For me it isn't the price, I would have been fine paying $30 each.. but what you get for the price. Chinese food is just notoriously a $10/person meal. Obviously I wasn't around for a while, (returned to work from maternity leave, dealing with newborn, and 5 weeks of bronchitis) so I didn't help with the hunt for a location.
Either way it sounds like it's a done deal, but as a member I did want to express my feelings on it.
