I love this restaurant -
what's better than a dinner of dumplings, any type of dumplings! I also enjoy
their butter tea.
However I don't go often
because the menu is really limited. I was around when the restaurant launched,
and I think a limited menu was the right advice then. Now that they've been
around many years, I think they should expand the menu a bit to attract repeat
business.
Also, the last time I went
there was the day I caught the dreaded H1N1 flu. I didn't realize I was sick
before I went in, but half way through I started coughing terribly and finally
had to go outside to get it out of my system. I'm sure it's terrible for
business to have a sick person around. However, the staff did not try to shove
me out the door. They were solicitous of my well-being. I tried to pay and
leave as quickly as possible as a courtesy to the other guests, but I
appreciated not being scolded or pushed.

I enjoyed this place
tremendously. The epitome of a mom and pop restaurant, it fulfilled all my
desires for an evening of a casual date. Though we were slightly intrepidated
by the amount of navigation needed to actually figure out what everything was
on the menu, the food was delightful. Fragrant, spicy, and unusual blends of taste.
Before I move on... I must
say that the chai was AH!MAZING.
The whole restaurant was
filled with young couples that, just from the looks of them, I probably would
have found very interesting. The result was a bubbly atmosphere, the perfect balance
of noisy enough to ward of awkwardness, but quiet enough that you can really
have a discussion.
The woman who I assumed
owned the place, as well as serving us, was an absolute delight. Her enthusiasm
in greeting us, telling me I needed to eat more because I was too skinny
(something that will always endear me to a person), and packing the mountainous
amounts of food we had left over into the tiniest boxes you've ever seen all
amounted in me wanting to give her a hug on the way out.
I left smiling just as much
as the pictures of the Dalai Lama hanging on the wall.
