Eric – Sadly, crowds don’t equate to quality (i.e. olive garden, red lobster, outback, (fill in the blank mass market chain restaurant)).

The first sign was that Olive Garden commercial that implied that Italian Americans actually ate that garbage they serve.

It’s Red House that has the dim sum. I was using Mi La Cay as a reference because it stands out at the corner of Rainier and Dearborn. Tea Garden has pretty OK dim sum, although I’ve ranted a couple times in the past...

Tuller – is pricey and there selection is actually not overwhelming, this is ok as I guess it is based on availability. I once ranted against Garden of Eden on Montague, but last weekend I had a very nice spread of cheeses...

and its not the olive garden. well ok my rant is over. i did like the idea of bubblegum flavored broccoli though, yummmmmm. if science can do that why cant they caffinate brie.

this is going to sound like a rant because i’m a little riled up, so i apologize. but where does the line between authenticity and an interpretation lie? i don’t want to debate what’s better, authenicity has...

We really like Grand Shanghai on Grand and Hamline in St Paul. The Princess Garden on Rice and Larpenteur, also in St Paul, gets good reviews. We think the portions are smaller and the price about equal to Grand Shanghai, so the...

). the flushing branch of kum gang san is clearly better than the manhattan branch, but that’s only because the manhattan one is that horrible. anyway, to end my pretentious rant :P and give you some good bbq suggestions: jade...

Secret Garden Tea House 721 Lincoln (between 8th and 9th Ave.) Thanks for the report. It always catches my eye as I drive by because it looks so pretty. Good to hear that it is as good as it looks.

!!!!!!!! sorry for ranting on but give them a try. service was really good 1st time but i think the server was a little young and inexperience this time. but who cares- i am there for the food!!!!!! adios CHUNG!!

FT, absolutely. If the weather is nice, reserve a table in the back garden. If not (or you prefer sitting inside) be sure to ask for a table on the main floor where you enter, and not upstairs where they stuff tourists. You MUST...
