| - First time here on WED night. At the door, no one greeted us until the bartender saw us waiting inpatiently at the door. Once we were at the table, the server did not come for at least 5 min and also no water.
There's decent amount of selection on the menu and also drink menu is on the back. We decided to get the CSB, GRANDPA'S FUN GUO, SWEET & SOUR PORK RIBS and GENERAL SANDERS' CHICKEN.
CSB-this is baked every hour and the waitress did told us about this and it came at the end of the meal. For $8, you get a serving of 2 buns. This is baked version with cha siu inside. It's nice to have it hot straight from the oven but there's nothing special about it. $8 for 2 in my opinion is just too expensive.
GRANDPA'S FUN GUO-For $8, you get 3 pcs. The dumpling suppose to have black truffle inside. As soon as I cut it in half, I can smell the strong truffle smell but couldn't really able to identify the truffle. The unique about this dish is probably just the truffle but you can pretty much get better fun guo at any chinese dim sum place for fraction of the price.
SWEET & SOUR PORK RIBS-this was rather good. We order half rack for $13. Many would complain about being the small portion, but being baby back rib, the portion is what you will get in any other places. The price for this dish is about right. The rib is deep fry just like the sweet and sour pork that you get in chinese restaurant. It came with slaw and some pineapple. The slaw is rather sour but together with the sweetness of the ribs is about just right. This dish is tasty and good value in my opinion.
GENERAL SANDERS' CHICKEN-the last is the chicken and waffle, asian style. The waffle is the tradtional chinese street waffle. The flavor was good with the maple syrup but too bad it was burnt making it very dense in texture. Normally this should be crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. About the chicken, it came with 5 pcs but I think we got one extra. They are all boneless and I believe is a mix of dark and white meat but more of the dark meat. Again this was overcooked. Burnt on the outside and a bit dry on the inside. The portion is good and great value at $25. The sauces that came with it was very unique.
Last thing to note that the food came out very quickly. In matter of fact, they all came out at the same time filling up the table. I would rather they came one at a time.
Overall, this was an average place, I will come again once they improve on the quality of the food and adjust their prices.
