| - After dining here, I had only one question, what for? Why is this restaurant in existence? As soon as you walk in, you can tell that it is a poor attempt at a Chinese restaurant. The Feng Shui is bad, very bad. Every menu item misses the mark, as almost authentic, but not quite. Why does Tony Hsieh and Chef Nat feel the need for this "missing the mark" cafe? I had the shishito peppers. Burnt, beyond being edible. No flavor, except char. I had the Chinese broccoli, overcooked and tasteless. This is not collard greens! Chinese food is quickly sauteed, allowing the natural flavors of the food to be the star. A little garlic and salt is all that's needed. The fried rice is too greasy! Some of the ingredients don't exactly go together well. The employees are very nice, very attentive. Hire a Chinese chef and be done with it. The flavors and sauces are not right. Hire a Feng Shui expert for a consultant and find out what busy really means. PF Chang's is a Jewish Guy's attempt (Paul Fried) attempt at Chinese food. It is much more successful than Chef Nat's attempt. Fusion is fine when it works. Here it is only Con-fusion! And Confucious says "Stay Away!, Save Your Money!". Lots better Chinese restaurants in this Town.
