several tea houses I enjoy the dim sum here and at Dragon Beaux. By the time we ordered it was 2pm. That left an hour for us to eat as they needed to set up for a dinner banquet later. Everything we ordered was fresh. As we were celebrating two birthdays we ordered the longevity noodles with lobster. It was outstanding. The other item that was great was the sesame balls with black bean paste. Hot and oozing. Parking was tight but I got a space. .

    Been coming here for a decade+ and this place still surprises me! Dropped by ~9:30 am on a Saturday for early Dim Sum. With only ~6-9 cars parked in the parking lot. Line started ~9:40am, with the place opening at 10. For a party of 2, we were seated next to the koi fish pond almost immediately after 10 am. What we got: - Braised Mahi Fish Fin Soup ~ nice thick slabs of fish fins in a thick soup. Served with a side of bean sprouts to add crunchy texture. Pretty decent. Typically, I like to eat this with some red vinegar, so I asked for some on the side! - Chicken Feet, Spareribs, and Taro ~ Trio plate! Great for sampling all three without ordering Chicken Feet and Spareribs separately! Steamed spareribs with chicken feet will always be my staple and it was great to see this served together. - Shrimp Pork and Mushroom Dumpling (shui mai) ~ a staple. Juicy and very succulent. - Suckling Pig ~ slightly disappointed. The skin was too tough for my liking, and the pork was too fatty. Given the amount of food on the table, after a piece of it, it didn't warrant going back for another piece. - Shrimp Rice Rolls with Seaweed and Rice Crisp ~ THIS WAS A SURPRISE. Crispy minced shrimp wrapped with soft steamed rice roll, this was like a Chinese donut wrapped in steamed rice roll, but a protein version! SOOO GOOD and paired well with the soy sauce! A new must-go-to dish for me! Highly Recommend! - Soft Grilled Black Sesame Filled Cakes ~ Not too sweet dessert, but the sesame crust was slightly overpowering. Essentially, a black sesame tangyuan with a sesame crust. Great for sesame lovers (white and black sesame). - Mango Crepe Rolls ~ This was very interesting. Slightly crunchy on the outside, but also chewy exterior wrapped crushed peanuts and mango. Pretty decent, in flavor, but the texture threw me off. Would recommend if you like a mochi chewy consistency. - Eel Clay Pot ~ THIS. GREEN ONIONS GALORE WITH STRIPS OF EEL! This was too good. Very fragrant with dried, aged mandarin orange peel to offset the heaviness of the dish. The extra black soy sauce mixed in wasn't too salty and added the perfect amount of color and soy flavor to complement the dish. Highlight of the table! (even other tables were staring). Highly Recommend. - Durian Pastry All in all, this was a very enjoyable experience. Service was decent as the clay pot came mixed tableside, and assistance was provided for packing the remaining to go. Occasionally, carts were going around the establishment with cold appetizers and desserts or braised options-- glad to see some dim sum cart ladies still in existence! Note: There is a mandatory 18% service fee in this establishment.

    Yi Mein - Longevity Noodles

    Koi Palace (usually Milpitas since it's closer... but we occasionally go to this location as well) is usually my go-to for dim sum. It's been YEARS since I came to the Daly City location for dinner but we wanted to take my brother here for his birthday dinner. Before we dive into the food, let's talk service & ambiance. Things started off a bit rocky... we had a 7pm reservation and ended up waiting for an additional 30 minutes to finally get seated. This was for a Saturday night but dang... no one was really communicating with us (but won't focus on that too much since they were busy). We sat down around 7:30pm and safe to say we were definitely ready to EAT. Our server was very friendly and helpful, so he made the experience a lot better. Regarding ambiance, the location is definitely a bit older now. Fairly outdated and very loud but my family had fun for the most part. (Don't expect to be able to hear someone sitting on the opposite side of the table easily haha..) Food was pretty good! We tried different dishes (lots of veggies this time around) than what we usually go for. The dishes took a while to come out and came out pretty staggered - not sure if that was intentional but it felt a bit strange. Nonetheless, the food itself was good. - Abalone with truffle shavings & snow peas: yummy! Great dish with rice - was pricey but would order again. - Black Cod stir fried with Chinese Brocoli (normally bitter melon but we made a substitution): flavor of the fish was very good but expect A LOT of bones. - Longevity Noodles (yi mein) with dried scallop and mushrooms: a must for bdays! We normally get w lobster but went more simple - Soya Chicken (half portion): we normally get the steamed chicken with ginger scallion sauce but wanted something new and WOW the sauce on this chicken was addicting. Could eat a whole bowl of rice with this haha. - Stir Fried Pork Cheek: I'm a sucker for anything with XO sauce so this was a hit! - Pea Sprouts: never misses as a veggie for the table

    Do they still make dragon beard candy in the lobby for purchase?

