A Chinese restaurant known as Chi Chi located on 21B, Emina Crescent, Off Toyin Street, Ikeja, Lagos is currently undergoing investigation after a couple of social media users called out the management of the restaurant for not selling to Nigerians.
A director at the Ikeja, Lagos-based Shi Shi Chinese Restaurant has said that the outlet caters to only gentlemen, rather than to everyone.
He added that, globally, Chinese restaurants are never open to “every Tom, Dick and Harry.”
The restaurant director, who introduced himself as Mr. Niyi Adegbite claims there are two sections in the restaurant — a regular one and one that is strictly for Chinese.
When asked how the restaurant defines a gentleman, Adegbite said, “The restaurant is divided into two sections. There is one open to the public and there is one called Hot Spot.
PUNCH Correspondent maintained that he was not allowed to step into the restaurant, as he was turned back at the entrance to the premises.
He added that he had only heard of two sections from Mr. Adegbite.

It’s a big lie to say that Chinese restaurant all over the world doesn’t open to every dick and harry,please come and see here in London the type of people going to eat in Chinese restaurants. Their restaurants are even counted among the cheapest here,some certain people will not even bother to enter there to eat because of the cheaper and less quality food they serve. But in Nigeria they are treated like kings because some certain set of people believe Chinese restaurants are for big people,nonsense

Why will any Nigerian go to a Chinese restaurant in Nigeria, what are you going there to eat. It is a known fact that Chinese restaurants owners collects food stuffs that has been thrown away by super markets and that's why their food are cheap. If you like to eat dead and aborted babies you can go to Chinese restaurants. You are free to Google it for facts.

Have vacationed in china ,and I can tell u these pigs are the most irritating creature on earth .They spit in restaurant ,fart in public places ,kids are allowed to poop in kitchen ,in restaurant,supermarket just name it .In fact ,the air quality was so bad that it was red flagged as dangerous and unhealthy for every living thing .And for u guys information,the wealthy Chinese families don’t or not happy to reside in China as they flock like sardines migration to diff parts of the world .Now ask the question if living in their society is perfect why would they be flocking in their millions to other parts of the world despite their riches .Dont misunderstand me dude ,I’m takking of the very little fragment among Chinese ,the majority of Chinese are poor ,it’s same as in our society where we have the majority poor .But then in We African society ,the rich Africans won’t seek redress to relocate finally to a diff country Bcax we enjoy Africa natural environment,but in the case of the Chinese the wealthy ones run marathon out of China to settle elsewhere and that’s bcax the society stink like a shithole.These r people who won’t shower for four months ,imagine ? I did whole lots of research on Chinese life and Chinese economy power but despite all of their suffering to riches story ,the average Chinese still lives in abject poverty and dirty than a swine .The rich amonng them are not exceptional in this dirtiness.It is a culture in China .People don’t brush their teeth ,no shower ,no decency ,no manner ,no culture ,no respect ,very rude society and aggressive .In fact ,it’s the most ridiculous society have found myself ever .After collecting all these information,I realized why in the Western Hemisphere they r referred to as PIGs

Nigerians should not accommodate such ignoramus behavior in our own country. The Chinese people have never been superior to Nigerians. In the seventies and eighties, we used to stigmatize them with their funky tar and dirty smell - like rotten egg mixed with Tabu cologne. We used to reject and turn down anything made in China - all of their commodities were treated as inferior and worthless. Even now, with all their economic power, an average Nigerian is still 200 times happier and livelier than a Chinese millionaire. Personally, I stopped eating Chinese restaurant five years ago due to their dirty lavatories. Just go there and check out the build-up urine cone around their urinals and commodes. Check out their air vents and overhead lights - never been cleaned dust debris hanging from the ceilings. Check out their baseboards, dirt and dirty mop waters and cleaning agents have changed the colors to unidentifiable ones. Check out their grout - dingy, discovered with dirt and food debris. Look at the cups - chopped and discolored. Please Nigerians, watch what you eat and where you eat.

Chinese foods in general are rich in sodium (salt) which increases high blood pressure and damage your kidneys. The risks of stroke are there too. Avoid them at all costs.
