Wow, I was really trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, hoping I misunderstood your message, but I guess you actually were trying to be a d*ck.
First off, jap isn't an actual abbreviation for jalapeno, so I would venture that the average person might READ the word and automatically pronounce it in their head as "jap" and not "hap", regardless of the context or intent. And that is what happened in my case, which immediately triggered a subconscious reaction due to my own personal trauma with the word. The gut reaction happened before I even had an opportunity to investigate the context. And apparently that's worthy of being mocked? Am I a snowflake because I happened to be subjected to racist derision in junior high while you may have been fortunate enough to not have to deal with that kind of crap? Do you think I'm the only person of Japanese descent in this city who might have a similar reaction?
I always enjoyed your takes on the food scene in this city, so I'm honestly disappointed to see this side of you.
No one pronounces jap as "hap" - that's not a thing.
No reason to think it's meant to be hurtful but let's be serious here.
alright... let's get back to topic.
Who runs/owns this place btw?
Place is great, I have been going to their food truck/booth at arts festival for years.
For some reason when I was there they did not have the option to add chicken/goku steak to the traditional advertised on the menu at all but it at least got me to finally try something new there lol.
Just checked their social media and it looks like they updated the menu a couple days ago to reflect the original options from the food truck, good deal.
We went there Saturday. They did have the option to add Chicken (+$4 I think).
The food was pretty good. But seems like they are having some growing pains. They did not have any to-go containers at all, which was kind of disappointing.
I went Saturday late afternoon and we did get to-go containers, so we must have taken the last two!. Sorry about that! Ha
Yes we were there 4-5 range. Ordered one take out and also a to-go box for what we had there. So must usually have them and just ran out (hopefully).
Glad to hear they added to the menu. When I last went they said they had their menu and it was different from the food truck. What I had was good, but wasn't going to go back cause I didn't get what I wanted.
They've posted on social that they are struggling mightily because of low sales, and asking for patrons. Let's go, guys! We don't need another local restaurant on the closed now thread.
I saw that and went today and holy hell so did everyone else. They had to call in all staff, plus the owner, plus some of the staff of Joey's Pizza next door. Even with all this help I did not get my food for 1.25 hours and I had to leave to go back to work. But I ain't even mad.
Sailor and Dock posted on their FB yesterday to go give them some business.
These companies should pay OKCTalk for story promotions. It would keep their names in front of the right audience more frequently.
77K IG and 120K FB (mostly local) followers is no joke.
Never been but as I posted on another thread restaurant business are hurting. Sept/Oct are always a slow time and people don't have savings and extra income right now. I know new restaurants open all the time doesn't mean they making a profit.
The two times I've gone this year, the food was meh and the service was worse.
