Restaurant reviews – the opinions expressed are solely my own. Often, though it will appear that they’re based on a single visit, they’re based on more than one. And I’m willing to hear from folks who disagree – I do know that restaurants, including my own, have their off days.
It’s been a couple of months since my last Chop Suey, and it felt like time for another. And, maybe something a little different from the usual dumpling and a kung pao or something similar as a litmus test. Maybe a couple of litmus tests first….
