I know that! It's a good metric to judge them, right? Well, the owner (I assume) indicated this was \"Shanghai style\". Not spicy. Kung pao that isn't spicy?? Isn't that like water that isn't wet??\n\nWell, I ordered it anyway. My wife ordered the beef noodle soup.\n\nThe kung pao was not what I would call \"kung pao\". Sprinkling peanuts on it doesn't change that. However, if I put \"kung pao\" out of my mind and just ate it, it was tasty. A hint of sourness, but just a hint. Not spicy at all. But a nice flavor.\n\nMy wife liked her soup. I didn't. It clearly used whatever seasoning appears in every Vietnamese dish I've ever had, and I don't like that flavor. It's why I don't eat Vietnamese. No idea what it is, but it's in everything-Vietnamese and in this beef noodle soup. But, as my wife liked it, I'll have to score that as a positive for them.\n\nThe two of us ate for a bit over $16. We both walked away full, and had some soup leftover. All-in-all, \"A-OK\". Not wonderful or spectacular, but pretty good."^^ . . "2"^^ .
