They did also have a selection of cold appetizers. They should have their full menu (which includes grilled items and beer) in a few weeks.</span></span></li>

The braised beef brisket was far superior, even though Jenne and I are usually a bit freaked out by cartilagey meats. Super-flavorful and delicious.</span></span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.0799999237061px; white-space: pre-wrap;">We had a feeling this place would be good when we walked in and saw that:</span></span></li>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.0799999237061px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The place was busy at 1:25 PM on a Friday. Everyone was happily eating from giant platters of food.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.0799999237061px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The captions for the photos of menu items on the wall were in Chinese. No numbers or English translations.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.0799999237061px; white-space: pre-wrap;">We looked around, and it seemed we were the only American-born people in the entire restaurant. Jenne was certainly the lone white person.</span></span></li>
</ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.0799999237061px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The server was excellent at giving recommendations. He listened carefully to our preferences and was decisive! We hate it when servers walk us through the menu or suggest the most boring item, e.g. "How about the broccoli beef? Or the orange chicken?"</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.0799999237061px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I (Miko) am a giant wimp when it comes to spice, and the handmade noodle dish was pretty damn hot. But the noodle was so yummy that I kept eating anyway.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.0799999237061px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The seasoning on everything was excellent.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.0799999237061px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The portions were generous. We had a good amount of leftovers, and by making a pot of rice, we had enough food for dinner for three!</span></span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #222222;">I (Miko) am fairly picky about raw fish, especially salmon, which I find has too strong of a taste unless it's very fresh. I liked the salmon here, probably because they had the sense to marinate it in various flavors rather than leaving it plain!</span></span></span></li>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.0799999237061px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The tofu is just so very delicious here. We could eat a mountain of the braised tofu in that complimentary salad. The fried tofu appetizer over a bowl of rice would make a fantastic, ultra-cheap meal.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 22.0799999237061px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The chicken rice pot tastes like something a traditional Japanese housewife might make for dinner on a weekday for her family. A bit bland, but homey, simple, and nutritious.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.0799999237061px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The restaurant has a nice, cozy feel, with low lighting and Sharpie scribbles on the walls. It would be a nice place for a date.</span></span></li>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You guys. There is another military-named Convoy food blog, called <a href="http://convoyrecon.wordpress.com/">Convoy Recon</a>! It is also run by two friends who love food, but they are gentlemen instead of ladies, and they are not librarians. They are however completely charming and cool and have the nicest friends ever. And live in my neighborhood! They've gotten about halfway through the recon(quest) and were kind enough to invite us to join them in their visit to Dede's.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'll let their <a href="http://convoyrecon.wordpress.com/2014/05/30/dedes-teajuice-city/">writeup </a>speak for the food experience (hooray, they liked both dishes we recommended, even though the cumin lamb is usually better than it was that day) but it was a lovely meal both food and conversation-wise. We'd reconquer with them any time!</span><br />

<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We had very low expectations because they had a gigantic menu, and we were grateful that it did not suck.</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The server totally gaijined us! To gaijin (verb, from the Japanese word for foreigner) is to assume that customers can't handle interesting dishes because they are not of the restaurant's cuisine's ethnicity. We asked her what her favorite dish was on the menu, and she answered the chow mein and fried rice. Yeah right!</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The fried rice was nicely seasoned and simple. It could have used more pepper, though.</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The beef tasted like it often does at Chinese restaurants -- strangely tender and gelatinous. We both find that a bit too creepy to eat. </span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We thought the noodle dish tasted like pretty good yakisoba, minus the worcestershire-ish flavor of yakisoba sauce.</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">They don't have any condiments on the table, not even soy sauce. The server looked a little taken aback when I (Miko) asked for it.</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I had never had this type of bao before, and I liked them! But not as much as I like good xiaolongbao.</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In the end, we thought it was pleasant, but not remarkable. Jenne commented that, while it tasted fine, we did not have the satisfied, happy-feeling in our stomachs afterward that Dumpling Inn gives us.</span></li>

