The CHINA GARDEN RESTAURANT in Arlington, Va has by far the worst service in the world.
My job sometimes request that I work nights, which is fine. It's an easier shift and I chill the whole time. Nothing to complain about. Easy money. The only thing that could possibly go wrong is not being able to eat for the whole 8 hours I'm here (tragic). But lately things have been going smoothly. My coworker and I usually do Chipotle, amazing!!! ;-) But as you could imagine eating anything fast food 3 days straight will make you wanna puke at the mere thought of being subjected to eating it once again. So I opted out of Chipotle.
My brilliant friend D, and coworker suggested Red, Hot, and Blue which I thought was a great idea since I had never eaten there.
SN~ I have been wanting to eat there for the longest. I pass one every time I drive through Waldorf.
I grew excited with hunger at the thought of finally trying the infamous wings from Red, Hot, and Blue. But when D called to place the order they said that the kitchen was closed. Which I felt was bull sh!t because I called prior to us placing the meal to figure out a definite closing time and some lady told me 10pm and even got specific enough to say the kitchen closes at 9:30pm. Extremely polite young lady but clearly uninformed about their hours of operation. They closed at 9. Blown! SMDH, not a good start. So I asked to speak with a manager to see if I could reason with her, but they had already shut the fryers down.
SN~I completely understand that because, as some of you may know from one of my earlier posts, I have worked at a wing spot before.
Next option. I check my locations app to see what restaurants were in walking distance and China Garden popped up. So I called and placed the order right then so there would be no issues or so I thought. Talking to the guy, he was rude as sh!t...but rude I can deal with. Lying about pricing and effin up my order when you plan on closing the restaurant as soon as I leave, I can't! The man told me the shrimp and broccoli was 7.35 but really it was 13 something. 13 Dollars for shrimp and broccoli and a small rice, not even an egg roll or a soda. SMDH WHAT A RIP OFF!!!! But then again we aren't in the hood, we're in Rosslyn, Va. However, when I look into my bag, so eager to demolish this ever so pricy food I notice the bottom of the bag is soaked with my probably 5$(exaggeration) garlic sauce that I requested. The rice is sitting inside the plastic jar of garlic sauce. #PISSED. So I gather all of the food together and run it back up the street to the restaurant and asked for some more garlic sauce. I really wanted to tell him to keep his food and give me my coworkers money back, LOL but looking at the time, it was already 10 and all the places to eat were closed, including Chipotle. So I just asked for my money back and kept the food. Almost caught and asthma attack running to catch the restaurant before they closed. Smh, the pricing (we are in Rosslyn)... understandable , the attitude (its late and your ready to close and go home)...understandable, but the horrible service and lack of preparation of my...our food, inexcusable! Never Order Late Night Carry Out From There!!!
