I'm biased against American-Chinese food, since I ate Chinese home cooking most of my childhood. I'm giving Zaw's 3 stars, but I can see why it's gotten higher ratings here.
If you can, call in your order before you head to the eatery. Zaw's isn't speedy, but that's a good thing, as each dish is freshly made and piping hot. I like how the tofu is prepared--it's not overly fried or spongy, but just right. My favorite dish is the fried bean-sprouts and tofu. The sauce for the sesame tofu was way too thick--oh, hey, cornstarch--and too sweet, but I think the dish is meant for someone with more of a Western palate. The coconut tofu here has the perfect amount of spice, but I found the vegetables, which are $1 extra--the dish is normally just curry and tofu cubes--kind of disappointing, as they were just some random carrot and onion slices and some slivers of water chestnuts. I'm aware that I've only talked about tofu dishes here, but I'm pretty sure they use similar bases for sesame chicken and the coconut curry chicken.
Even though all the previous reviewers have already said this, I think it bears repeating: the staff is extremely nice, so nice that I feel like a horrible human being for not loving everything I've ordered. Zaw's won't cure my cravings for childhood foods, but I'll keep going back.
