"Lots of restaurants say they're the best. To be honest, we are not and we've never said we are. We just try to be a little bit better every day," said Mr. Yang. Who runs a restaurant named Grandpa Yang in Chongqing.
Yang stared the restaurant in 2011. He was unhappy when quite a lot of food was left uneaten. "If customers know more about the food before they order, they will know what to pick," he thought. So he decided to write something about each dish on his menu online.
Now there is something about the food. "Compared with our General Tao Chicken; this one is not THAT good, " says the introduction of Orange Beef. Another introduction warns, "Don't let the name fool you. This one is NOT a real Sichuan dish. "
"People often search online to find the right restaurant. I don't want them to say, 'Oh, it's one of the best in the area, and it must be very good,' but then they come here only to find it's not so good," Yang said, "Customers should read more about the food before they order, not only my introductions, but also other customers' opinions."
Thanks to his honesty, the restaurant is having a moment under the sun. "It's been a very exciting and busy time," said Yang, "and I love it."
