In surveillance video released by police, a suspect is seen walking into the eatery just before 8 p.m. on Oct. 18 on Hunts Point Avenue. 
Once inside, the man displayed a handgun and demand cash from the employees. The cashier then closed the cash register as a customer stands at the counter. The suspect then grabs about $15 in tip money off the counter top and runs.
The man is described as between 20 to 25 years old, about 5 foot 7 inches and was last spotted wearing sunglasses, a hooded black jacket and black pants. 
The restaurant workers didn't report knowing or recognizing the man as a former or current customer, according to police.  
Police say the suspect fled towards Drake Street.
The investigation is ongoing.
