Soup of the Day: vegetable and barley soup served with a slice of organic toast. (J) Nothing like a warm vegetable soup on a cold day.

Bean Burrito Platter: served with with rice and salad. "Flour tortilla filled with refried pinto beans topped with diced avocados & jalapenos, sour cream & salsa." (J) The bean filling was so smooth. Salad was fresh and had a good dressing. The rice was plain and seemed out of place. (S) Yea, they really smoothed out those beans, good stuff!

Warm Banana Crepe: served with whipped cream, frozen yogurt (?) & chocolate sauce. (J) I asked for yogurt, but I'm not sure where the yogurt was. I hope it was frozen yogurt instead of ice cream. Banana and chocolate is a great combination. (S) I wanted it because I wanted something warm and sweet. Yumm.

Wings & Fries: Sweet Asian BBQ wings (top), Basket O' Fries and Suicide wings (bottom). (J) Tried this location for their free six wings promotion. Suicide wings gave a nice tingly feeling only after eating a few. Fries and dill dip were excellent as usual. (S) Sweet Asian BBQ wings were good. The suicide wings were way too spicy for me. We got the fries 1/2 off since the day's special was 1/2 off apps with purchase of large drink.

Veggie Burger Combo: veggie burger on a whole wheat bun with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, guacamole and curry mayo on the side; poutine, root beer. (J) Dry. You could taste that it was a veggie burger, unlike at Casey's. Poutine was good but salty. (S) Mmm...NYF poutine. I didn't mind the veggie burger, it wasn't bad!

Lunch: bamboo shoots, year cake, soup dumplings, soup noodles, sticky rice, green onion pancake, Chinese broccoli, pot stickers, red bean cake. (J) Everything tasted good while I was eating, but afterwards I was burping up grease all day. I learned to nip the tip of the dumpling sac, which allows it to cool without spilling its juices. (S) This meal did not sit well in my stomach. My stomach is not great with super greasy foods, which is what Shanghai-nese food is known for. It all tasted great though.

Bow Bulgogi: served with rice. (J) I chose this because that's what the place was called, it had to be good. Beef was marinated. Lots of cabbage. I didn't know if it was a soup or not. The liquid was sweet. I liked the glass noodles hidden at the bottom.
