| - I thought I'd already written a review on TCJ, but Yelp insists I haven't. So, even though it's been over a month since I was there, I remember it well. So, here goes:
I found this place by accident -- I ducked into an entranceway to get out of a sudden downpour and found myself looking into a simple, but clean Asian eatery. Being a fan of Asian food, I said to myself, "dinner time!"
TCJ is an acronym for Thai, Chinese, Japanese, for all cuisines are represented on the menu. There is another acronym in use here: AYCE -- All You Can Eat. Okay, I'm in!
Not a buffet. TCJ hands you a menu and a pencil, and you order whatever you want. Repeat as many times as desired. They do indicate that you are expected to eat what you order, in an effort to save on food costs by people simply sampling. All of the items I ordered were cooked superbly, from the Tom Kha soup to the house-special sushi TCJ roll. Had I only known about their steamed dumplings, I might have just passed on everything else -- they are among the best I have ever tasted!
The next day at work, I mentioned TCJ to one of the locals, who replied that he passed it every day on the way to work, and had never tried it. He is going to rectify that. I recommend you do so, too!
