“The lady behind the desk called ammie is so rude to her delivery drivers and customers she has no respect in how she speaks to people. I would advise to you all not to order and eat from this Chinese as not just her attitude stinks I saw one big rat in the back by the desk area I told her and she started shouting and pointing back at me there loads of rat droppings.”
