Never ate there. Probably didn't exist when i was living in NYC in 
parts of 1967, 68 and 69. In 1967 i went to a China-Cubana restaurant 
in the Lower East Side/East Village with a Hungarian (who claimed to 
be running guns behind the Iron Curtain, but while i had just turned 
18 i was a bit skeptical). Not too glamorous. It was just an American 
style lunch counter with that old style Chinese restaurant decor. 
Served beans and rice.
