Kids menu

>You must be fully vaccinated to dine here

The menu is incredibly large and diversified while the restaurant doesn't have many clients/is not huge with lots of employees.
Doubt thats fresh food.

>>16697279

My dad told me a the type of patrons there.
If it's a chinese restaurant and there are only chinese people, if you're not chinese, you're not going to like it.

>>16697299
there is one highly rated, widely considered genuine authentic chinese place in my city. I went there once, and I have never felt so outside my comfort zone in a restaurant in my entire life.

I nervously got the mapo tofu, which believe it or not was one of the most recognizable items on the menu. So much of that shit was out of my depth. I'm positive they made mild as fuck and removed the chilis despite my expressed request for spicy.

Idk might go again

>>16697311
I went to an authentic chinese restarant and ordered string beans. never went there again.

>>16697279
Surcharge for employee benefits.
Agree with it or not, nickel-and-diming customers instead of just incorporating it into prices is the equivalent of standing on a corner with a bullhorn shouting that Obama Care is evil.

I'll never go back.

>>16697299
Lmao. Being out of your comfort zone is good for you. Yeah it can be difficult ordering but being the only white person in the place means I know I'm gonna get interesting food.

>>16697299
what about if it's full of black people? red flag or good eatin'.

>>16697299
>>16697311
Those are the only good Chinese restaurants and more likely than not they're happy to have you there. Don't be a pussy sticking to the safe sanitized version, order something fucking weird.
And this is coming from a virulent racist

>>16697279
These lads gave the world a gift.

>>16697283
Got it in one. Children at a restaurant is always a red flag, and the types of families who take their kids to a place to buy overpriced nuggies, tendies, etc, are going to be the types of families who let their kids act like little cunts.

At least if you see a child eating an adult meal you know their parents aren't the kind of chucklefucks who let their child be a "free range" child.

>>16697299
That's retarded. My dad taught me to not be a picky eater and try new things by telling me "If it tasted like shit they wouldn't keep eating it."

>>16697386
I've been to quite a few authentic chinese restaurants and they are all, without exception, disorganized shitshows. No one seems to know what is going on, food comes out late, decor is leftover from the previous restaurant space they moved into. I agree with you though, I think they probably are glad to have the business. I think the expectation that you are going to be waited on with a smile and friendly service is a western concept. They really don't seem to give a shit.

>>16697529
I wonder what was going through their heads when the posted this. Was it self aware? Do they know the meme?

>>16697360
Havent heard such dumb leftists soy shit in a long time.

>>16697384
Food will be good, service will be terrible

>>16697558
Free range is good, so long as they show no mercy when the kid behaves like a shit in polite company.

>>16697584

>>16697311
Mapo tofu doesn't need to be spicy. My grandma and the chinese restaurants in her heavily asian city don't make it spicy. I won't try to tell you which areas in China do it but in my experience it's not a majority.

>>16697621
toronto?

>>16697632
Nah, Beijing.

>>16697642
that's what they're calling toronto these days?

>>16697687
Beijing

same as all of 'em

>>16697584
pretty sure thats where the meme comes from friendo

>>16697360
Go gas yourself you fucking faggot nigger Reddit is that way

>>16697807
What came first the picture or the meme?

>>16697621
do you just not add the sichuan pepper?

>>16697360

You visiting

>>16697384
Bad food and bad company

>>16697279
That sign based as all fuck.

>>16697279
don't have any male FOH staff

>>16697279
more than one cuisine on the menu is always a worry

If the waitress has poor control of her pelvic floor I always pull out and leave without even looking at the menu.

>>16697349
Surcharging that gets reinvested into the restaurant itself is based.
You'd be surprised at how well a 3% fee can lower the price of everything on the menu

>>16697360
You're right i don't understand the hate

Menu longer than 3 pages.
literally no need to cook that much food, and if they do then the food will be shite.

>>16697384
Depends on the context. All black in a predominately white area and the restraunt is clean and the blacks are obviously wealthy? Breddy gud. But all black in the ghetto and nothing is clean and its loud? Fuck that.

