text: We're all clear that wanting to like something is not the same as liking it, right?  Well, I want to love this place.  It's the closest non-take out Chinese food place to my house so I was completely ready to make this \"My Chinese Restaurant\".  Unfortunately it doesn't quite live up to the hype.  \n\nIt is all good.  It's fine.  Some parts better than others.  Entrees are in the $8 range for chicken/beef dishes, in the $16 range for seafood and they offer a few specialty dishes up to the early $20's.  They have a decent section of vegetarian things as well, but less than you might expect at a Chinese restaurant.  There was more \"sweet\" in the sesame chicken than in the Orange chicken - and they looked far too much like the same thing.  \n\nThe interior is kinda cool with funky lamps, window hangings and lots of bamboo.  For a spot that size the bar, where you can also sit and eat, is a bit too big for me - but just because those 2 big screen tv's are pointing out to the rest of the restaurant so we can't help but be reminded it's there.\n\nThe service?  Not so bueno.  I've been there 3 times and once it was good, but not great.  The other times have been pretty off each time.  \n\nI read a great review about the place by a professional reviewer claiming that it was similar to San Francisco Chinese food fare.  I'm guessing he's wrong, but I wanted to put it out here for other folks to see. http://www.somonews.com/article.cfm?articleID=242  I'd love to hear what you Bay area transplants have to say...
