Terrible food quality. The red bean dessert balls made my wife very sick, and we can't even think of that item without getting nauseous.

We ordered a couple different things for delivery, and the driver didn't follow any of the instructions on where to bring the food. The food was improperly packaged so half of one container was dumped over all of the other containers with sauce leaking through the bag. The shumai were bad - they smelled straight-up wrong and they looked 100% like they were microwaved from a freezer bag. The rest of the food was so flavorless I actually went and did a Covid test just to make sure what was happening was real. The only thing that was fine was the rice, though white rice is kind of hard to mess up. Chicken & broccoli had no flavor, the general tso's tofu had no flavor, and the Mongolian beef tasted like they cooked the parts of the beef that were the most rubber-like without any seasoning. Overall, will never order from here again. Regret leaving a tip online when I ordered. read more

we came into the restaurant for a late meal and expected to not be seated but the lady in the front welcomed us in and allowed us to dine in! it was very considerate given that we came in almost 45 minutes before they closed. they served us freshly cooked food and everything was tasty! the lo mein in particular hit the spot! it wasn't anything super special but it was the best lo mein ive had in a while upstate! the shrimp was perfectly cooked and it was great as leftovers too. the inside of the restaurant has a nice ambience because of their unique lights! i will definitely come back to try other things on their menu! read more

I used to love this place, but the last few times I've ordered, it has been far below what I was accustomed to from them. There was a gentleman there before us who ordered about $30 of food by himself was yelled at and told to leave, and he couldn't eat there because they were closing in 35 minutes. My hot and sour soup, which is the last I'll order from them, had a bamboo shoot and a carrot in it and broth. Soooo disappointed. And no fortune cookies! read more

The food is incredible and authentic. I'm someone who is very picky, but the dishes are just genuinely delicious. As for the service, it might be a little difficult for those who don't speak Chinese, but I went during very late hours so only the chef was there. The experience might be different with waiters. Otherwise, if you speak Chinese, then the service is great. The chef is very friendly. As for the environment, literally no one else was there but me and my family, so it was very quiet and we had the place all to ourselves. It is summer though, and as I said, we went during the opposite of peak hours, so mileage may vary. read more

Tang is some of the best Chinese-American food I have ever had. I have most often ordered the American classics at Tang's to great success. Normally I am not a fan of wonton soup but their broth is SO flavorful. The texture of the wontons also manages to remain firm but reasonably doughy. Tang's regular beef dumplings are really tasty too and it makes me wish Syracuse had a dedicated dim sum place. Admittedly I am not a fan of their fried tofu- the time I had it the tofu was soggy rather than crispy. The heat- results may vary. The first time I had Tang's General Tso's - s a person who usually orders medium - it lit me up in a good way; the last time I had General Tso's is was okay/non-existent. When I last tried the Hot and Sour soup...yeah...it had me begging for mercy and not eating anything spicy for the next month. Take your chances but assume spicy if you are heat sensitive. The restaurant interior is a hole in the wall vibe, mostly geared toward take out customers. They do have lunch express buffet, and is sit-down optional it's not full table service. All of Tang's food is really flavorful, and they are my go-to for take out in Syracuse. read more

You get a lot of good food at a more than reasonable cost. I had the mushroom chicken, delicious. Good selection of buffet style setup at lunchtime. Staff is friendly. Comfortable seating although a little chilly if you get their too early. Great selection and you can order online ahead of time. Limited selection of bottled and canned drinks available. Convenient location across from the library and Galleries building. read more

Food was great very traditional Chinese cuisine! The soup was amazing and the noodles were great as well

Once again I must downgrade my review. They have sunk to the level of absolutely phoning it in. Service is dreadful. Food is bland. Atmosphere is depressing. What a complete failure this place has become. Finally learned my lesson. I am never coming back. read more

This place was hiding from the street view. Was having a hard time finding the place. When i get inside, no one behind the door, yelled hello many time. Decided to call instead and let them know that i am at the door and ready to place an order. After few minutes waiting, decided to remove the table barrier and go to kitchen to get help. A lady took my order and it came out wrong. Ordered small chicken Fried Rice and small beef fried rice to go, received chicken Lo mien and beef lo mien instead. Also the noodle is very salty. Definitely will NOT come back. And please stay away! read more

