i'll be going back to the foot masseuse next door. richardson, tx is home to some of the arguably best chinese food outside of the countries more famous "china towns." and although the types of cuisine in this area are mainly ethnic, there's as many restaurants per block as uptown dallas, second only to the astonishing number of foot massage and acupuncture spas. but with options comes competition, including the well known kirin court, just a few steps down the street, and this establishment didn't measure up in either service or food.
entering the restaurant is like walking in half-way through your family's huge thanksgiving dinner- chaotic, loud, babies crying, more people at the table than actual spots, napkins on the floor, you get the picture.
there seems to be some discrepancy among the service offered to american verses asian patriots, this is due in part to the fact that the restaurant is set-up to accommodate non-english speaking customers, which is commendable, since it's goal is to serve a large, non-english speaking community in this area. however, a smile is understood by all languages and there weren't any cast in our direction.
of the three dishes we ordered, none were notable. i'll take the blame there, goodness knows i had no idea what to order and there's only a few hundred items on the menu haha. but, with a more approachable waitress i could have at least asked for some suggestions.
