  • A-OK is better than A-OK! (Sorry, I couldn't help myself) Bad puns aside, I really like this place. I came here for lunch because I was in the area picking up some Crookies and really didn't have any expectations at all. Usually, I have strong preconceived notions about Neo/Fusion/Hipster Asian places because, more often than not, they suck; the food is usually white washed and retain 0% of the integrity of the original versions of the dish. As an ethnic Asian myself, I have no problem going to a restaurant where the staff didn't speak english with funky decor because I'd rather have authentic food than a hip environment. I ordered the Dan Dan Mein because I don't see it too often on menus other than in Northern Chinese restaurants. When the food came, I immediately noticed that it did not look authentic. Normally, these noodles come in a viscous peanut sauce based broth with firey red chilli oil. The variation at A-OK was more like noodles coated in a sauce with with a lot of toppings that buried the noodles. So I throught: "Uggh...these punks messing with the food from my homeland!", but when I actually took a bite, it was really good!! All the familiar flavours were there and they put their own twist on it by using diced water chestnut which made it really refreshing. The consistency of the sauce was great and I didn't feel super thirsty after my meal which I usually do from Chinese restaurants because of all the MSG. The fact that I like restaurant really gives me hope about new school chefs and the evolution of Asian food in this city. Authentic cuisine can be modified to be accepted by more people without compromising taste. It's time to retire the chop suey and make way for new westernized Asian classics.