>>16698132
Lowers how the price looks, you mean. Making prices 3% higher obviously looks higher on the menu than an arbitrary 3% increase of the end total.

>>16697384
Good food with a high chance of food borne illness

>>16697558
“Free range” parenting is basically the opposite of what you’re describing. They would probably leave the kids at home and dine out. It’s helicopter parents who think their kids are the entire universe and let them become little dictators that have badly behaved kids.

>>16697584
They were thinking “holy shit heckin plant based fried chicken epiiiiiiiiic!!!!!!”
Not much more to it than that.

>>16698195
Kek, are those supposed to be Niggerman and Lovecraft?

>>16698180
nah I mean if they charge the 3% all week then sell beer and aps for dirt cheap. Trust me anon.

>>16697384
It obviously depends on what type of restaurant it is. I went to a German restaurant that had a bunch of black people and black cooks and the food was shit and the wait was long. Went to a hotdog place across the street with the same clientele and the food was great and the cute brown waitress smiled at me. It's the same deal with most restaurants, if you go to a jamacian place filled with white people, it's probably shit but if it's filled with jamacians it's probably great.

>>16697360
It means you’re gonna get cum in your food because the Chinese fucking hate you. Stop being stupid and thinking that dirt farmer food is “interesting”

>>16697621
>I won't try to tell you which areas in China do it but in my experience it's not a majority.
It's not a dish native to the majority of china, it's a dish from sichuan, and in sichuan it is spicy.

>>16697279
ran by Indians with no hair nets on their massive beards

Reddit make the best memes these days.

>Restaurant is empty on a weekend night and no major events can explain why
That ship has already capsized and nobody in there gives a fuck about giving you good food anymore. The workers are all trying to milk the place for all it's worth before moving on, and the owner is probably drinking themselves into a downward spiral.
>Restaurant is always empty or nearly empty on weekdays
Restaurants fill themselves on weekends due to all the crowds out and about in town needing somewhere to eat. If people are going weeknights, it means the place is worth going to for it's own sake, not just as a quick stop to eat something before the movies or the club or whatever.
>Menu is way too big for the amount of people that seem to frequent it
You're either getting shit that's been dressed up to hide the fact that it's stale as hell verging on beginning to rot, or you're eating a meal that was made in a factory and came portioned and frozen off the back of a Sysco truck, the same one that just dropped off only SLIGHTLY worse crap at the local school cafeteria and the prison kitchen.
>Menu indicates restaurant doesn't know what the fuck it's trying to be
When you see various styles of ramen, cassoulet, and tacos al pastor all on the same menu, it means whoever's running the place has no fucking clue what they're doing and is simply throwing shit at the wall to see what'll stick. Whatever you get claiming to be X will likely be a terrible, substitute-riddle mess of an X because doing such wildly different things correctly in a kitchen that isn't staffed by massive brigade is basically impossible. They share no product, no technique, and at least one of those things needs special equipment to do properly. Corners are absolutely going to be cut, and heavily.
>Ethnic restaurant without ever seeing someone of that ethnicity there
The most minor one. It can be a false flag due to area demographics, but often times, the food's been dumbed down to try and be inoffensive to alien palates.

>>16698375
You should go back

my family was poor, we had to eat what we got regardless if we liked it because that's wasteful. learned to stick to the easy staples that are hard to fuck up.
we ate out 3 times a year. my birthday, brothers birthday, and when moms Christmas bonus came in.

>>16698017
in the year I've worked at my place, I'm the longest lasting employee besides the head cook and our boss. I'm the only guy foh, and all 6 of the other foh were cute 17-20 year old girls who have left

>>16697279
Non segregated.

>>16697299
Nah if Chinese people like a Chinese restaurant it means the food is authentic.

