| - Oh man, I really wanted to like this place. We went just after 11pm on a week night. It's a huge restaurant, with nice furniture, etc. The host (owner? ) was very nice. There was only one other table seated when we arrived, and only one came in before we left.
The first thing that I took issue with was that as soon the waiter came to greet us, he looked at his watch really obviously. I thought I remembered that the hours posted were until at least 1am, so I said, "I'm sorry, what time do you close?" He mumbled, saying something about the chef wanting to go leave early because it was a week night. Well that sucked!
The menu is arranged so incredibly poorly, that it's hard to figure out what you want, especially when you are being rushed. I asked about the steamed fish, but he made an unpleasant face about it. I asked what was wrong with the fish, and he said that I wouldn't like it. When I asked why, he said that "non-Asian" people don't like it. That was weird, so we eventually just asked for his recommendations. He made a suggestion, we said ok, and then he came back to say that they'd run out of it. We went with his second suggestion, salt and pepper sea food.
It was a pile of fried stuff that you could find anywhere. The batter wasn't particularly tasty, the seafood wasn't particularly fresh or memorable. The portion was small for the money, and we had to ask to have any sauce to go with it. We'd also ordered the spring rolls, which were also average. We were still hungry, but were sure as hell not going to get anything else that night.
Such a bummer. There are a few other places open at that hour. Unless you really can't bring yourself to walk any further, go somewhere else.
