This review is for 17 Degrees S. The experience we had was not good. We watched other servers visit their tables to inquire about taste, needs, refills etc. and we got visited 2 times after placing our order with our server. After our food was delivered it took the server 15-20 min to see if there was anything else we needed with our meal. We were served what tasted like rancid ranch dressing judging by the dry, bubbled film on top. Luckily the expo brought us condiments before leaving, otherwise we would have been left staring at each other over cold food before our server arrived. The food was great for what we ordered. The $5 Beer & App special was great. The hot dogs were all-beef dogs in buttered-grilled buns with dill relish and fresh onions. The nachos were beautifully dressed with cheese, sour cream, green onions, tomatoes, and black olives, and the tavern fries were seasoned. The draft Coors Light was delicious. There are wonderfully placed flat screens through out the bar and patio that were playing the Thursday Night Football game. The ambience was warm and inviting and would have been a fantastic experience with the exception of our service.

They have cool noodle bowls carved into the chairs! Ok, time to talk about the food. First thing I liked about this place is that they their lunch includes Chinese soup that actually have pretty solid flavor and a good amount of meat and Chinese veggies in it. So it's not just watered down, flavorless soup that you usually get as a starter. The Stir Fried Udon and Seafood with XO Sauce was surprisingly delicious. The noodles were chewy and coated with XO sauce. The seafood included plentiful fish, shrimp, and squid. Plus for 7.95, you get enough food for two meals! My aunt and uncle got rice plates that were tasty and huge in portions as well. We ended not finishing any of our entrees due to the sheer amount of food they give you and had tons of take-out for the next day. Good eats. Great value. Awesome Hong Kong style cafe.

I was very happy with the awesome service I received. It was just myself and my baby going in so I could try the place out. I didn't feel rushed. I was taken care of. Lunch specials were shared with me when I came in. My water was always refilled, and when I was given a box the server that helped me was so nice he even brought me extra lime and bean sprouts to take home. I felt terrible my baby started crying and knocked the paper mat into the floor but they were friendly to me no matter what

This is your typical average chinese restaurant. Low quality ingredients creating ehh food, but it's not the worst chinese food. If you're looking for a quick lunch place downtown, they get five stars. But the Subway next door would be better.
