The owners of Sichuan Garden –the Boston-area Chinese restaurant targeted by a Harvard professor who launched an email-tirade at the eatery for a $4 overcharge—say they are humbled by the overwhelming show of support by the public.

Xing Yan Zhang, manager of Sichuan Garden in Brookline, Massachusetts, told FoxNews.com that "a lot people are coming in to show their support. We are humbled."

Ran Duan, whose family runs Sichuan Garden and who is also an accomplished bartender, released a statement Wednesday evening detailing how they've been inundated with offers of help from around the world, including free website services, legal advice and more.

“I just want to make clear that we are not a business in financial distress. We have been blessed with the support of our amazing community and hospitality family that has understood the value of a hard working family. Your support and kind words are more then enough,” he wrote in a statement to Boston.com.

He even apologized to Harvard students for the "negative association" of being linked with the ordeal.

Life is tough for underpaid Harvard professors, they have to watch their pennies.

Soulmate of anoter Harvard professor? The originator of the "You didn't build that!" phrase?

Betcha he got called into the principal's office - or to the woodshed for a switching for bringing such negative attention down on their head -
