A busy Asian restaurant exposed an influencer and told her to ‘get the f**k out’ after she asked to pay for a meal with ‘exposure’.

Manchester hotspot Lucky Ramen and Sushi, situated in Ancoats, took to Instagram on Saturday to reveal a content creator, who they choose not to name, had requested a free meal in exchange for a post on her ‘story and page.’

The restaurant received a DM from the influencer, who they dubbed a ‘blue tick superstar’, asking them to do a ‘collab’ but they were less than impressed with the offer. 

Stunned staff shared the post online, but the influencer fumed after seeing her private DM being shared and snapped back at the restaurant for trying to ‘expose’ her.

In another message she wrote: ‘Personally, I think you’re bang out of order. HOW DARE YOU try and expose us like that??? So you think people like us don’t deserve to eat for FREE???

The social media star’s initial message read: ‘Hey sorry I know it’s short notice but I’m in Manchester tomorrow and looking for somewhere for brunch with my partner, would you be open for a collab with me for a post on my story and page?’

Sharing the message on the Lucky Ramen and Sushi Instagram story the restaurant  wrote: ‘REALLY?…? Oh, what a surprise! Another thrilling DM from a blue tick superstar asking for a free feast in exchange for an Insta post. 

‘Because, you know, exposure pays the bills! We’re just thrilled that you appreciate our food, but hey, we appreciate paying customers even more!’

After seeing her message shared on Instagram, the social media star doubled down.  

‘Just in case you didn’t realise, we are doing our best to help and promote you for FREEEE!!!’ she replied. ‘We don’t expect much, just a free meal to compensate our time, labour, effort and positive energy that we are supplying you.

‘The fact that you wanna expose us influencers like that, we will not be coming by anytime soon to support. Your food looks good and we heard it’s a great busy vibe, hence trying to and support. But your arrogance makes me sick. 

‘Haha very funny, you got a couple of giggles but were the ones that are laughing. We go where we want, eat what we want and lastly – it’s all for free! WHOS LAUGHING NOW???’

Lucky Ramen shared another scathing response to the woman, who they dubbed ‘angry influencer’ and joked her new message deserved ‘standing ovation’.

They responded with: ‘Dear angry influencer, Okay, aaalright… you got us! We’re truly sorry for attempting to uncover your behind-the-scenes tactics yesterday and, you know, us trying to make a living and s**t.

‘But hold on, the new message we just got deserves more than a standing ovation! This follow-up DM is a total game-changer, and guess what? We’re now rolling out the red carpet for all the free meals you desire. 

‘And that’s not all – our chefs are ready to part ways with their Crocs and Birkenstocks, throwing them in as an extra bonus for your tender love and labour! 

‘Even my dad’s medal of honour from the Japan war is up for grabs – he’s feeling generous the old geezer, and he’s even contemplating wheeling in his new eco-friendly hybrid wheelchair for you!

‘Just hit us up with another DM, let us know when you’re swinging by to collect your well-deserved goodies, and don’t forget to leave a glowing 5-star review on both Google and TripAdvisor.

The restaurant often posts snaps of long ques of people waiting outside to get into the hotspot 

‘We appreciate your understanding and, once again, sorry for the ‘inconvenience’ we caused. Bon appétit + Arigato-the-f**k-outta-here. Team LÜCKY (unfluencer + no blue tick)’ Social media users threw their support behind Lucky Ramen in the comments and praised the eatery for its stern stance with the influencer. One person said: ‘Honey they are booked. They don’t need your exposure. We are all queuing for tables. Gladly.’ Another said: ‘EXPOSE THEM! We all need to know. Some of these “influencers” are hilarious.’ Someone else wrote: ‘I love this clapback. I can’t wait to come to a restaurant that doesn’t pander to these types of influencers!’ A fourth said: ‘Imagine having a food / lifestyle blog and thinking it means you’re entitled to eat for free every time you want to go to a restaurant’
