Why We Love Sweet Yams!
As far as their customer service goes, it is beyond compare. As stated in some of our previous food related blogs, Cristophe and I have very sensitive dietary intolerances that go way beyond gluten. Upon our first discovery of Sweet Yams, we messaged them ahead of ordering. This was to explain our needs upfront and inquire if there was anything safe for us on their menu. We’ve become accustomed to taking this precaution with multiple restaurants before and since. Sweet Yams’ response has remained the best by far.
They were truly aware of all of their ingredients, including the ingredients of their processed ingredients! Do you know how rare this is? At many of the other restaurants we’ve tried, staff assured us that one of their meals did not contain one of our intolerances. They thought this because they did not put that specific ingredient in there themselves. Yet, the sauce/dressing they bought and used to make that meal did! Our subsequent illnesses from trusting those places taught us never to again. The staff at Sweet Yams, however, really know their food! They even documented our needs to insure our health for every single meal we ever order.
This led to one of our favorite experiences with them to retell. We loved their food and trustworthiness so much, that we regularly ordered our favorite meals from them whenever we could afford it. This included their super tasty shrimp boy! Normally, the ingredients of this sauce are safe for us. However, one time, they had some supply issues and had to temporarily switch to making it with a different ingredient that included one of our intolerances. What did they do? Sweet Yams’ staff quickly notified us and even offered suggestions for their other sauces that were still safe for us. Also, once they were able to resume making their usual shrimp boy sauce, they notified us again, so that we could order and enjoy it once more!
