Raging restaurateur scorches diners over mild…
The exchange was spicier than the sauce.
A restaurant buyer in Tulum, Mexico, was spit-roasted by the saucy proprietor after leaving them a lukewarm review on Google — with the brass telling her to open her “own restaurant,” per a viral X post.
“We will not be listening to you because we don’t cater your tastes,” harrumphed the eatery’s brass in their fiery response. “How about have some respect.”
The Post reached out to the restaurant for remark.
“How about open your own restaurant and [we] will see what your food taste[s] like?” fumed the proprietor of Wang Tulum (pictured). @wangtulum/Instagram
The exchange went down after the patron, named Anvita Kotha, had visited Wang Tulum, a Chinese restaurant and espresso store specializing in pan-Chinese from dumplings drenched in chili oil to Biang Biang Mian — a noodle dish hailing from Xian.
The hole-in-the wall has turn into a fixture online, boasting an spectacular 4.7 out of 5 stars over practically 600 reviews.
However, Kotha was not practically as impressed with Wang Tulum, which she slapped with a tepid 3 stars.
“We ordered the dan dan noodles and the dumplings in chili oil,” wrote the reviewer. “Frankly, it wasn’t spicy and not our cup of tea. I wouldn’t say that it’s bad food, but it also wasn’t spicy despite getting extra chili oil and even adding salt.”

Of course, not all the feedback have been adverse from Kotha, who is an element of Google’s Local Guide program, which permits customers to write reviews, share pictures and examine information on Google Maps to improve usability.
“They use premium matcha powder for their latte and that was pretty great!” she noticed.
While Kotha’s retrospective was pretty mild, it nonetheless didn’t sit effectively with the proprietor, who went scorched-earth on her in a response.
“I didn’t know we had to have a requirement that our chili oil needed to be spicy?” snarked the nameless dumpling home honcho. “Oh Anvita is coming let’s cater to her because she’s some Google guide!!! Hurry make spicy chili oil!!!”
Kotha felt that chili oil was a bit mild for her style.
They steered that the shopper will not be always proper and that eating places are allowed to cater to the style of the homeowners and not just the shoppers.
“That’s the point of the restaurant owners make food they love and want to share that love to the community thats how it should be,” they fumed in their rebuttal. “We didn’t wake up and think let’s cater our dishes to these self-entitled people.”
The incensed restaurateur claimed that they needed to make their dishes “balanced” reasonably than spicy need to keep away from complaints from Google reviewers. They then boasted that they promote “ceremonial matcha” because they need to have the best matcha and that ought to let you know what their “standards” are.
“How about open your own restaurant and [we] will see what your food taste[s] like?” the restaurant boss challenged.
Online reviewers felt his response was a bit of an overreaction. “Wow that’s actually insane lol,” said one X poster, while another wrote, “Owner seems like a d–k, anyone that can’t take any criticism should grow up.”
Some even said the lambasting made them need to go to the restaurant with one fan gushing, “I’d see a response like this and actually go to the restaurant because of it.”
Coincidentally, hitting back at reviewers seems to be the proprietor’s bread and butter. They notably ripped one patron who gave them 4 stars for complaining about the alleged lack of gluten-free noodles, calling the critic “dishonest” and accusing them of having “no vision or direction in life.”
“Go look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself ‘how am I so lame?’” the noodle monger declared.
The proprietor also laid into a local named Paulo who vented about the so-called paltry noodle parts and steered that they be taught to take criticism better if they need to keep open.
“Let me guess we should fall to our knees and say sorry sorry sorry….here’s my phone number let me make it up to you,” snarked the proprietor. “umm nope sorry Paulo you can go F Off.”
“If you actually cared about constructive criticism you would speak to the owner instead of hiding,” they added. “Bye we serve to the best of Tulum and to all the amazing people who grind every day making this place special, Wang was created for you all!! Wang Wang Wang Gang Gang Gang.”
This isn’t the first restaurant proprietor to go viral for turning the tables on a reviewer.
In October, a snarky restaurant proprietor savaged a disgruntled diner who complained about discovering a “whole bay leaf” in their dish, claiming that it was a signal they make their food “from scratch.”
