You mess with a Quoc, you get the Trong Tran.

Never. Forget. That.

YOU GO NOW!

This is going to be a great episode of Kitchen Nightmares.

"No! No "and then!!"

"The car was coming right for me as I shot a hole in the trunk. It was kill or be killed!"

What a Quoc.

What do you expect? The customer wanted Siamese and got Tabby instead.....

iheartscotch: YOU GO NOW!

Hickory what? Smoked what?

Wuss-ub-B?
Bus a cop inna you ass!

I guess he went...

*removes sunglasses*

... With a bang.

I Like Shiny Things: Asian people are the salt of the earth.

And you know what salt does to the earth.

Am I the only one who thought that people going to a Japanese restaurant run by the 'Tran' family was the most shocking part of the article?

Meatybrain: You really can't judge the man until you wok a mile in his shoes...Empty a clip from his gun

FTFY

If he hadn't missed he could just claim that he was standing his ground.

Asian-food-causing-violence trifecta in play?

Ah, a Japanese themed restaurant run by a Vietnamese fellow...

It's about as silly as an Italian restaurant run by someone with a name like Fritz Strauss.

I know some really good Chinese restaurants around Dallas, run by actual Chinese. And the Korean place is run by Koreans. And all the McDonalds' and Popeye's you need to speak spanish to get decent service.

"That Vietnamese sushi will lay you out, man."

Follow them outside, get license plate #, call cops and report. Was that so hard? I like vigilante justice as much as the next guy, but theft of services does not give you carte blanche to shoot people because you felt oppressed, slighted, or inconvenienced.

Restaurant owner sounds like the love child of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Ted Nugent.

JohnAnnArbor: You never see combined Korean/Japanese places. At least I haven't.

I've never been to a Korean restaurant in the United States that DOESN'T serve sushi.

Very one-sided report. My guess is the other side goes something like this: Utter asshat of a customer (his twitter handle is DadyMacPimp, yes really) acts like a prick in the restaurant to a point where the owner asks him to leave. Asshat then tries to leave without paying, and owner stands behind his car so he can't back out and leave before police arrive. Asshat customer then tries to run owner over so owner fires round downwards into car to tell the punk to stop before he kills somebody.

The "victims" look like utter losers; owner employs people and pays taxes. By the time the dust settles owner will get charged with criminal mischief for damaging the guy's car, tops. Daddy who gave asshat the Volvo will pay to get it fixed.

Today's special...

.38!

Fark sushi.
If you charge $6.95 for a serving of 2 cents rice, 20 cents unprepared fish, and 10 cents seaweed that tastes so vile you have to drown it in soy sauce, colored horseradish, and pickled ginger, you should be the one being shot at.
But, hey... you know... sake bombs!

You left out the part where he tells the Vietnamese owner of the Japanese place to "go back to China."

MAU! MAU! DIDI MAU!

This is what happens when Vietnamese people run a Japanese restaurant.

Hey, you f*cking order a meal and eat it, you pay for it, no matter what the quality. You ate your meal, right?

I've eaten at some pretty crappy Ameri-asian restaurants. You pay for what you ordered and you leave. And you don't come back (that's called your "dollar vote").

They're no different from somebody trying to rob the place. I'd shoot 'em too...or maybe I'd just call the cops and wait the 126 minutes for them to arrive while locking the perps in the freezer for the time being.

God, that sounds like a lot of work. OK, just shoot 'em.

Fluorescent Testicle: iheartscotch: YOU GO NOW!

Hickory what? Smoked what?

You been here four hour

Castle Doctrine?

Way to buck the stereotype there, Quoc.

No, I noticed that, too.

Every once in a while you'll see a combined Chinese/Japanese restaurant. I don't get that, given the history of the last hundred years.

You never see combined Korean/Japanese places. At least I haven't.

Tokyo Seoul in Pullman WA. for one.

DaCaptain19: Hey, you f*cking order a meal and eat it, you pay for it, no matter what the quality. You ate your meal, right?

From what I understand (too lazy to go back and look) the one person actually didn't eat it. So that sounds pretty reasonable really, I mean if it was nasty enough that they wouldn't even eat it...ya.

I'm Canadian. I once tried to open an Irish/Scottish/English/German/Chinese/Aboriginal/Scandinavian/Russian/ African restaurant restaurant and I had to quit while I was ahead. All the people applying to be wait staff kept knifing each other in the waiting room on interview day.

But they were so, so gorgeous.

Every restaurant owner dreams of taking a pot shot at a customer. Haven't done it yet, but I have 15-20 years until I retire.

Wait, were they Canadians??

I can't imagine ever refusing to pay for a meal I ordered, even if I didn't like it. That's just rude. Unless the food is on fire, has a severed finger in it, dead rat, might make me sick, etc.

I doubt the whole family suddenly went crazy for no reason.

I think that's just because Korean places aren't as ubiquitous as Chinese places. Yeah, I usually avoid combos though, it just sounds like they couldn't possibly be marketing to anyone but clueless white people who think all of Asia is the same.

We have one in town. You can get sushi or tempura or udon with some bibim bat. I has the love for it.

1966. Kowloon. Out of the Peninsula Hotel, around the corner, walk about 2 blocks: "Joe's Italian Restaurant". "Where's Joe?". Need I continue?
