Sadly, the spicy Thai noodles were gone from my flight to Beijing. Replaced with a lemongrass ginger chicken with pot stickers. I ordered it hoping it was a close facsimile thereof. NOPE. My goodness was it horrible. I love flavor and spice, but all you could taste was very overpowering ginger and equally over-fragrant lemongrass. (I like both ginger and lemongrass, but this was unbearable).

I don’t send back food—airplane or restaurant. But asked for some paper napkins and quietly wiped the sauce off of my dumplings and chicken. That being said, once I did, I rather enjoyed the dumplings (they called them pot stickers—being pedantic, they were not pot stickers, they never saw a hot pan and were not crispy or ‘burnt’ at all, they were more just like jiaozi). The chicken was “meh” at best.

I later overheard the F/As talking about the “new fish dish”. I almost ordered it, and after their comments praising it, I wish it would have.

Salad was incredibly small and wilted. Seared tuna appetizer was good, and the sundae and dessert bites were definitely the highlights.
