| - Tott's gets five stars from me -- not as in 3 Michelin stars -- but as in "this place is perfect for what it's supposed to be."
And what is it supposed to be? Asian fast food, dine-in / take-out.
And why is it perfect at being that? For starters:
- excellent recipes, delicious menu, lots of variety
- top-notch ingredients (no fatty meats & bright, crisp veggies)
- very generous portions (the dinner portions = 1.5 to 2 meals)
- clean (including the restrooms)
- friendly staff (managed by Yan (Yun?), the owner's brother-in-law)
- the Bourbon Chicken, Twins Pork, and Dan Dan Noodles (yes, they deserver their very own bullet point)
The first time my fiancee and I ate at Tott's, it lasted for 3 days. We went on a Sunday and ordered the Bourbon Chicken and Dan Dan Noodles with Beef. They were so delicious, but the portions were so huge we got to eat the left-overs for lunch the next day.
Of course, when dinner rolled around, we were dying to try more of the Tott's menu...so we did. The next day? Repeat. Pretty much nothing but Tott's right on thru Tuesday.
Yan, the manager, is a very friendly person, who obviously cares about the restaurant. He takes the product and the service very seriously. I'm sure he's a big reason why this restaurant is so spot-on.
I can't believe this place has been around for four years (as of this writing), and I've only just now discovered it. If you haven't discovered it yet, do yourself a favor and order yourself some Bourbon Chicken asap.
Check out the web site (http://tottsasiandiner.com/section.html) to see the menu and pricing.
Did I mention the Bourbon Chicken?
