Saturday night.\nDate night.\n\n\"Let's try somewhere new,\" I suggest to my man... and alas, he agrees!\n\nTen minutes later, we find ourselves sitting in Little Rangoon. We're the only ones in the place aside from the staff. We probably would've left had it not been for the \"People Love Us On Yelp\" sticker on the door and Alfred, the friendly owner who was also our waiter...\n\nJared not only agreed to go somewhere new but he allowed me to do the ordering. The first dish that caught my eye was some sort of vegetarian dish that Alfred said people either love it or hate it. He wasn't trying too hard to sell it, so we went with some more common (at least to us) choices from the menu: spring rolls (the kind that are not fried) with chicken, a noodle dish similar to a pad seu eu, and a vegetable dish with tofu that we added okra to. (I love okra!)\n\nUnfortunately, the chicken in the spring rolls was rubbery and kind of gross... and the vegetable dish was covered in a really oily sauce that lacked flavor. I'd probably give this place two stars, but Alfred was nice enough and they serve okra - huge props for that. Even so, the meal was pricey for what we had... and I don't think I'll be returning anytime soon. I hope it was an off night for their sake. \n\nAnd now, because of our so-so / not fantastic experience, I am pretty sure I will not be allowed to choose the date night restaurant for a while... :(
