| - Wow, I haven't been back here for over 5 years, and I don't know what happened to it. I used to come here almost every weekend since it opened and it was the only alternative to a bar that was big enough to hold our big group. This used to be the place to be.
But since this visit, I won't be back.
It was the middle of the day, the place was moderately busy, definitely not like a packed Friday/Saturday night. Our group had about 10 people, we were at a wedding and had 4 hours to kill before the reception. I had thought of here because we could just plop ourselves and play cards.
When we sat down, it was about half and hour we realized that there was no menus given to us. Just as I got up to the front to get some, the guy came by and asked us for our order, and there I am standing there with a pile of menus. Awkward.
The food choices for lunch is diverse, but at a price point neither too cheap or too expensive. It's affordable, but knowing Chinatown prices, you'd rather go there. The difference between here and say, Congee Queen, is that CQ for the same price can get you a large shared portion for maybe about 3 people. Here, everything is individual (western style)
It is also very blatant that they covered old prices ($8.99) and increased to ($9.99 and up).
I got the Spicy Beef Noodle (Hong Siu) $9.99 - it was same old. nothing special, good, not amazing. It's one of my favourite taiwanese dishes. Some others got a rice/black bean beef bbq.
What is nice for a long sit down period of time is the bubble tea. However, the prices are decieving. For $3.99 or $4.99 you can get a small, but if you want a large the small print says and extra $1 and for jelly or tapioca is $.50. Basically a large drink is $$6.50 which is quite pricy.
The worst part was the service. Food came out the oddest times, and in the weirdest order. The foods were hardly correct and we had to send a few back. At one point, a bowl of noodles was left at our table and it didn't belong to us.
Doing the bill, they had offered us to mark down who had what and do separate bills - even that they screwed up.
Also what was disheartening, was the dirty tables, underneath. One of the tables had sticky food or something underneath. My friend got his SILK tie and shirt dirty by sitting too close. I was moving the tables and grossness was on my hands and got on my dress.
Ick. Next time we're going to Destiny's or the new Ten Rens that opened up down the street.
