I had a chance to visit the place before they tore it down, or more accurately before and during. You couldn’t really tell the difference. To be honest it was some of the best Chinese food I’ve had, but I don’t want to think about what I was actually eating. They had great prices on software, too. Every bit of it bootlegged. No charge for the viruses.
