people after reliable chicken rice and pastries, less critical of service inconsistency

What do customers say?

Food quality is solid when done well: chicken rice, grilled chicken, and pastries earn regular praise. However, service is the weak point. Some staff show real warmth; others ignore customers at the counter, answer rudely about basics like plastic bags, and fail to acknowledge long waits or queue-jumping. Inconsistency is the pattern: the same spot praised for charm and value one visit turns frustrating the next.
