| - I was to have a lunch meeting here, but it took me a while to find this place. Why?
- I'm still a moron while navigating Arizona streets, and I get confused with "N"orth and "S"outh addresses.
- I ALSO found out that the numbering and directions change depending on the city. As I was travelling North on Alma School in Chandler, I then turned around after a while because I saw I wanted a "South" address.
After much confusion, I finally found the bland, yet clean restaurant in the mini-mall BEHIND Safeway, and had a good meeting. After the meeting broke, I ordered a bulkogi and chicken combo, and the owner, Ray, sat down to chat with me. We talked about how we both missed Oakland Chinatown and complained about the Arizona heat. He told me about how he moved to Arizona some 30 years ago with his wife (who is from Hawaii), and how they started this restaurant a good 20 odd years ago, before the plate lunch fad hit the mainland.
And he told me that weekends are a good time to come, so he can set me up with a new girlfriend. Work your magic, Ray!
