| - My first impression was that it was your average strip plaza wannabe restaurant. But in fact I was very wrong! My girlfriend and I came here on a lazy Friday evening after a tough day of work and snow-shovelling so we wanted to just relax and not think about much. The one lady who was working both the cash register and the kitchen was churning out orders like a machine, very impressive!
We ordered the pork-chop rice bento, a beef noodle bowl, and obviously the stinky tofu! The bento came with 3 sides you could choose from (steamed veggies, stir fry brocoli, szechuan eggplant, etc.) and also a choice of pop or soup, while the beef noodle bowl had a very genuine soup broth and hearty soup ingredients (my only complaint about the noodles was that the noodles were slightly overcooked so they melted rather quickly in your mouth). The stinky tofu was excellent, it was stinky enough while the pickled cabbage gave it a nice balance. All three cost about 18 dollars, which is not totally unreasonable but odd given the size of the food (they were all pretty small). The place itself was a bit cramped because of its awkward location in the plaza, and it can be really cold if you choose to dine-in during the winter evenings.
Definitely worth another visit for the food and experience, but maybe next time I'll take my order to go!
