Will not return to Liang’s for the sweetness of the food.
This was my small celebratory dinner for winning a lawsuit another restaurant had against me over my initial 3-star review. It was dismissed a few months ago. Yesterday and today, both the Tampa Bay Times and New York Post covered the case; the lively discussions on Facebook and especially on Reddit is decisively in my favor – I’d like to say thank you for your support and fairness.
Liang’s has a clean decor – the orange ceiling installation (dragon dance?) reminds me of the Gates exhibit in Central Park, installed in Feb 2005.
Well trained staff, although sounds scripted but they’re talkative and thorough. Our server complimented on my bracelet and earrings. “My wife really likes it … where did you buy them?”
They bring the wine bottle to the table and do the tasting pour into a small decanter before pouring again into my glass.
The wine glass itself could have been nicer. And the fake flowers …
No plate – the server is kind, brought an extra plate.
Noise level is high with only four other occupied tables. The open kitchen and the staff add to the noise.
We’ve medium spicy Sichuan beef and Chongqing fish: ingredients are fresh, large portions, but overall too sweet. The spiciness is very low.
Before the bill, the server asked if we’d like some dessert, but my stomach turned: I just ate so much sweets!!!
