- She said that location has been struggling the last two years because of construction. She thinks developers underestimate the damage they’re causing to the locals.
Imagine how those of us that grew up here feel.
The lack of ability to recognize the irony of people that moved here a decade ago complaining about the changes caused by the ones who moved here in the last few years, implies that they can't imagine how we feel.
@@paulstevens7528 all these transplants and tourists have ruined the once little city of Nashville I was born and raised in. When they complain about how things are here, I immediately become disabled with deafness 🧏
Exactly
That restaurant is definitely not an original here in Nashville it's a new one. . .
The east Nash one is always empty and there food is sub par their service even worse. When I went there we were the only people in the place aside from some women that said they worked for some bullshit food blog. They missed multiple things we ordered which idk how you do considering you order at the front and they put it in the computer as your telling them. Didn't check on things once had to get up to tell someone they missed things then they didn't even offer to replace it lol. They came out plenty of times for the "bloggers" tho. complaining about having too many people as potential customers is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. Fix your own business first.
Imagine complaining
Otaku Ramen has done this a few times on NC5 😂 I have my doubts about her ramen. In all probability, it’s several tiers below what you can get in Japan. American ramen restaurants are notoriously bad, and are generally frowned upon by Asian tourists and Asian American citizens, the people who know what actual good ramen entails.
I don’t bother. I stick to my artisan, gourmet instant ramen cooked on the stove top, or worse, in the microwave 😂
"Waah too many customers, stop paying for my food"
Otaku Ramen is trash, the broth is so salty. I went to the one by Franklin and it was empty because the ramen was expensive and no good. If you want to attract customers make the ramen better.
Understanding her concerns, you can’t legislate the free and open market of TN to cater to what you believe your rent should be. If you produce a great product with consistently and good customer service, perhaps it’s time to raise the prices on your existing menu and/or provide a higher end product justifying a higher premium. If your customers don’t accept the price hikes for some ramen, it may be time to relocate outside of the city, or in an area of Nashville with lower property taxes and rent.
Business is competitive. You adapt and survive the change, or you accept defeat and close or move. Only the best restaurants will survive in Nashville. And that’s a good thing for consumers. Food quality has drastically improved in Nashville. I love that change! Out with the bad or mediocre restaurants, and in with the places that deserve our money.
A union or some bill isn’t the answer. Besides, good luck doing that in TN, a state known for free and open markets. TN is anti-over regulation. California, NY, Illinois or whatever will be happy to have you.
If the ramen business venture fails, don’t blame TN laws, your rent, or anything else. The blame is yours and yours only.
Bye Felicia 👋
This isn't the first time she has been interviewed about her complaints concerning Nashville's growth. As I recall, the last time around, she mentioned in her interview that she lived in California before moving to Tennessee.
@@paulstevens7528Yes. I have listened to her prior complaints. She wants to implement failed legislation in this state. Thankfully, our representatives will prevent that. And I am coming from a moderate, centrist, bipartisan position.
This is an area where I side with conservatives on.
@@RabbitWatchShop I haven't tried their ramen (the prices on their website were more than I was willing to consider paying for what they were offering), but I have heard from a couple sources that their main problem is that they don't know the meaning of customer service. I don't see how unhappy customers led to a conclusion that legislation is needed to protect the restaurant.
Even as I agree with your statement to some extent Felicia, I don't think it's either black or white. Free markets work and have proven to lift whole countries up from poverty but when it comes to cities and the culture in them, I don't think you can be that cold about them. We agree that there are buildings that need historic preservation because of their aesthetics, history or else, if we tore down every old building we'd be left with no history. If everyone would send their old cars to the junkyard there wouldn't be classic cars reunions which many people enjoy. The same applies to old establishments and restaurants, they're part of the history of a place and some of them deserve help. This doesn't mean everyone deserve it and most probably not the lady on this video, but I don't think the "out with the old , in with the new" mentality is always right. Hoping to hear your thoughts :) Victor
@@vicc_2298 Nashville actually has laws that encourage sending old cars to the junkyard. One of them was lobbied for by used car lots that apparently did not want people having old cars in their driveway as projects to 'fix up' as time and budget allowed. That is a bad law, and a law passed to protect this woman's restaurant, particularly since she herself is part of the problem she is complaining about, would also be a bad law.
She seems insufferable.
Plenty of money to make you just gotta beat out the competition.
So what does she want? Cheaper rent?
Gotta have a competitive edge instead of complaining about growth. Be better, not restraining
Come to Gallatin❤️
She’s has many complaints she has told NC5 more than once. You can have her.
😂
@danielgirl283 do not I courage any more business's to come to G town.. we already have an extremely overabundence of restaurants here
Yeah it’s because it’s over priced and mediocre.. not really about over saturation .. places right around the corner are packed doing what this place is doing but better. Sorry not sorry
