Sometimes that’s also the best spot though. The table that’s basically the server’s office during slow hours. That lets you just be human with them and learn the origin story of every cook in the kitchen. Eventually if you’re a regular you’ll even get free food.
In Taiwan, at a hot pot place called Haideilao, if you eat solo, they put a oversize stuffed mascot across from you so you’re not eating alone.
I think I might be more comfortable eating with a giant stuffed mascot as opposed to eating alone.
I think I might not.
Wow…I read back my comment and I noticed I somehow had a stroke and wrote it backwards lmao.
I meant I’d rather eat alone!!! Dunno wtf happened there!
More likely sleep deprivation. This place pulls for that. Not sleeping is my regretful jam.
…is there someone inside the stuffed mascot? Because otherwise wouldn’t you still be eating alone?
That’s a thing on mainland China too. Apparently some of them think eating alone with a big stuffed animal in the middle of a restaurant is a thing of nightmares too.
Is this spot fine?
Clearly it isn’t.
Of course, thank you!
Eating on the roof would be a dope experience, especially late at night.
In the middle of winter
In an active war zone
Average Ukraine experience
At least we’re getting pretty fireworks while we’re at it
And I heard it’s pretty cheap to stay there atm.
Next to a water treatment plant.
Uphill both ways

In an active war zone.
Cozying up to the HVAC system.
I usually suggest, I can eat at the bar (if they have one)
