Been in this plaza many times and i've always noticed this place with it's open seating and ads of fresh fruit smoothies and cartoon pictures of the monkey king which i think the plaza is themed after. Anyway a friend and I hit Da Sheng up for lunch after work. I'm not sure if he's been there before and was taking me just for shits and giggles or he wanted someone to scope out the place with him.
Regardless we came at a time where the restaurant was pretty much dead. The waitress acknowledged us and told us it was open seating and i grabbed a few menus and start browsing. My buddy has a complicated diet due to some conditions he has so pork was totally out of the question as well as some shellfish.
We ended up getting two lunch specials which were i think 6.95 which wasnt too bad.
Spicy Eggplant
- Normally i dont like eggplant but this place's spicy eggplant might just change my mind. A nice sized plate of eggplant perfectly seasoned and not too spicy with slivers of onion and bamboo shoots. Chinese eggplant with skin on. Texture was spot on, not too soggy or slimy and had a firm bite to it.
Shrimp with Seasonal Veggies
- 'Seasonal' is kind of a strange term for veggies that are pretty much available year round. appearance wise this is your typical chinese stirfry dish with the thickened sauce. First bite revealed A LOT of tasty garlic and surprisingly a lot of shrimp.
Didnt get a chance to try out any of the smoothies but i'm definately sure to come back and try a few more dishes this place offers.
