| - This restaurant is just what the CSU area needed! While I was a frequent visitor at the former China Sea on Playhouse square, this location has refined and improved for what is needed in the on-campus area: quick, affordable, and good food.
I visited here for a quick lunch to-go today, and I was immediately impressed by the service. The owner was extremely welcoming, and willing to explain all of the options which they offered. The dining room was small and cozy, as I expected for the location. I kept it simple and ordered Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup with a Spring Roll and a Hot Black Milk Tea. My order was ready in 10 minutes, and my friend even decided to sample their "buffet" option (priced by the ounce) once he saw how fresh everything was. The price point is right- especially for the generous amount you are given. I was pleasantly surprised at the tenderness of the beef in my soup, and the noodles which weren't overcooked, as you often find at take out Chinese restaurants. The tea wasn't spectacular, but it was really reasonably priced (I think $2 for a small) and I'm eager to try other flavors The owner was eager to recommend other things, and even gave me a packet of his favorite hot tea to try.
I have to say I'm really glad to have something other than pizza and burgers to eat around CSU, and I'm even more glad to not have to deal with the terribly unpleasant service at CSU eateries. I'm definitely looking forward to returning for more!
