This is actually a long overdue entry. My housemates and I had decided to try out Supper Inn after hearing good comments from others about the place as well as from the internet. However our experience there was not as pleasant as hoped and has left a rather bad impression on us. Firstly it was rather surprising that there was a minimum charge to book a table so we decided to not do that. However there was still a minimum charge even without the booking but I guess they are not the only restaurants that do that. The food itself was actually pretty good, I was pleased with the quality of the food. However the service was something left to be desired. The waiter/waitress that had served us was not very responsive nor showed much empathy. There were 6 of us there that night and 1 had decided that she wanted to have congee instead of sharing a meal with the rest of us, so rice (which is ordered seperately) was ordered for 5. It came in a little bucket so we had assume that the bucket was for our table to consume as we liked. So when we had quite a lot of leftovers, we asked the girl who had chose to eat congee to try the dishes and have some rice. When the waitress saw us doing so, she came over and told us that that was not allowed as we had ordered rice for 5 people even though the bucket was more than half full, and that if she wanted to have some she had to pay extra. Not only that but she immediately snatched the bucket of rice away without even asking if we were done. I thought that that was extremely rude and we were all outraged. What made it worst was that it was obvious that they did not behaved the same way with the other customers, namely the Chinese speaking Chinese and the Caucasions. It was obviously discrimination! And by people of my own race. Even though the food was good, I have to say that I will never spend another cent in that restaurant ever again.
