| - Foodies, don't let this place deceive you! They are running two businesses under one guise. The first is regular ol' ho mogwai (not cute furry creature, but basically Chinese for gringo) food. There are two menus here and depending on what you look like (yes, I know it's discrimination) they will give you the blue menu or the pink menu. Sometimes they may give you both if you appear to be down with it! The pink menu is full of sweet and sour chicken and other morsels Americans expect in their Chinese "adventures" The blue menu is the Chinese menu (translated in to what is at times, very humorous Engrish). You may have to ask for this beauty.
The clientele in the eat in part of the business is largely Chinese and this usually speaks volumes to the quality to price ratio at Chinese places. The Chinese patrons typically receive an earthenware pot of soup called "daily soup" that is totally free. The soup is different everyday, and often has ingredients favored in Chinese medicine. My kids like it, so we get it. It isn't offered to everyone, so if you want it, ask for it.
We have a few favorites here that include seafood chow fun (with gravy), monks platter (an array of mushrooms unlike any I've ever known, paired with tofu), stir fry fish with vegetables (sauteed whitefish with Ginger and baby bok choy), something that I believe is called Peking rib (a staple at most tables, crunchy red goodness), fried calamari, and many others currently evading me.
A portion of our family is Chinese, and so we always celebrate Chinese New Year with wonderful seafood dishes. We have typically shared this meal at C-Fu to watch their lion dance performance. This year C-Fu canceled the show, so we couldn't see paying twice as much for food that definitely isn't twice as good. We fed 16 people for around 120 dollars this year. It was awesome!
Do know that the loss of a star is only due to the fact that the staff is discriminatory. We have come in before (before our Chinese relatives arrive) and chopsticks and tea cups were removed from the table. The staff can be quite brusque until you get to know them. We've been coming in for two years now and it has taken this long for them to start being friendly. The food, however, supersedes any lack of manners in the staff. Go in and make the decision that their antics are comical rather than hurtful and like the platter clean!
