Top Southeast Asian Restaurant in Pittsburg

My first visit to this quaint petite restaurant. I ordered chicken pancit and vegetable lumpia to go. It took about 10 or 15 minutes. The cashier was pleasantly cheerful. The total was $11 and some change. It has been a long few years since the last time I had pancit at a potluck. I just had a craving for it today. Anyways, while driving home, I grabbed a lumpia to munch on and it was cold. Not room temp cold but refrigerator cold. I thought it could have at least been heated in a toaster oven, which is what I did with the remaining 3 pieces when I got home. The lumpia came with a dipping sauce which tasted like vinegar?? The chicken pancit was steamy hot, down to the last morsel and very good. Nice portion but only one lemon wedge. I have to remember to take pictures of the food, dang it!! I was hungry, haha!!-The mail lady

If it were possible to rate these neo-racists in negative intergers, I would summarily do so.After picking up my wife, who is Filipina, from The BART Station. I myself am Black. It was her idea to visit for dinner. Bwcause they have a full service hot food bar. The time was about 8-8:15pm all in all. The market was due to close at 9pm.They were already beginning to shut down the hot food area. I was, with her, looking over the remaining selections. Of course, recognizing her as one of their own. She was being served expeditiously. Shes trying to ask me what I would like. But the lady serving her kept interrupting her to ask what she wanted.Intriguing enough. Another Filipina woman entered the food line behind me. Rather closely, invading my personal space. Oh, she was served as expeditiously as my wife, by one other of the no less than four to five people working. I was mortified. My dignity tested. As I told my wife (the lady serving her never even spoke to me, or acknowledged me) what I wanted to order. They were swiftly gathering up the heating trays, and declaring the items were all out. Which was a bold faced lie. Finally, I advised my wife, who I felt sorry for, as she appeared completely ashamed, hurt... to just get what she wants and we leave. Because if I was starving. I wouldnt eat their food for free. By the way. The woman behind me got everything she wanted. While I had these people look off to the side as if they couldnt see a 64, 250lb well dressed man before them.This is America. A society composed of multiple ethnic groups. Sometimes the stories of how we come together or clash arent always very neat or nice. We may carry the baggage of negative encounters with us along our way. But this is not a personal scenario. Like my 25 year marriage to my wife. This is business. All paying customers deserve proper and expeditious service. A former coworker once said to me: With Filipinos, you never know. Some love us (Blacks) and others we couldnt give something valuable for free... tonight was the latter. My business, despite my wifes being accepted, was not wanted. Nor will they get it in the future. --D. W.
