I enjoyed a GREAT chinese plate lunch in the bar....beef chow yoke, and pork fried rice, plus an egg roll...and a Mai Tai. the food was wonderful. The drink was decent...not quite "dedicated tiki bar" good, but good nonetheless. It was a tiny bit too sweet, but a very good flavor overall. The establishment itself seemed to have succumbed to the evil KENO, and sports pub atmosphere, but I did notice something unusual. While it was rather bright, and there were no less than 5 TV's visible, a regular, blue collar joe came in, presumably after his shift, and ordered a Mai Tai! Sure, it was no Trader Vic's, or Tiki-Ti, but perhaps in the new millinium, this is how the modern everyman Tiki Bar has to survive. Sure, Bud light banners were everywhere, but this regular guy ordered a MAI TAI!!! It's not exactly a purist's haven, but Kowloon is a pretty great place. Plus, they happily sold me 3 mugs and gave me a handful of cocktail napkins. I took a few cell phone pics I'll try to post soon. Scott
