| - New Year, new parking prices. Luxor costs $4 to park, 0-4 hours.
I'm actually really digging the Luxor now. It used to be some fast food options and eerie silence where the food was. Now they have some agreeable house music. Things look much cleaner. Oh and yeah, Rice & Company.
I had a hard time figuring out what kind of food joint this would be. You can get sushi, Chinese food, Thai food, etc. You had plenty of options. David, our waiter, was very good. He was able to rattle off the different sections of the menu and little tips about certain dishes. For me, it was unnecessarily complicated. I'm a little apprehensive of places that have many different types of food as it becomes a game to figure out what type of food is cooked well.
We started with sushi. I hate cucumbers and this menu was full of cucumber sushi. However, the cucumber was almost unnoticeable. The sushi was delicious. The right amount of each ingredient.
We also ordered Honey Crisp Chicken. David did do me a solid in letting me know that the honey crisp chicken was a sweet chicken (what you consider Orange Chicken at Panda Express) and their Orange Chicken is a more citrus based taste. The Honey Crisp Chicken sauce had some sweetness but not overpowering. The chicken was dry and had an offputting tang to it.
The lame duck of the three was the Pad Thai. It definitely needed to be spicier. The noodles seemed like the wrong type of noodles or undercooked or something. They were a little tougher and didn't hold any of the Pad Thai goodness very well.
Luckily, the fried banana with ice cream dessert ended the night on a sweet note. Spent a lot of time afterwards just talking. Parking jumps up to $8 if you stay longer than 4 hours.
