Also, the women's washroom was dirty and gross - almost comparable to an outhouse.

Also, they are so rude with the costumers and all the restaurant are very dirty (floor, tables, chairs) while they are laughing on the kitchen, instead to clean and maintain the place.

And when one did, none of the staff greeted me or led me to it, and they took their sweet time cleaning it.
