Discovered in a post-workout drive by, this place turned out to be quite alright. Not the white cloth napkin paradise where you come to experience an atmosphere of fine dining, but reasonably priced Chinese deliciousness sizzling on your very generously portioned plate.
Actually I almost left because I smelled bleach on the entrance (we came near closing time) very distinctly but then I heard my friend exclaim: " Hey! They have $3 wine!" and it convinced me to stay.
Why not five stars? Well despite the deliciousness (super fresh button mushrooms, amazing veggies, beef melting in your mouth and very succulent shrimp), the service was iffy.
Even though very entertaining. When the waitress was picking up our plates, she remarked : " Oh wow! You ate everything???" Which made us feel like these fat cows who shamelessly devoured all the food left for orphans and wounded soldiers. We immediately felt guilty and self-conscious, I was almost imagining my fortune cookie saying: " Someone will never fit in their skinny jeans circa 2006."
And when we asked her ( in advance) for separate checks, she looked shocked, scolded us with a look : " Wow! There is no love at this table!" followed by a deep sigh and asking the other waitress to help you split up our checks.
I mean is it not too common for two working girls pay separately? But I figured since prices were from 2001, service must have been from 1965.
But in the end none of this matters - I am capable of forgiving you everything as long as you serve me the best button mushrooms in the hood.
