Add 10% to use credit card.nI arrived around 10 p.m. and, knowing what I wanted to order, I informed the waiter immediately. After a while, he returned and informed me that the item I desired was unavailable. He then provided me with the menu so I could reconsider my order. Unfortunately, I couldn’t flag him down to come to me when I was ready to order. The wait staff were seated at the large table, seemingly engaged in their own activities and ignoring me until a few new customers arrived. The waiter then came to attend to them. I requested the waiter to take my order, but he went to the kitchen and returned with the same news that the item I wanted was not available. However, he then informed me that the items I had initially requested were now available. This confusion left me perplexed.nnI approached the counter to speak with a potential owner or manager in Chinese. He explained that there had been a miscommunication. The item I had wanted was indeed available, but the wait time had exceeded 40 or 50 minutes. Considering the relatively low number of customers in the restaurant, with the large tables being empty, I found this wait time unacceptable. I know about upstairs too. I couldn’t wait another hour for my food, so I decided to leave.nnDoes this sound familiar based on other reviews?nnThe food is indeed quite good, as mentioned in other reviews.nnI am proficient enough in Spanish to give my order in Spanish. However, he attempted to respond in limited English, which was significantly worse than my Spanish.

The cod soup costs over 30,000 yuan. I don't know if the cod is 50g. It's all tofu cubes the size of a little fingernail. There are almost no cod meat. The price is not cheap, the decoration is good, the hygiene is good, there is only a parking lot nearby, the taste of ordinary home cooking, I will only come once, and I won't come next time.
