To add to their difficulties, the head sushi chef quit, taking three other staff employees with him. With every penny they own invested in the business, Frank and Vivian refused to give up.

Unfortunately, these days the party appears to be over. Business has declined, as fewer and fewer customers come in to eat, drink or socialize with May. With a personal investment in the business, she is too scared to look at her numbers, and does not know the true extent of the difficulties, but an empty restaurant is a sure sign that things are bleak. Is it May's big personality, or her big menu that is turning people off? Is it too late for Ching to rein in May's party-girl ways and to focus her on running a restaurant rather than having fun? Online, find Ching's web-exclusive guides to Chinese cooking. Ching has helped dozens of professional chefs revitalize their Asian food and run-of-the-mill establishments; imagine what she can do for you! Join the conversation at #RestaurantRedemption.
