My family and I recently came here for Father's Day. Apparently they have been running a special that prints in the Vietnamese newspaper; party of 4 that spend more than $38 has an option of choosing between soy sauce duck or chicken, pnarty of 7 or more gets two free dishes. We did not inquire about what dishes because there was only four of us. By the time we finished ordering, we had surpassed the $38 mark and secured the duck. It is easy to ring up the bill.
We ended up with:
Hot & Sour Soup- It was unremarkable because it was neither spicy nor tangy. This soup is suppose to have very bold flavors and nothing really stood out.
Mandarin Pork Chops- Large meaty pieces in a balanced sauce. It was not too sweet nor tangy and was crispy.
Salt & Pepper Squid- This is my sister's favorite dish. It was golden brown and a generous portion. A little too salty for me, I ended up eating half a bowl of rice with each piece.
Rock Cod in Black Bean Sauce- A family favorite and it did not disappoint.
Seafood Chow Fun- I have had better. A decent amount of fish fillets, scallops, squid, and shrimp.
Complimentary Duck- Came out on a bed of peanuts. It was delicious and surpassed our expectation. Definitely better than the soup and chow fun.
Complimentary Mung Bean and Tapioca Dessert- It is served warm and reminded my family of our favorite Vietnamese dessert. It is made in a similar fashion to the Vietnamese style as well. It is less soupy and thicker.
Overall the dinner was very enjoyable. Much like a few of the other Asian restaurants in Chinatown, they run a reverse happy hour deal where they cut the prices on their dishes. I must find out when now.
