Has potential, but crowded and noisy!
Wednesday, December 28, 2005
To be fair, we tried Chiang's Gourmet for Christmas Eve dinner, so it may have been unusually crowded and noisy, but getting service, including ordering, water, table settings for *all* our guests (there were 6 of us), our drinks, and the meals took FOREVER. We had two guests over 90 years old, so we ordered from the less-authentic menu, six family style Sezchwan dinners. The food was probably the best Chinese I've found so far in Seattle, but in all the dinner lasted *two and a half hours* -- much longer than we expected, or wanted, and every part of the meal came out separately. In fact, one item I ordered never arrived at all. I'd give this another try and certainly recommend it to anyone looking for good Chinese food, but if the service didn't improve I wouldn't give it a third chance -- the food wasn't good enough for that.
