The dishes Belair included in her tweet were the Orange Beef, which is apparently “not THAT good” compared to the restaurant’s General Tao Chicken and the Sweet and Spicy pork strips, of which the owner is “not a huge fan” because it’s different than the version he ate when he went to university in China.

“It’s very, very good for our business,” Fei told 오늘.

Fei said that he started writing the descriptions because customers were unfamiliar with some of the traditional items on the menu and would order things they ended up not actually wanting.

“The whole idea is just to let people know what they’re ordering,” he told Today. “A lot of people found it very funny [과] very helpful. I was so encouraged by them. I didn’t think I needed to write comments for each item, but I was encouraged by them, their comments, and their feedback, so I finished all of them.”
