Lucky Rooster in CBD (NOLA downtown).

Ate there last night, was okay. Again I think I ordered the wrong things. The Dim Sum was really good. But the menu is a little confusing, in its quirks. It's set up like "Bao, Chow, Cruch, Munch"

So I had to ask a lot of questions. Got Korean fried chicken, which were wings that must have been battered four or five times. I've never had that much batter on wings. I had no idea they were wings when I got the plate. (Though the towelettes that came with them should have tipped me off) The sauce was good, but it was just too much breading.

Then I get the "Happy Mandarin" It was a pretty good salad, but the cold leftover tasting chicken was the worst part. I wasn't impressed by it.

I see the prices and think they appear cheap, and maybe I just ordered the wrong items, but I didn't love it.

I'm hoping for better from Iris tonight.

The star of our meal was the fortune cookie. It was really good, huge, thin and with a handwritten fortune. Some cream and mandarin orange reduction on the side to dip the pieces in.

I haven't seen much on this place, and it has a great location being one block off Poydras on Barrone, just a couple of blocks from the Rouses.

Just wasn't wowed by it enough to give up on my favorites.
