“This place is incredible. At only 13 dollars a seat, it's well worth the price even if you only get one bowl--as long as you have to know what goes into making good Asian food.Hint--it's not the szechuan, chili, or soy sauce that make up the body of your flavor. It's the various types of garlic, ginger, and sesame oil that give Asian food its deep, complex flavor--and you don't need much. (That's why the sesame oil ladle is small. Probably diluted with vegetable oil too--that stuff is like whiskey when it's straight.)I thought the cheesecake rangoon would be a silly gimmick dish, but it actually has a really balanced flavor. They clearly took into account how much more cloying it would be when warm and toned it down.“
