The interior of the Chinese Restaurant
The Chinese restaurant is a popular lunch destination for the ISIS employees. The name of this business is not known, but in "Honeypot", the top line of the menu which is presumably the name of the restaurant, written in Simplified Chinese, roughly translates into "Stir-Fried East Coast White Dog Poop" (干煸东岸白狗便便). They wrap all their guests leftovers in tinfoil and sculpture it into a swan.
Location[]
The location of this restaurant is not quite clear. In "Mole Hunt," it seems to be far enough from ISIS headquarters that Archer needs a cab to get back to the office. However, it is possible that Archer is just ultra-lazy or didn't go back to the office. Also, when Crenshaw is holding Malory hostage outside of the Four-Five-Six Laundry a Chinese restaurant appears across the street from the location. However, this could just be a coincidence.
In "Honeypot" it appears to be within walking distance, because Malory walks to the restaurant from ISIS Headquarters while talking on the phone.
Appearances[]
The restaurant appears in many episodes, sometimes the ISIS employees eat there, sometimes they apparently just use it as a public place to meet or discuss.
