| - Eating here is really an adventure. Now, I don't hate this place -- I actually thought the food was alright. I don't know if this is the case because I had zero (make that negative) expectation as soon as I walked into the place. I knew something was very wrong when I saw that there were only two tables; both had pitchers of beer and no food. As soon as I got seated, I noticed how dirty and sticky everything is. I immediately rolled up my mental car window up as one would when driving through a sketchy area. The decor is amazing -- where do I even start? They say that a great work of art grows on you, and there are new delights to be discovered every time you go back to look at it. Apart from being a restaurant, the restaurant also acts as a shrine for the owner. His pictures and "awards" are plastered all over the place, including the tables. Above the cash register were 2 clocks right next to each other. One was a generic round faced clock and beside it was an awesome car rim shaped one. What more do I need to say? Everyone deserves to experience this wonderland and discover these gems for themselves. Just don't look at the fish tank, if all the other stuff didn't kill your appetite already, then this would definitely put a bullet in your stomach. I was definitely wondering if this was really a restaurant or a portal that brought me to parallel universe where a place like is allowed to exist.
I ordered the spare rib noodle soup; while waiting for my food, I honestly thought I was going to take one bite then leave and eat somewhere else ... just to be nice. I must say, I actually enjoyed it. I've tried a bunch of places downtown for chinese noodles, and they were soggy and terrible. The noodles were chewy, the meat didn't taste stale, and the broth was flavourful. Excellent. The portion was very large for it's price (4.99). I finished the noodles happily and got the hell out of there ASAP. It was one of those situations that you're happy just to come out unharmed.
