I can't believe this place is just around the corner from my flat and I just now found out about it! A friend and I went for lunch and it was awesome. They have a lunch menu where you pick things off a buffet and they fry them up together Mongolian Grill - style. Vegetarians rejoice: finally a spicy (or not - your preference) wok dish with tofu and as many vegetables as you want!
There are appetizers on the buffet: vegetarian egg rolls (though admittedly, not very many vegetables in them - mostly they were the fried wrappers), salad, and a vegetable soup with spinach, tomato, egg, and noodles. (And possibly some other things? I kind of inhaled the soup. It was great.) For the non-vegetarians, there are meaty egg rolls and huge spring rolls with shrimp, plus some other options I didn't ask about since, you know, meat.
For the main dish, you pick out what you want and put it on a plate. I went with broccoli, two types of mushrooms, baby bok choy, and cabbage. (There were at least 5 or 6 different meats to choose from also.) The tofu was not on the buffet but the server said they could add some in the back. You choose your own sauce: I went with piquante (naturally). She asked how spicy I wanted it, and I said "not very" because I wanted to share with my almost one-year-old. The last option is: rice or noodles. I chose noodles. They grilled it up for us and my plate came out beautifully: vegetables and tofu in a spicy (yay!) sauce, with noodles (and a bit of mushroom and green onion) on the side. It was delicious.
We ended with coffee which was okay.
But I don't want to end my review on an "okay" note. The waitress was so incredibly nice. She chatted with us a bunch and even held my daughter so I could eat! (The baby girl wasn't feeling well so of course she wanted to be in mommy's lap - not very conducive to eating, especially when chopsticks are involved!) She walked her around the restaurant and distracted her with the aquarium and other decor. What a sweet lady!
This place is going on my "regular" list. If you like good Chinese, I suggest you give it a try! read more
