| - Wow is all I can say...I came for the food and ended up staying for the pure entertainment of watching Lola's on the dance floor...
Gentlemen- if you have that Asian persuasion thing going then you might want to check this place out..
It's true what everyone says- it's really dark in there, I had to use my cell phone light to see what I was eating half the time. It was pretty empty when we arrived at 9pm on a Weds night, even though it was their 7th Anniversary celebration. We sat down and ordered just as they were starting up the Karaoke session.
We ordered:
Ox Tail soup- pretty bland but vegetables and ox tail was good
Kare Kare- a stew with ox tail and peanut butter and veggies...sounds kinda gross but was actually pretty good, it comes with a shrimp paste you can add to the sauce to give it more flavor.
Mike Bihon- rice vermicelli noodles and thicker udon like noodles stir fried with vegetables, it was okay
Sisig- fried finely chopped pork bits/parts brought out on a sizzling plate. This one was pure awesomeness if you like that sort of thing. You squeeze lemon on it and eat with rice and its a good night...
Well- the karaoke started and I just about threw up my food..not from the food itself but more of the shrieking and how loud and bad some of the singers are...geez...thank god karaoke was ending at 11pm that night..there was not going to be enough shots for me to be able to deal with that all night long...I mean, it was funny laughing at some of these people but some were up there like they were all auditioning for American Idol!
Once the dancing started, that's when things really took off!! They play a combo of hip hop, R & B, house, trance, techno...it was hilarious watching people of all ages out on the dance floor and the get-ups of some of these folks...
Next time, I'm bringing my friends from SF here! The food was good and the entertainment was even better! I will for sure be back!!
