Being from Southern California, I am sometimes leary about going out for certain types of food. Mexican food is the big one for me. Asian cusine is the second one depending on where I am. In New York City, not a problem. Champaign Illinois, my hopes were not set to high. My friends stopped in for lunch each ordering a different item. I tried the duck and my friends the chicken and beef. You pcik the size, protein, and broth. I was not that impressed. Same thing with my friends. They make it fresh is a positive thing. It just did not taste that good. I hate fowl when the bone is still attached to the meat in a soup. It is just to messy to pick at the meat. For the area, maybe 2.5 stars, and that is being pretty kind.
