We arrived for dinner because Brothers was open on Monday evening and the new noodle place we planned on wasn't. I'd call it an Asian diner due to the small two- and four-people tables with plastic-covered checked tablecloths. Orders are taken at the counter and food delivered to the table.
The menu has a wide selection, some expected items and some more unique. For instance, appetizers include the usual suspects as well as spicy barbecue noodles, golden tofu, and sesame balls. In addition to the American-style Asian dishes are the Chef Specials of "Authentic Chinese Style Food" including sauce pork vertebra, house beer duck, spicy chicken feet, and fried pig intestines.
We weren't feeling that adventurous, so I chose the House Special Noodle Soup. A large bowl was filled with noodles, greens, shrimp, beef, and shrimp. The flavor of the broth was nice, but I did add some chili oil that was on the table. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and the sliced beef was very tender; with a few bits of chicken.
My friend ordered the hot and sour soup, which is our initial assessment tool for Chinese restaurants. It was thick and dark and tasty, but we prefer a more sour flavor. She also had the Kung Pao Shrimp: beautifully presented, piled high on an oblong platter with plenty of shrimp and lots of crisp vegetables. She said it was slightly spicy and well seasoned. She asked for iced tea, but they were, oddly, out of it. We both had enough food left for lunch tomorrow.
Our entrees ran about ten dollars each and the hot and sour soup was three dollars, fair prices for a good, but not remarkable, dinner.
