I think you’re correct, ‘McBagel’ even though you can’t spell “consistency.”

Chinese food sucks, it has ALWAYS sucked, but it was ‘trendy’, it was ‘cool’, it was the ‘thing to be seen doing’, it was all bullshit.

Chinese food is great — for chinese.

I think Americans should pay more attention to Korean food and to Thai food. These people were (and are) FAR better attuned to fine cuisine than the chinese ever were, or ever will be.

Chinese food is a lot like chinese products — INFERIOR at every level.

But then, that’s just MY humble opinion, as an American who has been studying and sampling asian cuisine for nearly 60 years now.

I think Chinese food in general has fallen behind other ethnic cuisines such as indian and korean & Thai in terms of quality and consistancy.

I actually didn’t finish my food, I got full. I didn’t think the drinks were watered down, just not strong.. most definitely better then some of the drinks I’ve had around town for the same price.

I been to this joint plenty of times. Glad they inally got a spotlight on them.

The food is okay at best (smaller portioned than any other Chinatown fare/American takeout so don’t expect to be stuffed) and their cocktails aren’t strong. Very nice ambience though and good date spot…plus your date won’t see you pigging out or get sloppy drunk ;)

RE: “This isn’t your dirty Chinese take out joint.”

Well, thank GAWD for small favors. There are certainly enough of the dirty kind to go around (even here in the D.C./Baltimore area).

Did I ever tell you about the joint in Washington state where we saw dogs being butchered in the kitchen?
