A friend and I looking for a quick bite stumbled upon Taigu, an unassuming Chinese restaurant without a big bright sign. It was just 15 before closing time and they thought we wanted take out, but we didn't. There wasn't even a hint of disappointment or annoyance; we were welcomed with a smile and seated. The decor is unassuming too, but the friendly service itself makes the atmosphere warmer. We steered away from dishes you can find at every Chinese restaurant, and instead opted for something different. The scallion pancakes were delicious, as was a beyond generous portion of freshly fried meatballs, both starter dishes. Then we had a noodle dish, and those are the house specialty. It was filling, fresh, and tasted great too. Taigu was a really pleasant surprise, and neither the food nor the service disappoint. We're looking forward to another visit!
