Came at 13.15 today, and did not like the guys attitude at all. Unfriendly and the most annoying part is how he served the Chinese man nicer and with a smile. Totally ridiculous service . Better please yew Kee . Tone was so bloody rude, no hi, bye, or even a thank you Z
Suhaimi
Very bad service. When ordering my food, the two staff was busy doing stuff so I called out to them to let them know I was ready to order but they ignored me. After calling out to the multiple times, the male staff look at me impatiently …

7 mar 2026, 11am. Only 1 staff was available. Physical queue was long yet store still taking in online orders and those online orders are jumping the physical queue. If you are short handed, do stop taking the online orders. Your customers are in the physical queue waiting for more than 30min to get their orders taken.
Qadir
The taste of the food was okay, the portion is pathetic. The service is atrocious. The bald guy chopping the duck talk like we kill his family or owe him money. The other two aunty gossip about customers. What kind of nonsense service is this?
