| - Ehh.
Quite the disappointment. I had been looking forward to trying Northside Cafe for quite a while.
Tonight, while doing some gambling at the SLS, we decided to grab a bite to eat here.
Ordered-
- Combination Fried Rice ($11.95) with pork, shrimp, and chicken
- Orde of Chicken Wings (plain) ($9.95) with ranch sauce on the side
- 1 side order of Garlic Mashed Potatoes ($6.95)
- 1 Diet Pepsi, 1 Water
(+) Service was probably the best thing about this experience, as the young lady who waited on us was friendly and attentive, certainly no complaints regarding the service
(+) chicken wings were actually pretty good! Only 6 to an order, but at least they were tasty.
(-) garlic mashed potatoes were a huge disappointment. First, the portion size was pathetic. This was roughly about 6-7 bites. This should have run $3 at the most. $6.95 is downright criminal. Plus their definition of garlic was ready mix mashed potatoes with a few garlic dices on top. Very disappointing.
(-) Combo Fried Rice was plentiful in portion, but extremely bland. At least I know they don't use any MSG in their Chinese foods. That dish was way too bland to have included any measurable amount of MSG!
Maybe one day we will return to try some of the breakfast menu items, but this was a bit of a letdown and I don't see myself going out of my way to go back..
Maybe I will try Ku Noodle next...after all I am one of those rare locals that actually likes playing at the SLS...
for Northside Cafe though, it will have to be..
2 stars.
Meh. I've experienced better.