>>16697849
Sichuan peppercorns are not spicy, they're numbing. Heat comes from chili oil or fermented chili bean paste (doubanjiang)

What I remember as chinese food growing up as a young kid in Hong Kong

>turtle/shark fin soup
>fried chicken feet
>pig uterus noodles
>fried rice with pork knuckle gristle
>unidentifed fish balls on a stick
>boiled dog meat
>one time, monkey brains

Americans have no idea how bad it really is. No one in china knows what the fuck beef and broccoli is or sweet and sour pork. Chinese food is disgusting. Literally the worst parts to eat of any animal. Makes sense because chinks are the race of humans closest to animals. They make disgusting noises when they eat, slurp everything, men in the streets lift their fucking wife beaters over their sweaty stomachs while laughing and chewing with their mouths full of food. Like what kind of idiot decided 2 sticks is the most practical way to eat grains of fucking rice. Starving Nigerians who eat grass have a better diet than the average chinese.

>>16697384
They'll probably let you know at the door that you aren't welcome.

>immigrant owned because poor hygiene
i am not even trying to be racist or anything, but there is a tv show filmed in my hometown where a camera team just follows two health inspectors and they show everything. the worst places are always chinese or some other immigrants.
its called "Lebenmittelpolizei" on "ATV", its in austria and obviously in german and you might need a vpn to watch it, heres a link: https://www.atv.at/tv/lebensmittelpolizei

>>16698601
Well, their meat is tasiter.

>>16698602
>the worst places are always chinese
Do HVAC repairs. Hate working at restaurants in general because of all the grease, but the Asian restaurants are the worst.

>>16697360
>Being out of your comfort zone is good for you.
Why? I don’t want to be uncomfortable. I want to be somewhere where I can relax and have a pleasant time. I don’t want to to adapt to some shitty environment or have to put up with weird shitty food. I have earned the right NOT to be adaptable. What I want is out of most things, especially those I pay for, is brevity and comfort. If I don’t like the look of the establishment, the menu, the staff, the clientele, or come across anything that I find not to my liking, why should I put up with it?
>uuuhhhhh it might be interesting
If you find bad experiences “interesting” you’re either some kind of masochist weirdo or a pleb high on copium.

if it claims to serve american food

>>16698602
I look up health inspection reports for fun sometimes, and the worst are always Asian restaurants. All restaurants get dinged for minor shit so the inspector feels like they did their job, but Asians are always the worst.

>>16697565
your dad has never tried andouillette

>>16698499
shhhhhhhhhhh dont tell im

>>16698499
Depending on where you're at, it might be all Mexicans. There's a really shitty Chinese restaurant in our town that has Chinese people in the front of house, but is all Mexicans in back. The food tastes like dog food.

>>16697299
Had to spend 10 weeks in China a few years ago. Learned just how different American Chinese food is from the real thing. While your dad does have a point, you're missing out. Two thirds of Chinese food is shit you would never think about eating, the remaining third is fucking delicious. After having it, I can't really go back to American Chinese food.

>>16697565
>If it tasted like shit they wouldn't keep eating it
your dad never had beer.

>>16697279
cops don't eat there.

if it's a mexican restaurant and they only bring out mild salsa with the chips.

they ask you if you want, or just bring out A1 or ketchup with your steak.

there is more than 1 vegan item on the menu.

they list the calories of the items on the menu and it is not required by law.

you open the menu and baby roaches fall out.

their big selling point is gigantic ridiculous portion sizes.

The servers stop working and go in to a dance routine.

there are ads for clothing and jewelry in the menu.

the menu has pizzas with chicken, bbq sauce, broccoli, or kale on it.

gigantic menus with ridiculous lists of dishes.

Indian restaurant that does not have a real tandoori in it.

>>16698834
are you 12 years old?

>>16697279
waiter/staff ignore you cause they're busy on their phone or doing their chores very slowly, also the entire restaurant is fucking empty except for you and them

There's this girl who invited me out to lunch with her family and they gave us some crayons and paper intended for her little brother. Her brother didn't want it so she ended up playing with the crayons and got really into it
Now every time I go to a restaurant with her, she laments that they didn't give us any fucking crayons to draw with while we wait for our food because we're fucking grown-ups going to a grown-up restaurant that doesn't even have any crayons and she says this as if it's a flaw and that the place would be so much better if they would distribute fucking crayons

>>16701356
How is your girlfriend doing, Apu?

