| - This is a hole in the wall. Honestly, it looks like they use the dining room as their living room. Its very cute. Very quaint.
The waitress is named Kitty. She is sweet as sin. She's not terribly fast but she is terribly nice. She makes sweeps through the dining room with a push cart, dropping off tea and soup in large batches.
We showed up right at the tail end of six tables all being seated at once. Plus two other tables sat down after us. Honestly, my first suspicion was that this meal would be a suckfest, it would take forever, and the service would be awful. I was pleasantly surprised.
We ordered some chow mein and this shrimp dish. Plus we got soup, egg rolls and tea. Kitty took turns through the dining room. First she brought everyone tea. Then came our soup. And finally the egg rolls. My girlfriend said the wonton soup was the best she had ever eaten. I commented that she says that every time she gets wonton soup. This soup was tasty, don't get me wrong. But it was nothing special. You got two chubby little wontons and some pieces of char siu. It was quite good for 85 cents. The egg rolls were pretty ordinary, too. They had decent sized shrimps in them.
For the entrees, the chow mein we got was delicious. The sauce was a simple brown sauce. There was ALOT of beef in it. The beef had a rich, beefy taste and wasn't tough. In addition to the beef, there was tons of celery in it. All in all, quite tasty. The portion wasn't very huge...but neither was the price.
The shrimp dish was pretty much in the same brown sauce. I forget the name of the dish but I think it was like Va Que Shrimp or something. The restaurant prides itself on Cantonese specialties. This was one of them. Its basically several fresh veggies in a brown sauce with several fried shrimp added at the end. Much like the chow mein, it was simple. It was a small portion but, again, the price was small, too.
This is one of the things I like the best about this place: the price! This place is super cheap! We ordered two entrees, soup, tea and egg rolls and it was $16! This is amazing. And you'd think the food would be gross or the service would be shit....but not here....
The portions are smaller because the price is smaller. This might make some people upset but to me this means two people can try three things or a family of four can try five or six things. The quality doesn't suffer, either.
The only complaints is that they neither had a high chair or a booster seat for our 2 year old. Also, they do not take credit.
If you don't mind the setting, and I don't...its cute, then this place is pretty rad. Good, cheap American Chinese food served by a super nice lady, can't get much better than that, can it?
