Was anyone else bothered by Cole Horibe's accent?

I know Bruce Lee had an accent, but Cole Horibe uses an almost offensive caricature of a Chinese accent it sort of evokes Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's. I was really uncomfortable. He eased off it near the end of the play, but it really left a bad taste in my mouth.
