The menu offers 42 selections plus 5 different appetizers. We had a few questions about the food, but server was unfamiliar with the foods on the menu. We were pleasantly surprised with our choices despite not knowing exactly what we were ordering. The flavor and quantity of each serving was excellent. Each table is set with an array of Asian style condiments, hot sauce, chopsticks, and soup spoons. For those not adept at using chopsticks; forks and spoons are set out for each customer. All dishes are made with MSG, but I was assured that it can be deleted if the customer lets the server know at the time of placing an order. There is take-out service available from the menu. While we were there it appeared the take-out area was just as busy as the restaurant. The average cost of each choice on the menu is $5. The most expensive item on the menu is $8. Sweets are not on the menu, but soft ice cream is available upon request.
