| - We dined here early Sunday evening. We ordered a Popcorn Chicken Ramen ($9.95), a Pork and Mui Choi with Steamed Rice ($8.99), and a Sweet Sesame Dumplings dessert ($4.99)
Popcorn Chicken Ramen - The popcorn chicken was served on the side to maintain the crunchy texture. This was a fine touch. The ramen had good texture and tasted fresh. The portions of chicken and ramen were both generous. The broth was milky, creamy, garnished with seaweed and corn niblets, and slightly but not overwhelmingly salty. Overall, this dish tasted good. I was quite happy with it. 4 stars.
Pork and Mui Choi with Steamed Rice - Mom ordered this, and she gave it a thumb-down. She complained that the dish tasted blander than most. I tasted the mui choi (preserved vegetable). It was totally bland. Mom said she could make this better at home. This dish photographed well, and the portion was good, yet the taste failed. 1 star (ouch per mom).
Sweet Sesame Dumplings dessert - 31 Kitchen redeemed itself with this dessert. The dumplings were big. There was a lot of black sesame, and the skin was sweet and chewy. The sweet soup was loaded with ginger, which I liked. 5 stars.
The interior decor and ambiance was outstanding. The services was average.
Overall 3.5 stars.
