0:00 You got to use Chinese restaurant rules on black restaurants. >> Oh, cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> Cuz you know how Chinese restaurant rules is like if it's three and a half, you know it's going to be good. >> If it's four and a half stars, you know it's not going to be good. >> It's the for the guo. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Keep them out. >> Welcome to another episode of Wait, what did you say? >> Fried chicken attack. >> That was yesterday. >> Doing that again today. >> Oh, I can't do two days in the road. >> Can you guys? I got to go for a jog later today. >> So yesterday, uh, [clears throat] one of a monumental thing happened. Usually we just order lunch and have it here at the office. And then we had the bright idea to go offsite because Joe was hyping up this really uh, amazing fried chicken place, which actually turned out to meet expectations. Lolos's >> Lolos was very good. I think it's like
0:50 top five fried chicken I've ever had. >> I know my food. >> Yeah, I know my food. We went through a lot of trouble to get there, too. >> I was actually surprised because when Joe sent me the link, the the directions to drive, it was like three three stars or whatever. >> Dude, it was like two and a half. That's how I knew it was going to be good. >> You got to use Chinese restaurant rules on black restaurants. >> Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. >> Cuz you know how Chinese restaurant rules is like if it's three and a half, you know it's going to be good. >> If it's four and a half stars, you know it's not going to be good. >> It's the for the guo. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Keep them out. >> Yeah. Because if you read most of it, it's the same stuff that you'll see at a Chinese restaurant. >> They talk about the service all the ████ time and that's what brings the stars down, but they can't deny the food. >> In most cases, it's always the food was bomb, the appetizers was so fire, but
1:40 they took two hours to bring me this ████ or like whatever. And then like they're always same thing in a Chinese restaurant, right? They're like, I can't believe that ████ That ████ had a thumb in the ████ bowl when they brought it out. [laughter] >> But the food was good. So it's like a dissatisfaction with the process but not the product. >> Exactly. So So when you read that, you're like, "Oh, >> because I go to this other spot here. It's good, but they don't season the chicken." >> Is this what you do? You just purposely go to two star rated restaurants only. >> No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I The stars actually made me hesitate a little bit. >> But after I started eating a lot of soul food, >> I realized that they go through the same ████ Chinese people go through. >> Same rules. Chinese restaurants are ████ top tier five star, but you gotta expect you're in Hong Kong. >> Yeah, they're not Yelp. Chinese
2:30 restaurants aren't Yelp compatible. >> I could say though that that restaurant service is much better than a Chinese restaurant. >> Service was actually really good. >> That guy came back. They did refills. Um when they gave the pieces [clears throat] that was too small, you just got hooked up with the extra piece. >> We got extra food, >> bro. That was the craziest thing. He's like, "Yo, sorry. We're we're waiting on thighs still, so I'm going just give you an extra leg." So nice. I was like, why do they do that? >> Never seen that before. >> That's because I went there four times and I and I was like, I've never had bad service. It's always been ████ friendly. Awesome ████ right? But what I realize is they get scrutinized the same way like a Chinese restaurant does. >> Because of the clientele, >> those black-on-black crap. >> Yeah, that's really what it is. >> Do you think the lowest rated reviews on Asian places are other Asians? >> No, it's white people. Oh,
3:21 >> the Asians probably understand the culture. Like, you already, you know, it's going to be rude. You know, that kind of stuff. >> I never see a Chinese girl on Yelp talking ████ at a Chinese restaurant, but she'll talk ████ about everything else because I think she knows what to expect. Outside cultures come in and they're like, "What the ████ This ████ as soon as I sat down, asked me for my order, I didn't have time to read my menu yet." And that's just Chinese style, man. They're being efficient. Do you think they treated us differently though? Just a little bit? >> No. I saw the way that they treat other people. >> Okay. >> You think they treat black people like trash and then they're like, "Asians are here. >> We're the [laughter] only Asians." >> Yo, where the we're the only Asians? And I don't think they see a lot of Asians that go there. >> That would be their Asian score for the day. >> Oh, >> for the ████ year, probably. >> Yeah. They had seven at one table, dude. >> Yeah. So, they're like, "Okay, let's
4:12 just do well this one time." >> I never seen other Asians. I did see a lot of black ladies when they saw us walk into the restaurant with each Asian, the eyes got bigger. At first it was like, "Oh, go. We got we got one Asian dude here." And then they're like, "Wait, that's 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. What the hell? [laughter] >> There must be a convention in town." [laughter] >> And they all look so different. >> You know what though? I don't think I've ever seen another Asian in there before in the five times that I've been there. >> Asians will travel like cuz I to me I think love good food. Asians are foodies and they will go to wherever there is. But I'm surprised that you know this spot is a little slept on. >> They're giving out chicken to everybody though. >> Oh, you mean they they're denying service? >> No, no, no, no. Honestly, I think I think they felt bad that we waited so
