On February 28, a post appeared on social media accusing restaurant 100 Huy Hanh (address 84 Le Thanh Tong Street, Pha Lai Ward, Chi Linh City, Hai Duong Province) of charging higher prices than usual when customers came to eat and drink.
According to the article, on February 27, a group of 17 tourists from Ha Long City entered the restaurant at 100 Huy Hanh for lunch.
According to the bill, the restaurant charged 900,000 VND for 3 plates of shrimp paste, 900,000 VND for 3 plates of fried goby fish, 900,000 VND for 3 plates of stir-fried buffalo, 1,050,000 VND for 3 plates of fried chicken, 1,200,000 VND for 3 bowls of catfish soup, 750,000 VND for 3 plates of snails stir-fried with banana and bean curd, and 150,000 VND for rice. Total bill was 5,850,000 VND for 17 people.
Information reflected on social network Facebook.
According to the feedback, eating such a cheap meal is expensive. Moreover, the shrimp is like the giant freshwater prawn but is only as small as a child's little finger. The snail and banana dish only has snails and bananas, no beans. The catfish soup is no different from frozen catfish and undercooked. The chicken dish is ordered for 1 chicken but when brought out it only fits on a small plate.
Regarding the incident, a representative of 100 Huy Hanh restaurant said that the restaurant does not overcharge customers.
"We bought river shrimp for 500,000 VND/kg, goby fish was also bought from fishing boats, all the food processed in the restaurant is from high-quality sources. When the group of guests came to eat, they asked for a plate and asked for the price.
When they finished eating, they paid and laughed happily. Even the tour leader made an appointment to meet us again in Ha Long. When we received the complaint, the restaurant was very tired," said the restaurant representative.
Speaking to reporters, a representative of the People's Committee of Pha Lai ward said that immediately after receiving the feedback, the authorities went to the restaurant to check and verify.
"Initial inspection results show that the restaurant did not "rip off" customers. The group of guests and the restaurant had an agreement and paid, but someone posted it after returning home," the representative said.
It is known that the People's Committee of Chi Linh City has issued a document directing the inspection and verification of feedback to ensure consumer rights and seriously rectify illegal business activities.
