Rundown: I felt like some kind of fish the first time I walked by this place. An employee on the sidewalk with a plate full of samples dangled a lightly charred cube of bourbon chicken in front of my eyeball. I bit it. It was good. I went inside. I bought food. That’s how they get you. $5.95 gets you an entree with rice and two vegetables. In my estimation, it was at least a pound of food. The bourbon chicken was quite flavorful, but a bit gristly. The vegetables were surprisingly not overcooked or mushy (although some people like mushy). Although I was satisfied with my meal, this type of “cajun” food is available at any mall food court.
