And the Worst Dim Sum Restaurant Award goes to...

Cho's Restaurant

Today, Rico convinced Andy, Ray and me to have dim sum with him on California Ave in Palo Alto today.

When we got there, I saw this huge sign on the wall that says in chinese - "Dim Sum World." So I thought to myself, Okay, these people at least know chinese, and so the food shouldn't be too bad. Sounds like they should have all kinds of dim sum there.

When I went up to the counter to order some dim sum, the owner told me that all they had were pot stickers, dumplings, egg rolsl, and pork buns....

Each of us paid around $6 for the crappiest dim sum ever, and we proceeded to throw up for the rest of the afternoon.

The person to put together the "Guide to Good Eat - Student Life" at Stanford University should be shot because here's what it says about the restaurant:

Dim-Sum

Cho’s Mandarin
213 California Ave., Palo Alto (650) 326-4632
A little hole in the wall next to Kinko’s. Cheap and good (& sometimes greasy) dimsum. Be ready for a line.

Lesson of the day: Do not trust your mexican friend's recommendation when it comes down to chinese food. (J/K. We still love you though, Rico!)

That's it for now. Gotta go throw up some more.

Bad of mine....never been there before and my friend said it was good.I usually trust her judgement. Never again will I trust her opinion on Dim Sum. Literally it was a hole in the wall. I'll make it up to guys....China Village will be on me.

Next time you listen to a Chinese person's recommendation, preferably one who isn't super ABC ^_^

Alright seeeeee eventhough I aint chinese....I know what's good out there. China Village always hits da spot. Damn Andrew loves those chicken feet.

Andrew said...

... i only ate that chicken feet because you didn't have the balls to take it even in consideration of the f* up you made on Thursday's lunch. It was the least you could have done!

I grew up with values. My mother said it's impolite to eat the last item of a dish. That was the last chicken foot and I couldn't bare to take it away from you. As a kind gesture to make up for my f@#$@#$ up I offered it to you. In my culture it's insulting if you offer the last chicken foot and the offeree doesn't eat it. You should feel special.
