Upon arriving to Megan's kitchen, prior to placing our food order the server brought out a small plate of preserved egg and another small plate of pickled cucumber. Assuming it's like those complimentry dishes that korean restaraunts provide, or like the bread italian restaraunts provide. We were under the impression that it was free since we didnt order it and it was already given to us.We have came in for the late night special where they offer 1/2 off soup basebuy 1 get 1 free meat plate,and
We have came in for the late night special where they offer
1/2 off soup base
buy 1 get 1 free meat plate,
and a buy one drink/beer get the second for free.
We ordered the crab and tomato soup base, and the server asked if we wanted another soup base as well since we can have up to two different soup bases. We agreed and went ahead and ordeded the tom yum cappacuino one as well. she then one kept trying to pressure my friend to order the seafood special, Which my friend has already kindly declined, Then she looks at me and goes, o he doesnt want to order the seafood for you guys but it's really good. I don't understand what was she trying to imply but i already told him i dont want seafood beforehand, after back and forth for about 5 minutes she finally backed down.
After our food order, for drinks he ordered a spirit and since i get a second drink for free i said sure, i'll have an ice tea. She returned quickly with a sprite can and a glass of ice, and hot tea. poured the hot tea in the glass and viola that's how the fulfilled my ice tea order.
When we were done with our meal and got the bill they charged us
$20 for hot tea (which was suppose to be a free ice tea with the combo...)
$96 for the preserved egg and picled cucumber which we did not order
1/2 price of each of the soup base, since i ordered two that makes in pretty much full price soup base. (we were told we were allowed up to two, however they didnt tell us that'll be full price)
$40 for sauces we used for hot pot
and $168 for the beef charge.
so they have pretty much ripped us off on every charge except the beef and i'm used to paying for sauces in hk so that i can accept.
While trying to reason with them, their explation was simply if you didnt order it you shouldn't have ate it. Usually our customers will return it back to the kitchen. So at this point my friend was really upset, he said to them so basically you're telling me that you're bringing out food that's been sitting out on the tables and reusing them for new customers? After being caught redhanded they agree to remove the charge of those dishes.
I am never coming back here again, even though the hot pot is pretty good but its just not worth getting jerked around like that because we are foreigners.
