My girlfriend and I are adventurous eaters and decided to give this place a try judging from how busy it was. We ordered the pork shoulder in brown sauce, crispy duck, and rice cakes with pork. The food came out in about 5 minutes. First the pork shoulder, it was a luke warm very fatty gelotinous lump of meat bathed in a brown gravy-like sauce. Second the crispy duck, this was supposed to be half of a duck but somehow had two legs. It was cold, old and tasted like it had been cured in salt for a year. Last but far from least was the rice cakes with pork. I will eat anything but was not willing to give this one a go. But my poor girlfriend went for it and was immediatly repulsed, she had to spit it out. One, two, three strikes can we please have the check? We left the ammount specified on the bill with no tip. It was the second or third time in my life I had to do so. The waitress grabbed and counted the money before we were able to stand and informed us of the fact that "the tip was not included" and we told her we understood. She became angry, stormed up to a male worker at the front where I was forced to confront both of them with the fact that their food was inedible. All in all, not a bad night in Chinatown but the worst dining experience of my life!Shanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043750810423763300.post-42461790904462981322008-12-04T17:19:00.000-05:002008-12-04T17:19:00.000-05:00You must be eating at a different restaurant, because it's been great every time I've been there. Try the soup dumplings or the pork shoulder in brown sauce, for example.atomlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18016187858574546861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043750810423763300.post-67978743634950354792008-11-18T17:59:00.000-05:002008-11-18T17:59:00.000-05:00Anonymous, I apologize for the spelling error. Not typical of my work. Anyway, Green Bo may be cheap, and thus a value in those terms, but overall, it isn't anything out of this world. Furthermore, it would be silly of me to compare Green Bo to Peking Duck house obviously, but it does behoove me to point out that you're much better off spending your money (albeit more of it) at PDH. Green Bo's quality relative to what it costs isn't enough to justify passing up on "splurging" (as you seem to imply) at PDH. <BR/><BR/>I appreciate the comment and thanks for the heads up on the spelling. I will be back for a second go though. -The UbereaterThe Übereaterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12674707637301577325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043750810423763300.post-69289858711430234732008-11-18T16:52:00.000-05:002008-11-18T16:52:00.000-05:00Good grief, what a poorly done review.<BR/>Green Bo is a great place for cheap, decent Chinese food in the heart of Chinatown.<BR/>The dim sum are great, and the Pork and LEEK ones, as you mis-spelled them, are really good.<BR/>Trying to compare this to Peking Duck House, which is among the most expensive restaurants in that area, is rather missing the point do you not think ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043750810423763300.post-32475683851291731672008-10-14T18:08:00.000-04:002008-10-14T18:08:00.000-04:00I've always wanted to try Peking Duck House (around that corner.)<BR/><BR/>Have you been?