Tang Flavor - Dining room - Szechuan Near Me - Syracuse, New York

Based solely on being directed to a "weakened" rapid choice menu instead of the full menu I am reserving my right to change my opinion of this place at a later date. Kind of upset that they directed me and my family to an extremely limited menu of 6 items when patrons of the Asian persuasion were seated and handed the full menus. Don't know if they assumed we were typical Americans who only knew the Americanized version of Chinese dishes or not. Regardless, we were not afforded the same options and that's unfortunate. Regarding the food. It was tasty. Absolutely no complaints about the food, even though our afforded options were limited. Full revised review to follow at a later date once we eat off the menu and and are not relegated to a narrow window of options. That's if we return. read more

Stopped by on my way back home with my nephew. The pictures on Yelp looked good so, it lured me in. We parked on the street, it was Sunday, so free parking. When we walked in, nobody was at the restaurant.... hoping we weren't the first customers, we grabbed a table and they brought the menu to review. We went with the following: - Chicken Lo Mein - Cumin Lamb - Shrimp with scallions and ginger - Dan Dan Noodles You can't go wrong with Cumin Lamb, this dish saved the whole review :) It was what I expected and we definitely finished the dish. If you haven't tried this, definitely recommended. The shrimp dish was decent, nothing special... just shrimps stir fried with green onions and ginger. What threw me off was Dan Dan Noodles...it seems everyone has their own way of making it... I didn't expect the high content of vinegar in this dish and the dish wasn't hot (as in spicy) compared to other Dan Dan noodles that I've had at other joints. I was put off by the high concentration of the vinegar hitting the back of your mouth. Service was decent, while we were eating, two more people walked in. Looks like this place is busy during the lunch time since it's in downtown location. If I were to go back, I would have to order different dishes and give them a try to really have a full experience... for first visit, three stars and hopefully on my next visit, hopefully I'll be wowed by other dishes they offer. read more

I changed one star to two since I had no diarrhea the next day despite of overpricing and slow preparation time. I'll never eat there again for sure because 8 dumplings for $16 is way expensive and it took more than half hour to be ready. read more

Tang Flavor - Why did my steamed dumplings got dirt on them? - Szechuan Near Me - Syracuse, New York

I usually don't like writing a review after only one visit but I know I'll be returning and I've gotten a good enough sense of what makes Tang authentic and great for an area so devoid of Asian cuisine. In the heart of downtown lies a very unassuming Tang Flavor. When I walked in on a slow Monday night, I was unfortunately the only customer at the time. About fifteen minutes later, a group of about 10 Asian students walked in. If they know what's up then I know I'm in the right place. There were plenty of giant tables so definitely good for groups, another plus to the lazy susans in the middle. Service was prompt and courteous, if not overly attentive. I was waited on three different gentlemen throughout my entire meal. Authentic is the name of the game here. Tofu dry pots, which I cannot wait to try on subsequent visits along with cold noodle dishes, regional specialties of lamb cumin (which I DID partake in) down to offerings such as sliced beef tripe. It's as close to a big city Chinatown that you are going to find in Cuse. I started off with an appetizer of shumai but I wouldn't recommend this to customers. I was expecting something on the more authentic dim sum side but instead got what looked like tiny, not homemade, shumai that I've purchased before in an Asian supermarket. If I had to base the meal on these alone, it would have unfortunately been a huge disappointment. But then the lamb dish came out a few minutes later and WOW. Steaming, spicy, tender lamb all decked out on a bed of cabbage with a side of white rice. I ate every last morsel, it was incredible. This is the reason I came here and one of their star dishes. I was pleased with everything but the shumai and am frothing at the mouth to return. They've got a good thing going here and the city was in desperate need of it. If you want truly authentic Chinese food, Tang is your spot. read more

