Beware of Pango's

Body: 

Here is an article by the statesman today about Pango's on Congress. Sorry to post something so negative, but it mattered to me, so I figured it might matter to some of you...

I went to Pango's all the time with my girlfriends and of course had been in the women's restroom there numerous times. In fact we were all going to meet there last night until one of us cuaght the news bite. I am really disgusted that someone would do this and angry.[list][/list:u]

I wonder if it is closed down for good? It looks like it is only temporarily closed? What a jerk(off) of an owner!

I don't subscribe to the paper so I couldn't read it, although I'd like to, if you wouldn't mind copying and pasting. I used to eat at that restaurant frequently and really enjoyed the food and late hours. I actually recommended it to friends and was on my way down there when a reporter from KVUE told me what happened and interviewed me. I was digusted and slightly embarrassed that I'd asked my friends to meet me there. Now I just hope he recorded for personal use and not the internet.

[color=black][size=18px]Restaurant owner charged with taping women in restroom[/size] [size=18px]Police say camera equipment discovered by patron[/size] [size=12px]By Tony Plohetski AMERICAN-STATESMAN STAFF Thursday, January 22, 2004[/size] Austin police have charged the owner of a downtown restaurant with improper photography after investigators said he videotaped patrons using the women's restroom and employees changing clothes. Bail was set at $10,000 for Chien-Jui Kuo, who police said owns Pango Tea Bar at 718 Congress Ave. According to a warrant filed Wednesday, a customer found a camera pointed at the toilet and sink area hidden in a plant, covered with a black cloth. The customer then told the restaurant's bar manager, who found the camera and saw that its power was on. She and the restaurant manager found a power cord leading inside a padlocked closet, broke the lock and discovered that the camera was plugged into an electrical outlet. Employees told police that Kuo has a camera receiver in his office, connected to a television, the affidavit said. The employees confronted Kuo, who acknowledged that the camera belonged to him, police said.[/color]

I can't remember if we went there when it was Pangos but we love what is there now, Silhouette. Give it a try. Ren
