I have to chuckle a bit. Five Star Yiros + Spud is the most exaggerated name of all business names - I mean, what makes a Yiros "Five stars", really? What a joke. I must say though, your Yiros is really delicious and packed with all the garlic sauce and chicken and vegies that anyone could ever need, yet you claim you're five stars...Good, but not worthy of 5 stars, sorry. From a small age my parents wanted me to be the most perfect son. To always improve yourself. So much so, even to the extreme point of being the best.
I have been called crazy by my brothers and best friends for my behaviour, high standards, and perfectionist thinking, but in my book - you gotta really impress me if you want every single one of my five stars. One big reason I rated you less: The person who served me gave me the biggest "dagger" (here in Adelaide slang, this means giving someone an angry facial expression) SO clearly obvious that I felt like she didn't want me ordering her food. I just wanted to say, hey, your yummy Yiros alone is making me finish my order, and I'm giving you my money, so you can at least give me your tiniest smile when serving me food.
Don't get me wrong - You could've earned 4-stars from me, but no way you're going to get 5-stars from me. If you compare your service to some of the other reviews I've done where I gave them 5 stars, the two biggest reasons were based on: their top service, and how they made me feel entering/during/walking out. Yes, your Yiros was oozing sauce, full of the right flavours, fresh vegies, quick wrapping - in fact, it was easily one of the best tasting Yiros I've had in the Adelaide CBD area. (But I can't forget that when you were listening to my verbal order, you maintained your cold angry facial expression straight into my eyes. I don't appreciate that at all.)
Maybe I'm still caught up in the post X-mas holiday spirit where I wrongly expect that everybody should be positive, happy, smiley, or enjoy being at their work. But for a city that reminds their employees all the time about how you greet customers properly and having a happy attitude at work in general, I was secretly disappointed in your service.
Yes, your Yiros is great, but I just can't get over how you served me with such a death stare. Did I do anything wrong to you, in the 5 seconds we just met? That's just not on when it comes to giving other people food. I'm on a break from work, absolutely starving, so the least you can do is smile. Please. read more
