More About

All of the above is best with a pot of hot jasmine tea as your beverage, though I do wish Super Dragon offered black tea as well, which I prefer. No complaints with Super Dragon's service, though, which is doting. Or with the fact that it stays open seven nights a week until 10:30 p.m., which in this town positively passes for late-night dining. Too many places start closing up shop after 9 p.m. on the weekdays, and Super Dragon has wisely positioned itself to catch those who want to eat dinner later than that.

Super Dragon's also dead cheap. Why, I've gone in there with a friend for dinner, had three entrees with a couple of apps and pot after pot of tea, and ended up skating for about $50. For that price, in pleasant environs with linen-topped tables and wine-colored booths, this Dragon is more than just super. As Napoleon Dynamite might describe it, it's "sweet!"
