Post #1 - October 30th, 2009, 2:32 pmSun Wah is back in action. I had lunch there today, their first official day back open again. The space is large and lovely. There are lots of new big tables and a light airy feel to the room.
The New Sun Wah
The area where the BBQ meats are cut up and the to-go counter is now located inside the main room, just inside the door, and is completely enclosed in glass for an open kitchen feeling.
Come Get Your Chinese BBQ
It's time for a Welcome Back Blowout Dinner at Sun Wah
Join me for a feast next Saturday night. I'm sure Peking Duck will be served, but who knows what other delights await us? I can promise you won't go away hungry. Kelly assures me that they will be ready for a big group by next Saturday and says the more the merrier, so sign up here for the first LTH event at the new Sun Wah. Come one, come all.
Date: 11/07/09
Time: 7:00 P.M.
Place:

Great photo of the space. I'll be there with my family this Sunday, but we have nowhere near the ordering power of a group of LTHers. I'm in.

You got it all wrong. Mama happy_stomach doesn't like sweets. It was 17 orders of fried pig intestine after porchetta at Mado.

Wait List

mbh +1
I'm going to cap this at 25 people for now. After the next person signs up, everyone else will go on a waiting list. I want to talk to Kelly in the next couple of days to see how their first weekend went and ask her how many she is comfortable hosting in our group.Last edited by stevez on November 2nd, 2009, 11:13 am, edited 3 times in total.Steve Z.

Post #27 - November 2nd, 2009, 2:50 pmI just talked to Kelly at Sun Wah. They had a grueling weekend and have recommended keeping our dinner to no more than 30 people as they ramp up service. Our menu will feature a nice assortment of their most popular dishes, but they don't want to get too "out there" just yet. It looks like we are having the following "old standbys":
Peking Duck
Mike’s Fried Chicken
Hong Kong Pork
Salt & Pepper Squid
Deep fried garlic ribs
Some type of veggie dish
Here is the updated official list of attendees:
Stevez
Octarine
Fifille
ronnie_suburban +3
happy_stomach
Bruthsmirnoff
tarte tatin
Jazzfood +1

BryanZ
