| - Came here on a weekday night with my girlfriend for a fun night out. The staff is really friendly, offering to help navigate their enormous menu, providing suggestions for what to order, and translating the Chinese items that didn't have any English equivalents written down.
For appetizers, we ordered the Bean Thread in Spicy & Sour Sauce and two cups of Hot & Sour Soup. Both were big, spicy, and very filling.
I added some excitement to the place by accidentally splashing some of the very spicy sauce from the Bean Thread (noodles) into my eye. I literally could not even open my eye afterward, so one of the waiters led me by the hand, blind, to the bathroom so I could rinse it out. The whole restaurant staff was very concerned, and everyone in the place cheered when I emerged from the bathroom. No harm done.
I returned to the table to find the Water-Boiled Fish and the Yu Xiang Eggplant we ordered waiting for me. First of all, the serving sizes are enormous. Each entree could easily feed two people. They were both delicious, but the eggplant was seriously some of the best food I've ever tasted. They must have some sort of drug in the sauce, because it just wipes your mind of everything you're thinking about and overwhelms you with deliciousness.
No dessert for us because there was basically an entire dinner left on the table. We took two boxes and two bowls home. Total price for all of the above? $25, after a 10% discount in account of my eye incident (which they really didn't have to do).
Pretty freaking awesome place. Highly recommend.