5:02 long. >> Yeah. Okay. >> I think so, too. >> And I think they were like, "All right, let's hook these dudes up." >> I've never waited that long. The the host was very apologetic for how long we waited. >> But it's probably because our size was so and I heard them talking ████ about the party before us that was talk taking forever to leave. >> They're just man, ████ them, man. The ████ they they already finished eating and ████ There's people waiting. >> They were saying all that. >> Yeah, I heard them. I heard them when I walked by. >> That's a lot of dialogue. >> Yeah. [laughter] And then they're like they're just like, man, these ████ is just ████ And then I was like, damn, that's They're trying to kick them out. [laughter] these ████ >> to make room for us the only Asians of the year. >> I think I think I think >> we got seven Asians out there. We need to make [laughter] this clear. >> We're trying to better the relations. >> Yeah, dude. >> It's up to us. [laughter] >> If you read the reviews, you'll see it's
5:52 mostly black-on-black crime. >> Re Oh, really? >> That's why after I I was reading, I was like I was like, you know what they complain about? I thought the service was awesome. I think they're violating their rules. >> You know, you know what it was? Let's talk about all of these odd precursors that they were giving us the entire time from the moment we came in. Did you notice that? That's very different. >> No, there was like Yeah, it was it was a long preface of like >> lit right here. Take that out for me. >> That is really cute. Wait, what's the what are the precursors? >> The first thing they said to us is when they were sitting us down, they're like, "Just so you guys know, because you have a party of of eight, it's 20% gratuitity." And we were all like, "Yeah, okay." And he was like, "Uh, okay, cool. All right, come on. Come on this way. [laughter] He was like taking it back a little bit. >> You know, you can tell that like, okay, we've had really bad arguments about this in the past. We're just going to tell you up front. >> Oh, yeah. They like frontload the
6:42 argument. >> Yeah. Well, we're like that normally wouldn't be a problem. Cool. >> And they just set they set it up. Hey, you need to pay with one card. You guys can split it however you want, but you got to pay with one card. >> When you ask for a cup of ice, you know, like the way that they're like so that you don't see it appear on the bill later and get pissed. Like it seemed like a lot of like pre-damage control like just in case. >> Yeah. >> I've never seen that at a restaurant. >> Bar asked for an extra cup of ice and then they said for for every cup it's $2. And Bart was like so >> I was like sure. >> But then he was like it's it's going to be $2. >> And I'm like I'm like okay sure. [laughter] >> I'm like all right. >> Is that cool? Is that is that cool with you? >> They assign a guy just to say that extra everything is extra because everybody fights them. I feel like >> Yeah. Hell yeah. >> All right, let's see if Joe's Let's see Joe's theory. >> But if you if you go eat enough
7:32 >> the open hours, is this seven days a week? Seven days a week >> till midnight, dude. Cuz they got a bar and everything. Hey, I want to I want people to see the pictures of the food. >> Music was ridiculously loud. >> That's a white lady. >> Yeah, that's a white lady. >> Yeah, but that's a white lady complain. It was ridiculously Can I go back? >> Oh, here we go. Brandon, don't believe the hype. The chicken was old and dry as hell. Some ████ They warmed up from yesterday. The waffles were bland as hell. No flavor whatsoever. >> Black-on-black crime, dude. >> It had a gritty texture. Just horrible. The manager was so unprofessional. It wasn't even funny. What? Wow. Look at the last comment. >> Just sad. Adding to the reason it's hard to support black businesses. Rosco's Chicken and Waffles ain't all that, but this place can't hold a candle to them. GET THE ████ OUT. REALLY? ARE WE just way off? That's crazy. It >> was very compar. I thought it was very
8:22 good. The thing is, I read these reviews >> way better >> and I've never once had any horrible experience with the quality of the food or nothing like >> go to go to another one from Long Beach. >> Oh, she got a lot to say, dude. It it's worthless. Let's see. Someone straight to the point. >> Oh, Jessica said, >> I don't want to know how they woke up. >> They've decreased in quality and flavor. Oh, this is kind of a sensible review, I guess. The chicken was overly salty, probably because they are frying in overly used oil. That's a very That's a baseless accusation. That's very That's very mean to say they don't change their oil. >> It could be they caught them on a bad day. Maybe. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, maybe. >> This is my theory, though. This is my theory. I think their quality of what they can make at home is way better. >> Are you even able to review at this point? We never ate because the wait was entirely too long. >> That's tough. >> You don't even know what you missed.
9:12 >> That happens a lot, too. >> Daniel S is no profile. The host was rude. >> Oh, he's taking pictures of booty. >> Taking booty shots. I joined the weight list at 10:18 a.m. and was told it was 3 to 4 hour wait. They're all LA folks. >> Shout out to the 66. >> 3 to 4 hour wait in the morning. Damn >> Elena. >> But then who's >> it's a popular restaurant. Of course, there's just some less restaurants you have to wait in line forever for. It just happens. >> But just because for a lot of people though, if the wait is like 3 hours, they're going to be like they're going to judge that food like 20 times as hard. >> True. you know, just because like, oh, I waited this long. What's the hype all about? >> But then when I wait that long, ████ food tastes so good. I'm thankful. And then later, I'm like, wait a minute, that ████ ████ was salty. [laughter] >> The fried chicken had no season.
