Chinese restaurant without Chinese...

Japan is quite annoying in the way that no one speaks English. That might be...expected, but if you go to a well-known Chinese restaurant, based in Hong Kong, you would also expect that they would have somebody who actually spoke Cantonese or Mandarin.

Sweet Dynasty in Aoyama is such an example. It's been so long since I've had decent Cantonese food that I thought I'd try to ask them what else they served besides dessert. Unfortunately, they were so frightened when asked if they spoke English or Chinese. The reply was, "No, sorry we don't speak English or Chinese". What?...
