The search for Chinese food

Ever since I've moved to Columbus, I've been on the hunt for authentic Cantonese food.  Something to remind me of home when I start craving Chinese food.  I've tried three different places and I tried the third tonight.  The first was Yuen Lee with the hubster.  It was ok.  It was a mix of Chinese and Vietnamese food.  The gai lan was old, but it was only ok.  The second was Sunflower something or other with my mom.  Eh, it was also ok, but it was also 30 minutes from home.  Not going to drive that far for ok food.

I saw this third place called Asian Taste in New Albany.  I looked it up on Yelp and it had some ok reviews, but they mentioned they had an authentic "Chinese" menu.  We went tonight with the hubster and the step son.  It looked very promising when the menu came out, but that's kinda where it all ended.  I ordered the hot and spicy squid and the seafood pan fried noodles from the chinese menu.  The squid was different than what I am used to, but it was ok.  The seafood pan fried noodles were also ok. (lol sensing a trend yet).  It had mussels in it (that was a first).  I think Joy Food One down the street is better and closer.

Anyway, the food was ok, could have dealt with it and would have been willing to come back to try other items on the menu, but the service was atrocious.  I mean there were two women servicing this tiny restaurant.  So the final verdict: not going back.
