After the several positive reviews that I read on this site, I just couldn't wait to try this place out. So off we went on this Friday afternoon. The place was reasonably crowded with a gang of college girls celebrating a birthday and another group of women obviously having a kitty party. We were told that the non-smoking section does not open for lunch.
The chicken lemon grass soup was very, very good but the portion size left me disappointed. I'd read (on this site) about their mammoth portions...well, we ordered two soups for three of us and each of us got only half a small bowl. Maybe they gave us one by three...
We tried the chicken fe wontons (very unusual and tasty), garlic rice (this one reaffirmed what my fellow burrp-ites had said; the portion size was HUGE and we barely finished half) and chicken spicy pot (not bad but nothing to write home about). Unfortunately, the meal left us with no room for desserts. I dunno about the VFM bit - a relatively spartan meal for three cost us Rs. 845. Not bad for Bandra, I know, but not exactly cheap either.
Overall, we had a good meal but either I had set too high expectations from this place or something's come loose. Let me put it this way. If I was in the area and wanted a decent Chinese meal I'd go back, but wouldn't drive all the way from Powai like I did today.
