Its no chinatown...
Tuesday, July 18, 2006
If you're looking for a chic atmosphere, delicious bar drinks, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your chinese food didn't come out of a dirty kitchen in chinatown, well then this is the place for you. The down side is, you'll be chowing on mediocre food and paying for plates priced to pay for the statue of the horse out front. If that's you, terrific - eat here.
But, if you're like me, and prioritize food quality over sex-appeal, then don't bother breaking your chopsticks apart. My chief complaint about this place is that the food is INAUTHENTIC (think Americanized chinese takeout on a nice plate w/garnish) and average at best. The dishes were bland and sloppy, rather than fresh and flavorful.
Bottomline: If you're Asian or love chinese food and are looking for authentic cooking, you'll depart sadly disappointed by your meal with only the horse-statue to comfort you on your way out.
