Christmas BYOB Dinner @ Awesome Chinese 五餅二魚 (Multi Group event)

Awesome 五餅二魚 is a relatively new, highly rated Chinese/Cantonese restaurant in Plano. (4.8- Google and 4.5 on Yelp ratings). The venue is open, well lit, clean and cheerful with excellent service and food.

This is a BYOB event, so feel free to bring your own wine, beer or spirits. I typically bring a bit extra to share.

This event features multiple groups. If it fills, get on the wait list and I will see if we can increase the reservation. (We have 55 spots as of 11/27 and about 47 are filled.) If you are not going, PLEASE update your RSVP, so someone else can fill the empty slot.

For those wondering what the Cantonese style is compared to Szechuan, it is lower sodium and has fewer peppers and chilies. It is also more likely to be steamed or dipped in boiling water as opposed to being fried. While it lets through the fresh flavors of the ingredients, some prefer the salt and chilies and more fried flavors of other styles of cooking.
This will not be family style Each person participating will get a separate check and pay for what they order, However since the portions are quite large (enough for 2 or 3 people) it is OK for two or three people (max) groups to share and split their orders. Those who split into such groups can move chairs to sit together. Sharing is also fine, but the event is intended for those who know what they want and wish to have control over what is on their plates.
Those splitting a noodle dish and bringing their own wine/beer can expect to spend about $8, so this can be a fun and affordable evening.
What to expect: We will have a reservation for 55 (split between 5 groups). Each table holds 10–12 folks, so we will split into 5 tables. Orders will take place per table when that table is full and ready. Do not expect to order quickly because some members may be a bit late. Also, I ask patience for our servers, since we tend to overwhelm them as well as the kitchen with such a large party.

This is BYOB, so please bring something to drink, possibly share.

Several groups will be in attendance, but Outdoor Adventures rules will be expected to be held to. (Polite behavior, respect towards Cultural and Ethnic differences, avoid hot topics (politics, religion, conspiracy theories) and polite behavior towards the servers.) There may be up to 3 other groups in attendance.
Folks with good attendance records will get attendance priority over folks with a no-shows and late cancels. Poor attendance makes having events difficult for the group and for the venue, and is being cracked down on in several groups.
Please respond only if you are going to be here, as long wait lists discourage folks from attending events.
This will be a multi group event, so expect to meet 30–50 participants at the event. For those who wish to add a +1, I require a solemn promise that your RSVP be updated a full week ahead of the event and that I be contacted to add your +1.
