Notes:

• Apparently, Howie, Jenne, and I were trying to eat our way through the whole menu.  This is a very reasonably priced place, and most people would not end up spending $25 each on a meal here.  We just couldn't stop.
• We would come back just for the juices.  They are cheap and amazing.
• The Fish & Egg Chow Mein was our favorite.  We especially enjoyed the way the crispy noodles went soft as they soaked up fish & egg sauce.  Sounds gross, but it's so good.
• The beef wrap is pretty delish -- it's a little sweet, but the meat is juicy and fatty.
• The chicken wings are moist inside, but they're a little greasy, and they would be much improved by more salt and MSG.
• The greens are good, but I'd rather have the sauteed greens at Dumpling Inn. (Miko)
• Beef noodle soup: the texture of the meat is good.  According to Howie, the flat noodles aren't traditional, but Jenne and I like them. 
• The desserts were ginormous.  They are meant to be shared between three people at least.  Although that didn't stop us from ordering two.
