I am also a big fan of egg foo yong, and had the shrimp version last week. Unlike my beloved Bamboo Garden's version, SR deep fries theirs making it very crisp. Loved that, and the fact that the brown sauce was on the side, rather than floating the raft of eggs.<br />The seafood soup is very light, and while I don't like the fake crab they use, I liked the soup. There is a lot of good shellfish and a clean clear broth. The sizzling shrimp was tasty, but the sticky sauce and unpeeled shrimp will keep me from ordering again. I found remnants of the sauce for hours afterwards. <br />Perhaps my favorite dish there (and I have had the eggplant, good but a tad sweet for my taste) is the baby bok choy with black and white mushrooms. The bok choy is small enough to be tender and easily consumed with chop sticks and the mushrooms are delicious. The plating was lovely too, very geometric and different both times I ordered it. Suzanna, I think we had the same waitress, and a good description. Did our butcher friend say her name was Ann? I also had a lovely waiter's attention the first time we were in, named Michael. I agree, a terrific addition to out South Austin repertoire! Elaine DiRicohttp://www.austin-nutritional-therapy.comnoreply@blogger.com