I came here for dinner on a Thursday evening and it was almost empty though it was about 8:30. There were two other groups here. We entered and they told us to sit anywhere. They immediately brought us menus, asked our drink orders, and brought us lightly salted peanuts to whet our appetites. Two of my family members ordered the combination plate which was an entree that came with fried rice and an egg roll for roughly $8 (plus 25-75 cents). I didn't want all that, so I ordered chicken and broccoli as a small portion for around $6 and added wonton soup. My dad got the same entree but got the large portion for almost double the price. The food came super quick! Maybe because they weren't busy? The soup was good and you could taste that they made the wontons themselves. My chicken was really flavorful and not overly seasoned. The sauce was light and not that thick icky cornstarch fake stuff you typically expect with Chinese food. I could've been happier with softer broccoli though. I couldn't even finish my meal! I should've shared it, though it was bang for your buck already! My dad's portion looked about the same as mine though slightly more chicken. It seemed like a jip to order that much for that price and he wished he had ordered the small portion I did. No one finished their food so it was definitely a large amount for what you pay. The reviews seem to say it's more popular for lunch, which makes sense since many businesses are located nearby. Overall, it's a really great place to eat if you're on a budget! read more

Quick overview: I didn't even get to eat here! I came in for an early lunch. No one greeted me. There were two employees sitting down watching TV. I asked where I could sit. No reply. 2nd ask, the young man asked if I wanted the buffet. I said no thanks. I wanted to order off the menu. He pointed to the dining room and sat back down at which point I walked out. :( read more

I highly recommend the stir-fried dishes and Mapo tofu here. This hidden gem is always on my mind and I think about it every week.

Stopped by for dinner today with clients, and I was pleasantly surprised. The overall experience was good, and if I'm in the area, I'd definitely come back. We got there a little after 6pm and there were only two tables with customers. The waitress was like " sit wherever you'd like". Since the restaurant is a bit dark, we picked one table that's kinda lit up. The waitress was very friendly and had good recommendations. There were three of us and below are the dishes we ordered: Spicy boiled fish: 4.5 stars. It was quite spicy to my taste, but my client who likes spicy food said it's not that spicy. Definitely had good flavor. If I were to order again, I'd ask for mild. Sweet and sour rib : 4 stars. It's a typical shanghainese dish, but this one had potato in it which the authentic one shouldn't. Anyway, the ribs were crispy and the sauce was good. Although I'd like it a bit sweeter, just personal preference. Stir fried snow pea tips: 5 stars! Super flavorful! I almost half of the plate! Spicy and sour potato: 3.5 the flavor was good , but too spicy to my taste. Spare rib soup with radish: 4 stars. This soup is light but packed with flavor. If you don't like the smell of radish, then it's probably not for you. But I happen to like radish, so I enjoyed the soup a lot. read more

Listen, there is no good Chinese food in Syracuse. And all I ever want is Lo Mien. I took a chance on Tang Flavor and while the pick up interaction was kind of weird, I felt safe and it was fast and easy! But my main review is that it was the BEST LO MIEN I'VE EVER HAD. I had a spring roll too and that's as also delicious. So if you want vegetable Lo Mien, I cannot recommend them enough. Their chicken fried rice was okay. But DUDE! THIS LO MIEN! It was a little spicy, very saucy, and just all around amazing. Would definitely order it again and again. read more

More great things to say about Tang Flavor: definitely some delicious and incredible authentic Chinese food. This was my second take out order and I got to explore a bit more of the menu. See my past review for some more details. Another take out order: came back for the Lamb Cumin (so, so, so good!) with nice spice and simple cumin spices and thin, fresh pieces of lamb. I also tried the Noodles w/Meat Sauce -- this is a nice dish value-wise as it comes in at around $6.50 and has some nice noodles over a complex meat sauce. This is the Chinese version of comforting Spaghetti w/meat sauce. A very delicious meal at a low price. Fast, friendly service and delicious food keeps me coming back to Tang Flavor. read more

Another very authentic (not Americanized) Chinese. Downtown central location should be great for all the new people moving into this now bustling area. I recommend ordering from the "Authentic" menu that is clearly labeled as such. read more

At last. A genuine and authentic Chinese restaurant in the heart of Syracuse. 2 menus. One called Chinese for Americans and the other authentic Chinese. And the jewel in the crown....Peking Duck. For those who share my obsession with this, dish, I can tell you it's excellent. It's served with buns, not pancakes and only spring onions but who hasn't got a cucumber in the fridge. And you can order it as a 1/2 or whole. The Chinese style menu is for the more adventurous. I had the grilled pig's intestines which were really good but then I used to live in Hong Kong so it's not new to me. I urge you to be brave and try something out of your comfort zone. I am really happy this place opened. Long may they stay! read more

They seemed to have some menu items you most likely not see else where. The only complaint I have is the soda was a can instead of a fountain drink. read more