    No I don't see it this time. Maybe during Chinese New Year

    Menu for Dimsum ayce available?

    No. This restaurant serves top quality dim sum. Prices per plate average $8. Quality of food is better than average and therefore the prices are high.

    Are they open Christmas Day or Christmas Eve?

    Is DimSum served all day?

    Only during lunch hours. Might have a handful of items like XLB during dinner hours.

    Do they offer dim sum cart?

    No carts there, only have menus for you to check off the items you'd like to order

    Is outdoor dining offered?

    You can try Dragon beaux in San Francisco

    How can someone make reservations? It appears this feature is not available.

    Due to the limited capacity allowed, we have NOT turned on our Yelp Reservation at this moment. We will turn it on once our capacity is increased. Meanwhile, please call the store directly to make a reservation. Thank you for your support of Koi… Read more

    Do they offer sit down or outdoor dining?

    HI,Julianne, Currently we do offer indoor dining with 25% capacity.… Read more

    Is there a corkage fee for bringing your own wine? If so, how much?

    Yes

    Do you serve dim sum in dinner?

    They do not serve dim sum during dinner. The dinner and dim sum menus are completely different. Only some items that are carried over to the dinner menu like the Shanghai dumplings, roast duck, beef chow fun, etc.

    They have Dragon Beard Candy?

    They don't have it, you need to go to Chinatown, they had their own store

    Are there any vegetarian options at dim sum? Thank you!

    Yes

    The online menu says they serve "fish fin" soup. Does that mean shark fin?

    Asked another high end Chinese restaurant who similarly offers this. There is a fish from Japan that has fins that are similar to shark's fins that many restaurants now use.

    How much does the geoduck cost? Is there a minimum about we need to order?

    There isn't a minimum but usually it's by the weight of the product like most seafoods . 1-2lbs or whatever. Pricing is seasonal . I'm gonna guess $20-$30 a lb. but usually you can get 2 styles . Like sashimi, fried, soup

    Do they offer dim sum menu for dinner?

    They do not offer dim sum for dinner.

    So there dim sum on weekdays?

    Yes, 11am to 2:30pm Dim Sum

    How to make a reservation on here?

    They don't take reservation for the weekend Dim Sum, but for weekdays you can always call and make sure. If I'm not mistaken they maybe use OpenTable ( App ) for it - Good Luck ??????

    We (18 of us) came here for a family dim sum lunch without reservations at 11am on a Saturday and…read morewas lucky enough to be seated at 2 large tables. They are located in a strip mall near several different food places, bakery, and a bowling alley. This is a solid dim sum place, with no frills and reasonable prices. You order off a printed menu that's in Chinese with tiny English subtitles. You can also order off their regular menu if you want to supplement the dim sum dishes. Their food is very good, and some dishes were excellent. The service was pretty quick, and before we knew it, all our dishes were out with almost no room on the lazy Susan. The standouts for me were: + Steamed custard buns (piggy buns) - I ordered these for the kiddies, but dang they are so good. The custard filling is so velvety, it's almost like pudding. I think I detected a hint of coconut too - yum. + Beef chow fun - this had a really good wok flavor and the noodles were less wide than most. The noodles didn't clump either, and the bean sprouts were still crispy. + Roasted pork belly - the skin was so crispy and the pork was juicy. We ordered most of the basic dishes like har gaw, sui mai, noodle rolls, turnip cake, stuffed eggplant, chicken feet, etc. and they were all above average. My only complaint is if you don't read Chinese, the menu is a little hard to navigate. The English subtitles are so small that if you're looking for something, you have to scan the front and back of the menu trying to find the item. I was looking for sticky rice in lotus leaf, but found sticky rice roll and thought it was the same thing. It wasn't. The sticky rice roll was not bad, but I found the rice drier than when it's in lotus leaf. We ordered a few things by mistake because the English subtitles were not that descriptive. Overall, a great alternative to more popular places like Koi Palace. The menu may not be as creative as Koi, but you don't have to deal with the lines and you still get great food.

