| - invited by some friends with a 25 dollar off coupon, and since we love ethnic experiences, wanted to try this place out.
i don't know what's wrong with my palate lately, but i keep trying these new places that i'm not chomping at the bit or dreaming about for days afterwards. my girlfriend tells me it's because i've crossed into the "mid-late 30's" and that my taste buds are just getting old....because i haven't given a 5 star recently, and i'm starting to get down on myself.
but i wasn't that impressed with my dish. i ordered the buddha dish and it was just standard asian style veggies with 2 chunks of tofu...bok choy, carrots, peas, those cute littel corns, and a light syrupy sauce. tasted just like any other chinese food i've ever had. and the dessert..semolina cake....was also just ok, not "whoa, this is delicious...i have to lick the plate" but simply ok.
we did get a toda salad which was good, and alot of the curry dishes smelled and looked tasty, so if we go back, we'll have to try those....
but now that we'ver read "Eat This, Not That" restaurant edition....damn man, you can't eat anything in restaurant anymore without feeling guilty. i wish i'd never read that book...boo hoo.
so to sum up, if you get something, go for hearty...a curry or meat dish, they may be better than what we got. and get dessert somewhere else. oh....our waitress said the family style plates we were ordereing were big enough for two people, but i didn't think they were (and i'm little....only 145 and i ate my whole plate plus dessert).
excellent staff...very friendly. we spent about 25 bucks each there.
