I was not allowed to take photos there while having my birthday dinner with my husband this summer but recently I found that others shared their cuisine pictures on the Instagram and what they had was exactly what we had at the restaurant. It disappointed me very deeply. Either Japanese or Chinese posted pics to share their happiness during dinner here but I did not have the right to do so. Is this a discrimination?