The dim sum menu was extensive, and they also had daily specials. Everything we ordered came out hot, fresh, and in a reasonable amount of time. One of the staff came around with a tray of baked goods immediately upon seated. We tried the BBQ Pork pastry, and it was flaky, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweet and savory--definitely recommend that one. Overall, we enjoyed almost everything we ordered. The only miss for us was one of the fried fish dishes and the green onion mantou, which was just okay. Would we come back? Absolutely. The service was efficient, the portions generous, and the food solid. Great spot if you're looking for dim sum that delivers on quality without the usual weekend chaos.

Another guest was waiting for their take-out order. One server working the front of the house. Service was minimal but efficient at the same time. She brought us everything we asked for immediately. The menu is fairly large, but we still managed to order variations of dishes not listed on the menu. Most Chinese restaurants will accommodate a guest request so long as they have the ingredients and they know how to compose the dish. How they work out the pricing may be something else. At the table immediately behind my mom, I heard the guest ordering a Hot & Sour Soup, add Won Ton. One of my favorite mash-ups! We ended up having a very nice conversation over lunch. Of course, we ordered the same soup and the price they charged was a reasonable $16.95. I've had some places try to charge me for two soups which I think is ridiculous. We also ordered a Seafood Chow Mein and a Chicken Dry Fried Chow Fun with Yau Chow Sum. All three dishes came out nice and hot. The flavors were on point very satisfying. I goofed and didn't a picture of the Chow Fun because it came out last and I was already tucking into my Chow Mein. Mom enjoyed it so we'll be back!

    Suily's Cafe is a small "hole-in-the-wall" type place that offers an extensive menu with affordable…read moreprices. My family and I had lunch here on a Saturday. There's only 8-10 tables, with one large table. I was told this place only has one waiter/ cashier. So you need to bring your patience when you eat at Suily's Cafe. I spotted something on the menu I just had to try......"Hong Tao Yee Won Ton Soup." It is rare to find this style of Won Ton Soup in a Chinese restaurant. But Suily's Cafe has a unique way to serve it. They serve the hot soup and the deep fried won ton dumplings separately. You add them as you eat, and they stay crispy. The thick soup was loaded with egg, tofu, cilantro, mushrooms, and green onion. OMG, the soup was boiling HOT! I had to gently sip it. Then gradually I added the crispy won tons. Wow, the ten dumplings loaded the bowl. These plump won tons and the thick soup made for a satisfying meal. Price: $12.00, serves 1-2 ppl. Yes, I would definitely return if I was in the area. Note: The restroom is way in the back, pass the kitchen. Meter parking on the street. There's a Walgreen's shopping plaza across the street. Located at San Pedro Rd & Reiner St, near the Colma BART Station,

    My brother told me Sullys has been around a long time. We decided to give it a try for dinner…read moretonight. This small restaurant gets busy between walk in and to go orders and the man working the floor did a great job managing it. The price points were less expensive than other Chinese restaurants and they do give a filling amount of food. That said, we ordered the beef chow fun which just had a soy sauce flavor. My brother had a chicken over rice dish but the chicken was a bit dry. We also tried the salt and pepper chicken wings. The oil tasted odd and there wasn't any visible signs of pepper. Looking for to trying more restaurants in Daly City.

    What a rip off!! We ordered crab in xo sauce and it can't be more than 2 lbs but we were charged…read more$60 for it!!!! DO NOT COME HERE FOR CRABS. Market price for crabs right now is $10/lb!!! This restaurant is charging $30/lb!!! DISCLAIMER: They offer a free drink for anyone who writes a 5 star review sooo.. watch out for dishonest reviews.

    Free drink with 5 Star Yelp review, I did not participate…read more We got here and were the only customers and there were NO employees around. We could hear them, can they not hear us?!?! We walked around looking. Another party came in after us, a party of 7 and they were even louder than us. Anyways, everyone just started making themselves at home. Took a table, got our own menus, etc. Quality/Quantity - Today we got the following: Boneless Hainanese Half Chicken - When I ordered this, I did not know it was boneless. When it arrived, I said to myself another skinny chicken, and then realized it was boneless. So for a boneless half chicken, it had a very reasonable amount of meat. I am not sure if I have EVER had an entire half chicken deboned for me?!?! I really appreciated it. And the accompanying ginger was so good; we asked for more. A little too salty for my guests, but I like salt. Clams with Black Bean Sauce - Good flavors. Decent portions, considering that it is a seafood dish. One clam still had some sand in it, but the rest was good. Chicken Chow Fun - Not on the menu, but they gladly substituted the beef for chicken for us. The chicken was very tender. Decent portions. I actually thought it had generous portions, until we finished it all. And we are light eaters. But the food here must be that good, because both my guests finished it all with NO leftovers. Atmosphere - Small local restaurant, with cool decor and even better messages! See all my pictures. Private room available. Two unisex restrooms. Both of which have positive messages; again, see pictures. Open 7 days a week from 10:30am to 9pm; closed Tuesdays. Plenty of mall parking, but it was FULL due to a busy Sunday lunch rush in the mall. Service - Good, friendly, and welcoming. Well after she finished working in the back... Price - $60 + generous tip. Reasonably priced for what we got. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2018.

