Conflicted about this review. Love the original Joss; want Joss Bites to be successful. I was walking home and thought it was the perfect time to check it out for the first time -- a peking duck slider to end the night, perfect. I never factor service into a review of the quality of my food, never. Scowl, call me names, I'm all for it if the food is on point. But the only person in the restaurant was a 13(if that?) year old girl at the counter. Not a problem by me, some of my favorite restaurants have family friends helping out. Then she tried to charge me 19.75 for a peking duck slider. I thought it was 11? I showed her the menu, and she goes "that must be wrong, it's 19.75." I don't care if you want to help a family friend, but the only person manning the restaurant on a Saturday night is a literal child? and why is that child depriving me of a delicious peking duck slider by trying to charge me damn near 2x the price listed on the menu? And why are they messing with your could-be-successful-but-might-close-in-a-month-if-a-child-is-the-manger restaurant? Barrio taco joints have 12 year olds at the cash register too, and I'm all for it, but they have someone supervising them at least. That's why I didn't want to write this, I don't want you guys to get in trouble for child labor laws because I genuinely don't care about that, all I want is a tasty peking duck slider, but damn, you have a 7th grader as a manager, and they don't even know the prices. What? 4 Stars because I don't want this to hurt you guys and even though I didn't get to taste the food I know that kitchen behind the 13 year old is one of the best in a ten mile radius. Seriously, you're messing up a sure thing.
