Those poor Chinese restaurants! These days they're looking pretty passé. Everybody would rather have Korean, or Thai, or Vietnamese. My wife and kids no longer want Chinese food. I like it because it cheap. Hee hee.
A new food court opened up recently. It serves mostly Japanese and local food items. It's a damn beautiful food court!
