| - This place opened a couple of days ago in the shopping center across from the LakePointe business park. The food quality is about on par with Qdoba or Salsaritas, and has the same "assembly line" style of ordering. The difference here being that the dishes are Chinese instead of Mexican.
I had the Rice Bowl with grilled chicken topped with the smoky chili sauce (their spiciest option). I was pleasantly surprised with the taste. The sauce had just the right amount of kick and the chicken and rice tasted very fresh.
The place is small and fills up quickly, but there is patio seating available out back. The decor is vibrant and classy, with pictures of Chinese landmarks dotting the walls. There are interesting factoids below each picture and also on the containers that hold your food -- a charming touch.
I have two complaints, however: First, the drink selection is very limited (Coke, Diet Coke, Water). Second, all food is served in styrofoam "take-out" boxes, even if you're dining in. It would be nice to see something slightly less crude -- even if it's just black plastic plates.
I'd like to give this place 3.5 stars, but since I can't award half stars I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. They're a brand new place and the owner seems receptive to comments, so I think they'll steadily improve over time. It wouldn't surprise me to see more locations popping up around town in the near future.
