I went to a Vietnamese restaurant here and tried to order what I believed to be a noodle dish. The waitress said, "No, you don't want", and she was kind of giggling.
"No, I want."
"No, you no want. Very, very Vietnamese."
"Great. I'll take it."
We went back and forth about this for nearly 5 minutes. She actually had another waitress and a manager come over and tell me, "No, you DON'T WANT THAT."
I settled for fried tofu and rice.
They shut the place down a month later for serving dog and cat meat.
Talk hokey, trust your waitress, tip at least 8%.
