DO NOT TIP!!!!
THEY SCAM YOU FOR THE SERVICE CHARGE!!!!
They always list all the food you've ordered in the receipt to make it look legitimate. But the total price is always shown in a separate receipt. One day me and a bunch of friends realized that the total price does not amount to the food we've ordered. My friend calculated it using his handphone and turned out the restaurant added 12.5% service charge cheekily without telling us. When confronted, they replied that this is obligatory. So we let it slide for that time.
I've had about 5 meals after I found out about the service charge scam, and every single time they always add the extra 12.5% without telling me. And the worst part is, after they bring the bill (only if you pay with debit card), they would ask you whether you would like to add service charge into it. My friend was annoyed by this and actually said that it is already added. The waitress was embarassed and she went away. Another waiter replaced her to give us our receipt.
So yes, the food is great, but the scam is not.