>>16697299
last time i visited my dad he went on a rant where he only wants authentic food from restauants

>only chinese making chinese food
>only mexicans making mexican food
>only black/cajun making cajun food

is he based?

>>16701376
What do black people have to do with Cajun cooking?

>>16701376
Pretty based. If I go to a chinese restraunt, and it's like Hispanic chefs....well, it'll be "ok" since most hispanic chefs/cooks are decent, but it's not gonna be authentic.

>>16700892
Buck angel probably wishes she could be a woman. Holy fuck is that one goofy little freak. I've only ever seen promo shots, and the other day I saw it in a YouTube video. It's like five feet tall and has the weirdest voice ever.

>>16701390
many black people live in louisiana, the origin of cajun cooking

>>16701368
kek, not my gf but I have some suspicions that she likes me. Constantly invites me to hang out and a while back she randomly said "Hey I couldn't think of a good way to bring this up, but are you straight? You're straight right?"
According to her mother she has mysteriously developed a sudden interest in "going shopping for dresses" after hearing that I really like them.

>>16698600
It depends. Sometimes I'm interested in a flight of obscure beers and a strange overwrought burger.

>>16701407
She a cutie? Ask her out.

Any place with their own take on condiments. I've never had a "house ketchup" that was good.

>>16701395
>Hispanic chefs are good
Then why are good Mexican restaurants so hard to find?

>>16701405
Cajuns are descendents of French Canadians.

>>16701431
hispanics are good at following directions and being good workers, with a beer in hand

the problem with mexican restaurants is they dont know their own shit do be stinkin

IE they use their mama's recipe which they loved growing up, but their mama's recipe is shit

>>16701436
irrelevant to what i just said

there’s a lot of brothers that make bbq ribs and other stuff in parking lots around my city. i wanna go to the busiest one because id imagine it’s the best, but im scared of big crowds like that

>>16701376
We have this local restaurant for Japanese food specifically (not general Asian stuff) and it rates high for authenticity, but it seems many people are unaware that every single employee is Chinese. I get that few non-Asians can visually tell the difference but I thought more people could tell the difference between spoken languages.
I worked there for a while and once this really bimbo-looking lady came up to me and asked me how to say something in Japanese, and I happened to know it so I just answered her instead of revealing that nobody there spoke Japanese and she seemed so excited and proud of herself to learn it.

>>16701453
>I get that few non-Asians can visually tell the difference
vietnam/korean war vets can, the joke in king of the hill is true

>>16697279
>What are some red flags when it comes to restaurants?
A glance at the kitchen staff tells you all you need to know about a restaurant.

>>16701445
Cajun culture and cuisine came from the Acadian, and is based on Rural French cuisine and adapted to ingredients common in the South. If you're going to be racist about who prepares certain types of food, at least understand who goes with what.

>>16697584
they are thinking about retweets and upvotes. virtue signalling is their lifestyle

>>16701439
I'd argue that most of the time "the way mama used to make it" is terrible. That applies to Mexicans, French, Italians, etc. A lot of those cultures basically engage in ancestor worship, and are afraid to innovate or even use better ingredients. My wife makes better versions of Portuguese dishes than her mother, and probably her grandmother. If I suggest that out loud, you'd think I just committed heresy. It's because she's just not blindly following the ancient recipe. She understands the base flavors and technique, and is willing to innovate within that basic structure.

>>16701492
your wife is fat and ugly

>>16697279
whites in the kitchen

>>16701418
She's not ugly but not my type either. But the more pressing issue is that I strongly prefer men, take your bets whether I'm a faggot or a woman.
It is really ambiguous whether she has "I want to date" interest or just an idiosyncratic take on friendship. She has zero dating/sexual experience and I think she is troubled in ways that I'm not fully aware of since her mother tells me weird shit like "she cries all the time and doesn't have friends" I don't know if this is true since she makes references to having friends, although I've never met one. Claims ADHD.

