It's... [How do you explain Chinese food to someone who doesn't know what, or where, China is?] Like a buffet. There are a hundred or so different dishes, in small portions, so you can taste all your favourites, and try new things without committing to a full meal. It's good for sharing.
It's not exactly the same stuff as back home, on Earth, but it's pretty close. There's seafood, meat, noodles and rice, desserts, all sorts of stuff. Kinda greasy, and full of MSG, but that's part of the experience.
I always eat too much and wind up in a coma. Not a real coma. A food coma.
[First world problems. People on Earth really don't know how good they have it. John's not entirely proud of the state of his planet. There's more than enough to feed everyone, yet a minority of people get fat living in excess, while the majority starves.
The longer John's away from Earth, the less he misses it.]
This place isn't anywhere fancy, hell, it's kind of a hole in the wall, but the food is legit. Tea's good too.
[It's also the least romantic place John can think of, but if it's what Poe wants to eat, it's where they'll go. As long as he's enjoying himself, John will enjoy himself too. This isn't about him, or what he wants.]
