Very tasty and a great value. They had Fresh Dungeness Crab as a special, but I was looking for cheap eats, so I didn't go for it. Glad I found this place through your recommendation but.... Absolutely agree on location. This place is on the fringe of Irving and you can't see the joint without looking for it, even with the bright "lime" color. As far as "experience", there is a certain joy in finding the "hidden jewel" that no one knows about. Being "in the know" adds to the experience, but unfortunately, it's short lived as we all have seen amazing food joints die because they stay hidden. Bet a lot of these guys are stuck with a lease, and can't or won't move. I hope Ming doesn't get discouraged, but I gotta think he and his crew are better off failing at this spot that can't really grow that much and trying again somewhere else. This place would *rock* as a lunch spot in Silicon Valley and he wouldn't even need to open for dinner - spend time with the kid, etc.... (although I think he would need to churn out the dishes a tad quicker) - There are some locations that can't work even with outstanding word-of-mouth. Finally got around to Limetree the other night.
