Imminently forgettable. Bland, boring, and tasteless. I tried the fried alligator appetizer and the jambalaya for the main course. The best part of the jambalaya is the andouille sausage, and that's not saying much. The shrimp were as tasteless as the chicken and the rice was worse than tasteless. And it's not spicy. A jambalaya that isn't spicy? That makes as much sense as calling white chocolate chocolate.

They get an extra star for putting in the effort to have frogs legs and alligator on the menu, though the alligator was so drowned in aioli that all you can tell is you're eating fried...something...in aioli. I got the distinct impression they only have these things on the menu to seem edgy, which is a huge disappointment.

All this with New York prices make for a fairly lame experience. Granted, this is right in tourist central, but for some reason I was hoping to get more than the usual tourist razzle dazzle and sky-high prices. I was very wrong.

Some of the best broth I've ever tasted. Slightly salty but worth it with The draft Beer and the mustard green fried rice is out o this world. Deep flavor and addicting to say the least. And in the Summer months the cold noodles with ponzu sauce is worth the trip alone!
5 stars

I've now been to this place 7 times. The food gets 5 stars! The decor gets 5 stars. My problem? You have music playing and the TV playing at the same time...It's a racket! Pick one or the other. My other problem with the TV, it's always on Fox News....REALLY? In an Asian restaurant? Isn't like like Chickens following Colonel Sanders? Turn that divisive crap off and put something pleasant on for a dining experience.
