Had their cheap "Early Bird" specisl, 5pm-7pm. Soup,
salad, two selections from a list of about 15.. $8.50!
The lemon chicken soup was tasty! Salad, OK. The
chicken/curry/coconut milk dish was good, but the
beef/peanut/curry dish was was quite good. Well worth
the price! I may want to try their main menu, though,
to try some of the more exotic dishes.
Heat level = barely noticable.. ask for more spice if
you want it.

The entire "Chefs specials" of about 15 dishes is
printed entirely in red print.. with a note saying
something like "Don't even try to order these without
hot spices."
I liked the potstickers. The hot and sour soup was
OK, but not nearly in the same class of Yuen Yung's
in Menlo Park.
The orange peel beef was VERY tasty but awkward to eat,
the chunks of beef were so large they had to be eaten
in three or four seperate bites. The shredded chicken
in spicy garlic sauce was all right.
Service was reasonable. prices quite reasonable.
There's PLENTY of nearby parking in lots and on the
street, but downtown Palo Alto is so busy that all this
parking is awfully full.. good luck.

Bigger restauarnt than it appears from the street.
Nice public parking lot right next door.
Food was excellent, however three complaints. First,
the spicy food wasn't spicy enough, but that is probably
because they're jsut cautious.. next time I go I'll ask
for more spice.
Second, the food was not hot enough: thermally. Oddly this
was true of the tea, the three main dishes, and the rice.
Strange! The great chicken+curry dish was excellent, but
at the end the curry sauce was so tepid it wasn't really
appitetizing.
Third, for the prices of the dishes, they were very small.
This was most notably true of the curry dish, which was
so small we at first thought that they were splitting it
for individuals.
Even with these complaints, though, it was actually very
tasty. I definately plan to return.

Normally a bakery, on Fridays and Saturdays they
serve food in a very small add-on room. They usally
have a choice of a cheese fondue and one other dish.
Meals come with a salad and a very very nice dessert
(it IS a swiss bakery!). A bit pricey, and the swiss
folk music in tinny speakers is a bit annoying, but
it's fun to go to anyway.
