Five of us went to this place for a peaceful dinner, but it ended up being a waste of time and money. The elderly woman was extremely rude and obnoxious. She demand that we order as quickly as possible. She wants us to eat quickly and leave early. She was treating us as if we were here for free food. We felt completely uneasy, but a woman with short hair and better English appeared to be a nice person. This experience has convinced us that we won't go back to Chung Ki Wah.P.S. the food wasn't cheap enough for us to treat it this way.

I would never come back here again and it’s solely because of the service. My family of 10 decided to come here for dinner. Mind you, we are the ONLY one in the restaurant. They give us 2 menus, we had to ask for more. 5 mins sitting, the waitress with the black hair is asking what we want. We told her please give us a min. She just stands there. She then demands that we should each order one item. Um, no. We always eat family style.We ignore her suggestion and then she still continues to huff and puff while standing there.She made more comments and we were ready to leave. The ONLY reason we stayed was because the next waitress with red-ish hair took our order and was nice.After the first waitress’s service, my mood just turned sour. I did not enjoy the food nor did my family. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t good either.Through out our meal, the 1st server is constantly hovering, making noises. My family member said “she is treating us like we are here eating for free”At the end of the meal, the nice waitress brings our bill and we pay. But when the receipt came back, the first rude waitress comes. She says “tip in cash” we said okay and she continues to stand there. We gave her 18% even with her bad service. And then she takes the receipts and demands that it’s min. 20% and that so many of us came here to eat and that we should tip more.SHE WOULD NOT LEAVE OUR TABLE.We tipped her 20% to get her to leave. She didn’t say thank you or nothing!!I will be telling everyone not to come here. No one wants to go out to eat to experience this kind of behavior.

Buddy of mine was more hungrier than me so he ordered entree and drinks while I just got an appetizer. She glared at me and got mad. She talked in a rude aggressive tone as well.

Forced me to leave AT LEAST 15% tip. Their attitude if customer decides to leave tip under 15% is extremely disrespectful and unprofessional.Also, the basement which the bathroom is so dirty and has rats. Because of that, couldn’t even use the bathroom.

We came in and the lady literally threw the menus on the table and then got mad when we weren’t ready to order. Service was horrible but food made up for it I guess( and we still tipped her 10$ lol ) for 3 of

This place has seriously gone to hell. Oh lord.. where do I begin?! Not that it was great to begin with but the bar has sunk. I went once before during the pandemic because my aunt lives nearby. It wasn't great but I appreciate them being open and staff was friendly enough.So, more than 2 years later - they must've really shaped up right? Hah.. you know where this is going. Come in, wait for seating.. why? The place is empty af. Ok whatev. Waited over 10 minutes to get a server .. again, THE PLACE IS NEAR EMPTY.. what is going on in the back??Finally the food comes out . Broth was cold .. no fun. Pancake was totally bland. Where are your flavor sauces? Screw this.. we're not wasting more time. Eat a little, pay the OVERPRICED bill and leave. Last time here.

The food is ok and pricey, but the service is getting worse. The lady kept repeating that I need to tip at least 15% if I want to pay & tip by card. If lower than 15% I have to tip in cash. Wth!!

Will never eat here. Leave one star after reading the reviews because I hate any people who are racist and find excuses for their own mistakes.

Got a take out dish and there was a plastic in the food ... omg so disgusting! I just don't get how there's plastic inside the food. The food doesn't taste good anyways. Stay away from this place it's not clean.

I had a truly dreadful experience at this restaurant. The hospitality was abysmal, and the servers were shockingly rude. From the moment I walked in, I felt like an inconvenience rather than a customer. The servers seemed more interested in chatting amongst themselves than attending to our needs. When we finally managed to place our order, it took an eternity for the food to arrive, and when it did, it was cold and tasteless. To make matters worse, when we politely voiced our concerns, the servers responded with condescension and dismissive attitudes. It's safe to say I won't be returning to this establishment.