Tang Flavor - Front window. - Szechuan Near Me - Syracuse, New York

3 stars and a meh... Perhaps the food is authentic and amazing, and I was really looking forward to it tonight, but I dare you to try and navigate the online or order by phone process for delivery without giving up. I think I provided my address four times - all unsuccessfully, my phone number three times, mentioned I'm staying at a hotel at least three times, and after spelling out the street name of the hotel multiple times - including repeating "West [insert name]" street for the fourth time, I gave up. And we had not even gotten to my credit card number. A note to those who do try online ordering: first, if you enter your billing address, there's no way to enter a different shipping address - the system just assumes you have one address, even though it tricks you by calling it billing to start. Hence, if you're like me and traveling on business, you'll mistakingly enter the address associated with your credit card, only to find out on the next screen that there is no functionality to enter one's "shipping" address for delivery. FAIL. Then one might logically assume you can still call the restaurant to give them your order number to then provide your "shipping" address, pay, and be on with it. Nope! See above. Then one might think that there could be an option to edit your oder - or cancel it - once you receive an email confirmation. Nope! It's a blank email from tangflavor888@gmail.com via Gmail Mobile. My phone call involving all of the above lasted seven minutes, and I gave up once I found myself spelling out "West" multiple times and trying to explain "West [insert name] street" for a main, central street in Downtown Syracuse. If the person to whom I was speaking couldn't understand this street name and/or couldn't communicate effectively with me in order to write this street name down, there was no way I was moving forward to the "what's your credit card information?" step. Exhausted. Still hungry. And bummed, because I was really looking forward to the Cumin Lamb. :( (Giving 2.5/5 stars since I have no basis for a review of their food.) read more

We came here for a late dinner. We received good service and the food was good. They have an American-Chinese menu and a Chinese (authentic) menu. We ordered a dry pot (lamb) from the Chinese menu. They bring a small wok with a little burner on the bottom. The meat was tender and the veggies were not over cooked, we asked for it to be medium heat and I was glad, it was the right amount of spice. read more

My husband and I LOVE this place. They offer eat in, carry out and delivery options. When you arrive they greet you with a hot pot of Jasmine tea and a dish of salted peanuts!! The service is great and food is wonderful. They have two menus; the front half is Authentic Szechuan and the back half is more Americanized. I definite recommend ordering from the front part of the menu. They also have a great lunch special that is very inexpensive. The best part?? Orange slices with your check! MMMM read more

Can't go wrong here with the menu choices. They have a more traditional menu and an Americanized Chinese menu. I usually get the spicy diced chicken with chili pepper (Szechuan style). Have tried other dishes other times and have not been disappointed. Lunch specials are great if you are downtown and need a quick meal. And the portions are large. They give you fresh oranges at the end along with fortune cookies. read more

Place is scary while i was here. No other customer in here, no music, just me and the waitress who's eating her dinner. I ordered the peking duck and i really hope it will be good. Place is outdated but the food could be what makes this place a gem......so here's my take on this place after the my meal. The duck was superb!! Very authentic, skin was crispy, meat was sliced just right to put in to the buns!! I probably will not come back unless I'm craving authentic Chinese because the atmosphere was pretty bad, i was actually watching Netflix while i was eating because it was so quite with no one there!! So i gave it 4 stars purely for the food! read more

This place is my new obsession. Love the dumplings, we never place an order without the dumplings. Tonight tried the tofu seafood soup and this is my new favorite. If you want to add a little kick to the soup add a packet of the hot sauce. This place continues to be great. The dumplings are so good. Tonight ordered the diced chicken with chili pepper sauce. If you like spicy dishes, this is what you should order. read more

My family and I were looking for decent Chinese eating options during our recent trip to Syracuse. We went to a number of places but ultimately settled on this place. The decor in this restaurant is not super fancy but the quality of the Chinese food makes up for it. The food tasted pretty authentic in terms of how Chinese it was. My favorite dish was the salt and pepper fried spare ribs - it was to die for. The meat was very well favored and pretty crispy. I also enjoyed the Kung Pao Chicken dish along with the Beef Brisket in a Casserole dish. I plan to visit this restaurant again when I come to visit Syracuse. read more

