How many bloggers can fit in one Starry Kitchen?

At least six bloggers celebrating the Starry Kitchen grand opening...

The famous crispy tofu balls
The Starry Kitchen has been open for three months now, but things were so crazy that owners Nguyen and Thi Tran waited until this week to throw a grand opening party. It was grand indeed, although I starting knocking over bottles as soon as I walked in, in some strange flashback of the previous week's wine-soaked 9 hour lunch. Nguyen was as hyper as ever, hugging bloggers and faithful customers who were lapping up Korean noodles, chicken wings and the restaurant's signature crispy tofu balls. The balls are an ideal tofu delivery device, larded with corn kernels (can you use the word larded with tofu), coated with some rice krispy type flakes and something extremely green, then deep fried and drizzled with spicy mayo. They also go pretty well with beer. Unfortunately the Starry Kitchen has no liquor license as yet (it was a private party), but they will be opening for dinner starting next Thursday until 9 pm.

Have tix to South Pacific and wondered if Starry Kitchen good for dinner beforehand. was also considering Lazy Ox but then there's the whole parking issue as it's not close to music center. Any opinions on food at either place?
