Lamb skewers and dim sum?

Sat January 30 at 7:00 PM, Feng Mao Lamb Kebab
3901 W Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles, CA, USA (Map & Directions)
Feng Mao Lamb Kebab looks like the type of place that would really be best experienced in a large group.
Never been there, but best as I can tell it's a place where you order dim sum to be delivered to the table to eat, while you roast lamb (and other) kebabs over little charcoal troughs. Anyone interested or am I going to have to do this alone?

This is also relevant to my interests. Will bring Mr Atrahasis for the Chinese language and lamb skewer eating assist.

Ok. Enough interest in this has popped up that I'm thinking it's time to make a scheduling doodle.
But before I get that far, I'm thinking mid-to-late January. Any huge problems with that which I am overlooking?

I reactivated my account just to RSVP to this and now I may be out of commission towards the end of the month :-( Hopefully whatever date you pick will end up working out. Bummer.

Rome 641-A. Sat 30th, right now, is in the winning position. I'm going to give the poll a few more days for people to vote before changing this to a confirmed time and date. Feel free to add your good dates in, even if it's not looking likely now. I want everyone to have a voice.

Ok, I've set the event for Jan, Sat 30th. I've picked 7:00 PM, but I'm not married to that. The place is open from 11:30 - 11:30, so we can do lunch too if that works better for people. Can't wait!

since leaving the OC bubble is already a trek, I will get up there early to go to LACMA and wander around the tar seeps. so if anyone is feeling artsty that day, let me know.

Just one last reminder for people to switch to "Coming" if you're likely to make it. I'm going to make reservations tomorrow so want the most accurate number possible so I can get enough table space.

I'm in. I don't know how much of this involves sharing dishes, but with all my food crap I might have to fly solo for most of it.

OK. I made the reservation for 10 in case some of the maybes show. I don't think food issues are going to be a problem, Room, it looks like most things are ordered one at a time. I got the impression from the hostess I talked to that even more wouldn't be a problem, so I hope everyone makes it!

I'm sorry guys, I need to cancel. Sorry too for the last minuteness.
I hope to organize a Street Food Cinema meetup in the spring/summer. Have fun tonight.
