| - This place is located at the southeast block of the Flamingo-Sandhill intersection. Took me a second to find it. Ghetto area, but lots of parking.
I went at 6p on a Weds evening and there were only two other parties in there. The waitress was attentive and polite.
The restaurant is severely under decorated, with some Buddhist items and random Chinese things and a fish tank.
The menu confuses me. I thought it was gonna be a totally vegetarian/ vegan restaurant (like Veggie Delite on Spring Mt and Wynn), but it was a mix. They serve fish (sole) for sure. And there were items with beef, chicken, or pork. But then I got into the meat substitute section of the menu. I thought it was all meat substitute.
I ordered the honey walnut tofu ($10), but I also wanted a meat substitute dish. All of the items looked pretty tame. I asked my server to recommend something. She asked me, "You want spicy or no?" Not spicy, I replied. Then she gave a thinking look, like I'm SOL. So then I said a little spicy is okay. So then right away she recommended a beef and veggie dish ($10, forgot what it was called, but it was the last or second to the last item of the section). The beef sub was good. It looked like beef broccoli, but had all kinds of vegetables. And the texture of the fake meat was good. Not anything that would deceive you to believe that you were eating real meat, but still very good.
The honey walnut tofu was like honey walnut shrimp. But with tofu. And they put the sweet mayo sauce on the side. When I ordered it, she warned me there was egg in the sauce. The tofu was even lightly battered and fried, like honey walnut shrimp. The tofu sans the mayo glaze is very bland. This is served with steamed broccoli. I love that Chinese people rarely overcook broccoli.
I also got a brown rice, for which she did not charge me.
Now here is the strange thing. After she took my order, she went in the back and placed the order with the chefs. And I DIDN'T hear screaming and yelling in Chinese. So strange.
For dessert, I got a fortune cookie.
For the two dishes, before tip, my total was $22.
