A trip to Delicacy Chinese Bistro on Riverchase Boulevard may help you figure it out. Just consult the Zodiac calendar placemat under your sesame chicken, and don't forget dessert: a crunchy, u-shaped cookie that may predict your future.
The Bistro is open seven days a week with lunch specials that include a choice between three soups, three entrees and either hot or iced tea. Specials usually are in the six dollar range.
"I can eat hamburgers every day at Thomson," said Jake Catlett, sophomore theatre major. "Ethnic food can be just as quick, cheap and easy."
If the daily specials don't appeal to your tastes, a full lunch menu if also available. All lunch meals come complete with the main dish, a side of fried or white rice and your choice between a single crab rangoon or a mini eggroll.
Dinner is also served at the Bistro. You can start out with an appetizer and order a variety of soups or go for something different and order duck wings, a side of crab rangoon or many other choices. Prices at dinner vary but meals start at eight dollars.
Like the Bistro, similar cultural restaurants are tucked away in various parts of Rock Hill and many Winthrop students enjoy visiting these breaks from American-style cuisine.
Catlett said one of his favorite ethnic restaurants is Sake Express, a Japanese steakhouse on Cherry Road.
Just miles from campus, Sake specializes in chicken, steak, shrimp and scallop dishes that are in four-to-seven dollar price range. Combination plates start at $8.99 and vary depending on the selection of meat. Sides of fried rice, sweet carrots and zucchini are also available for $1.50 each.
Japanese cuisine becomes entertainment at Sakura, and it's a double feature. Both a steakhouse and a sushi bar, Sakura on Patriot Parkway offers personal chefs and authentic Hibachi-style grill, naming itself "the best tasting show in town."
"I do go to Sake but I like Sakura better," said Whitney Wrighton, freshman biology major. "I think it's awesome to see the chefs cooks right in front of you."
