| - I went for the first time tonight with my boyfriend. We walked in and were promptly seated and provided glasses of water. The hostess was very friendly. The atmosphere was nice, comfortable, and not too loud but not uncomfortably quiet, either. I had a hard time choosing what I wanted to order, because I really wanted sushi but I also wanted something I had never had before. After a lot of jumping back and forth, I ended up settling on the Mongolian Duck with brown rice, and also a Shanghai spring roll. We didn't wait very long at all for our food, and our server was very nice and attentive. The spring roll was good. The Mongolian Duck, however, was... I don't want to say it was bad, because it wasn't. But it wasn't great either. It was honestly just bland. I was also a bit disappointed by the amount of actual duck in the dish. It was mostly a heaping pile of sprouts with not very much duck at all, and lots of salty, kind of sweet sauce. This wasn't a terribly disappointing thing as I do very much enjoy sprouts, but the sprouts weren't what I had paid for this evening. I had also asked for mine to be spicy and it had barely any heat to it whatsoever. I do realize that spiciness can be different for everyone, and therefore the next time I go I shall ask for it to be "extra spicy" to see if that makes a difference.
My boyfriend however, was VERY satisfied with his dish (he ordered szechuan beef). And there was quite a bit of beef on his plate.
Otherwise, though, the food was hot, we didn't wait very long for it, and the servers and hostesses were very nice. I'm going to go again and get something different next time.
