Maria was absolutely lovely. She greeted us after 8 min. She gave amazing recommendations.
The coolest thing about this particular magical dining experience was it being a 4- course meal.
For Appetizers, I ordered the Carrot and Ginger Soup. The nostalgia that I embodied, made...me want to order another to go. My grandma used to make this when I was little and I have never felt more at home. The Steamed Gyoza needed to be cooked a little longer. It was very rubbery, but I’m not sure if that was a required texture.
The second course was the Bao buns and they were exceptional. I got a Pork Belly with tofu substitute. The tangy and sweet flavors flattered each other. My roommate stated that the Korean BBQ Short Ribs Bao was the most delicious thing on that menu.
For the main course, I ordered the Short Rib Bibimbap, also with a tofu substitute. The flavors were rich but they did not compliment each other. Some of it was spicy, some tangy. The rice was supposed to relieve the spice but it appeared to me more of a simple side.
As for desert, I opted for the Pineapple Spring Rolls. The texture was satisfyingly different. An unusual combination of rice pudding and pineapple chutney cooperated admirably. The warmth of the spring roll paired with a vanilla ice cream created a perfect yin and yang. I would highly recommend. My roommate enjoyed the Key Lime Creme Brûlée. It must of been very delicious because he licked the bowl clean.More
