Hi,
So I'm trying decide what to do for lunch today. I'd like Chinese food but I don't want to pay $15+ at PF Changs.
There is this smaller Chinese restaurant and the food is really good. You get a nice portion for lunch and it costs around $6.
The last time I was there was a few months ago. I found a hair in my food. I'm not talking eyelash length, sitting on top. I found it after I had eaten a few bites, it was long, all enmeshed in the gravy, wrapped around the meat and onions, etc. Ugh! I haven't been back since but today I want Chinese food and they are the only decent one in the area, besides PF Changs.
Would you go back to this restaurant?
Thanks in advance.
I'd have told the manager so they're aware. If I liked the place and the food and thought it was otherwise adhering to health codes, that wouldn't stop me from going back unless it happened again.
A single hair found in food one time can happen at any restaurant, despite precautions If it happened again though or I saw other signs that concerned me, I'd avoid it. A hair once? Nah.
I've actually never understood human's extreme reaction to hair in food. I'll admit, I find it gross too, but if I think about it objectively, hair is not really all that disgusting. It's the things we DON'T see in our food that are actually disgusting.
Hair in food is nasty but if it happened just once, I'd consider it a fluke. My father found a wad of hair in the bottom of his coffee cup after drinking the whole thing. ugh. He said it was like someone cleaned their brush and put the hair in a coffee cup. How the waitress who filled the cup didn't see it I'll never know. This would be the kind of place I'd avoid forever.
Depends -- if it was my first time trying a place and it happened, I'd really have to think about returning. But if it happened at a place that I've had many other positive, hair-free, experiences, I'd chalk it up as a one-time thing and return.
I'd chance it. But like everybody else says--any other signs of yuck--don't go back!
