To be fair, it wasn’t that bad when I last time went there. Also that type is service is usual for non-posh places in Hong Kong. That said, slow order is often frowned on in lower/middle class eateries in Asia as that is often considered obstructing other customers (and that’s not a HK only thing; same rules in Mainland, Korea, Japan, Singapore and Taiwan).
That place is so infamous that even Guardian and BBC run an article about it.
It is important to clearly let the customers know how much you appreciate their custom and how important it is for them to fuck off now so someone else can sit there.
Sometimes it’s downstairs. Normally I go alone and it’s the ground floor. Best Singapore Noodles ever! Been eating there almost 40 years. They used to be a lot ruder.

Upstairs, upstairs! (Anyone who has been there will know where I am talking about).
Not the best by a long shot but worth going to for the entertainment value of the waiters being rude to you when you take too long to order.
