It’s been ages since I’ve had Chinese food, so the steaming veggies and excellent broccoli with garlic at 663 Bistro really hit the spot. A big place with BBQ ducks hanging in the window 663 seems to be quite popular with the hip Chinese kids early in the evening and the not so hip who might be their parents after the kids clear off.
On the table? BBQ pork on rice, tofu stuffed with shrimp and sausage, spicy chicken wings, greens sauteed in soybean sauce, Buddhist delight (mixed veg) and the aforementioned garlic. The plates are big – the Buddhist delight alone is enough to feed two hungry vegetable eaters. The tofu was quite good, the rest of the food was certainly passable.
The service was a little erratic. The chicken wings, which we’d hoped to get as a starter, came last. And explain, please, why the gringos got their tea in plastic glasses while the other patrons recieved rather attractive ceramic tumblers?
The total came to 14 bucks a head for plenty of food but no beer. Given that there are so many other places to eat, there’s no need to rush back there.
663 Bistro is at 663 Weller in the International District.