    Cheung Hing Restaurant - Roast duck $34/duck.  Additional $0.50 for plum sauce. Decent taste and meaty... but not amazing like it used to be.

    Came to pick up food to bring home. Our usual order can comprise of roast duck, roast pork, BBQ…read morepork, soy sauce chicken, and/or duck feet. When ordering the BBQ pork (char siu), I always ask for a leaner portion since I prefer it without too much fat. There wasn't much of a line this time--decades ago and even pre-pandemic, there was almost always a long wait during their busier times like during lunch and dinner hours. A relative of mine used to work here over 30 years ago, and I remember how nonstop and demanding it was. It was hardly a slow or relaxed environment. They also suggested adding mochi to my order. I passed this time, but I'll give it a try on my next visit. These days, there's a lot more competition along the Noriega corridor, which may explain the change in crowds. Still, it's nice to come back for the familiar Cantonese foods I grew up with and love.

    We came on Thursday and got the roasted pork and pig tongue. My mom really liked the roasted pork,…read morethe skin was crispy and the meat was super tender. The pig tongue, however, wasn't really her thing and didn't have much flavor. We also tried the coconut mochi ($3.80 for 3). It was pretty good, with black sesame, peanuts, and sugar inside. They also have ginger pig feet and pork belly, which we might try next time. Overall, solid spot if you're here for roasted pork!

    pretty empty on a tuesday evening. looks small from the outside but opens up to a huge hall inside!…read morethe upscale feel of the tables, interior, and menus were a great first impression. the service was pretty good and tables are large. love that the menu had many pictures. was just thrown off by the absence of dim sum, as we saw much more on the doordash menu before we came in-person. honey walnut prawns (6/10): not too sweet but a bit too creamy for my liking. i appreciate the walnuts being on the side to keep the sauce from making them soggy. very crunchy and yummy stir-fries pea sprouts with whole garlic (7.5/10): cooked so perfectly and the broth is a good saltiness. the goji berries are a fun pop of sweetness and color, it pairs well with the sprouts. shiu mai (7.5/10): love how big they are and for $14?!? a steal. doesn't have a gamey/fishy aftertaste that others sometimes have. salted fish and chicken fried rice (6.5/10): like how light and simple in ingredients it is, but still so yummy and complex. our server also came over and nonchalantly served this to us with a two spoon, one hand motion it was cool. also got a complimentary dessert, 2 small puddings (1 mango, 1 coconut) and it was good! the mango was refreshing and the coconut flavor was subtle. this place is pretty good overall, i was surprised by every aspect. will definitely come back and want to try more of their dishes.

    I took my mother here last week and she is wanting to explore more chinese style restaurants in the…read moreSan Francisco area and we were here way back when for our cousin's wedding reception. All of the food was what you expected from a typical chinese dim sum restaurant and we were very pleased. The biggest takeaway is from a short interaction I had with the hostesses (the women wearing the black jackets at the front of the restaurant). When one of the waitresses accidently knocked over the soy sauce on the table and onto the my pants, she was very apologetic. I understand as we are all human and mistakes happen. The manager came by and provided us napkins/wet tissues as well as being apologetic. I was able to go to the bathroom and wash/dry off the stain in 5 minutes. It was not a big deal at all to me and I went back to our table. When the hostess came by and said she was sorry, she also mentioned to sit on the inside of the table next time. I didn't want to counter as my mother was present as well as all the other staff were very cordial. However, when you make a statement like that and to imply that I had anything to do with the sauce getting on my clothes, it just takes turns all of these apologies into a hollow statement. Even though it was a bad interaction from one individual, it left a very sour impression on myself and I would rather go to other restaurants than repeatly go here again.
