I ordered a chicken bowl at Poulet Rouge and somehow left both hungry and confused. Let’s start with the portions… or should I say samples. I’ve seen more generous servings at a free Costco tasting booth. I asked for chicken and got what looked like it lost a fight with the scoop. The rice was playing hide and seek at the bottom, and I’m pretty sure the vegetables were there just for emotional support. Now the chicken itself? I don’t know what it went through, but it seemed just as tired as the employee serving it. Speaking of service — I felt like I was inconveniencing them by existing. No smile, no “hello,” just pure “please finish ordering so I can continue questioning my life choices” energy. I’ve had warmer interactions with self-checkout machines. And the best part? Paying full price for this experience. Honestly impressive. 1 star because the fork was decent quality and didn’t snap under pressure. Would I go back? Only if I lose a bet.
