To start off my review, the cook is undeniably racist towards Asians (and possibly to other nationalities who aren't Europeans, going with the other reviews) and this is the first time I am ever writing a negative review for any establishment, so it has certainly...left an impact on me. I would give this place zero stars if it were possible.
I made the arduous trek up the many stairs and hilly slopes to arrive at this eatery on a Sunday in January at 9pm, as it had stated that it closes at 10pm. Upon arrival, I noticed that there were two middle aged men sitting by the tables next to the window, and 3 couples in line waiting for the food. As soon as the cook saw me, she started shouting at me very loudly that the place was closed. She repeated that 3 times in total, and ended with the line "there I said it 3 times!!", as though I were deaf or couldn't understand English (not that it would have been excusable anyway). It did seem from her tone as though she couldn't bear for me to even step into the place to look at the menu, as though I were a dirty stray animal she had to chase away. All this occured as I stood by the front entrance before I had even set a single step into the store or said a word. She didn't stop shooting me dirty looks until I finally stepped away from the entrance. As this was happening, the two middle aged men laughed and looked at me as though it were a comedy. Some person in line asked her if she had a long day. I heard her say something insulting about Chinese people to the customers (who were all Caucasian), aware I could hear everything. 5 minutes after this whole fiasco, a European man arrived and stepped into the store to order food. She initially told him that they were closed (very politely might I add), but then when he mentioned travelling all the way from overseas to eat there, she relented and said he could stay and she will cook him something. By that point, I decided to leave.
TLDR,: the cook is extremely hostile towards patrons of Asian origins, and overtly racist. I think it is important to be aware of that before visiting this store, especially if you appear to be from Asia. It doesn't matter which country you come from (as we look the same to people like her), as a Southeast Asian living in Europe, I am certainly not exempted from such treatment.
Perhaps if I was travelling in a group she would have kept herself in check due to safety in numbers. To add, I would like to see how she reacts to a tour group of Chinese nationals (or another Asian equivalent) entering her store. So while I would discourage single minority travellers from visiting her store as it would be easier for her to get away with this behaviour, it would be interesting if a huge group of us were to descend upon her store. It would probably be a lot easier for her to just put up a sign stating "Asians not welcome".More
