"Now, here’s a little story: I found myself unable to gather food during the recent blizzard. Early in the morning, I ventured out to the local general store, which was surprisingly still open despite the thick snow. As dinnertime approached, I started to wonder if I could find something to eat. I trudged through the dazzling snow with no one else on the street except for a few snowplows. After a struggle to get out of my neighborhood and onto the main road, I felt a glimmer of hope and continued on. However, everything was dark. There were no lights, no open signs—nothing. Driving through downtown Kennebunk, I noticed people inside The Blue Coffee Shop, so I parked my car in the snow and bravely went inside to check it out. To my dismay, it turned out to be a private event, and their "closed" sign was posted on the door. What a disappointment! I felt like I had struck out, but I didn't give up; I kept going and got my car out of the snow to head to Wells. Unfortunately, everything else was closed. After much searching, I was ready to give up when I spotted Maple Leaves Garden. The open sign was brightly lit, and I could see the cook inside! I took a deep breath, navigated through the snow, and walked in. The owner was pleasantly surprised to see a customer and I promptly ordered Chicken Mai Fun. I waited about five minutes in the lobby, and when my order was ready, I was warmly wished a safe journey home as I left. I thanked them for being open during such a challenging time. I made it back home safely, despite the slick roads and icy conditions. In summary, the folks at Maple Leaves Garden really come through for you when you need it most. The Chicken Mai Fun was a large portion and incredibly delicious! Well done!"

"according to their online menu, luau hale, comes over to make almost any polynesian dish vegan / vegetarian. not like that! the roasted tofu is not vegan or vegetarian as there is only one frit; therefore the tofu is fried with all meat types. on the menu there are only seven vegetarian Chinese dishes. very few polynesian dishes can be made vegan/vegetarian. I ordered the kung poo gai ding. it had no taste. that no taste brown sauce tasted as if it had been made only from soy sauce, water and maize starch. the vegetables were mostly celery and green pfeffer, not too tasty with the mushy so called steamed tofu. my man ordered general tsos tofu, because the waiter came back and told him that they did not change cashews for his favorite dish, tofu cashews, a court to be made to change from the cashew chicken dish on the menu. he said the general tso tofu didn't taste like any other dish he had enjoyed in other oriental restaurants; he said that the dish was tasteless in a ground, except for the essence of meat flavored oil, which completely soaks the badly fried tofu. he told me the normally sweet taste was actually unpleasant weeping. the visit to Luau hale was very disappointing. eating was badly prepared and had little to no taste. the normal Chinese trade fair we find in restaurants at home was so much better than those dishes. please don't waste their time trying to find qualitatiw high quality vegan / vegetarian food here!"
