| - Others seem to disagree, but for me and the lady, "dragon" is about the only way they'd get me back here.
It wasn't terrible, mind you, it just wasn't good.
There were a few stand-outs:
The Good:
1) the fried dumplings, not the traditionally prepared ones the other bad boys, the filling was spot-on
2) The crab rangoon, that extra half-teaspoon of cream cheese makes all the difference!. Has anybody ever gotten crab in one of these anywhere?
The Bad:
1) most of the entree items were in need of being refreshed, so doughy coldish if it was battered, just coldish if not ...odd, as the hour was noon. The chicken broccoli had no seasoning whatsoever on the chicken, so I just ate the broccoli
2) The Egg Fu Yung I don't know if was texture or what but this could not be choked down.
The Ugly
1) Who do you have to tackle to get a check? Simple hints, like all the silverware, napkins and miscellaneous debris piled high on one's plate, and shoving all plates and glasses to the edge of the table for removal and having one's wallet and pulled credit card in plain view, did not do the trick
3) The lady removing herself to use the facilities in addition did not work
2) Even when I asked the waitress for the tab, when finally getting her attention she said ok, and disappeared into the kitchen for at least a full five minutes....did she have a bill upon returning? ( I figured she was off finding a calculator, although since every entree is the same price one would think commiting the numbers to memory would be in the cards somewhere here.)
NO.
A fevered discussion in Mandarin eventually takes place between the host and the waitress, and furtive sideways glances occassionally are turned in our direction, the host says to us "Just a minute", and proceeds to seat several customers and take drink orders before returning to have a second discussion with the waitress which we ultimately resolved as there was apparently some confusion as to what we had to drink, so I told them, we had the bill plunked down with a half-hearted apology croaked from the waitress and we hopped up to the counter to pay, rather than take a chance on the timing, or indeed the occurence of a return visit.
The host acted much like I do with my doctor when told to "bend over" as I was paying the bill, (no smart-aleck glee was NOT a component), and the traditional "thank for your business" that some business people offer when I put money in their pockets was not forthcoming.
