Don't Back Down

In the (relatively) new Lowe's Foods shopping center, in the rapidly developing area near Highway 51 and Lawyers Road where they're building lots of new houses, this restaurant sure is positioned well. Having been open about six months, we decided it was worth a visit. The place is nice, as long as you don't look at the carpet. Seeing as the whole center isn't that old, it's amazing to see carpet that looks about 10 years old. No telling how that happened.

That said, the food is what we were after, not the carpet, and that didn't disappoint. Quickly served tempura appetizer was good, although a bit heavy on the batter, and not as light as most tempura dishes. Instead of having smallish veggies, it was chunky style, which was odd, although not entirely bad.

Lettuce wraps were good, though I'm not sure I really like tofu, and there was plenty of it in the mixed chicken that was served with the dish. We also had some spring rolls, but let's face it - it's tough to mess up spring rolls (or deep fried rolled anything).

We will probably go back another time for a full-fledged meal, but for a sampling of appetizers it wasn't bad at all.
