oddest greatest chinese in toledo. title says it all.
the waitresses are always amazingly friendly and awesome (when someone tells me i look like i'm from a movie star when they are an adorable clone of ziyi zhang they get my immediatly approval for that alone) and super suggestive about dishes.
the atmosphere is a complete mind twist too. on the outside it looks like a creepy ghetto joint or like it belongs in the dirtiest heart ofchinatown san fran, but once inside it's a clean and cozy brick interior new table atmosphere. there are large tv's to pay attention to at either side of the restaurant, a huge tank with fresh lobster and fish selection. and the plates are always clean and very new. someone took time and love to make this restaurant.
as for the food it is deliciuos, authentic, and a rare find. like jing chuan they serve with the assumption that you share like in china. their tea is piping hot in expensive cast iron servers. it passes jing chuan in that in never dissapoints the staff will always check in on you but not crowd you.
dishes i reccomend that are amazing? the hot pots are all delicious and yes hot, don't touch them trust me on this. get the brisquet and tendon hot pot for a true taste of the asian continent. the tendons will be tough and chewy but absolutely leaking with flavor. ginger and potato seep through the meat and it's been slow cooked and prepared for hours for it to be as soft and tender as it is. there general tso's isn't the genericchinahouse tso's you expect but a true gourmet meal. dumplings are small and homemade, and they have bubble tea.
for those who don't know what this odd asian serving is, it is exactly what it sounds like. bubble tea is tea with small tapioka bubbles that sink to the bottom and absorb the flavor of the tea and explode in your mouth when you chew down on them. it's an odd and fun thing to get that everyone should at least try once.
if you're looking for good quality chinese food, this is the place to visit!!!
