| - Hello. Well, I went to this Taiwanese restaurant on the suggestion of my friend who said it was good. The place looked closed when we drove up at 8pm on Friday night. Strangely the lights were on and we saw someone in the way back. The windows are tinted so you really cannot see in. I am going to guess this might be their first restaurant? Unless they are playing a game of "guess if this place is open" with customers. It looked so desolate, I swore I saw the crickets packing it in for the night and choosing a better spot.
So it looks like the lunch menu is super cheap. I don't know why. Why do people pay an arm and leg for Korean and Japanese but balk at paying the Chinese a smidgen? Well, unless it's PF Chang's which does not taste like Chinese food, I hate to tell you all. It's Thai slash, slash Viet, slash mostly American "inspired" Chinese food, owned by.... da da dum, yup some white guy. I think PF stands for "Please fool, Chang's???", as in do you really think this name is the owner of a Chinese dude? I joke, it's half owned by a Chinese guy.
So the food was actually really good. I felt guilty eating it because the food really is very tasty. I chose the cabbage dumpling, pork intestine noodle (I know I know, what's a Chinese guy to do but order the intestine? I got a reputation to keep), and beef noodle dish. All three were excellent. The dishes were large portions for dinner. They were around $9 each. I am not sure if the cabbage dumplings were hand made or not. It did not taste like it but if they did, I don't know how they can sustain a profit. Back to my diatribe....nah, I've made you suffer enough. The noodles were really tasty, it had a chewiness to it. It had texture and the flavored were great. The pork intestine soup was awesome. They killed any taste of intestine with the heaping mounds of garlic. If you have a cold or vampire infestation, you are welcome. Man oh man, fresh garlic galore.
But it all honesty, it worked and the dish was great. So, if you are wanting to try this place for dinner, pull in. The son will be playing on his phone but the will be courteous and serve you food with a smile. I am accustomed to Chinese severs throwing the food at me like they do at Sam Woos. (note to self, bring baseball mitt to catch your dishes when you go eat there.) The mother figure is attentive and makes up for the guy who is probably a student and the official seat warmer in the back. If that's his job, he is doing great. If you drink a lot of water, you may have to wait for the lady to refill your dish. He's not terribly bright either. I got a fork and chopsticks for my noodle that was filled with broth. I don't know, maybe that's how Taiwanese cuisine is, you gotta to outsmart your food, in order to, drink the soup with a fork. Haha, but it was a minor thing and he got me a soup spoon when I asked for a spoon to drink my soup.
I need more friends here in Yelp. I think my short reviews are scaring people away.
