Delightful Chinese Kitchen

We drove along University Avenue, which turns into 10th Avenue, and then down to 4th Avenue, looking for a place to have a bite of supper. There were restaurants advertising various kinds of food - Mediterranean, Mexican, Indian. Then on the far side of the street we saw Chinese Kitchen. We decided that yes, we'd go for Chinese.

It was small. Five tables with white tablecloths, at each of the four settings a colourful placemat explaining the Chinese zodiac and the tabletop covered with plate glass. Bead curtains held back in a swag surrounded the entrance to each booth.

The place was empty. We were the only customers. The servers were very friendly, chatting with us about the lack of people in the street because of the hockey tournament. We ordered our food and it came quickly and it was very good.

The servers kept bringing the dishes that made up our "dinner for two." We ate and were filled and were satisfied.

A relaxing, friendly atmosphere--we felt welcomed to the city.