10:03 >> No way. It's one of the best seasoned chicken I've ever had. >> That's what she said. >> This is my This is my theory behind it. Their quality of food is just way on a different level that they could make at home or whatever. So then they compare it >> to that because I can only compare it to other soul food restaurants and I've had almost all of them here in Vegas and I've had a lot of them in LA >> and then I'm thinking that >> like I'm comparing it to that I'm compared to other restaurants >> to your grandma's cooking or whatever. They [clears throat] probably they might I read a few reviews where it's like don't don't waste your money just make it at home. And I'm like I can't [laughter] >> I don't know how. >> But also too it's like you know for a lot of these complaints and this is common in restaurants where if the food was cold right and you have a problem
10:53 with it you have to tell them right then and there. They could probably fix that for you. >> Hot. >> Yeah. Mine was too hot. >> And they gave us extra pieces. >> Yeah they gave us extra pieces >> because we waited. I was even cool. I when someone came out, they're like, "Okay, three piece chicken." And I was like, "Oh, I think I got the wrong plate." They're like, "Why?" And I'm like, "I have an extra wing. There's four pieces." And they're like, "That's yours. We gave you an extra one cuz the wing's so small." And I'm like, "That's a standard wing, bro." Like, "So that means like >> maybe they were treating us different." >> You think it's cuz we're Asian or you think it's cuz we're >> Asians have a stereotype of tipping better? They're like, "Oh, they'll tip more." >> You said 20% off the top though, you know? >> Yeah. We're locked in. There's We're going to get We're going to have to tip no matter what. >> But I even without you guys there, I went there eating alone. Whatever. It's They've been ████ cool every single time. Yeah. So, this is why I'm just
11:44 like I don't know what people expect. I don't know if I've been lucky with the coolest waiters. Um the only thing is it does take a long time. Like it takes a long time to cook. Sometimes I've been seated right away. It >> was faster than the other place you took me to. >> Oh, the wait for the line was longer. Huh. >> But the food came out way faster cuz the other place he took me to, it felt like they were >> doing like three times amount of food >> and like uh the the the wait time like 3x what we waited. So if we waited like let's say 10 15 minutes, it felt like we waited like 30 to 45 minutes at the other place. >> Also like black people have uh have gout and high cholesterol in their community and heart [clears throat] problem. So maybe they're eating too much salt and then they go to the place they're like, "Oh, there's not enough salt." I'm like, "You were putting too much."
12:34 >> So it's [laughter] their fault. It's some You got to look at the their whole profile. >> Go to clap back and write, "No, you season your food at home way too much. [laughter] >> That's why you have gout. >> Gout ass motherfucker." >> I didn't know about the salt, but I think the stereotype is black folks like their drinks super sweet. and they like a lot of sweet sweet flavor. >> There's already been a couple that I've read here that were complaining about everything and said, "But the sweet tea was good." [laughter] >> The sweet tea was really good, though. It was really good. >> And a lot of the reviews, they'll be like, "Yeah, but the food was was good." I ain't going to lie. Like the appetizers was good or whatever. >> I Yeah. >> Yeah. The time seemed to be the biggest thing that they're complaining about, like you said. >> Yeah. If they could get their time, >> if you're from up and you can't say ████ your food's terrible, dude. [laughter] What the hell? Michelle S.
13:25 >> Upland. >> I can't say ████ if you're from Upland. >> I've never had a rude host. >> Not once. So, I don't know what the ████ these people are talking about. >> You know how people go in, they already come in with attitude, right? And then the host is cl kind of cops back and then they go, "You're to the host because you're dealing with so many hangry people >> and like that's not easy, dude." Like, >> I work in food service and people are ████ ████ It makes it it makes it harder that you can smell it the whole time, bro. Imagine that. If you're hangry and you can smell all that stuff from outside, but the ████ they have to deal with, too. Like, so, okay, at the very end, right, they asked for me for my ID when I pulled out my credit card to pay >> and I was like, that to me tells me they'll they deal with so much fraud.
14:15 >> They had to write your name down on the receipt. They're like, "We're going to bring a notary in while you sign and and fingerprint your ████ thumb. >> Give you [laughter] a Bible. Swear this is your ████ card." >> That I'm like, "You go through all [laughter] and you go." That's so ████ up, dude. >> You swear you're not going to fraud us. >> Even ████ Denny's doesn't do that ████ >> I've never been to a restaurant where they've done that. >> Yeah, >> that's what it mean. That's what it probably means is that they >> Yeah, they got to match my car to the ID cuz so many people are ████ frauding them. I mean, to say that there's absolutely no flavor and no taste is that's ████ Like, that's insane. >> I mean, I don't know what she ate, but who who said that? >> A lot of people. Leverne said that. >> Then where in Henderson is better? You better tell me where in Henderson. I better go check it out. >> Yeah. Drop some recommendations. >> I don't think there's a Lolos in Henderson. >> Lolos. >> Guys, if you want some really good chicken and waffles, go support Lolos's.
15:07 Uh, don't believe the reviews. >> The wait is a little bit long though. [laughter] It is long. >> Some time off. >> It is long. >> Don't hold that against them cuz all good places have a wait. >> Yeah.
