Chan's Place
Summary
Would we go there again: No
Decent food, but nothing to write home about. Prices were a little higher than we expected, but not extremely high. The main problem we had was the lingering cigarette smoke smell that permeated even the far corners of the dining room.

Tim's Comments: I had been told a couple of times about this place, and we decided we should finally try it out. I was a little disappointed. It was rather mediocre, and what pushed me over the edge was the smell of cigarettes. Gross.
Jeni's Comments: The cigarette smell was annoying, but what turned me off was how long we had to wait for our food. It didn't look full enough to justify our wait. We saw our waiter only a few times during our visit.
