Sonya, who always looks so fashionable, showed us to a great corner table. Antonio took our order and Angel brought us our drinks. Christian stopped by to say hello. The dinner was delicious and Mr. Chow is friendly to vegetarians, which I am. The Mopo Tofu was great along with the vegetable rice dish. Randy loved the scallops. The atmosphere is always wonderful. Thank you everyone. We will be back again soon. Happy New Year. Joan and Randy

I love this restaurant, the homemade sodas are delicious without being too sweet and the French Dip Banh Mi may be the best in the city. Get the oysters if it's your first time.
