Some of the most generous portions - especially the lunch specials - I've found in New York, quick service, and consistently *pretty* good. That $2 side of coconut rice is a welcome addition to any meal; I also like the banana dessert. It's cheap and filling food, but it's often greasy (at least some of the noodle dishes and the thousand-layer pancake) and it doesn't always taste fresh. My Rangoon Night Noodles were covered with garlic that was unappetizingly burnt. I don't know if this is a clash of cultural palettes, or if it was poorly prepared, but I ended up flicking a lot of them away.
Pros: generous portions, inexpensive
Cons: greasy, burnt/overcooked?
