huge chinese restaurant in the wallingford area in seattle. i've heard that it's popular for dim sum, but we went for dinner last november. (yes, i'm still posting november restaurants, i hope to catch up to the present soon ...) cindy, ryan, the kids, derek, me, derek's parents, all sitting around a big round table with the lazy susan in the middle, piled with food. standard chinese restaurant atmosphere and fare.

except for the honey walnut shrimp, which is fantastic here. in fact, you can even get honey walnut chicken, which i've never seen before. just the right amount of crispiness, a hint of sweetness, crunchy glazed walnuts, not too much mayonnaise, it's done perfectly here. i'm sure the other stuff is good here too, but the honey-walnut anything is my favorite.
