The congee is not hot enough! The lady is not very nice. There's only 1 table of us at 4:30pm. I will never go again!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I don't think any people working there is Taiwanese. There's nothing about typical Taiwanese 清粥 in this place!
ReplyDeleteI went there today for the first time today (15 Sep 2011) and I found the food to be very tasty. I was impressed. The lady behind the counter (seemed like the manageress) was friendly and with big smiles all the time. When she heard that we spoke Cantonese, she tried her best to speak Cantonese to us. As a courtesy back to her, we spoke Mandarin. Found out that she was Shanghainese. At least seemed to be much better than the earlier reader had commented. Maybe that grouch was replaced.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the feedback! Man I just realized this post about Yu's Garden was published so many years ago!
I've been back to Yu's Garden several times and also found their service got better and better. The manager-like lady was very nice to me too!
