Yeah, the owner's name is David. Like Eric said, the SSR is his and I actually put up an ad for him on the classified section for his black 6 series. We have known each other since high school, very cool guy. I like to go there when he is there because he will pick up my bill.... hahaha....

I am definitely down for a meet at Guppy. Let me know when, I will tell David to make sure he clear out the parking for us. They once had a huge Scion meet and he managed to have a security in place to block cars from parking the lot.
flip: Marc the C stands for Conspiracy, so its definitely not me! MARK is me.....

Guppy was a nice place when it opened. Decorations were nice, the food was adequate, the service was adequate.
Now that has all changed. While the giant shaved-ice is still there, all the food quality has decreased severely. The last 3 times that I ordered beef noodles, the noodles were never fully cooked. The rice is often dry and hard, and the drinks get sweeter everytime I go there.
Now the service is absolutely crappy now. With the exception of a few of them who actually know what they're doing, the rest simply can't take orders, can't serve food, and don't know their priorities. I was asked to pick up my own drinks at the counter TWICE on 2 different visits. It takes 15 minutes for them to go grab my check from the cashier.
Another time I waited 40 minutes for my to-go-order on popcorn chicken. I asked them after 30 minutes of waiting, they said it's already been made.
David is a nice guy. He used to pick up checks for some of his friends. Then it turned into some 10% discount. Now all we get is extra condensed milk on the shaved-ice. At least he is still ok.
that's all. I don't go to Guppy now. There's no reason to. Overpriced, bad food, long wait, bad service. I don't even wanna look at the cars parked there anymore.

I respect your opinion. Actually I agree with you on a lot of things, from service to the food quality. I am going to talk to David tomorrow when we meet. One thing I can say is, last time when we met at his store, I complaint to him about price. He told me that the raw material has gone up quite much. I know his store uses absolutely REAL stuff when it comes to drinks. Therefore, compares to other chinese place who only uses syrup for flavors I would prefer to go to Guppy. Anyways, I think David will be open minded for suggestions.
