本杰明Yunnan Crossing Bridge Garden, many years ago, has opened a store in Monterey Park City, Los Angeles. I don't know if it is one of the chains in China, or just use the name. The reason why many years, I can't remember which year it opened, just remember that in 2005 a child from China worked there, felt angry (allegedly the old employee bullied the new employee), transferred to a nightclub (not similar catering, but entertainment and wine sales), and felt wronged. I don't know if the boss has changed, but the staff has changed. Due to the experience of five years, I paid attention to the quality of the staff. After so many years, I have been there several times intermittently. Frankly, the service attitude has gradually improved, but some details have not changed in substance, such as the attitude to tipping. As we all know, eating in the United States should be tipped, and how much tip is given, non-mandatory, depending on the guest, generally give 10% to 15%, there are also 20%; you can pay the bill and pay the tip, you can also pay the bill after the tip. However, when the guest pays the bill, it is not necessarily the same as the bill, so the service staff should return the change they find to the guest, and then the guest will recover some change or give more as a tip. However, more than once, the waiter did not give the change back, the waiter himself estimated that the change should be recovered as a tip. This kind of thing is rare in the United States, except for this store, only encountered once in the 1990s in an old Florida restaurant. Of course, the service has also improved. For example, treating guests is more diligent than before, unlike when they were busy before, it is almost difficult... The taste of this store is still relatively good, similar to the domestic name Yunnan Crossing Bridge Garden, so the business is good. Our colleagues retired dinners and birthday dinners also partyed in this store. The store has been expanded and renovated, at least the decoration is better than before. Health needs to be improved, for example, cleaning frequently in the men's bathroom. The environment is average. Most restaurants near this location are Chinese restaurants. Due to heavy traffic and concentrated Chinese, it is difficult to find parking spaces during meal times, especially lunch time. I hope this store will do better and better, and I hope that the store will pay attention to employee training and treat guests equally, including guests who look like mainland China. Note: If the guest says "keep change", the employee can not change; If the guests do not say, the staff should change, it is common sense.

本杰明When you mention the Chinese district of Los Angeles, usually the first thing people think of is Monterey Park (Monterey Park). When you mention Monterey Park, the first thing you think of must be Ding Fatzi Square. The name of Ding Fatzi Square is the source of a Chinese breakfast shop that was once opened in the north of the square. The name Ding Fatzi, fried dough sticks, pancakes, and soy milk are quite famous. Later, this store seemed to have changed a few hands, or even changed its name, but Dante Fatzi became a loud name agreed to in the square. The official address of Ding Fatzi Square is: 117 N Lincoln Ave, Monterey Park, CA 91755. In fact, Ding Fatzi Square is at the northeast corner of Garvey Ave and Garfield Avenue (garfield Ave), which is next to Garfield Avenue in the west, Jiadae Road in the south and Lincoln Street in the east. Opposite Jiadae Road, is Lincoln Hotel. The square is also called Lincoln Square. If Monterey Park and its surrounding area are Los Angeles, California, and even the largest Chinese gathering area in the United States, then for local new and old immigrants, Chinese students and tourists in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, the most lively Ding Fatzi Square in Monterey Park City is a landmark. The square is small and famous. Most of the friends and classmates who visit have stopped here. At the northwest end of the square, there is a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant ABC, which is not only a good place for me to make coffee and eat supper, but also a frequent choice for friends, classmates and visitors. There is a Chinese fast food restaurant on the edge of ABC, Xiaomei, is one of the first choices for single dogs or fast fooders. Xiaomei's fried steamed buns and later fresh meat moon cakes are among the famous local cuisines. After leaving my hometown for a long time, I couldn't help but taste the fried raw, and bought a roast duck in the store next door to take it away. Now, in addition to WeChat, food is the most important bridge for us to contact our hometown. Suddenly, the route was cut, and suddenly the visa was invalid... Although it was a short matter, especially compared to the long road of life, there was more yearning in helplessness. Then, passing by, buying a takeaway, still feel delicious, we still have Chinese blood on us. Ding Fatzi, Lincoln, a land and a sea, just like our identity, body and mind, like our name, our character, is actually just a match. And the hometown, that is, like smoke, that is, a dream, and a dream. And this life to the past life some time through. Or sting.
