when you want good. we've eaten here often when we are in seattle, as mychinesebff says the food is good. we often have scallops, broccoli, something with sweet walnuts, green beans (i love green beans and t&t makes them crispy-cooked) and something with a dry-salty rub. i don't always know what i am eating, because my friend usually orders in chinese, and we are surrounded mostly bychinesediners. that's always a good sign in my book. food is reliably good and the prices are reasonable.
