  • Deplorable

On Sunday, August 3, 2014, at approximately 1:15 p.m., I entered Quan Yin's Vegetarian Restaurant with two of my friends. After choosing a table that would accommodate the three of us, a waitress approached with a stack of menus and abruptly dropped all of them on the table. This puzzled me initially, as we only needed three menus. After sitting, talking some and deciding what each of us would order, we waited for the waitress to return. She didn't. After about 15 minutes a group of three Asian individuals entered the restaurant, were politely seated, and given menus. Their beverage order taken was promptly taken and the waitress retreated to the kitchen. We continued to sit in silence, but no server ever approached our table. After a time, we simply left. I have visited Quan Yin's Vegetarian Restaurant on several occasions, and I regret to state that this experience has been more the rule than the exception. Admittedly, the food is excellent and the prices very reasonable, but the service (for people of color) is deplorable. If you happen to be Caucasian or Asian you will find the experience rewarding. This is not an unfounded charge of racial discrimination- it is in fact an observation. Fortunately, there are several other vegan restaurants in Houston from which to choose.
