| - I went with my wife on Saturday night. The place was less than half filled at 7 p.m. and never really filled up. The decor is extremely generic, but fine. As someone else pointed out, the booths do slide around a bit, so when someone sat behind me, I could feel his every move.
The service was attentive and helpful, and the food came out relatively quickly. Price-wise it was average - 10 and 13 dollars for entrees, 5 dollars for an appetizer. Not amazingly cheap, but not expensive either. The entrees did come with a lot of food.
So why two stars? Quite simply I didnt like the food that much. The basil rolls were fine, fresh, crispy with a strong basil flavor, but I really disliked the sauce that came with them. I tried the egg roll as well which was ok, but had an aftertaste vaguely like wasabi. We both ordered off the chef's specialties thinking that it would be the most interesting food. I got the chicken basil - once again I found the sauce off-putting, not for the spice, just the actual flavor of it. The chicken was super thinly sliced and extremely soft to the point that I felt like it hardly had the consistency of chicken. My wife got the scallops which were a bit better, but almost cloyingly sweet.
The proprietors were extremely nice and helpful so I feel bad putting up a somewhat negative review, but I doubt very much that I will be back.
