Any publicity is good publicity. Guess we saw it coming true for the first time when this restaurant became even more popular after publicising its negative reviews. Foo Hua, a Chinese restaurant in Wanneroo, Perth, posted its flyer online that contained many reviews from customers - both positive and negative. Maybe it was the honesty displayed by the restaurant or the sheer novelty of the marketing idea, it happened to win people's hearts. The brutally honest flyer is making waves on the internet inspiring other restaurants to imbibe such transparency .
While a customer of the restaurant called it their 'only go-to restaurant', another snubbed its food as 'bland and tasteless'. The interesting flyer with varied comments definitely makes for an amusing read. A picture of the flyers was posted on the Reddit group "mildlyinteresting".
