The owner of a local Vietnamese restaurant is grateful to the neighbourhood’s online support after she said it was targeted by a series of fake orders and negative reviews on the web from people who hadn’t even eaten there. LAN Restaurant received four large orders costing $350 in total, which no one ever came to pick up, said Lan Nguyen, the restaurant’s owner. The incidents, which took place over the last two weeks, were a first for the one-and-a-half-year-old Vietnamese restaurant on Queen St. E., near Broadview Ave.“It’s very rare for someone to order and not show up; it is very difficult for us to be able to deal with this,” Nguyen said Monday. “People in this neighbourhood are really kind and warm-hearted, the neighbourhood has been treating us very well. Many of the customers are my good friends.”Nguyen said she cannot think of who or why anybody would target the restaurant.
