Good cheap banh mis for sure, but over the years I've been turned off by the attitude I always seem to get from the big guy at the register...

I felt that way too, but one night I was chilling on the patio at Dahlak and I saw him at a table, drinking with four or five friends and he had the exact same attitude. I think he just looks that way regardless of how he's feeling or whether he likes you or not.

I hear ya. I’ve been going in regularly for years and I’m always kind, he’s a bit stoic — at first I thought it was me, but it’s just how he is! Now I find it brings charm to the place. It’s part of the experience. I still get everything I want/need, and he expedites the process if anything. And when I DO get a smile, it makes my day even better!

As an autistic person who frequents Fu Wah, I actually love that this guy is always so stoic. Very predictable checkout experiences and no pressure to chat or follow confusing social scripts. It’s super comforting to me and makes me feel more at ease shopping there.
