A Chinese restaurant would not normally be a place where I would eat. I did that in the 1970’s. However, I was taken here by somebody who likes Chinese food.

i got a spammy email today that had this buried at the bottom of it:

I came here with with my boyfriend and 4 friends last month for my birthday and i must say, it was one of the best meals i have ever had!

The place was bumpin when we got there, full to the door on a Sunday evening, which for me is not a bad thing, but a great sign and made my group that much more excited. The staff was great throughout the whole experience. They were very accommodating on the phone when adjusting our reservation and polite during the wait when we arrived. Our server was very knowledgeable and attentive. Knowing it was a bday, she was thoughtful enough to leave the drink menu on the table ;), she informed us of all the specials (of which there are many given that everything is so fresh!) and our friend chose to start with chicharrons. It arrived promptly at the table, piping hot from the fryer and still crackling with a side of Parmesan foam. The highlight would have to be the cheese foam, because none of my party had tried anything like it and it was very exciting to our taste buds. We were all very happy with our entrees, I had the cod on chorizo lentils, and it blew my mind.69e17e3fb3305bd21c3277eca43eca2a

My bf lost his phone in the park on the weekend and (thankfully) it ended up dropped off at the local copshop. I was looking up their phone number online and I came across... a Yelp review for the police station.

TBH it was pretty funny.
For someone who considers herself such an upstanding citizen, I've made a few trips here over the years. If it wasn't being hit by cars on Royal Parade it was reporting my neighbour for playing ear-grinding techno at all hours, but the best one was this:

I used to live with this crazy Landmark lesbian, whose new insane girlfriend moved into our house, with all her furniture, two weeks after they got together. She'd stomp in at midnight and stomp out again at 6am, would loudly counsel other people how to live their lives (part of their cult, as it turned out) and in short was one of the most ghastly people I've ever met. She went even more nuts when I asked her to leave and accused me of wanting to kill her cat (which I had been looking after cause of aforementioned weird hours) and reckoned she reported me to the cops. What the?!

The Brunswick coppers were good about that too - they assured me it was all hot air, and kindly explained the legalities if I changed the locks and threw her out (she left of her own free will, thank god). Such wondrous memories!

It's open 24 hours, and they're very burly, straightforward and The Bill-like in their manner, as coppers should be.

My former SO got his bum waxed here.

(If we meet at a Yelp + 1 event don't tell him you read this review!)

He has an Amazon rainforest growing around and out of his ass. I say that lovingly. He's not the only guy who requires a lawnmower to groom that area. I'm looking at you, dear male reader or girlfriend of such.

I made an appointment for Saturday afternoon. It was easy breezy. Our esthetician was Rosie. If you prefer a male esthetician, they have one available too.

Everyone's super nice at WMS. Rosie was really great at making my SO feel comfortable and relaxed. It was his first time getting waxed. She applied a numbing solution first. We talked about how 40 Year Old Virgin wax scene makes waxing seem worse than it really is. (I've been waxed before and it really doesn't hurt that much!)

Rosie was quick, efficient, and thorough. She was also really sweet and charming. My SO was amazed by the results. There was some discomfort, but that's normal. He was really happy by his "bald ass" (that's what he calls it). He was prancing and skipping around like a pony.

When he was done, he got a beer. Yup, he was very happy.

The cost was VERY reasonable and the results last for weeks. I highly recommend Wax Man Spa for your waxing needs, whether you're guy or gal. Julio, the owner, is a sweetheart too!

I'm just happy that I don't have to see a hairy gorilla butt every day.

I'm sure this is confirmation bias or something but it seems like whenever business owners decide to GET REAL with Yelpers or whatever, it's usually women they decide to publicly shame, cf first comment on that article.

there's an other-stories link there to a sad man being shamed

~~parity~~

Okay good. I support parity in public shaming.

LOL, no.

