The menu sports the expected variety of Chinese dishes from egg rolls to Moo Goo Gai Pan. I was greeted and seated cordially by my server, who promptly took my order. I started with hot and sour soup, which arrived within two minutes. It had the textural elements of egg drops, tofu, bamboo in a medium brown lightly spicy broth that rated overall as an okay presentation of a popular soup. I ordered the Twice Cooked Pork as my entree, which arrived about ten minutes after I finished my soup. The dish visually sported an eye pleasing combination of sliced pork, cabbage, waterchestnut, bamboo, green bell peppers, crushed red pepper, and mushrooms; all of which were in a mildy sweet and light spiced sauce. The bitterness of the cabbage offset the sweet of the sauce and the spice was so mild it was barely noticable. While the service was expedient, the entree lacked the grandeur of the ambiance around me. Perhaps the constant nattering and loud exclamatory conversation between the floor manager and one of the cooks across the restaurant in one of the booths didn't help. For a conversation that was taking place at work, it struck me as two friends just "cutting up". It took a more deragatory tone when I answered a cell call at the table and I heard repetitions of "No, I am already here!" exclaimed mockingly in my direction. Bad form. If you like visual ambiance but no substance, then try this restaraunt....but bring your own food.
