Stopped for lunch yesterday, walking in, the place feels like it was designed for a BBQ joint, more western rustic vs anything Asian. Atmosphere doesn't change food taste, but it is something we look at in our dining experience.
Service was attentive and friendly, and we were early for lunch so not overly busy at the time. I watched the workers and they appeared pleasant and communicative.
Seating was a bit awkward, the booths felt to far apart with the table floating well in front, making me push the table to my partner, then move the whole bench seat inward. Judging by the other 2 booths, it simply wasn't laid out for the furniture vs average body size. Small thing I know, but moving bench seats in a restaurant never feels like something I should have to do.
So the food, we both ordered off the lunch menu. Believe their hot pepper ratings, I went with a 1, shrimp Szechaun style, and was greeted with a very nice touch of spicy. Some places would have called it a 3 on a 5 scale, so great flavor right off the bat with that. Fiancée ordered cashew chicken, and reported that the flavor was great. Looking at her dish, it was heavy on celery, which yes it is part of that dish, but it was a bit heavy on it.
Food wise the only disappointment was the eggroll, the filling texture was a bit to much paste/pate' creamy for either of us, but that is more common in a lot of places over the past few years. Perhaps others prefer it that way, we simply like a bit more solid chunky feel to the filling.
Over all, we will return if we are in the area. Would I drive an hour just for this place, no, but that there are only a few places I would drive that far for in DFW, with so many really good places available like this all over.