>>16701500
The most respected and awarded chefs in the world are generally white, as well as the best restaurants

>>16701469
still irrelevant go visit Cajun country and see who is making the food.
>but muh books told me is only hwhite frenchies making my etouffee black people?! what all that about whats the real world like papa

>>16701522
kitchen whites. Tell me you've never worked in a professional kitchen without telling me you've never worked in a professional kitchen. Also stop being insecure

>we got some mexicans to clean our restrooms and cut onions, therefore the food is mexican
i see

>>16701529
You're the one who insisted that only certain people be allowed to make food. Now that you've been caught out as being racist for the wrong reasons, you're getting defensive. By your logic, chinks making Mexican food is bad, and so is blacks making Cajun food.

>>16697299
>>16697311
I went to an authentic Chinese place and ordered the pig intestines. They brought out pig stomach instead but I wasn't going to make a scene. The server realized her mistake a minute later, took it into the back, and immediately came out and put the same plate at someone else's table. I got my pork intestines after that.
I could only be more white if I was albino. You two need to broaden your palette.

>>16701553
>By your logic, chinks making Mexican food is bad, and so is blacks making Cajun food.
Nope not at all, you just are a fake intellectual and wanted to sound smart, and think rural french acadians still live in Louisiana

>>16701538
>stop being insecure
You're the one suggesting white people aren't the best cooks

>>16701492
youre right, my grandfather made an a amazing cajun beans recipe, my mom improved it(ive had both versions), and IMO i too improved it.

the only exceptions are rare, i had an aunt who cooked veal chops and red beans & rice so good, i know ill never have that dish better than what she served me

>>16701167
they had markers and drawing paper at the burger place we used to go. they would pin some of the drawings/writings on the wall. I really wanted to draw a picture of Knuckles and leave it there but all the red markers were empty, like they always are.

There is a Chinese place in my hometown that has the “standard” menu with all of the stuff we would call Chinese food, but then on the back of the menu they had a page dedicated to traditional food. I consider myself pretty open to trying new things, but I would never order off the traditional menu, it filtered me so hard

>>16702410
it literally tastes like shit

>>16698132
>indirectly raising the price of everything actually makes them cheaper

What are you even trying to get at here?

I'm quite sure that 4channel has gone too far at this point.

>kebab/shawarma place

>too much extra shit on the menu
>no migrant workers queueing during breaktime
>the cook speaks the local language too well

>>16702537
90% of shawarma places aren't safe to eat for more than one reason. Go to the one that is fucking overflowed with clients or don't go at all.

>more likely than not they're happy to have you there
Not true at all. Unless you're friends with a chinese through some other means, they'll hate your guys not just because you're white, but because they hate everyone who isn't chinese. I can tell you've never interacted with chinese people in your life. I'm telling you what I am from experience. I spend every single day around dozens of chinese people and this is what I've learned after four years of it

>>16702585
You're just fat, ugly, and smelly

>>16702575
Are you really gonna come to ck to samefag your shit attempts at irrelevant memes?

>>16702596
I'm 6'0, white, in shape, and shower every day sometimes twice. Some of said chinese have come onto me but I don't want hapa kids

>>16702615
You're fat ugly smelly and retarded. Also obviously a manlet because no one ever says they're 6 feet on the dot

>>16697311
Same. My friends insisted we go to this authentic Chinese place. All the meat was offal and the etiquette was baffling

>>16697565

>japanese place doesn't offer 1 or more of: takoyaki/edamame/miso soup

All of these have been almost 100% reliable in my experience. if any of these apply, the restaurant is likely to be either underwhelming or plain shit

>nobody would ever tell the truth online, everyone is a shit-tier genetic waste bucket crab like me

>>16698544
It's true. It makes sense, because of the cultural revolution and famine, the Chinese had to eat whatever was available. So things like pig's brain or bat soup or rat's became a "delicacy" when in reality it's NOT the choice part of the animal.

