you're greek your opinion holds no weight around here.

:heckno: lol, like I said earlier, restaurants get charged for every credit card transaction.
Some places (many asian), figure it's not worth it if customers are still flowing,
and no one's complaining about not being able to pay with credit card.

Sure they might lose some customers, but many think they "earn" more money by not paying credit card fees. so :fuckthatshit:

How did food and health regulations come into factor now.

nobody forced you to go to chinese resturants. they don't need your support.

fuck you i didn't laugh

lol how else can these honger richmond kids' parents buy them nice cars and overpriced jeans without cheating the system. haha

you never gave business to a cash only resturant before? you missing out and over paying for asian food, unless you dont eat that kinda stuff

I wonder if the guy eats chicken noodle soup? I mean gross it would have carrots and chicken and onions and noodles all in the same water!! So nasty

If they are doing it because they don’t want the credit card fee, I get it, no problem there.

If they are doing it because they are scamming to not pay taxes (as it was suggested), then I have a problem. If a company is scamming the tax man, I can see them doing other things under the table or unregulated, such as their food handling and prep. If you are into tax evasion, what’s a little improper food storage to save a few bucks on cost and refrigeration?

I've worked in enough restaurants and have seen enough kitchens that I wouldn’t clean dishes in let alone eat food that was prepped in to stay the fuck away if a company isn’t totally on the up and up.

Just my personal opinion. I see a relationship in cutting corners in some things leading to cutting corners in others. Restaurants are not an easy way to make a buck. When you start looking for ways to save a few dollars, it’s amazing what standards are easily tossed out the window.

Again, just my opinion, stuff whatever you like it into your mouth.

Yo, pictures of your R80T kthxbye.

Meh. I went there last year, and the female manager (owner?) looked displeased and came by as if to double-check our order form when our table ordered several plates of lamb near the end of our meal. It's not like we couldn't finish it, and I don't expect to pay $25+ for a meal and only eat veggies and tofu. So in my opinion, their service is crap.

For these AYCE hot pot places, I hate it when the management feels reluctant to give you the food you order. If they don't want to serve the food that they offer on the order forms, in the quantities offered, then they shouldn't be AYCE.

I’m Really Canadian cultured, and like very western Chinese food. I can probably count on my hands how many times I have been in Richmond in the last 10 years (not counting the airport). It just doesn’t hold much interest for me, and I have never gone out of my way to eat there.

To each their own.

:lol

Don’t have any good ones. All stock, red, classic plates. Ill dig some up and post in the appropriate forum when I get the chance.

who the fuck cares.

Classic bike meet next season. Fuck this hot pot noize. :buttrock:

except i live in richmond for 13 years and i've been eating at asian resteraunts everyday for the past 3 years.

Seriously hotpot blows. And I've had good hot pot in asia (vietnamese fish style)

you are bullshit. :fuckthatshit:
restaurants take cash don't necessary mean they are scamming revenue canada.
they take cash because they would prevent credit card scams and guaranteed revenue.

closed for good?

:lol:

Personally - I go to a lot of the asian places because of the price. Hot Pot is more expensive - but most of the cafe style HK/Tawainese places - you can actually get a decent meal for under $10 for dinner. Most western places - you can hardly get something for under $15. Hell, even McDonalds will cost you $9 for one of the better burgers.

You should probably read the whole thread before getting your hot little hands all sweaty on the keyboard. I’m not really sure what "you are bullshit" means, but I will take it that you are irritated by my post.

Note just a few posts down:

"If they are doing it because they don’t want the credit card fee, I get it, no problem there."

All good? Awesome. Thanks for posting.

Greek food is even worse.

For sure. I know I pay WAY to much for my westernized Chinese food. I’m not too worried, I gotta pay to get it the way I want.

As I said, to each their own. I know I could be missing some amazing flavors, I do enjoy trying new things, but I have found I’m just not a big Asian food guy.

Edit: I cant belive I have posted this much in a thread about hot pot.

honger food is also horribly bad for you but oddly delicious.

greek resteraunts. You never had my cooking or REAL greek food.

Seriously all greek resteraunts in van should just burn to the fucking ground.

The only one that is ok is kisamos and that is because they have youvetsi which is a bit different than most greek fare.

the writer is owner and head chef of anthos the only greek michilen starred resteraunt int he USA.

dont you find it a bit hypocritical that you can say one food sucks based on a few restaurants you've tried in vancouver, then defend your own cuisine saying you have to try "real" greek food before judging?
