Thuan Y ...

... a restaurant that was highly-recommended, but ultimately disappointing. The waiter (and possibly relative of the owner) was quite clueless and definitely got off on the wrong foot - when he delivered a glass of local wine to us, he commented "I don't like this wine. It's not good." Uh ... ok ... not what you typically want to tell customers. Even worse was this mango salad served with shrimp and a choice of pork or beef. But where were the shrimps? When we pointed out that they were missing, he argued that I had only asked for pork, so he left them out. Well, if the menu clearly states that the salad comes with shrimp, and the only choice to be made is pork or beef, do I really need to say I want shrimp? Do I need to ask for the mango in mango salad as well? Most servers would've just offered to bring some shrimp out, which is pre-cooked anyway and can simply be dumped atop the salad, instead of passing blame. The guy really shouldn't be a server, as he pissed off the table next to us when trying to make change - while he wasn't trying to rip them off, the way he kept handling their money definitely made them think he was.
