| - I was there for dinner this evening (Saturday, January 22), and yes, Mayor Goodman and his wife walked in for dinner. He is so popular and really put a smile on everyone's faces. There was also a very crowded table next to us (there were 14 seated at that table)...it turned out that that was a table of food critics from all over the US...even as far away as New York.
Like the previous poster who ordered Combination Fried Rice, so did we. I must say that this was about the best fried rice I have ever had, and I'm Chinese. It had Chinese sausage, pineapple and shrimp. Their xiaolungbao (little dragon buns known on most Chinese menus) seemed to have been even better than before. We also had shredded pork with dry tofu. We had a few other dishes and they were all great.
Service was a little slow (slower than normal...never had a problem before), but not awful. With the restaurant being so full and between the critics and Mayor Goodman, it was quite understandable. The wait staff was as friendly as usual, especially, Charles. I was at the Grand Luxe at the Palazzo at 1 am a few nights ago, and I can tell you that my pastrami sandwich took way longer.
I highly recommend this restaurant. I have been there many times.
