It's a chain with a few locations. permalink fedilink source parent [–] moriquende@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago I regularly go to a Vietnamese restaurant with work colleagues not only because the food is great, but the entertainment value of the owner berating you for not eating the expensive vegetables or calling you an idiot because you ordered the small drink despite the small price difference is just hilarious. You can tell he isn't faking it too, the guy really just can't keep it in. We love it, but I've met plenty of people who vowed to never return after the experience. permalink fedilink source parent [–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago (3 children) This is apparently already a thing.
