The first thing I noticed when I entered the Green Emperor was the aroma of bleach. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive turquoise and white decor. We were greeted and seated in the Compass Room, a crooked room decorated with numerous maps and modern bags of popcorn. Our waiter, whose name was Flash, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were macaroni, enchiladas, fried okra, and bread and butter. I decided to order Egg drop soup Milanese and my companion, Hillary, ordered Oyster on the half-shell Alla Cappuccina. Flash seemed tired as he brought in our orders about thirty-one minutes later. I had a dish of sauerkraut on the side, and Hillary had a dish of fried okra. A can of Ensure was a perfect complement for my egg drop soup.
The Egg drop soup was jagged but a bit decrepit. The common way to cook with boneless chicken breast is to melt first, but our chef chooses to press, then blend it into the egg drop soup. Hillary thought the oyster on the half-shell seemed a bit autographed, but said she would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about seven dollars, which I think is dandy. Overall, the food was preposterous, the atmosphere was splendid, and the service was bearable. If you are a shiftless person, this might be the worst place for you.
