| - This is not a fancy place, as the name might suggest, and we were okay with that.
Upon arrival, a sign says, "Please wait to be seated." So we waited, and waited, and finally we were acknowledged and seated. We noticed a lot of other Asians in the cafe, which we felt was a good sign (since same ethnicity usually means authentic and quality). It took another 10 minutes for anyone to come by and ask us what we wanted, or give us some water. One of the servers was practically running from table to table, while the others just seemed to take their time.
Our server finally arrives and apologizes as it was a "food rush" (okay, 1:30pm is not exactly "lunch time"). Firstly, there are too many menus. We were given 3 menus to choose from (lunch specials, specials, regular menu). Food arrives in separate deliveries (lunch orders should arrive together; this is not a-la-carte). The sweet-and-sour soup was good, not too spicy. The wonton soup lacked flavor. One of the menus seemed to list authentic "home town cooking" (if you like sheep intestines).
Food was okay overall, definitely not a '5' as many have raved. Sub-standard service brings this rating down from a would-be "4". Bad experience, won't return.
