Lao Jiu Guan

This Brooklyn restaurant has a reputation for surprising customers with prices that don't match the menu. For example, one dish listed at $16 might end up costing $28 on the bill, and an order of fried rice cake can run $18. Reviews note the indoor setting is smoky and discourages eating in, while some have experienced that the price shown on an older menu (e.g., three dishes and soup for 19+ yuan) isn't what you'll actually pay — a later bill came to 31 yuan, which didn't include a taro paste dish. In short, it's a place where diners should be prepared for potential discrepancies between menu display and final charges.
