Authorities in Nghia Giang commune, Quang Ngai province, launched an investigation into the B.C. restaurant following allegations of excessive meal charges. The dispute was initiated by a driver, Mr. Tran Cong Duc, who reported that a meal for four people cost 640,000 VND. The driver alleged that the establishment failed to display prices or inform staff of costs prior to ordering. An interdisciplinary inspection team subsequently reviewed the establishment and identified specific violations, including a mustard green soup dish being sold at 10,000 VND above its listed price and a boiled chicken dish that was not included on the restaurant’s price list. The restaurant owner, Ms. Tran Thi Minh Trinh, defended the costs, asserting that the 300,000 VND charge for the chicken was reasonable due to the use of high-cost, free-range poultry. ~~However, officials have recorded~~ Following the ~~identified violations and are proceeding with~~ investigation, the Nghia Giang Commune People's Committee issued an administrative ~~sanctions.~~ fine of over 8.2 million VND to the owner of the Ba Chin restaurant. The penalties were issued for failing to post prices and for selling goods at prices higher than those listed. The owner is required to rectify pricing displays and refund excess amounts collected from customers. Ms. Trinh has since issued a public apology on social media, expressing regret and a commitment to improving service quality to regain public trust.
