The management at this location deserves zero stars. If you are using a coupon, be prepared to be misled and treated poorly.
We used a Starving Student coupon before at the Provo location without any issues. This time, we used the same coupon at the Orem location. The deal clearly states Buy 1 entrée, get 1 free (saving $17.99), as shown in the screenshots.
We ordered two half-chicken entrées. The cashier scanned the coupon, charged us, and told us the wait time would be about 20 minutes. At no point were we told there were any restrictions.
After waiting 20 minutes, the cashier brought out the food and then informed us that “the boss’s mom said” that because we used a coupon, we were only allowed ¼ chicken, not half. This was never disclosed when we ordered, and directly contradicts both the coupon and our previous experience at the Provo location. We were told this was a “new rule.”
This is misleading, dishonest, and false advertising.
I asked to speak directly with the boss’s mom, but she refused to come out and instead hid in the kitchen, sending the employee to act as a mediator. We were then told she “doesn’t speak English.” Ironically, my husband speaks Spanish and suddenly she was “too busy” to speak to us at all. This is an unacceptable way to treat customers.
The cashier at the front was the only helpful and professional person there. She even disagreed with the situation, but could not approve a refund without a manager. She had to call twice before we finally received our refund.
Bottom line:
If you don’t want to honor a deal, don’t offer it. This is false advertising and completely unethical. Hiding in the kitchen instead of addressing customers is unprofessional and embarrassing for a business.
This restaurant should either honor the Starving Student deal as advertised or remove it entirely. I’m posting this so others don’t go through the same experience. I will not support a business that operates like this.
This review will also be sent directly to the restaurant’s management team and to Starving Student’s management.
I’ve been here multiple times now and I absolutely love the food, it’s tasted great every time… but the customer service is horrendous every time. There’s usually a younger gal working the counter, who acts like it’s a problem to take your order. She was legit FaceTiming her friend one time while taking my order lol. They constantly take forever to get you your food (which for the portion size, is ridiculous).
Needless to say, each time I’ve been in here, the service is horrible. If you’re gonna constantly be behind on getting orders ready.. the least you could do is be kind to your customers and do it with a smile. Not asking much. I’d say stay away from this location and go to the Provo one instead.
We got the Tallarin Saltado with steak and the Arroz Chaufa with chicken. The Saltado tasted good but wasn’t anything special. The fettuccine noodles were super basic and really brought down the quality of the dish. The steak was cooked to well done and I wish I could’ve had something closer to medium rare. The onions were perfect, unlike the last Saltado dish I had though. The Chaufa seemed like basic fried rice. Nothing special and I’d probably ordering something with more flavor.
Overall, I would probably give a 3.5 star if I could but this was seemingly just a basic meal, with basic ingredients, with not enough flavor, and a price tag slightly too high to justify what you get.
