Ambiance:
An odd mix of Chinese decor, and a supplemental Korean menu page, this restaurant sang of conversations in Japanese. We've been to a northern Chinese restaurant before, and this had a similar menu.
Service:
We went at a somewhat busy time, but the waiters and waitresses were friendly and helpful. When trying to figure out what to eat, the waitress suggested we try this or that; the house specialties were this and this; sorry, but it's not in season. Friendly. We were in for a surprise, though.
Food:
At the suggestion of our waitress, we got the hot and sour soup, the fried garlic fish, and the black bean noodles.
- Hot and sour soup: More variety than what we're used to, this hot and sour soup tasted more like an egg drop soup with black pepper, and a hint of sour. The variety included shrimp, beef, egg, seaweed, and many other ingredients. Not too hot; not too sour. Just right.
- Fried garlic fish: It was a bit too fried and battered for our tastes.
- Black bean noodles: It was a bit too oily for our taste. But it wasn't too salty, and the noodles were nice.
Value:
A rather prime location, the price per entree was a bit more than an average Chinese restaurant, but the variety in each of the plates was a nice touch. It was good, but we'd pay a little less than the price on the menu. The total, for the three plates and tip, came out to about forty dollars.
Overall:
A bit pricey.
Happy pi day!
