interesting menu ... i'd say CYA with equal measure of "glad to be in america sincerity" ... immigrants sometimes display a higher level of patriotism than many native-born Americans.

Now there is one thing that maybe billy or one of our other new chinese friends can help with ... the square with the line through it symbol, if I remember what my friend's wife told me, means something about food or eating ... but what does the other one mean? Carp are an especially lucky symbol, IIRC, which is why you often see them associated with businesses.

(The only other chinese character that I recognize is the one that means happy ... and also double happy which means marriage or wedding ... )
