Stopped in about a month ago to pick up some "spicy chicken fingers" and have a drink in the lounge. The lounge itself is pretty grim, lacking any sort of attractive decor or personality, just a long rectangular room with a TV at the end and not much lighting. It has its regulars, though, and the bartender -- a young, tall Asian man -- was attentive and poured a good-tasting mai tai that had a little kick to it. Seems like the kind of place one would be calling a cab from.
Re: the "spicy chicken fingers": I had expected something like traditional (that is, typical Polynesian-style) deep-fried chicken fingers with some spicy batter. Instead, I got a quart of something resembling Hon Sue Gai, deep-fried chicken tenders in sauce with peppers and onions and maybe a few other vegetables. While it wasn't exactly the guilty-pleasure finger food I had expected, it was quite delicious and filling. A nice surprise, on the whole (though difficult to eat in the car on the way home).
This place ain't fancy, but my experience is that the food is good (if a slight bit out of the norm for cheap Chinese cuisine) and the lounge, while spartan, could be fun in the right frame of mind.
Went to the Obama rally on 10/27 and came here afterwards to grab lunch and wait for the traffic to die down. When my friend and I first walked in, the waitress greeted us from the dining room and invited us to sit down. The entire dining room looked like a grenade went off in it; the waitress said a large party had left 5 minutes before we arrived.
So we sit down, the waitress brings us water and tea and we order our food. My friend orders the sweet & sour chicken and I order to the #1 "Tidbits". The food was your standard chinese food; nothing special but also not bad either. As we're sitting there we notice more and more people are coming in but a lot of the tables weren't being cleaned. After a while my friend and I noticed that the waitress that was waiting on us was the only waitress in the whole damn restaurant. Don't get me wrong, she was doing a good job but I think the owners need to realize that one waitress can't serve everyone lunch and clean the tables at the same time. Since she was the only waitress it took us a little while to get the check so we could leave. Â
I really felt bad that she was the only waitress there. I could tell that she was really stressed out. I would have given this place a better rating but staring at dirty tables the entire time we were dining got really annoying.
