Wow...what the HECK happened to this location? I am deeply upset with my experience here last time i came in & forgot to talk to a manager afterwords. But thought i'd update my review because it's been 3 years.
My bad experience was back in May or around then. When walking in the girl at the counter was cussing at a new employee & was extremely rude/crude & i couldn't believe she would use such foul language in front of customers. SHE JUST DIDN'T CARE! I believe she was either a assistant or at least someone who seems to know what they were doing. She was at the counter with another guy. The guy was being very kind and polite to us while she was cursing in the back because of his slow performance. This women had a very unique name but forgot it, i wrote it down somewhere at one point. She's Asian & short with a round face & looks like she's in a bad mood most of the time. The server who served us was tall, African american. He had accidentally dropped the cutting knife on the floor & she just exploded, picked it up & sped off like a bat out of H*LL! Then came back, scolded the guy in front of us at the meat counter & the guy just took it. I SAID SORRY TO HIM! Because he didn't deserve it. He was new, he was trying & didn't put the knife on the counter right. I wanted to stop her & tell her to chill but the place was crowded with people & i didn't want to make a scene like she was making so i left in a huff with a bad attitude because of her poor attitude & extremely unprofessional behavior! If you need to talk to someone or scold them, you don't do it in front of customers!
Now that i told you that experience, i'll let you know how i feel like this location has gone down hill since then. The food is ok & hasn't been tasting so great as of recently. Since there is such a high demand at this location because it's always crowded & is located inside of a mall, it's a very small panda express for Bellevue's growing population. They are constantly making food & wait times have since increased. I had to wait 20+ minutes for my food after i had to wait already 10 minutes in line to place my order. This happens far too often here. The staff are awful besides that one lady mentioned above. No one is ever grateful anymore like they use to be & it could be that they're not getting paid enough (i feel you there) but there is no reason to give horrible customer service. I bet the cooks in the back are thankful they don't have to deal face to face with customers. The place feels stressful both on the customer side & employee side.
Overall i'm sad to say i no longer come here & after dealing with that crazy women being so rude to her own staff & rude to me for acting that way while i was standing just 5 feet in front of her on the other side of the counter, this location gets 1 STAR! I do not recommend coming here even if she was fired or moved on. I may stop by on a wim but i will not go out of my way to eat food from this location. I've taken my money elsewhere. read more
