I am sorry this is my first review but this is just too gross. My girlfriend and I love dim sum and were pleasantly surprised when we found Neo China. Even though there are alot of people and few wait staff, everyone is friendly and there is good variety with quick service. It was great so we started going there for Sunday brunch every weekend and especially enjoyed the sticky rice. Anyways, we took food home as usual (since our eyes are usually bigger than our stomachs) and the food went straight to the fridge for the next night's meal and we split leftovers. I wolfed down my half (not chewing my food enough as usual) and she picks at her food - and pulled out what looked like a cooked larvae with pincers from the sticky rice. I thought it was just a piece of chicken cut into a little bit - until she told me she saw exoskeleton and pincers which just grossed us both out. Anyways, it was probably a fluke until I realized I saw the exact same thing the week before but just thought it was an oddly cut piece of chicken or meat. All I know is that we both totally grossed out and can't go back now. We are both really sad since we really enjoyed the atmosphere and food - I really hope that it was just isolated incidents. I joked that maybe that's why we liked it and got yelled at :-/ Anyways if you do go, please write me directly to let me know that we were being crazy and if enough people tell me the sticky rice is fine, I'll go back and try again (by myself first)....
Pros: Atmosphere, food variety, dim sum, wait staff
Cons: Found grossness in one food item. Can't go back now.
