Vegetarian Paradise II: Also for Carnivores

I took my 16-years old son to Vegetarian Paradise II restaurant on 144 West 4th Street in Manhattan last weekend. He is a voracious carnivore. Based on recommendations that I collected from the web, we ordered the following:
  • a large bowl of Chicken Udon noodle soup which we split among us.
  • Siu Mai appetizer.
  • my son had Kung Pao Chicken with rice.
  • I had coconut chicken.
  • my son had blueberry pie for desert.
  • I had a banana/mango/orange juice for desert.

Comments:
  • The Udon noodle soup was very good. They only serve it in large bowls. It was enough for two hungry men.
  • We had four pieces of the Siu Mai appetizer. It was tasty and soft. Highly recommended.
  • The Kung Pao Chicken tasted and had the consistency of spicy beef. My son likes spicy food, so he enjoyed it much.
  • The coconut chicken tasted like chicken. It just shows how bland regular chicken is.
  • The blueberry pie heated with a microwave oven. Some parts of it were boiling, and others were cold. It was probably not made in the restaurant. We will not order it next time.
  • The juice was very good.
  • The service was prompt.
  • Total price, including a regular coke and a diet coke was $46.44, excluding tip. My son would like to return to this restaurant, which is the highest compliment.
