got treated like trash

by deezy215

Hadn't been back to Lee How Fook in a while and I wanted to introduce my partner to the place. I have fond memories of it from several years ago. The food was not bad and the had fixed it up inside. The problem was we got treated like trash. For the life of us we could not figure out why (although of course there's practically never a justification). We came in and got seated. Two other tables got seated at the same time. Each of the two other tables immediately got water and tea. We sat there and sat there. Someone came to take our order. They left. We had to flag them back down to ask for water and tea. When it came back, I asked for a Sprite. A can was then dumped on the table. We sat for another few minutes before we could again flag our server to ask for a glass with ice and a straw. And it's not like he was the only server. There were three servers in a place that is not much bigger than your living room. Our food was served. No rice. Everything time we asked for something that should have been given to us, the server's manner was extremely brusque. No apologies, even though we continued to be extremely polite. It seemed like the only people who got treated well were the ones who brought alcohol into the place, which makes no sense b/c it's BYOB so they're not even buying it from the restuarant!! I have absolutely no interest in going back to a place like that if they don't want my business for some unknown reason. Shaio Lan Kung is much better anyway.

Overrated and dirty

by kittenpea

I am completely mystified by all the great reviews of this restaurant. I took a small group there for what I thought would be a great authentic chinese meal.

I had my doubts as soon as we walked in the door. It looked dirty and no one was in there. The food was nothing special and when I went into the bathroom to wash my hands a r oach, yes a r oach, fell on my head!

Never ever ever again!!!

• Pros: Can't think of any
• Cons: R oaches, Mediocre Food

Overrated

Disappointed, had the duck over rice. Very mediocre. Rather greasy. Bland. Flavor lacked complexity. Questionable authenticity. Will try again to be fair, perhaps Singapore noodles and dumplings are a better choice

• Pros: Good service, quickly seated, promptly served
• Cons: Mediocre food, overrated
