| - I was teetering between 3 stars and 4 stars, but went with 4 stars!
Came here during lunch hour with co-workers to grab a birthday lunch - nothing super-fancy, but something solid. I appreciated it since no one likes to go eat lunch wif me *sniffle* (They all pack their own lunches or don't eat - "Lunch is for wimps!). But yesterday, I had lunch buddies, yay!
We all had the lunch special which came out in a timely manner and the place was poppin'. It was a birthday, so I asked the manager/server if they had anything special for birfdays, she said No. I said, okay, makes sense - who comes here for birthday lunch. I ordered a chocolake cake though anyways.
Lunch was solid, maybe a little on the sweet side. I had the chicken/shrimp/mixed vegetables and the sauce was a little sweet. General Tsao's chicken (?) was also a little sweet my buddy said. Oh yeah, AVOID the innocuous looking mustard bottle. It's not your average mustard sauce that comes in the little packets from Chinese restaurants. This one was sinus-clearing, eyes-water, fire-breathing. Yeah, it was so hot.
At the end, they brought out the cake. Low and behold, it had a witto candle on top which the manager/owner had to keep from blowing out with the wine glass (damn, asian people are smart!). It was a nice way to end the impromptu birfday lunch.
Will I go here again? Prob after I've dated a GF for a few months. It's a dimly lit, quaint comfortable Chinese food spot - like a solid 8th dinner date or a 4-year-been-with-the-ball-&-chain(wifey)-and-we-need-to-pretend-we-still-have-romantic-dates place.
dmo out.
