Ji Bei Chuan - Online it looks like a chain. I can't get an accurate translation. What did I say Chuan means in that post this Winter? I think it was Szechuan? Or was it home? They (2) didn't speak much English. I grabbed the cheapest main to go. Dry Tossed Noodles Minced Pork Sauce for $11. It was very good. Nice flavors. Good texture and cook time on the noodles. Alot of juicy pork. And I ate it hours later after nuking it. Came with some sliced cuke and a soy dyed hard boiled egg. Huge menu. Pan Asian. 5 more dry noodles. 2 Fish Maw Soups. 4 Original Chicken Stock Soups. 4 Tomato Soups. 5 Mala Spicy Soups. 5 Sauerkraut Soups. 5 Ramens. 4 Thai Style Spicy Soups. 3 Tom Yum Kung. 4 Udon Stir Fry. 4 Fried Rice. Mains were $11 to $16. 17 Apps. $5 to $10. Some funky things like intestine, tripe and black fungus. The place looks sparkling. White faux marble floor tiles and tables. Mural of rice from inception to food. Box lamp shades. Some wood and black accents. About nine tables. Empty. Open for a month. It's worth a look.
Shah's Halal Food - I had a mixed chicken and lamb gyro for $10. It was excellent. They hide the rotisserie if they have one. The spicy chicken was in pieces and the lamb was in cubes. I've never been served processed lamb that way. I liked it. The portion of each was a full meal unto itself. When they added the very fresh tomato, cucumber and onions, it wouldn't fold. I added some white sauce. You chose the toppings. Pita was good. Also, fish, falafel and kofta. Platters (rice) are $12 Also, cb, cheese steak, chicken sandwich, ff, wings, etc. I ate in. Wrap around counter with a few seats. Most who came in (busy) did take away. Open for a week or two. Will be a Favorite. It looks like it is a chain online. The girl who served me no speeka da Inglesh good.
City Barbecue - A chain from Columbus Ohio. Open for a week. I grabbed a half pound of brisket to go for $13 because I had enough food already and it seemed like the same old. They said they mix the flat and point pieces automatically. I received five or six different textures and doneness. Some were ok. Some were shoe leather. Average to no flavor, smoke and bark. Their bbq sauce in a pre-packaged cup was worse. Hard to review. The place was packed though. Look like most bbq knockoffs. Wood. Seats about 60. Open kitchen. Same old meats and sides and prices. Pulled pork, turkey, sausage, St Louis ribs, 4x chicken, pulled chicken, mac, slaw, ps, cb, ff, corn pudding and beans. 4 special sandwiches. 5 classics. $8+. Two meats (many with upcharge) with two sides was $14. Not in league with our two new bbq places.
