Greatly missed. But the new Chinese place which took its place is, I think, a couple (maybe three ) notches up from the standard take out fare (unfair?) we are all probably a little too used to in the 'hood. I'm not talking City Lights of China or anything-but you can ( and probably have done) do worse. Dont tell my cardiologist this, but Wings was -as the kids ( or former kids) used to say-

Although I had wanted to stop in, I hadn't gotten around to it yet. It probably would have done better if there was more goin' on on Kennedy. It was a few years before it was needed at that location. Now it's just another chinese place -- that I assume is horrible. I've given up on finding good asian food east of park. Thankfully a short drive to Silver Spring and I have my favorite Spring Garden -- good prices, nice folks and vegetables are fresh, and the food isn't that sticky sweet crap that they serve at those chicken and chinese food places. Bleh. Damn I was sorry to see that place go. Although I had wanted to stop in, I hadn’t gotten around to it yet. It probably would have done better if there was more goin’ on on Kennedy.

I think that somewhere along the line after the place changed hands somebody messed up the motto. Now it just sounds dumb to me...
