I usually never write an bad comment on a restaurant but this had to be said. I use to be a repeat customer. I ordered take out from Shanghi at least once every two weeks. It is right around the corner from my house and the food was decent. I ordered there for months after moving into the neighborhood and either my boyfriend or I would go to pick up the food but never went in at the same time. So a few weeks ago my boyfriend and I finally had time to go in and dine in the restaurant as soon as we came in the door I could tell there was something wrong by the way the staff stared at us but did not come to sit us. We waited about 5 min to be seated and they reluctantly sat us to dine. We waited 15 min before the server came to speak to us when she only had two other tables that already had their food. We waved to us twice and she purposely ignored us both times. We knew why we were getting this treatment it was all over the servers face when she came to our table. My boyfriend is Korean and I am black. She would not look at or address me in any way during our visit. We asked for our check twice she ignored us both times. After waiting for the check for 20 min while the server cleaned the tables we finally walked up to he front and told the host what we had so he could ring us up. We were both really disturbed. Thinking it was only the server that had this disposition we spoke to the owner/ host. My boyfriend asked him ?in a calm and collected manner if we had done something to offend the waitress because she was refusing to serve us?. The owner replied ? She doesn?t work on your clock. And if we don?t like it we should not come here anymore.? I told my boyfriend this type of ignorance is not worth getting upset about and we left. I will never step in that restaurant again. I don?t understand people like that and I will not give them business either.
