Ayesha Curry's new restaurant in Houston, International Smoke, has not even opened it's doors yet and the establishment is already getting flooded with 1-star Yelp reviews.
For instance, several salty Rockets fans have left Yelp reviews such as:
"This is absolutely the worst place to go - her husband ripped our hearts out and now she has the guts to open up a place here?? I would never set foot in this place even if it was the last place on earth. P.S. This restaurant is full of snakes"
"first and foremost, i would like to start off by saying... how dare you bring this mess to houston. we are good, we do not need this negativity..I can already taste the blandness of the food. This establishment might serve us dusty water and moldy lemons. Ayesha, just pack up your restaurant and be going. You are not welcome in H town. Please save us the trouble and just DONT like Bryson tiller said.... with that being said, The Warriors suck. GO ROCKETS"
"BBQ was extremely chewy and a choking hazard. Of the 4 pieces of beef I ate, I chocked on 3 and was only able to finish 1."
Golden State Warriors fans have since taken to Yelp in an effort to combat the negative reviews by leaving their own 5-star comments. With 200+ reviews already listed, the yet-to-be-opened restaurant has an average of 2.5/5 stars.
According to International Smoke's website, the place is inspired by Ayesha Curry and Michael Mina's own individual heritage and travels, as well as their collective vision on how different cultures use fire, grilling, and smoke to create flavorful dishes that bring communities together all around the world. The restaurant description reads, "By incorporating authentic cooking traditions with spices and quality products, International Smoke features elevated dishes that take people on a journey to distant places."
