Quite a large seating area gave the favorable impression that they were probably not a bad place at which to dine. We happened to be one of only two couples in the restaurant at the time. We had excellent customer service. We ordered some custom dishes, but to our surprise the waitress adamantly refused to make one of them, explaining that what we were asking for simply would not work due to the textures and flavors combining in the wrong way. We finally, and reluctantly, conceded. The waitress seemed to be extremely knowledgeable about the way the flavors of the meals interacted. What we discovered when our food came was an exciting and really unique Chinese taste that was quite simply unequaled in our experience. The hot and sour soup was perfectly zesty, the curried noodles with tomato (custom made) was very curried and very good, and we particularly savored the eggplant with garlic sauce. The tea was a mixture of Oolong and Jasmine. Portions were unusually large for the price. We also discovered that had we actually gotten that custom mixture we had ordered we would have been disappointed. The waitress had been right all along, and we repented of our initial frustration. We plan to return on our next trip to Seattle.
