Terrible Service, but Awesome Shrimp Fried Rice.

On Friday, Monica, Momocito and I went to Hop Woo BBQ and Seafood restaurant. Monica took me here a long time ago. Click here to read about it. The service wasn't excellent, but the food was good enough to make me keep coming back lol. I liked their lunch specials for $4.25 with rice and soup included.

So we went around 11am to take advantage of their lunch specials. This time, the service sucked!!! It was annoying and it sucked! There were only 6 people eating in the restaurant including us right? Tell me why they forgot one of our orders, they forgot the boba in my drink, they never checked up on us, not even once and for some reason the servers couldn't hear us? I'm not kidding. We were so annoyed. But we kept it cool and asked to fix our order UGH!



Momocito was super silly. 


And that's Monica and her blue hair. Can you tell she loves GLEE?


To start off the meal, they gave us a small plate of peanuts and Chinese croutons to munch on. That's what they're called right? Momocito ate them all!



Included in the lunch specials: bowl of egg drop soup and steamed white rice. It was pretty big and good for four people. Monica didn't like the soup by itself. She said it was better mixed with rice.




We ordered Orange Chicken because it was a safe food Monica lol. You know what's in it. Chicken, breading and orange sauce. We had it last time and we really liked it. It was fragrant, crispy and tender.


Both Mon and I got the Mango Milk Tea. It was really good. It wasn't too sweet and was refreshing. Too bad they forgot to put boba in it. I asked twice and they still forgot O_o. Reeeaallly??


Yes, the best Shrimp Fried rice that made me forget about the bad service. It's a big plate and they were really generous with the Shrimp. I was happy!


The Shrimp in Lobster sauce that they forgot. It was good but we didn't really enjoy it because we were full by the time we got it on our table. The funny thing was, they didn't even apologized. They just placed it on our table O_o.









In spite of the bad service, I'll still come back. Not anytime soon though. I was pleased with the food, huge portions and we never pay more than $20!

the food and Mango Milk Tea looks good! i'll be sure to try this place out next time were in L.A. I like the idea of generous chinese food portions under $20, that's awesome! San Diego needs more of these type of restaurants ;-)

@Sugar Bear: Yes, yes try this place. It's pretty good. They also have lobster with garlic sauce for $10.
