"In the far east, there exists a strange little shop that has repeatedly refused the Michelin three-star rating. The prices there are exorbitant, a bowl of fried rice with soup and egg costs RMB, oh, and don't forget the side dish of pickled vegetables, yet even so, there are always many people waiting in line. They don't accept reservations, only allowing people to queue up in person on-site. Countless individuals charter planes just to join the queue, although no parking spaces or parking lots are provided, of course. The service there is appalling, as customers are actually expected to serve themselves, clean up their own dishes and utensils, and oh! God, this owner must be insane." - "Michelin Gourmet Magazine"
