| - I'm knocking one star because of their lunch setup. I came here today and I really wasn't impressed. They have a small menu, but that's fine. There's still plenty of good offerings to be had. The place is hectic as always, and that's nothing new. Service isn't amazing, but you really shouldn't expect for it to be. These people are *REALLY* Chinese, and I'm sorry to say that most Asian restauranteurs don't conform to the American standards of courtesy. It's a different culture, and it is what it is- deal with it. You'll probably have to wave a server down if you want something, because they won't be doting on you every five minutes. This is usually born from the fact that they have a HELL of a lot going on all at once, so don't take it personal, guailo.
Anyhow... the lunch today really wasn't amazing. It was fine, but I expect better from this place. The egg roll was just plain mushy, and that wasn't cool. The hot and sour soup was airport-restaurant quality. Now, I understand that for the lunch rush they probably just prepare an ass-ton of food in the back, and serve it to order. I get that. However, after my meal today I couldn't in good conscience give another five-star rating.
The Dan Dan noodles were good. The pork short ribs were good. The rice was mushy, but once again I think that it was just a victim of being large-batch cooked for the lunch rush. I was a *little* annoyed by the skeptical look that the woman gave me when I ordered off of the Chinese menu, but by now that shit pretty much just rolls off.
