Editorial Review

Upon entering this oddly named restaurant, customers suspect that perhaps something’s been lost in translation. Thankfully, the menu inspires less head scratching, with its traditional selection of Chinese fare: Singapore noodles, black bean beef with rice and sweet-and-sour chicken balls. Mustard-hued walls feature pretty Chinese prints, while at the register, lucky cat figurines raise their paws for good fortune. Unlicensed. Mains $4–$9.50.
