| - I wanted to like this place. I really did.
Likes:
- pork belly Bao
- satay w/ peanut sauce
Not bad:
Rice noodles with shrimp, Chinese sausage, and clams
I've had better:
- Spicy greens
The decor looks like the man cave of some frat boy with an orientalist fetish. Bird cages, tea lanterns, Buddha statues, red walls, Chinese characters, etc. Where I'm from the youngins call it "doing too much" but apparently quite a few people find it charming. It also has less of a dining and more of a bar atmosphere when it gets really busy, for whatever that's worth.
Service was pretty spotty. Once we got our food, our server forgot we existed. We literally sat there for 15 minutes with our tables completely bussed, waiting for the check). By the time we paid, we couldn't wait to get out of there.
Bottom line: get the Bao and the satay, and get them to go.
