I’ve read it, and I still can’t tell whether she loves it or hates it. Did someone edit it to size?

Excited to try this place, depending on what their dumplings are like and if they are good, it will be a lot shorter drive for us then Kirin Court in Richardson or Hong Kong Royal in Carrollton.

Ditto to Kirk. I did see “sleek, modern, youthful, quirky, shaggy, and, the” though. Saw neither hate nor love mentioned anywhere.

Matt, you may be better off going to Richardson for dumplings (Maxim’s better than Kirin Court, imho). I tried an order of steamed ones at Lumi and they were mushy. Empanadas were very tasty though (I’ve ried 3 different ones) as were the cocktails. I’ve had the ginger-lime margarita and the pineapple-jalapeno one, which you can order on a scale of 1 to 5 chilis!

whoops, guess I should have said “specialty drinks”

This place is kinda bland and greasy to be honest but I guess thats a part of the menu since a big part of it is fried food.