>>16702935
the thing is... where are all the chinese that eat nothing but quality steaks and filet mignon? You never see anything about those, are they exporting all their quality meat? What happens with it?

>>16702328

>>16701431
No idea what you're talking about. I live in Texas and I could name half a dozen outstanding Mexican restaurants within a 3 mile radius of my house. I'm guessing you live somewhere up north without a preponderance of Mexicans, or if you do have a lot of Mexicans, yours aren't as fresh as ours.

>>16701644
The attire you wear in a kitchen are called kitchen whites you moron anyone can wear them it just means most likely means the food is overpriced or you are in a hotel you sperg

>>16702935
The cultural revolution had nothing to do with food, retard

>>16701469
Not the anon you're arguing with, but you've obviously never been to Louisiana. There are a ton of black people who have lived there for generations. They have all grown up eating and cooking cajun food and do so just as good, if not better than many whites in the area. How are you not getting that?

>>16702215

I had this same thing happen, ordered beef noodle soup and it comes with the beef sliced on the side

instead they brought only the beef carpaccio slices and dipping sauce like a big play, I ate half cause i was hungry as fuck they guy then realized he fucked up took it and then put it at the right table and then brought me my soup

>>16697299
Maybe for Asian food because of their bat guts sauce and overcooked meat, but it's the opposite for Mexican places. The Mexican restaurants that target white people are needlessly bland with their food, which is fucking retarded because if you go to any good southern food place they're throwing the goddamn kitchen sink at you. Brown people who act like white people can't into food are a fucking scourge and the only reason they stay open is because white people have been taught to feel ashamed and self-conscious of being the only white guy in the room, so they never go off the beaten path.

>>16703233
Where do you live? The nearest Mexican restaurant to me will give you a fucking feast no matter what you order, if it wasn't so fattening i could live off it.

>>16703219
I was driving into my campsite and some guy with Oakley's was in the way, he sees me and moves over so I wave as is common courtesy. Instead of waving back like normal he gives me the OK sign and thats when I noticed the confederate flag on his truck lol. I was in bumfuck Washington

>>16703277
truly anyone north of the Mason-Dixon Line is fucking retarded

>>16703197
It wasn't intended to have anything to do with food, but alas, reality is not always what we want it to be. As we all know, the cultural revolution not only caused a revolution of economic culture, but also of deep innate human culture, to the point that the natural instinct to share food with one another was destroyed and replaced with a desire to share food with bureaucrats

>>16697360

If there is cereal, or other no -cuisine anywhere on the menu.

Went to Portland for work and went to an Indian restaurant.

Every single person (you could peek into kitchen via slot in the wall) was white AND mega-woke hipster.

It came as absolutely no surprise that the food was exactly like them completely non-offensive but ultimately utterly flavorless.

>>16698532
Or cheap

Or both

Usually diner/pancake house places with large laminated menus that are several pages, they sell ad space to local businesses on their menus.
A few are okay, but other anon is correct that most will suck.

You poor dumb American the only culture you have comes from a yogurt cup. Americans are to actual white people what a pug is to a wolf. Get a passport and come visit your motherland and cope knowing you have no home here or anywhere, your roots are shriveled, and your identity is a plastic wrapped single serving of what once was.

Restaurants in or around places with a lot of tourists.
Also, restaurants with waterside tables and restaurants where it's not clear if they are open.

>>16703142
Those are the ones who can afford to move to the West.

They're disliked among the Chinese diaspora because those ones do shit like order a lobster banquet by themselves, eat 2 bites, pay and leave. They don't even want the left overs to go. It's a flex about how much money and power they have compared to the Old World.

This is true, but everyone involved in the restaurant "industry" has tattoos, that and tipping were my greatest motivators to aggressively avoid restaurants and cook all the time.
