Mrs. Whynot reports that they have recently added bubble tea, and predicts it will be popular this summer. ....Mrs Whynot loves bubble tea.

I like how the receipt is printed out in Chinese (and English) I placed an order for pickup and they hung up on me before I could give my name or ask How Long (ha!)--- in any case this usually means that the food will be ready in no more than 20 minutes--- sure enough the food was ready and waiting for me at the register no later than 20 minutes after It was placed. What no fortune cookies? No Crispy Noodles? I agree, the food is "good" --- I believe (don't hold me to it) that Colala is run by some of the same folks from Kam Hong <a href="http://brooklynian.com/forum/prospect-heights/kam-hong" rel="nofollow">http://brooklynian.com/forum/prospect-heights/kam-hong</a> but clearly a different cook as Kam Hong was mediocre at best. Dragon House next to Key Food is abominable and this will likely force Dragon to put a couple of new tables and chairs in their place and perhaps remove the bullet proof glass --- when they find out that no one wants to sit there or shoot them it would probably be too late to realize that the food is the problem. Now we need a bagel store or a half decent pizzeria to move into Dragon House - I give Dragon House 1 year before it folds. Colala is a welcome addition to the neighborhood.

Grand Opening is today: 12/15/2011 Mrs. Whynot and I ate there tonight. 7 Random facts: 1. They have another location, but it is named something else. I know this because they offered me a 2012 Calendar that listed both locations. However, I did not accept said calendar. 2. They passed out menus in the neighborhood today, and -as a result- we were not the only hungry people there to welcome them to the neighborhood. They are already doing deliveries: 718-399-7999, 718-399-7998, 718-399-7797 3. The framed wall hangings I looked at from outside and thought might be dragons, are actually paintings of plants. 4. Food is primarily Chinese. Sushi bar in back. 5. I had the Szechuan Beef combination, and Mrs. Whynot had Mu Shu Vegetable. We felt the food was good. 6. Bill was $21, before tip. 7. Elementary age children of asian decent were doing their homework in the back.
