Excellent
If you want food which satisfies your gut, leaves you conscience clear, your mind bright, and your wallet intact, this is the place. Sure, it's a store front, so it won't win any Valentine's Day ambiance awards, but the food will bring you back time and again.    [17 Mar 2004 11:29:54]

My favorite restaurant
When you walk in, it doesn't seem like much - the small dining area contains just a few plain tables and chairs, a fridge, and the cash register. A couple of paper lanterns provide the only decorative touch. I'm not too concerned with atmosphere, though - and you won't be either, if you give this place a try. The food will bring back great memories of your cheap, carnivorous Chinese food days, minus that sick feeling you get from the MSG and general fattiness. The food is absolutely delicious and authentic, and the menu provides just as much of a selection as any other Chinese meat-based restaurant of its kind. Vegan meats featured include beef, lamb, chicken, fish, lobster, crab, pork, ham, duck, and squid. For $3.75 you can get a lunch special with rice and an appetizer. If you ask, the woman who runs the place will also sell you some of the imported soy meats she uses in the recipes. This is THE best place to get a casual vegetarian dinner or lunch, or to load up on take-out with friends.    [05 Sep 2004 21:23:49]
