    for an expat in Argentina, this is a sure fire taste of home when I just need a taste of home.. :)…read more it's always predicable and tasty!!

    This is one that I never thought I'd be writing up. I'd never been to one of this chain's outlets,…read moreand had no particular intention to do so. I happened to be a couple of blocks away, planning on lunching at a different spot, a Chinese restaurant someone had recommended, which turned out to be closed during posted open hours, for whatever reason. And so, I found myself wandering into what I'd imagined to be a bastardization of all things Chinese. As a solo diner, I was directed to the bar, "unless I insisted on a table". Given that there were tables in the bar, it wasn't a big deal, just slightly off-putting. The place is huge, and it was busy. I sat at one of the tables in the bar, the bartender looked at me from behind the bar, and, clearly not happy about having to come out from behind it, since I wasn't sitting at the bar proper (no one else was in the bar area at the time, though it filled up later), came out and brought me the menu. I went simple - shrimp dumplings (220 pesos), and the somewhat famed Chang's spicy chicken (300 pesos), their corporate take on General Tso's chicken. The former, decent dumplings, the latter, a bit too sweet and not particularly spicy, but acceptable. Iced tea, with free refills, that's a plus, and especially as it was unsweetened with the sweetener options served on the side (75 pesos). PFC's doesn't put chopsticks on the table, at least at this branch, and a request for them turned into a roughly five minute hunt for some that required two bartenders leaving their post and scouring the restaurant until they found some. I'd noted that there were these little groupings of sauces on the bar - vinegar, soy, hot sauce, but not on the bar tables, and asked if I could have those. I was informed that those were for the bar itself, not for the tables, but they would see what they could do. Another five minutes waiting ensued, until one of them returned from the kitchen with a small plate carrying the same three, plus three little ramekins, one with Chinese mustard, one with a soy-vinegar sauce, and one with chili paste. As he set them down, he picked up the little spoon and started mixing the three together. I stopped him and asked him what he was doing - he explained that it was best to combine the three, he'd been working there for some time, and that was the way to do it, not have them separate. I told him I was capable of making that decision myself, and he told me that he knew these things better than I, and I should eat my dumplings the way he suggested if I wanted to enjoy them properly, and then turned and walked away. So, okay food. Sucky service. Kind of the reverse of what I expected. Expensive for what you get - the above two dishes and iced tea, with tip, 650 pesos. Not a place I'll be going back to.

It was the only thing I ate for the day, so provenance isn't in doubt as to place, though as to what caused it? Who knows. Most likely either raw veggies or hands that weren't properly washed. At the same time, it's not the sort of place that felt like that would be a regular occurrence, and they were mortified when I contacted them about it, and promised to sort it out. Which made me think I ought to give them a second visit. As did the fact that the place comes recommended by at least a couple of foodie folk I know. On, however, this visit, and looking at just the food, they have a lunch special for 200 pesos ($8.50) that includes a choice of appetizer and a choice of bao. For the former I went with a classic Vietnamese nem, or fried springroll. It was tasty, but a bit oily inside because, as you can see from when I flipped it over, one entire side is open. That's the kind of thing that you'd think someone plating the dish would have noticed and started over again. For my choice of bao, I went slightly unusual with the fried chicken one, because, well, fried chicken. Actually pretty good, and the "broken potatoes" rock. I could just go in and eat a plate of those. A small bottle of ginger ale washed it all down. Negative, I'd have liked to try a second bao, but the only way they offer it is in combo, and the minimum combo was a 170 peso bao with another appetizer, more potatoes, and another beverage, none of which I wanted. They weren't willing to sell just a bao, even though I'd already eaten a full combo. That strikes me a little inhospitable and inflexible. Which made me think I ought not to give them a second visit... but... ...eventually, about three weeks on, giving them another shot won out. On my second visit, they've dropped the lunch combo, and now simply charge more for each individual bao, each of which comes with those great broken potatoes. They've expanded the appetizer offerings, or maybe they're just non-bao offerings, as they're all roughly the same prices., somewhere between 120-150 pesos apiece. They did, however, change that great vinegary dipping sauce for the potatoes too, and now offer up a sort of milky, near flavorless liquid that made no sense to me. Like watered down ranch dressing. Tried two of the bao (they won't serve one without the potatoes, so if you want more than one, it's a lot of potato - I didn't even eat half of them). The clasico is a sweet, hoisin sauce glazed pork belly, the sweetness offset nicely by pickled beets; the bondiola is a slow braised pork shoulder with a sort of cabbage slaw. Both delicious. No ill effects. They do pick out one of the half dozen bao offerings daily at lunch and offer it as the day's special, dropping the price for whichever one it is from 150 down to 90 pesos, which is a bargain! Bring back the spicy dipping sauce for the potatoes, and maybe let folk who want to order a second bao get one without a pile of potatoes, and I'm sold.

    I went in with high expectations, which were not met. The…read morefood is amazing, don't get me wrong. I had the pork belly and egg bowl, very filling, the textures are lovely and it packs a nice spicy punch flavour. My issue here was the service. It took about 10min to get seated, even though there were at least 4 tables open. Then another 20 to get drinks, which the waitress promptly forgot and had to retake the whole order. We ended up flagging down another waiter to finally bring us some water after 40min waiting. We were sitting right in front of the pass, so we saw our food come out. Now, it took the waitress 10min just to see the food there and another 5 to figure out / remember where it was headed. My 7 year old daughter ended up screaming HERE, THAT'S MINE! so we could receive our food. All and all, the food is amazing and will definitely come back.... Once you re-train the waiting staff.

    Mixed feelings about this place, with roughly a dozen visits under my belt. When I first started…read moregoing there about a year ago, I was completely enamored of it. Basically gastropub food with spicy Asian influences, mostly in the form of kimchi and sriracha sauce added to various staples like truly excellent burgers and tacos. Over the last year, they've added in a full on menu of various "bowls" - mostly a handful of toppings strewn about on top of rice, salads, and a slew of coffee drinks. The influences from various Asian cultures continues, with a bit of Korean, a bit of Thai, a bit of this, a bit of that. But, as they've been more widely discovered by the local porteño community instead of just expats, they've also dumbed down the spice level of things - on my most recent visit two dishes were so lacking in spice and so sweet they could have come out of any neighborhood cafe/patisserie on the ladies-who-lunch strips of Recoleta. Plus, prices seem to have crept up by close on 50% over the last year. Service has gone from friendly and welcoming to a strange hipster-ish style that's neither of those. I don't begrudge them success, but its a shame the success has come at such a cost and price.
