SUCKS

July 22, 2008

Ugh this place sucks, like a lot - in my opinion Kingsland Rd Vietnamese is much of a muchness - everyone has their favorite place but pretty much its all about the same so what makes each place preferable is the atmosphere, the service and the staff.

This Tay Do is opposite the road from Tay Do Cafe, on the same side as Viet Hoa - anyway it was about 11 on a monday and pretty much these guys were the only people still serving. They said they stopped serving at 11.30 but as soon as we sat down the waiter told us to order NOW! Ugh, alright, ok ok, cool ya boots - we ordered as quickly as possible with the guy getting all huffy. Pretty quickly he brings the food out but just leaves them on the end of the table with us having to guess what each dish is. Not only did he just leave all the dishes at the end of the table but there was one too many and we realised that when one of us changed our order he hadn't written it down or been listening - because he'd been so shitty we thought we'd leave it, we were tired and hungy and couldn't be arsed to fight.

The meal ends and the food was ok, not amazing but ok passable. Anyway we asked if we could take the spare dish home and he brings over a tin tray and a plastic bag and just hands them to my friend! Like we're meant to put it in there - I was shocked - anyway then comes the best bit - he brings the bill over and he's written down how much things cost but not added up the total - he then walked off and we couldn't find him again - I was all for walking out but my friends did the right thing and paid with no tip - but seriously I know we arrived late but it was 11 and they're open until 11.30, if they're going to treat people like that who arrive at 11 just close at 11. Ugh I hate them, I'm never ever going back there and next time I'm hungry and everywhere else is closed I'm getting a pot noodle and going home.
