I dropped by here on my way back to work. Ordered a chicken melt w/ an onion bagel. OMG, the sandwich was just so yummy! Way better than the greasy sandwiches at Noah's. Bagel wasn't that bad either (it's not chewy hard).

I totally have to downgrade them after the crappy service they gave us. I really do think they are more attentive when you order one of their expensive set dinners (wo choy). Last time we went, we ordered ala cart and they virtually ignored us!…More »

I've been going to BT for years. Food is good. I've always ordered either the chicken teri or the tonkatsu. They make the best tonkatsu.
For take out, you get the soup salad and entree. Portions are good and prices are about right.
This restaurant is several doors down from Buon Gusto. While small, the food is excellent. Love their pasta dishes. Service is fast and brisk. That says a lot since there's only one server!
Also tried their chicken pizza. It's very yummy!
Another Entertainment Book find! I usually went here for dinner. Can get crowded with a lot of old timers. Place has an old Italian feel. Sometimes they remember to serve you the free marsala, and sometimes they don't.
Pasta is excellent here.…More »
