I think they are notoriously rude to 3 types of customer. 1. stupid people like paying with credit card when they literally outlined only cash. 2. people who are very hesitant on ordering foods at rush hour. 3. karen that expect to have a 3 star Michelin restaurant experience. They are super polite to pregnant woman btw 佢居然想俾我佢嘅電話號碼? --> 佢居然想要我嘅電話號碼!? 🙏

We took our baby daughter to HK this year. I'm Cantonese so she is half. Everyone we met would comment on her looking "more Western". We didn't find it rude, just the HK way of being blunt and to the point 😂. Everyone loved our girl and wanted to wave at her and say hello.

[@MeganJacques]

Yeah🤣 and they like the more Western look

They're not rude now,after the pandemic, in fact, quite nice. I love going there.

[@CGSteve8718]

I'm not from HK and never lived there but I am Cantonese Chinese. The place didn't seem that rude to me at all. It sounded like friendly banter, maybe flirting with you but I think more jokingly. I've been to Vietnamese restaurants here in the US where they seat you and then come over immediately and expect you to order. I don't think it's rude, they just offer a few things and expect you to know.

[@chinaboss6683]

Not rude, they focus on rapid service. 😂

[@oh2mp]

This made me somehow to remember a Chinese restaurant which was in Helsinki Finland and had a little similar mentality. The owner was a Chinese woman in her late 50s who didn't talk but shouted all the time. She looked to be a good organizer and the food there was delicious. We called that restaurant as "Shout Chinese" with my co-workers :D

[@manolexing68]

I'm live in Bangkok. I've been​ to​ HK about 6 times. By international​ hospitality standards (if there is one), I'd say this restaurant​ is a bit mechanical in terms of their unemotional tone, but not to the​ point of rude. I think restaurants in HK are in generalof similar tone if they're​ busy. I've been​ to​ a rude restaurant​ in HK on my last trip there. The waitresses were like a little​ bit older than teenage​rs, and for some reason they just don't bother to follow-up my order no matter what. My only interaction with them prior to waiting​ for​ my​ order is just casually ordering food from the​ menu just like everyone​ else. This restaurant is just across from​ the Holiday Inn in Gowloon. A trendy western food joint that gave me the most intriguing negative vibe ever simply because there were no negative interactions with anyone there that could've been considered as a catalyst for the unexplained shunning of services. Needless to say, I eventually bought my lunch elsewhere. Maybe past lives are a real thing and somehow our paths crossed under poor circumstances back then??? 😮😮😮 I 'll never really​ know.

Hong Kong’s old-fashioned sumptuous breakfast is definitely an unforgettable meal experience!

[@ericaw7834]

Cool vid😊 I wouldn't considered it as 'rude' at all. There were a bit of flirting tho😮. It's HK hustle-bustle style cafe 茶餐廳 where people just go in for a quick meal/recharge i.e. breaky, afternoon tea etc. Hongkies loves their afternoon tea with an egg tart or a pineapple bun sandwiching a thick slab of butter. Flushing it down w a coffee or milk tea in say 15-20mins. Wait until you see a waiter/waitress get an item/order wrong, you will definitely hear rudeness from the kitchen staff/manager/boss.....scolding are delivered aloud consisting of all swear words in one sentence/go in front of all customers😢見怪不怪 and that's 香港茶餐廳style Gosh, I missed HK Cafe food😂

That is correct, they are not really rude, that’s how their culture is unless you wasting their time.

[@TSEROXAYAN]

welcome to the realistic world of local Hong Kong restaurant! That's the way most of these restaurant operates, food is being served quickly and the bill will be placed on the table once the food has been ordered as these places don't really want the customer to sit for too long plus they will make good usage of spaces, thus a lot of times you will have to share table with someone if you are entering one of these restaurants during breakfast, lunch and dinner time. It's good for you to know cantonese!

[@sawyewweng5096]

Personally (as a Malaysian Chinese), I don't think HK'ers are being deliberately rude. It's just their preference in being straightforward, especially given how fast-paced and hectic life in HK can be. And I find that quite refreshing, since I can count on them to speak their mind. Likewise, sharing tables with others it's pretty normal in Asia (after all, we are just there to have a meal). If we one some privacy, we can always go to higher-end restaurants, where we can reserve our own table. PS: I spent seven days straight ordering their omelette sandwiches to-go. The rest of their menu items is pretty underwhelming, not worth seating in there.

[@jlouie8835]

A similar breakfast in LA will cost you 2.5-3 times the price plus 10% sales tax and 18% tips and doesn't taste as good. So, the point is, you get what you paid for. I love this place, I had been there before, it's very affordable and tasty and I understand you can't have everything for not paying enough as long as you don't use their toilet. I'll go back again and again in a heart beat when I get the chance to visit HK next time if I want to eat something with a limited budget.

[@Presso99]

This type of restaurant was existed in London China Town for over 30-40 years. I am not sure whether it still exists or not, the name is called Wong Kok (旺角). When the food arrives, they just throw the plate on the table, not in front of you, you just need to go pick it up. Also, their tables are shared. When they delivered the food to you, if it happens to be wrong, he will just bluntly said NOODLE IS NDDOLE. However their foods is good and cheap.

I hate the customer service in Hong Kong & yet I am a typical HK citizen🥹 After travelling around Asian countries for few years, among these I would say the CS in HK is absolutely the worst, even worser than that in Mainland China😒 As the HK govt is now focusing more in tourism industry, it’s really time for CS representatives to stay alert in their services & manners towards customers. If tourists in HK continue to receive rude customer services, HK can hardly be considered as a favourable place to visit😉

(while give me a face)...I got triggered at that moment. Then he said " there isn't enough space ma"....I was staring him as why I can't order what I like. Then 2 minutes later, indeed there was chaos on my table, not enough space when all food arrives.

I didn't say anything but my facial expression must have betrayed me. The waiter quickly said, somewhat jokingly but loudly, "we're a five start restaurant and dishes come one by one gar! " Of course, had everything come at the same time, the small table just couldn't handle anyway.

It is not rude, it is just fast paced, Hong Kong styled, time is money. It is fair to say, you don't get customer services if you look for good foods and not-expensive meals. The restaurant got to serve all customers wanting to come in. So it is common in small space that you share table with strangers. Not a place for long n relaxing time while enjoying the meals and chatting with friends.
