poor service at 168 restaurant
Sunday, August 07, 2005
168 locates inside the 99 ranch market. It offers mainly Taiwanese dishes. If you are not a high demanding in cleanness, then this is okie to go in SD. It is more like a take out and to go type of restaurant but, certainly there are spaces for seatings. The chicken steak rice is most students’ favorite order and the contents include a marinated egg, seasonal veggies, and spicy radish/ pickled veggie which tastes a little sweet (my favorite). 168’s food is not bad, but the service is not that descent. The owners themselves are nice, but the people they hired were not. I dined in there with other friends once, and we were not able to finish our shared dishes and rice. When I asked for a to-go box, the waitress gave me a none polite glance and said in Chinese “these are not a lot of food in each dish, and you still want to make them to go!?” Without hesitation, I shrugged my shoulders, replied “yes” and thought it should be out of her business. I packed all the food and turned out I had 2/3 of the box filled. Her attitude did not let us feel comfortable.
