It's good, although lately I've been driving the extra half mile to get 
to neo china.  They have brown rice.  Yum.  The homestyle tofu/bean curd 
is excellent at both places.

I went to the one on 54 by the Kroger and get a really good noodle dish 
there one time.  I went back alone and got treated like a jack ass for 
some reason and never went back.  Also, whatever I ordered the second 
time wasn't very good.
