| - Inexpensive, large portions, and decent-to-good food. I've been here four times now, and we've had some inconsistencies from one visit to another. The food has always been at least decent, but often quite good, the portions are almost always large, and I'm usually surprised by how little we've paid at the end.
We've had the Peking Duck here three times, and the first time it was pretty nice, the subsequent time our first course was mostly skin, and the third time was somewhere in between. I certainly wouldn't suggest that you consider this the best Peking Duck in the city, or even within a half-hours drive, but it's here, it's decent, and it's not terribly expensive.
We've had three different congees here, and the House Super Bowl and the Fresh Scallop congees were both quite good, where the Lobster Super Bowl Congee was a disappointment.
We've also had the mixed meat chow mein twice, and I have to admit I have a soft spot for stir fried noodles that are cooked hard like these. The 'assorted meat' includes a fair number of organ meats, so if that's not your thing, I'd pick something different.
Is it exceptional? No. But it's reasonably good and reasonably priced.
