Review of

Just ate here tonight with a corporate group. Started ordering at 6:40 the first two things we ordered were apparently sold out. Sold out 6:40 pm on Friday which would be one of the busiest nights of the week for any restaurant (no brains) secondly the service was absolutely discussing . The grilled chicken I ordered was simple but nice all the other food especially the pizzas were revolting . Worst thing is time to pay the bill. I paid for the table 1600 RMB they told me they only except cash NO CREDIT CARDS and then when I asked for a receipt they told me they cannot give me a receipt tonight and that I must come back on another night to pick it up. In other words the boss is operating a dirty, dodgy business if I can even call it that.
Never will I return to this @&$@hole of a place.
Not recommended at all. Take your hard earned cash and give it to a proper legit restaurant.

Sounds like The Tree has gone down that same fateful slippery slope of so many other once successful businesses that cater to foreigners, cutting corners and letting their service slide into the gutter.

We'll see how long they can survive off their previously favorable reputation.

There are plenty of other places to get a pizza/salad/beer these days.

How about you fax that offer to my publicist? And we'll flush it down the toilet in front of you and see if it floats.

I've noticed it seems to be all the restaurants in the Sanlitun houjie area play the fapiao run-around game. "Come back tomorrow for the fapiao" or "We've run out of fapiaos."

Which both obviously translate into "FK you, no fapiao!"

And not accepting credit cards at a place where ppl rack up 1600 kuai dinner bills? How do they get away with it? There's gotta be some serious mafia shit running the show down there. Not to mention all the drug dealing, prostitution and violence that goes unchecked. If cities had assholes, SLT backsteet would be Beijing's.

Good commentary Sciency. I recently moved to Sanlitun area (outside the maelstrom a bit) and don't spend much time on that backstreet area, but I couldn't believe the open drug dealing by individuals that would stand out anywhere in Asia. Hey, could it be more "in your face"?
