China Cafeteria

I want to say this is the WORST experiences for my entire life for any Chinese restaurant - If you can - avoid it ABSOLUTELY. Here is what happen: We are visiting TN and want to find a Chinese restaurant in downtown. We got the address by Google search but could not find it when we drove through. So we called the number - someone picked up the phone and gave us a very vague direction with heavy accent (I can tell is it not a Chinese accent - I have been in China before and I know that, more like Vietnamese or Thai accent, not sure). We have to call them again - However - the guy picked up the phone and after we asked direction, he started to shouting: "... I told you I am very busy, ... I am very busy ...". I am very surprised that a business owner will say something like this to a potential customer. But this is not the end, the guy finally said "Fxxx" and hang up the phone. I was totally pissed off, outraged - what's wrong with you. Again, avoid this ABSOLUTELY. more
