Default [Sydney] Review of Chinese Noodle Restaurant, Quay Street, Haymarket

You get what you paid for! While this place is known for having the best noodles around and some of greatest and
cheapest food around, you still get what you paid for! Be prepared for the lack of service and the rudeness of
the non-English speaking waitresses when you pay for a noodle dish at $7.50.

While I had been a frequent eater at the Noodle House, I can say, never more after today! With its daily queues
and lack of space, waitresses hint at you (not speak) to leave by gesturing wildly at their watches, pass by
across you hitting you across the head, making sure your empty teapot stays empty (it's a custom to open the lid
of your teapot when the tea has finished and most of these places brings you more tea) and bringing the bill to
you even though you have not finished your meal!

While I'm sure this review will not deter the hordes that go to this place, if you really wanted to be treated
like a paying customer and not a mere number of their turnover policy, then do seriously consider if you want to
eat at this place. The rudeness and our treatment was not worth the food experience at all. It detracted any
culinary enjoyment of my friend "The food was nice but..." and they have lost (though probably not missed)two
customers. I felt the old adage of the food industry: I was merely renting a table.

Go to the Chinese Noodle Restaurant if you must (there are other viable alternatives within the vicinity
including a $2 per dish Taiwanese place next door) but remember you must eat your food within 30 minutes, or
less. Or you'll start receiving dirty looks, wildly gesticulating waitresses and a stupefying Basil Fawlty "we
hate the customer" attitude.
