The best resto in town, will come back again next time. The place was cozy, and there were many tables to sit. The waitress was kind and friendly. I really love the combo meal which consisted of rice & 3 proteins/vegetables. The pork-based protein was so delicous. The price was affordable, I paid

Potluck Cafe certainly holds up to the notion of a hole-in-wall restaurant. The small entrance, nestled in a small alleyway constantly near construction but somehow still neglected, would not stand out without it's light blue outline and lack of other points of interest. The interior looks spartan. Some tables and metal chairs provide seating for fast meals. Up against the entrance you see a large take-out section with heat maps and various dishes. This represents the establishment's main attracted - a 3 entree take out box for $10. They also offer, on a disjoint part of their wall menu, 砂鍋 (sha-guo). Imagine a personal sized hot pot or malatang in an earthenware vessel that maintains heat. You get the flavors more akin to Happy Lamb's hot pot broth with the heat retention of Korean soups and stews. Mine cost $12 since I ordered beef offal / 牛雜. It lived up to being basically a personal sized pot of stuff. In any other restaurant, this would be $16+. I did have some trouble clarifying prices. 砂鍋 and 麻辣燙 (malatang) both use the term hot pot inconsistently. The 砂鍋 menu itself also has 2 versions - a basic one displayed on the TV and a more expansive one with fantuan / and delivery services. The latter has more customization options but also divergent prices. Here, I recommend channeling the Asian auntie and being civil but clear and firm about just what you're ordering and the cost breakdown.

I rarely eat Chinese food because my Husband refuses to, but I was craving it. Purchased almost $30 worth of dinner from Lucky Star last night and found two strands of hair in my Chicken and Broccoli. Tossed it, and will not be patronizing this nasty place anymore.

There food is great but I keep finding sharp pieces of plastic in my food
