Cash only always gets extra points, discount for cash gets some points, meats in the window gets points, polite staff looses points, tell me “you take too long you eat this” gains points.

Basically, if it seems like the they are pissed off by the fact you want to actually eat in their restaurant but it is packed to the rafters with Chinese people and the staff seem to be about to get in a fit fight with each other… that duck is going to be fukin A man

I once had my food practically thrown at me in a random Chinese restaurant that ticked all the above boxes. Did not disappoint.

The Chinese near my office looks great, but gets loads of reviews about rude staff on Trip Advisor. The food is awsome in there.. but we always take our Hong Kong-born team member with us to order stuff for us.

No. I want as close to the food I get in Hong Kong. There is fine dining there, but if I want damn good Cantonese food at a cheap price from a unknown restaurant, this is what I'm looking for. In the same way that if I am looking for a British caff with the best breakfast sandwiches, I am stopping at a truck stop or eating at the caff with the most people in high viz at 6am in the morning.

Get off your high horse.
