Chinese Restaurant in Mexico Clashes with Indian Reviewer
A restaurant in Mexico called Wang Tulum got into a big argument with an Indian customer named Anvita on Google reviews.
Anvita said the food wasn't spicy enough, even though she asked for extra chilli oil.
The restaurant replied in a very strong way, saying they cook food the way they like and don't change it for everyone.
They even told her to open her own restaurant if she wasn't happy.
People on the internet saw this and started talking about it.
Some thought the restaurant was being honest, while others thought they were too mean.
The argument shows how different people can have different ideas about food and how restaurants should handle feedback.
Anvita Kotha reviewed Wang Tulum, a Chinese restaurant in Mexico, giving the food 3/5 but praising the service and atmosphere.
She mentioned the dan dan noodles and dumplings weren't spicy despite her request for extra chilli oil.
The restaurant responded aggressively, defending their culinary philosophy and refusing to alter recipes for individual tastes.
They suggested that unhappy critics should open their own restaurants instead.
