I have been an east Columbus native for over 25 years, road past this restaurant for YEARS and never visited until 01/28/2025. When I tell you by far we received the worst treatment that I have ever had in all of my life and I have had some pretty poor experiences being a black woman in some of these establishments, but this one takes the cake! First off we sat and waited and watched as they served other more preferred customers who came in well after us. They served us cold old dry hard rice that had been sitting for who knows how long, the vegetables (broccoli and carrots) that the waiter told me were included in my food were not cooked and cold as if they came out of a refrigerator, our waiter KEPT pretending not to hear us solicit her assistance. When we finally did get to tell her, she treated us as if we were lying when we offered her to touch it and confirm. They took the old rice, added soy sauce, warmed it up and gave it back to us. THE SAME OLD RICE. I paid $27 for a meal that I never even ate due to how horrible it was. The man at the bar, I loved him but everything else about this experience was a zero out of zero and if I could have rated this restaurant a negative number, I would have! If you’re like me and been seeing this restaurant for years but never ate here…DON’T! I will NEVER be returning to this restaurant which I’m sure they don’t care because their concern is their regulars. And, I don’t want to make it about race, but we were the only black customers in the restaurant at the time we entered and we were treated as if we were not even there. Love the bar, hate the food and service.