We used to order from here all the and loved it. Tonight our food was HORRIBLE!!! the beef lomein tasted like fish and the noodles were dry. The general tso was so dry you could barely swallow it. When we called the women just kept yelling that the food was made correctly and then put the phone dowm and walked away. We finally hung up and called back and she did the same thing. My husband eventually drove back with the unedible food and asked for his money back. Will NEVER order from here again and neither should anyone else. read more

Got dumplings, some noodles, fried rice, kung pao chicken, and ma po tofu. Everything was pretty good, but the ma po tofu was missing some of the characteristic flavor that I expect. I got take out, and at like 6 pm on a Thursday it was absolutely empty, which was pretty crazy. The dumplings were really good though, as were the noodles. I think I would probably go back, but I'm going to try some other restaurants in Syracuse first. read more

On my recent visit to Syracuse, I was longing for the taste of Chinese, not just Chinese rather Pee King Duck. After a "google" search this place popped up. Let me start by saying the location is street side inside of the concrete jungle of the abandoned business center of Syracuse. The ambiance of this place and let's all be honest here, we eat with our eyes as well. This restaurant lacks the traditional look and feel that of a restaurant in its class. The outside temp was 85' and this place offered no cooling comfort. Arrived after 5pm and not a soul was in the place. A young waitress told us to choose a table and later presented us with menus. You could hear a pin fall that's how quiet it was, no music, so sounds of cooking, nothing! It was almost as if they were closed. Unlike other traditional "American" Chinese restaurants, this one offers several "Un-Americanized" selections as well. (A nice treat). We ordered fried dumplings which were quite tasty along with the dipping sauce that accompanied them. The WonTon soup was equal to or slightly above from other places I've ordered from. A unique dish that we ordered was the scallion pancake with beef, $7.50 I think, it was very very good. As a Pee King duck fan, this dish could honestly please such appetite. Nestled within a rolled scallion pancake was thin sliced beef, hoisin sauce and scallion, this almost tasted similar to that of a Pee King duck dish. With that said several times already, we ordered the large order of Pee King Duck which I assume was an entire duck opposed to a half order. At this price I was expecting the usual table side dismantle of the tender, roasted, duck. When the waitress brought out the duck it was on a single dish with some green garnish as if it was the entire duck. For $33 dollars and to AUTHENTICATE that we actually received what was advertised on the menu, and what was represented was an actual Pee King duck, I would've preferred to see the legs and wings and ultimately see it carved and played table side. We asked the waitress if that was it for the duck and she brought out another plate prepared the same way. This led us to believe that the restaurant prepared its "$33 Dollar Pee King Duck" from two deep fried or oven roasted boneless duck breast. Which unfortunately for us was (VERRY DISAPPOINTING). Had they send out the legs and wings as well as the extra meat, then it would've meant the duck was carved in the kitchen rather table side. The outcome of such experience was if this was the first choice I would review the last choice and settle in between. They raised the prices recently, which still aren't bad in comparison to other menu prices. The places needs AC or a fan, some music, some personality and some authentic looking plates, serving wear, tea pot, noodles on the table, duck sauce, hot mustard, ohhhh and Chop Sticks!!! C'mon really??? ***The restaurant doesn't offer any alcohol nor do they have any dessert. I'd give this place a 2 1/2 stars if I could. (3) Stars is generous... read more

On my visit to Syracuse, I decided to try this place out because my boyfriend gets the lunch here almost every day. The foods offered were your typical American-style Chinese foods. While I'm not the biggest fan of this kind of Chinese food, I still enjoyed it quite a bit. I had the lo mein with kung pao chicken and beef, onions, and peppers. My boyfriend had lo mein with kung pao chicken and broccoli and chicken. The lo mein wasn't anything out of the ordinary but the noodles are definitely better than your normal American-style Chinese places. They weren't as starchy, dry, and tough as other places so it was a lot easier to eat down. The Kung Pao Chicken was surprisingly very tasting. The chicken didn't taste like the normal over-breaded chicken and it was pretty tender and well seasoned. The beef, onion, and pepper dish was pretty average at best. The beef was a bit tough to eat and it wasn't as well seasoned as the chicken. It was also very oily which made me lose my appetite for it as I ate more. Overall, I think this place wasn't too bad and they were very generous with their portions. I was very full and only managed to finish half of it. It's definitely a great bang for your buck! read more

