"when i was 11 my mother taught me how to use an Abacus. i felt like i was given \"ancient chinese secret\". which is odd, because how the hell did my mother get an ancient chinese secret. she was a white woman from Rhode Island..but anyways..i was all into this thing..doing my homework, keeping track of how much money my friends owed me, took it with me when i was buying groceries at the store.\n\nsadly, i got out of practice...now i look at the damn thing like every other american and wonder. wtf it is that thing.\n\nLunch Specials are affordable, food is pretty good. nothing all that special. it's just a catch all american-chinese food place. if you in the area and are looking for lunch options give it a try. if you are looking for great asian food, give it a pass. i think i paid 7.50 for lunch. 10 with tip."^^ .
