The East menu at Bistro really changed for the worse
It used to have a lot of great options like the House Chow Mien and the Buddha's Delight, but those seem to have been removed from the list. A lot of it now is just heavily westernized food like those Cantonese spare ribs and such, and there's no vegetarian-labelled item on there anymore (I'm not vegetarian but still). Fortunately they still have their calamari and the Yuzi tofu.

The Western and Meets menu is OK, though.

What do you think?

I don't really go there often, and when I do, I order something from the Western menu. Have you considering shooting off an e-mail to Micheal, who is an assistant manager there? He was quite helpful when it came to an inquiry of mine. His e-mail is: [email protected] from the following webpage: http://hospitality.mcmaster. ca/loc...ampus/emw.html

Interesting. I wonder what the popularity of those menu items was, it sounds like they are going for the mass appeal 'westernized' items in a hope that they'll sell more. Shame.

I have been to the Bistro only once throughout my 4 years of study...

The menu never looked appealing.

If you want a vegetarian fix of Eastern food you can try Affinity in downtown Hamilton. Just get off at the GO Train station and exit the station on John Street.
