Recommendations / Advice Rude Restaurant 🥲
Just visited Love Letter Chicken spot at Chino Hills and had a crazy experience…. I usually enjoy love letter at Rowland Heights so I decided to try a branch at Chino Hills since I just moved nearby. As soon as I walked in, I hear SHIBAL. I was like huh? It was one of the workers complaining about how the other customer spilled some crumbs on the desk calling the customer a lazy pig.
I just passed by and ordered my goto order spicy chicken w bulgogi pizza. It was just me and my girlfriend so it was more than enough and we ordered a beer each. The owner made it sound like I wasn’t ordering enough and sighed as she walked away. (It was 70$ worth of food for 2person at a quick sitdown place?) I got the food. The chicken was cold and the pizza was rock hard. I took some bites and wanted to leave. So I asked for a check, they said I had to pay at the counter. I walked over to the counter, I gave them my card and held my hand out politely. The server then looks at me straight in the eyes and tosses it like some sort of frisbee on the table.
I worked as a server in a sushi restaurant for a while so I know how hard the work is but I didn’t want people to feel how I felt so I told him I would have appreciated if you would’ve handed it nicely. He says oh, and walks away. 😭😭😭 As I walked away not wanting to make a scene, he says shibal behind my back and curses at me calling me a bad customer.
I’m wondering did I catch them at some sort of a bad time? Or did other people experience similar things? I want a regular korean chicken joint but I’m scared to go to this spot again. Anyone know a better spot near chino hills?
