It has shrunken a bit (for instance, there are no desserts listed) and some prices have been upped. But it's still a hodgepodge of various cuisines, with some Polynesian pretenses without any particular specialization. The room, in the basement of the Midtowner Motor Inn at 100th Avenue and 105th Street, reflects this indecision. Its decor is modern, the waiters are Oriental, and the music currently, has a south-of-the-border flavor." The review goes on to describe the food, including a "Bo-Bo platter" of barbecued ribs, chicken liver balls, egg rolls and fried shrimps ($2.75), Chicken Long Hut ($3.25), Teriyaki beef ($4.50), and Shrimps Pino ($3.50). The reviewer and his guests drank wine and liqueurs; no mention of cocktails. -Sweet Daddy T. Because crap doesn't buy itself. blog [ Edited by: Sweet Daddy Tiki 2009-12-24 11:18 ]
