Outrage is on the menu at a Queens Chinese restaurant where a rowdy group of masked hooded teenagers ransacked a dining hall, flipping tables and chairs while horrified workers looked on.
Damages at Fish Village in College Point included a large broken window which was shattered Saturday night when marauders stormed the business and began trashing the place without any warning.
Viral video shows the group upending tables and sending plates flying even as patrons were eating.
“From the time they entered to the time they left, it only took a minute,” restaurant manager Tony Hu told WCBS-TV. “They didn’t say a word. We have no idea what was happening.”
Hu said he had no idea what motivated them.
“I was behind the register and was in shock,” Hu told the station. “Then I ran to call 911 but by the time I got through they were already gone.”
Hu said the stunt caused more than $20,000 in damages.
“This is a big financial loss,” Hu said. “Especially our reputation to future customers. Nobody wants to go to a place where things like this happen.”
Local leaders said they were outraged over the incident.
“As a community, we need to make sure this type of hate crime does not happen in our neighborhoods anymore,” Tony Avella, a former city council member said on a GoFundMe launched to raise money to help the restaurant rebuild.
“We want New York City to be a better and safer place for everyone to live.”
Cops said the NYPD is still looking for suspects and it is not clear if the vandalism is being investigated as a hate crime.
About 30 customers were in the restaurant when the violence broke out. Officials said there were no injuries.
The incident happened days before Mayor Adams suggested customers remove masks before entering stores in a safety move to help video surveillance identification.
The suggestion came after a masked gunman killed a Manhattan bodega worker last week.
