A mix of three (That's Shanghai) Updated: 2006-09-14 09:35
Fusion isn't just for gourmet food anymore-Yeeha is a neighborhood dive
that dishes up both 'American Chinese' food, and Texas barbecue. Thank god they
are not on the same plate.
Americans will recognize a number of overseas Chinese favorites, though sadly
served without fortune cookies. That said, for little expenditure, you can order
a generous serving of perennial take-out favorites like beef and broccoli (RMB
26 a la carte, RMB 32 set), and crunchy pan-fried noodles (RMB 25).
If the honky tonk music is making you homesick, you'll find a second menu
filled with typical barbecue platters (RMB 55), each served with a lackluster
potato salad. The decor is similarly pan-national-framed posters of sports
heroes, Texan flags, and assorted kitsch rub elbows in a dark, campy interior
that seems a bit seedy even by daylight.
If the food sounds like too much of a good thing, come late and enjoy the
big-screen televisions and cheap bottled beers (RMB 10-12).
