| - Warning: Very, VERY Chinese place!! Out of the only 4 times I have seen a non-Chinese person there, 3 times I was the one who brought that non-Chinese person. One of those times, he was Arab and the cashier was trying to talk to him in Mandarin. There is CCTV Mandarin news playing on the TV constantly.
That's not a bad point for me, personally, as it reminds me of home. The decor is simplistic: there is none. The concept is that of a cafeteria, where some of the dishes are shown, and you point to the ones you want, and they scoop from the dish. Part of the kitchen is open and right behind the cash.
As for the food, the best thing about it is that it's CHEAP. Most of the things on the menu are under 10$ (all the prices include tax), and you can get a rack of ribs for 5$. It might not be fresh, it might not be the best tasting food, but it's cheap. The dishes displayed (3 dishes + rice for 8$) are usually all pretty tasty. The soup noodles are filling, there's A LOT of noodles, but there is not much taste other than the napa taste inside. One of my favorite dishes is the spicy chicken (12$). Although it's slightly dry, it's very spicy just as I like it, and just salty enough. The Asian (canned or bottled) drinks are really cheap too. There's also free self-served hot tea.
Overall, this is not the best tasting food, they don't have the best hygiene, and the service is not the best. But they are good at what they do, which is to offer cheap Chinese food. That's their goal, that's it, that's that.
