Je Bon

There's always good places to eat on St. Marks. This place in particular is not as appealing as some of the restaurants on the strip. Although most customers seek for variety on a menu, too much variety will also scare people away. By offering both Chinese, Japanese, and a little bit of Vietnamese cuisine on their menu, people often freak out and think that the food will be a rip off of various cuisines.

When you first enter the restaurant, it is ambiguous as to where the host is and all the sudden out of nowhere, someone comes out to greet you. Since there is no crowed, you can expected to be seating in a prompt manner. The farther in you walk into the restaurant you get the feeling of being transported from a cheap bar with bad taste in decor to a nice cozy dining area. However, the nice dinning area is ruined by the hideous drink menu on the table made of cheap printing paper and ink that is slightly faded and bad choice of colors.

While sitting there waiting for the food, you double guess your decision to eat at this restaurant thinking that you will probably be served with nasty drinks and food that may drive your taste buds to a place you dread. However, to my surprise, once the food and drinks arrived, the drinks were absolutely delicious and according to my friend who had ordered a pork rib noodle soup, it was out of this world. Although the service was not outstanding considering the fact that the waitresses were busying doing absolutely nothing the food is worth the visit. From what I heard, they are in the process of restructuring so I am looking forward to the possible improvements of this place.
