| - Great food and prices!! service was also pretty good; no where near as bad as some reports. Victor was our waiter. he had a great sense of humor and steered us to some great dishes.
we went there for dinner last night. started with apps of salt and pepper shrimp and veggie egg rolls (menu says seafood, but they are veggie now). salt n pepper shrimp were awesome! could have just eaten those all night, but we would have missed some other good stuff.
then we had the seafood chowder. nothing like American chowder. chunks of misc seafood (i don't like fish, so i didn't look to close at what i was eating) in a broth base. not an overly fishy taste or smell. i finished a whole bowl.
the mongolian beef had good flavor and a nice spicy kick.
i didn't try the fish in black bean sauce but the other 4 in our party really liked it.
the chow main with beef, chicken, and shrimp was decent. the large pieces of beef, chicken, and whole shrimp were generous.
and, the best item of the night: Lobster! a whole lobster! they had a special where lobster was $8.88 a pound. ours was just over 4 pounds. there were several ways to have it prepared, and at our waiter's suggestion, we went with the ginger and scallion sauce. everyone loved it!
total bill was only $116 for the 5 of us. great price for 2 apps, soup, and entrees, including us "splurging" on the lobster. all were stuffed and very satisfied.
