Daniel san puked HANA-bi at lunch
Mike Wong is here!!!! So we had lunch together off Wall Street. I was already grouchy as hell cuz I was hungry (9 outta 10 points). We stormed into the first "Japanese" restaurant in sight and shit, DID I regret it.
Hana Japanese AND Chinese Restaurant is bad news. Usually when it says Japanese AND Chinese, you should avoid it. There are exceptions like Yuki-Hana in Chicago. But then you have to just order sushi from the menu, their Chinese food will kill you. THis Hana is underground off Nassau St. I knew something was wrong when I saw the dining room. It looked like it was pulled from a rural Ohio strip mall and was dumped right into Manhattan, no wonder it was in the basement. Before you walk into this subteranean restaurant you see 
clean cut well dressed businessmen and ladies with efficiently stylish haircut. After you walk down the stairs, it’s polyester suits and big hair galore. Remember Joan Cusack and Melanie Griffith’s
hair-do before MG got it on with Harrison Ford in "The Working Girl"?
Here’re some pictures to refresh your memory. This restaurant was full of women who looked like them, from 1986. Mike said they’re probably from Jersey. I say they’re from Staten Island.
Food: Please do not go here. But then if you like free-flow deep fried chowmein noodles (the snackie zitty wonton skin looking ones) with sweet and sour sauce to go with it, go ahead. They charged me $9 for an ice-cream scoop size of rice, a few pieces of gooey black bean sauce chicken, and uncooked green bell peppers. Chicken actually tasted like the frozen pressed ground chicken in a chicken breast shaped mold they sell at Costco (Price Club) in the late 80s/early 90s. Mike ordered Una-don. It was supersized (the small size) and it was below substandard. New York-ers with no taste nor taste-buds go here. It was such a mistake. Should’ve gone and tried out Sushi-a-la-Kawa . . . bad choice? We’ll see!
