Lots Of Lunch At Lan Pan Asian

20080416lan.JPG
Lan Pan-Asian Cafe: Put this unpretentious little bistro in the category of restaurants that you always see, but never seem to actually visit. Yesterday, we broke the pattern of arriving too late at this Asian fusion eatery located on the first floor of the Dadeland Station. Their lunch specials are worth braving the crowds of Best Buy, Target and Bed Bath and Beyond, even during college move-in season. For $7.95-$10.95, lunch customers enjoy miso soup, mesclun salad with a very nice lemony vinaigrette, wakame sunomo salad, AND a deliciously generous 8 piece California roll. The word "and" in the last sentence is in caps because this is not one of those either/or lunch specials; it is a fill-you-up-before-you-get-your-entree lunch special. After all this food, you couldn't be blamed for expecting an anemic portion of basil-chicken or teriyaki salmon, but you would be wrong. After the soup and salads and California roll were cleared, the waitress brought in a plate heaped with savory basil chicken. This healthy and hearty portion still leaves room for the delicious entree. We also recommend the red curry (chicken or beef).
