I'm running out of restaurants in Oakland that I haven't tried for lunch now. I went here for lunch with a friend and we both enjoyed our meals. She ordered the kung pao shrimp, but mentioned that it wasn't very spicy at all, which was a disappointment. I ordered the sliced pork with fried rice cakes because I had no idea what fried rice cakes were. The dish was definitely one of the most unique items I've ever had. For anybody like myself who is unfamiliar with the rice cakes and the dish, I will let you know.
The fried rice cakes were pretty much what they sounded like - cakes of rice, that had been lightly fried on the outside to hold them together and make them crispy. The pork came in a sauce that had a viscosity somewhere between a broth and your typical Chinese corn-starch thickened sauce. This was then poured over the rice cakes. I was impressed that the rice cakes stayed together even after soaking in the sauce with the pork. They took on a glutinous texture, which I enjoyed.
I think I made it about halfway through my meal before I was so full I could not continue, so I got the remainder to take home for lunch later.
The prices are pretty reasonable and the portions are good.
The service was also good, we were seated promptly, followed immediately by our drink orders being taken. The waitress was attentive and aware not to interrupt while we were obviously in the middle of a conversation. It was very appreciated.
