| - Looooots of people on a Saturday evening, but they give you the option of sharing a big round table with other customer(s), which we did and it was less awkward than we thought. As a vegan, I found the menu pretty limited. There is an entire vegetarian section in the red menu (there are 2 menus - red for special combos and dishes categorized by meats vs seafood vs veggies and green for grain-based meals), but be careful as some dishes also contain eggs and/or seafood. A small bowl of white rice is complimentary with combo meals. We ordered the special for 2 combo ($23.99), which came with 2 vegetarian egg rolls (the spring rolls are not vegetarian) and 2 veggie dishes. Both veggie dishes were generic, but A-OK. Generic Chinese restaurant ingredients such as carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, pea pods, corn starch, etc. The bean curd vegetables with black mushrooms was more corn starchy while the stir-fry veggie dish was surprisingly light, umami (MSG alert lol), and almost refreshing. I thought they used LESS cornstarch and sodium here than at other Chinese restaurants, but I have no basis for this beyond the texture and taste.
Huge portions overall (some guy next to us ordered fried rice for 1 and I swear to god it was enough to feed a small classroom), great value. They accept card and cash. Nothing special about the food. Venue is crowded and pretty noisy, but pretty clean (even the restrooms). Probably won't return again since there are so many other, better Chinese restaurants out there.
