No thanks. If you can’t man up to pay taxes, like hell I’m going to support your bullshit restaurant.
Regardless, not my scene, but to all those who are into it, enjoy! I just didn’t get the cash only thing. |  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 
How did food and health regulations come into factor now.

I would not say this is normal for all Chinese restaurants.
All restaurant owners of different ethnic backgrounds can lie to the government when it comes to filing their tax returns. This is not a Chinese restaurant phenomenon. | lol how else can these honger richmond kids' parents buy them nice cars and overpriced jeans without cheating the system. haha

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.

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.

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.

To each their own. | 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.

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.

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.

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

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?
