First and absolutely last time to MING's. Waitress attitude was beyond rude to us and the customer trying to place a take out order, while on speaker. We walk in, we say Hello with no response from the waitress who was standing at the front. After about a minute she says sit anywhere. Then after a while of sitting there waiting. The waitress ask what do you want to drink at us from the front desk. We state we first time here, don't know what you have. She goes we have Coke. We go do you anything else, or even menus. She gets up and walks away ohhh ya menu's. She goes into the kitchen. She comes out stating if I have time to someone in the kitchen. She drops off menus and finally order drinks. Then phone rings, the waitress answers with no greetings again to the lady on the phone. The waitress puts it on speaker phone. Then states we are only taking take out orders until 6:30pm. It is currently 3:30pm. The caller says can you speak up, I am having a hard time hearing you. The waitress states I have you on speaker. The caller states, that is why you are hard to hear and keep cutting out. Can you take me off speaker? The waitress response was, "No, it is your phone."
The caller was upset and proceeds to place order, with name and phone number can be heard by us. Then the waitress says your order will be ready for pick up at 6:30pm. The caller says, no I will be there in 10 minutes. The waitress says they will not have it ready by then, they do not have time. The caller says I am already on my way to pick up the order. Waitress says we will not have it ready until closer to 6:30pm a whole 3 hours later. The waitress says I will ask the kitchen to see if they have time to get it made before 6:30pm. By the time hearing all this, we were done and just wanted to leave in case it takes 3 hours for us to get food. The waitress then on her way to the kitchen, asks us if we were ready to order. I say I have a few questions, hoping that they are really not going to be that long. She goes to the kitchen, advising them the staff of the take out order. She turns around to face us, stating I informed them that it would not be ready until 6:30 pm. Then she states what are the questions. I ask about the hot pot and sizzling fried rice. Get told that someone from Calgary order it yesterday and absolutely hated it but it is a really good dish. That was it for my table companion. He stated, we are going to pay for our drinks and go to a different restaurant. She goes do you have any more questions. No, we will just go elsewhere, thank you. She starts talking about how she is trying to be accompanying, but just comes in and orders drinks. Continued to get ruder about us and the phone in order when two other people walk in. She stated people should realize that she does not have time for this. We said thank you and walked out.
Do not go there, since they do not have the time to serve people. Wish the restaurant luck on stating open with this attitude towards there customers. read more
