I was so excited to see Xi’an Famous Foods available in Philly, after loving them from NYC! I did get my order, and it was delicious (thanks XFF!!), but the experience at Fair Foods Co. was confusing and frustrating.
So, they have an AMZING selection! But when I got there, there was no one behind the counter. Just touch pads and kiosks that didn’t seem compatible with the DoorDash order I’d made; they only worked with Fair Foods orders? I waited and waited… a long time as other confused customers gathered; finally a human came out but they ignored us completely and just fed food bags into the automated locker system there. A bit later, more humans finally showed up to actually help the line of us waiting. The staff weren’t really friendly at all, but they did get us our food quickly and correctly, so that’s good. I’m bummed, because it’s a cool concept with GREAT selection, but they really need to post a permanent staff member to greet people and help them, so we aren’t lost and confused. Seems a lot of restaurants are counting on them to do better!! Again, great concept, and I got my great food (a bit cold after so much waiting) but they need more humans finally showed touch and help! Really hoping they get it, I’d love to see this succeed!
