Lotus of Siam always has forks on their table and you have to ask for chopsticks. No one complains about that, but I do understand your point. btw, I would love to see someone eat a burger with chopsticks, that should be a competition ! I do however tend to agree with some of the above comments. in fact, I’ve been in one of the really authentic Chinese restaurants on Spring Mountain and waited 30 min for my table to be approached while multiple new Chinese tables were greeted prior as I watched. Forget, asking for a menu translation on those specials posted on the wall in Chinese too. I get the blank stare when I ask. Just the other day at Yunnan garden I watched an Indian family get served nothing what they ordered and suffered n silence as I chuckled under my breath. I think the only translatable word was Chicken and they received a manifestation of it, just not what they ordered.

I AM SO SICK OF THESE CHINKS BEING SO RACIST. They get mad at roundeyes for liking their food and trying to give them our money. Also they automatically give me a fork. Imagine the outrage if every asian who came into a burger restaurant were given chopsticks as soon as they walked in..

Art Swanson, yes the food and service is more than subpar, but no need to make fun of a Chinese Accent and use poor taste in jokes with “ping pang long gone.” Not funny.

The dismissive attitude by the staff only reinforced their own stereotype. You didn’t enjoy yourself, told others, and won’t go back. In their minds, you’re the one who didn’t get them. It too common in Chinatown districts when they try to hold your hand so much that you couldn’t relax and enjoy the best preparation. To serve blatantly dumbed down food because of what you look like is racism at its height.

Isn’t it awesome how there is a language barrier in our home country. I eat at Yunnan garden regularly and after dozens of times trying to ask what the specials are on the wall and being stared at blankly, I gave up. Generally, I walk through the dining rom and if I see something I want to try, I bring the waitress and point at it on the other table.

Unfortunatley, I’ve encountered similar issues at Yunnan Garden. Not with the spice factor but with the language barrier. I really like the food but after twice ordering take out (I always order by number and name of dish) and having the order botched, my wife has forbidden us from ordering there again.

If this wasn’t literally right next door to Yunnan Garden, it’d be a real bummer. Yunnan was packed last night, and despite being the only table of gwailos in the joint, I assure you, we got the full chili treatment. Granted, I’ve been at least a few dozen times, and it seems like they almost recognize me. While service will never be what anyone would describe as “inviting”, at least they stopped chucking a handful of forks at me.

I enjoyed Dong Ting Spring when we went there. Too bad it’s just a spicy memory today.
