This place has got great reviews, so I was curious!
Located in a dead back street, nicely appointed inside - a cozy place with few tables. Selecting the food felt good, waiting felt good too.
Food was decent. Really liked the direction particularly the baked rice was taking. The dishes felt original, meat was tender.
The sauces were a little too intense on the savory side, almost shrill, and not balanced by a similar strength of flavor and aromatics.
The wine ... meh, certainly not matching its imaginative 'oriental' description.
There was a constant feeling to finish quickly as they openly communicated that the next seating was coming in, not only at my table, the neighboring table was informed that they could not order desert because of the next group coming soon. Take-out pickup and food delivery couriers frequenting the place.
not bad despite the drawbacks; prices are still ok, but not sure I'll be back. read more