This restaurant turned out to be really delicious. It took me a few weeks to try it out when they first opened because I wasn't sure if they were a take out or sit in restaurant. I don't eat a lot of take out, unless its a lazy day. I'm definitely glad I came here though as their food is very good and the prices are just right. You most certainly can order your food ahead of time and get it to go so if that is your thing, you're gtg. I will admit I have ordered from here a couple of times already for take out. If I am in the mood for it, I will drive all the way up here from Liverpool, instead of eating the closer take out joints around here. That's how good they are. I prefer to sit in though. They serve generous tasty portions so I advise you bring some friends and chomp down family style. If you don't know what to eat here, my advice is to just get anything that has to do with noodles or rice cakes. They are beyond delicious and because Syracuse doesn't have a lot of traditional Chinese cuisine, they are an oasis in the desert. I usually have to get it when we travel to NYC. A great restaurant all around. read more

Having read the Yelp reviews, we decided to give this new place a try. That was two weeks ago. Tomorrow we will return for a fourth time. I married into a Chinese family and there's been only one place in the whole area where they would go to celebrate Chinese New Year and other family events, and that's because it was the only place serving authentic Chinese (not the typical Chinese-American that is ubiquitous). But that one is way up in North Syracuse, a bit of a drive. Imagine our surprise and delight when we found, in the heart of Syracuse, truly authentic Chinese dishes featured on the first four or five pages of Tang Flavor's menu! This is the real deal, folks. Someone in that kitchen really knows what they're doing. We've tried dishes from every category and every one was absolutely delicious. The entrees are huge so you might want to order Chinese style: an appetizer or two to pass, and fewer entrees than there are diners (unless everyone is ravenously hungry!), also to pass. Prices are already super-reasonable but this keeps it even more reasonable. All the usual stuff is right, too. Lovely, attentive but not intrusive service. You may have to point to what you want while saying it - she's still learning the English but gets it right every time. Very clean place, plenty of room for sit-down meals but you can also do take-out, delivery and a super-fast express lunch. And you can order online! Located in the heart of downtown Syracuse, this is one of many new retail establishments that are part of the Syracuse renaissance. If you actually have room after eating here, the best ice cream in Syracuse and a great cafe are half a block away. Compared to just about any other downtown, parking in Syracuse is easy and cheap and of course free after 6:00 and on Sundays. You have every reason to give this place a try. read more

I was excited to see a restaurant open up in the old Bagel Shoppe location (may their enthusiastically-stuffed-with-cream-cheese bagels rest in peace) and downtown really could use a good chinese place. Tang Flavor is, very much so, a good chinese place. I ordered the small Kung Po chicken dish ($6.21 after tax) and it is currently blowing my taste buds away. Lightly fried, well seasoned with oil and spice. Very, very good. I picked my lunch up for takeout, but the inside of the restaurant was nice and quiet. It looked like they had a pick your own lunch special of some sort as well. This place would be great for lunch and dinner. I will be visiting Tang Flavor many more times in the future. Two thumbs up. read more

I came in during the week to grab a quick lunch to-go as I was getting ready for a meeting but starving and didn't pack lunch. Womp womp. I was surprised to find that there were also some folks grabbing lunch pretty late as well and took that as a good sign that I was at the right place for my Chinese craving, which was true given that they had express lunch available--yay! So the deal is that they offer 12 items to choose from, most of which are what you typically think of when you think of Chinese take out (americanized): sesame chicken, sweet and sour chicken, beef and broccoli, etc. Surprisingly, I think there were only two veggie options; the sting beans and some other vegetables which looked like they were mixed in with chicken... Luckily I'm not a vegetarian so I had no problem with choosing my meal. I ordered the lo mein with general tso's chicken and string beans and was pleasantly surprised which how tasty everything was! The express lunch is laid out sort of in a cafeteria style which usually is a hit or miss with the food being fresh, but it was definitely a hit for me! I only wished the the chicken was spicer, but hey that's definitely more of a personal preference :) Although the food didn't really stand out much more than what you can imagine for typical (americanized) Chinese food, I was really happy with the affordable price, huge portions and how it all seemed to be fresher than you'd expect for it sitting out and me coming in around 2pm which is well after the usual lunch rush. Tang is definitely going to be my go-to spot of Chinese when I'm craving it! I also see that they do offer more traditional Chinese foods, so I'll have to make it out here for dinner as well! read more