<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The pizza dough was crispy on the outside, just the right level between doughy and fluffy in between. It didn't have too much sauce on it, either.</span></li>

It was clear he took pride in working at the restaurant. He asked us if we wanted the shrimp heads from the sushi fried, and he took the trouble to inquire with the chef which fish was freshest today.</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Despite the adorable server, the meal was underwhelming in the most boring way. The food and the ambience of the restaurant was just so meh.</span></li>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i style="font-weight: bold;">Why? </i> It is kind of hilarious that after this whole journey and all this work, our long-time favorite still ranks first. But now we feel extra-justified in loving it best! Dumpling Inn was the first place we ever had xiaolongbao, and we have imprinted on them. We've had beloved, reputable xiaolongbao in other cities, but<i style="font-weight: bold;"> </i>they never tasted as good as our Dumpling Inn's. We love that they've kept it small, because they could choose to expand in a bigger location on Convoy if they wanted to. Yes, they have their off days, but that is because they actually <i>cook</i> their dishes from scratch. It doesn't exactly have x-factor, but it gives us a happy-tummy feeling after the meal. Even people who don't like vegetables (cough, Miko, Nick) like the crack greens!</span></div>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The tteokbokgi is really spicy, and it's still not as flavorful as other versions we've had. Chon Ju Jip's is better!</span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The noodle soup dishes are quite delicious. The broth is yummy! (</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I REALLY like the clam noodle soup.)</span></li>

<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 1.4;">This used to be Old Village. The server told us that the owner has changed but the menu is the same. Maybe it was the items we ordered, but this meal left a much stronger impression than last time!</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 1.4;">The dumplings are lightly crispy all the way around! How do you do that??</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 1.4;">We like the dumpling sauce. They must have mixed it themselves -- it has chopped green onion in it.</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 1.4;">The panchan was delicious, probably the best we've had on Convoy! (The potatoes were a little undercooked, but everything else was amazing.) We've gotten used to seeing the same panchan over and over, so it was a nice surprise to see dishes that we didn't recognize.</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 1.4;">The parched chicken and rice was definitely new to us, and we had no idea how to eat it. The dish could have fed 5 people. The chicken is soft and tasty, but the rice porridge is completely flavorless. Maybe it's supposed to be? They gave us a tiny dish of salt each -- definitely not enough for all that rice. Although we probably wouldn't order it again, we enjoyed trying it, and the whole experience made us want to try more food here.</span></li>

And what better way to honor our accomplishments than to spend a whole day on Convoy Street?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">We'll probably have to come back just to try it.</span></td></tr>

<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The servers were very pleasant.</span></li>

<ul style="margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;">
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The music was at a nice level, not too loud like everywhere else. We appreciated that the sound on the TV is off.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;">
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It had a relaxing atmosphere. They would have X-factor if they'd wall off half of the restaurant. It's too big. One large portion is pretty much unused, with a few pieces of random furniture and kitchen equipment sitting there. Kind of eerie.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;">
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I did like the squid panchan (which Jenne pointed out as being very fishy). It reminded me of baby anchovy <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsukudani">tsukudani</a>, which I used to eat straight out of the bag.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;">
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We didn't get the dish that was recommended as THE BEST because it had a ton of chili peppers next to it on the menu. No way could I have handled the spice.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;">
<li style="line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The chicken and sauce: the breading was light and crispy and yummy, but the actual chicken underneat was mostly gristle and not enough meat.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;">
<li style="line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I thought that the shrimp was REALLY overcooked. (Erik did like it.)</span></li>

<li style="line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The corn cheese needed sugar and a milder cheese.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;">
<li style="line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We wanted eggs and ramen in the spicy rice cake!</span></li>

<li style="line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Guess what -- this was the last restaurant on our route! We have finished our Convoy Conquest!!! (Although not really, because a lot of places have closed and new restaurants have popped up, but still, we have made it all the way down and all the way back!) On Saturday, August 24, we shall celebrate CONVOY DAY.</span></li>
