Think Oodles of Chic for the Cheaps
Wednesday, January 01, 2003
This Union Square standby is where I take friends or co-workers if we want incredibly cheap eats and drinks not making a dent in the wallet. The best compliment is from my foodie friend who says for the price per entree the portions were quite substantial. Considering, he's a bottomless pit. Best hits are the grilled squid appetizers and the grilled pork rice bowl. On the liquid side, Lychee Martini and the Mojitos quenches the thirst.
However, come after 8 PM, be patient enough to deal with the shoulder rubbing traffic by the door and the sometimes Diva-esque attittude from the Host or Hostess. Grab some matchbooks on the way out, they're chic looking souvenirs.
Pros: Good Value, Consistent Quality
Cons: Noisy, Non-comfy seating, Not Romantic
