| - Where should I begin? Maybe that this is definitely NOT the place to take your girlfriend's Taiwanese mother with whom you are meeting for the first time.
From the outside the restaurant looked promising, although parking was limited, despite not being very busy. **If you can't find parking, I would recommend trying the lot across the street from Rite Aid.** The inside decor was nice, but it left me confused as to what type of atmosphere they were trying to create.
What I (we) ordered:
Kung Pao Cauliflower - The ONLY thing that we all enjoyed
Raw Oysters - I've had less sand in my mouth after face-planting on the beach
BBQ Shrimp - I don't mind taking the shell off the tail, but the legs too?? Pass....
Dirty Rice - NOPE
Grilled Scallion Noodles - If a look on someone's face could completely embody a subpar yelp review, it was the look my girlfriend's mother gave me after these were delivered to our table. In all fairness, the look she gave could've also been due to her disapproval of her daughter's choice in men, but I remain hopeful that it was the noodles!
Lastly - my girlfriend ordered a glass of wine and it came in a dirty glass. This isn't a big deal. Things slip through the cracks. But when we brought this to their attention (when I say "we", I of course mean her), they literally brought back the same glass with an obvious attempt of just wiping it down instead of giving her a new glass. Come on now!
All-in-all, it must have been a very memorable night, since my girlfriend's mother didn't stop complaining about it during her entire visit to Charlotte. Thanks, Wu!