I have some compassion for these ladies tho because in a sense they have merely gotten swept up into the current foodie frenzy, the very frenzy that allows this guy's place to exist and make so much money and enjoy such a high profile. Such behavior is inevitable in a world where eating certain things and or at certain places are hailed as peak life experiences or even just key daily or weekly experiences that must be reported to their peers in order to seem legit depending on the standards of the community they hang out in....

'being an asshole is inevitable in a world where people like eating foods'

lol i have been to that restaurant and a peak like experience it was not

Ok...let me start off with this, I love eating at HOT PHO to be honest it's the best place to eat pho,I go to this place all the time,maybe 2-3 times a week. The down fall about this place is 1 particular waiter there, he is the only guy/kid that works there. Normally it's just girls. Every time I go there and he is there,my order always always gets messed up!!! I mean every time!! I order iced coffee he brings me back a durian bubble tea...let's keep in mind he written my order down. So we was waiting for about 20 mins now and their were customers coming after us that was getting their food before us. So we went to ask what happen and he tells me he forgot to give the order to the cook OMG!!!!!I guess he didn't bother to notice that we was just sitting for about 20 mins drinking water...like we went there to hang out and drink water...I'm sorry to say but I had to give him a piece of my mind. I told him that he is very DUMB every time I come in here and you take my order you always mess up my order. Sorry to say but I just can't believe, believe how DUMB this dang guy is.. SO THE NEXT TIME I EAT THERE AND HE IS THERE THE DUMB ASS IS NOT TAKING MY ORDER YOU RETARD!!!! Oh and 1 more thing, he brings us out a plate with the veggies and asks me if I order pho lmao...YEAH DUMBO YOU TOOK MY ORDER!!!!

Listed in Pho sho!, Don't even give it a try

I won't go back. Atmosphere is sketchy. Not a great locale being next to a gas station. But, most importantly, the food wasn't good. Classic example of "dishwater" pho broth (pretty self explanatory, right? broth that tastes like dish water). Thin, lacking of depth, flavor. Just thinking about the night we were there turns my stomach a little.

it's self-explanatory, let me explain it 2 u

woah scott

"and such small portions!"

like we went there to hang out and drink water

"I know what pierogis are - dumpling aficionado that I am - but I needed a refresher from the owner"

dumpling aficionado you are not

Boy am I pissed right now. Went through the drive thru to get a chilli and a diet coke. Only to get to my destination to find out no spoon in the bag and the soda is a regular coke. I'm in my car with now nothing to drink because it was supposed to be diet and a cup of chili and no spoon. Thumbs down Wendy's. Maybe you need to retrain your employees.

Avoid this place at all costs. Ordered a pretzel bacon cheeseburger and instead got simply a pretzel bun with a burger patty on it. Totally plain. The location and look of the employees tells you everything you need to know. I would be willing to bet that not one employee has washed their hands in the last month. Needless to say I threw my "food" away.

Perversely that made me crave Wendy's for lunch.

Worse Wendys I ever have been to.

Food is not fresh. Not cooked well. Service is slow.

i like wendy's "food"

I like their disgusting "sour cream."

I regret admitting that.

This is from Tripadvisor but I needed to post this review of the Limes Cafe in Bilsthorpe (UK):

“Ham cob”

This is what I get for Googling to see if Billy Cobham had ever put out an album called "Ham on the Cob" I guess.

Polish that up a little and you'd have a beautiful quid/ag NYT piece on the decline of service in five star restaurants.

jfc people are assholes

MOST flowers are spring colors, right? Because they bloom in the fucking spring?

disclaimer: I done gone eaten myself some fancy dinners so I gots to hold Sorellina to a higher standard! Therefore I'm going to be way harsh and deal some tough love this-a-way!

About 4 minutes go by (this is actually a LONG time when you are waiting for a hot meal) and I quietly said to my mom "Where is my entree?"

i've got a feeling jaime m. has never said anything quietly to anyone in her entire life
