I wanted something different for dinner and this place has been on my list to visit for a while…read more There were plenty of parking spaces to choose from. When we went inside, there was only one other party there and no music, so just whispers and the sounds of utensils against plates. There are about 4-5 booths and 1-2 regular tables to choose from. Since l am not familiar with Sichuan cuisine, I had Al help me choose my dishes. I went with the dumplings in chili sauce, fried rice, eggplant in garlic sauce, and chongquin chicken. While we waited, we were given water. The dishes came out at different times. They first served us the dumplings which were really good. The sauce they were in did have some chili sauce, but it was mostly like a sweet soy sauce and really tasty. It came with about 6 dumplings with a perfectly cooked wrapper and filled with flavorful pork - simple but delicious. Next was the eggplant. I was expecting a heavy garlic presence, but it was more like a sweet and sour sauce. The eggplant was very tender, but really hot so we had to wait to let it cool down a bit. The rice came after. I honestly think this was one of my favorite dishes since it was perfectly cooked, great flavor, and good portion. Lastly, the chicken came out. There was a large pile of chicken, but half of it was peppers. The chicken was cut into little bite sized pieces, each fried perfectly. Some pieces were more tongue numbing than others but it was nothing aggressive; very gentle and comfortable numb. I would have liked if there were music, but the no music was fine too; an escape from chaotic reality. Our total was around $50, which wasn't bad for the amount of food we got. I would come back to try other items.

I have never had a bad meal here, and I always try to be adventurous and try something new each time. With that being said, I always get an order of the Chongqing diced chicken. It is one of my fave dishes of all time (be warned, it is SPICY. Not for the faint of heart). The sauteed pig intestine with chili is another fave of mine. The dining area is spacious and cute, and the staff here is always incredibly nice and knowledgeable. Very helpful when there is a lot of dishes you might not be familiar with ! Chengdu is a must try if you are in the Smith Hill area of Providence. In fact , it's worth a trip to Smith Hill all on it's own.

I've been to LaMei previously, but they are offering an AYCE lunch menu for 30.95 (add $10 for VIP…read moreoption) so it sounded like a good option. The thing I've always liked about LaMei is that they always have fresh options. For AYCE the portions are pretty good. I wasn't expecting to get as much as I did for an order, so something to think about when placing orders. Sometimes you might get a couple of lonely mushrooms or 3 green leaves for a serving of Bok Choy. That was not the case here. The fish and meats were fresh and if you opt for the VIP option, there are appetizers included to nibble on while you cook your other stuff. You also get some more premium options and the hand pulled noodles had a nice chew to them. The service was good. They were efficient with cleaning plates as we used them and the food came out quickly. The sauce station has all the staples you'd expect to assemble your sauce. The AYCE option makes things a bit more affordable, but even if you don't use it, the fresh food will make it worthwhile.

We are not a fan of cream cheese in sushi, so we have been sticking to the same rolls. We got Bibimbap and the Kimchi Fried Rice. Look. The menu and restaurant is basically Chinese. It's kind of weird to even have it on the menu. I would not order the bibimbap again; it is very gochujang on white rice. The kimchi fried rice is pretty decent Chinese fried rice with some kimchi in there. Both dishes could use a lot more veggies. I got the kumquat with lemon boba and quite enjoyed it.

My husband was talking to the delivery drivers waiting and they said this is a normal occurrence. So if you want your food fast, try one of the other restaurants on the street maybe. They also acted like they never received my order but pinned the receipt to my order and I can clearly see the pick up time and order time on it. Do better jtab!

She's not just friendly and attentive, she clearly knows her craft. She made one of the best Old Fashioneds I've had in a long time. Perfectly balanced, smooth, and exactly what you want when you sit down to unwind. The food absolutely matched the experience at the bar. The White Bean & Tomato soup was fantastic. It had a rich, comforting flavor and tasted incredibly fresh. It's the kind of dish that seems simple but is clearly done with care. For the main course, I ordered the sirloin steak cooked medium rare, and it came out exactly as ordered. Perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in getting the details right. Between the great food and Samantha's outstanding service and cocktails, Avenue N delivered a really memorable experience. If you're lucky enough to grab a seat at the bar while Samantha is working, you're in for a great night. I'll definitely be back.

The menus are seasonal and always have great options. The salmon is always cooked perfectly and I love the seasonal sides.

I can't forget to mention the brussel sprouts appetizer.... 10/10! I hope they bring back the cauliflower appetizer too.

After many years of absence, we decided to get some food from Apsara…read more The beef teriyaki was as good as we remembered. Nicely marinated, grilled with a nice crisp on the edges. It came over a bed of fried rice that was very good. It was made with short grain rice, which was not my preference. I like jasmine or long grain rice for my fried rice. The crab rangoon was crispy and crunchy with a moist cream cheese center. We also got an eggplant dish with chicken and it was very well done, a bit heavy on the brown sauce, but still very good.

I hate the new placemat style laminated menu... the print is small, it's hard to read, and not every dish lists a price or what comes with. The service is spotty. There was one server and one person handling takeaway orders. There were few occupied tables when we arrived yet our server was distracted. We had to ask for a pot of tea twice. We ordered vegetable pad thai and were brought chicken pad thai. Granted, we were offered the opportunity to take the chicken pad thai home at no charge, which we accepted. We did not receive fortune cookies at the end of our meal. I still think their wonton soup is the best in town. We ordered the small ($3.50) with extra veggies, which was delicious. The Chinese egg rolls were meh; nothing special. And the pad thai, both the chicken and vegetable, were adequate. Unfortunately, their bathroom could use a thorough cleaning. Yuck. The total cost for 2 soups, 2 egg rolls (1 order) and one pad thai was $25.15, so the price point is reasonable. There is a 3% upcharge for using a credit card. In the future, I believe I would only visit Apsara for takeaway.

I saw "Soukie's Secret Sauce" in another Yelp review and made my own version without the bean curd or sugar. It was a great starting point, and mixing a sauce is part of the fun. I've eaten hot pot in several countries, and each place does things a little differently. If this is your first visit, ask plenty of questions so you can settle in and enjoy the experience. The gender neutral restrooms have always been immaculate when I've visited. On this particular night, the restroom on the right was out of paper towels. I let the staff know, and they took care of it. That kind of attention adds to an already enjoyable meal. I'd gladly come back.
