Critic's Review

Today I had a 1998 moment. I went to a restaurant because of wildly outdated info on their website and almost no info online. The way it used to be.

This place claims "NY Style Chinese Food", and when I used to work in NYC I ate Chinese food twice a week; not only because it was cheap but because it was good. If you knew where to go, you ordered the salt and pepper pork chops, which are a lot better than they sound when prepared properly. This place has it on their online menu and I had to go to another place not too far from here, so I picked up some food.

They advertise a "casual dining experience", which for Chinese food is usually a card table and a box, so I decided to do takeout. From the outside the place looks like nothing; upon entry there's the standard counter and minimal decor.

There was no-one at the counter; the dining room isn't bad; I probably would have eaten in if I knew, but ultimately I'm glad I didn't.

They had menus on the counter and alas, no more salt and pepper pork chops. They had salt and pepper shrimp and squid, but I didn't want that. I could have asked them to make it, but as it turned out I had enough trouble ordering a combo.
