@lady25: 'any restaurant or shop'? I am a foreigner and it doesn't happen to me. Indicates it perhaps has something to do with you.

@disco: Sounds pretty weird to me - no pilau (pilaf)? no chalau?
I'm not clear as to why the word 'racist' is used here.
Three interesting words: race, democracy, civilization - often used without clearly thinking about what they might or might not mean - seem to mean different things to different people. Worth thinking about. Dictionary definitions are interesting but they don't always work clearly in regard to situational or linguistic context, so that they wind up wiggling like eels.
Bertholt Brecht, on John Dillinger: "What is the (something - problem? crime? importance? significance?) of the robbing of a bank compared to the FOUNDING of a bank?"
@Magnifico: I agree with the sense of your last statement. I'd add, however, that a lot of work done by a lot of us is not significantly important, and some of it is negative.
Work: socially useful labour.

Not quite what you'd call a jumping place, but not bad at all for rather standard US-type meals, not overly expensive, and with a really good salad bar that's cheap, or free with most dinner dishes after 5:30PM. You can get a bottle of beer or even wine if you really want to, but I've never seen anybody do it - maybe that's just to take out. Chinese Christian run, and they hire people with physical disadvantages, who are pleasant and helpful. Frequented by foreign (mostly North American) Christians and Chinese Christians - was started by a Canadian couple associated with Bless China (previously, Project Grace), who are no longer here, but no religious pressure or any of that. Steaks are nothing special, and I avoid the Korean dishes, which I've had a few times but which did not impress me.
As a shop and bakery, it's very good bread at reasonable prices, of various kinds (Y18 for a good multigrain loaf that certainly weighs well over a pound. Other stuff too, like granola and oatmeal that is local, as well as imported things, including American cornflakes and so forth, which some people seem to require.
Large portions, seriously so with the pizza, which is Brooklyn/American style, I guess. Convivial, conversational, good place to drink with good folks on both sides of the bar, especially after about 9PM.
Too bourgeois.
Really good pizza and steaks. The wine machine fuddles me when I'm a bit fuddled, & seems unnecessary. Good folks on both sides of the bar.
