I've driven by this super tiny place numerous times on the way to WF, but it wasn't until a few months ago that we finally had the opportunity to dine here on a much needed post-baby night out. The menu is thoughtful and uses local ingredients and the atmosphere is cozy. Do make reservations as there are all but a dozen or so tables. Although the lighting is nice, you are not paying for ambiance. You are paying for the food which is artful, inspired and perfectly prepared. One final note, I came here thinking it wasn't the kind of place to bring our young son, but there were many tables with children. I'm looking forward to coming back soon -- both for dinner and for brunch. read more

The food was delicious! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We order the 6-course brunch - the variety of food was spot-on and the portions were perfect. One caution: we made reservations 4 weeks in advance - there are 24 seats in the "dining room" The photos are not very good . . . they give you the impression that its a French fry place, and its any but that!!! read more

Been wanting to try this place for quite some time, and was able to get a reservation on this Memorial Day evening. All my husband & I could say was "WOW!" What an amazing experience. Service was wonderful. Highly highly recommend the scallops & beef cheek dishes! One of our NEW FAV restaurants! Everyone needs to come here to have a wonderful meal! Can't wait to try their brunch! Delicious! read more

Brunch is great. People from Korea or Hawaii should be happy to find Spam, eggs, and kimchi are the star dish on the menu. The scrambled eggs were perfectly moist, fluffy, and flavored with bits of Chinese sausage. The cabbage kimchi was seasoned well and lacked that out-of-the jar flavor you get at most NOVA restaurants. There was also a nice scoop of rice to complete the meal. My only negative comment would be that you only get one small slice of grilled Spam. The crème-fraiche chili wings make for a perfect appetizer. The chilis do not overpower the flavor of the chicken and the cream crème-fraiche gives them a nice texture. The chocolate dumplings are a great desert and reminded me of mini chocolate lava cakes. I will definitely come back to try the dinner menu. read more

Met a friend from DC (I stay in Centreville) halfway near the VIenna Metro. SOmeone told us that anything on Maple Avenue is worth the trip. Well, thank you Yelp. This joint has zero street presence but was an amazing experience. We sat at one of the few tables (of the 8 or so they have) that wasnt marked RESERVED.. Always a good sign for a Monday night :) I had two small plates: the charcuterie platter and fried green tomatoes. Everything fresh and delicious. My friend had the Arctic char in a roasted tomato sauce with spaetzle. Service was excellent and nice selection of microbrews and wine by the glass. Enjoy~ read more

Yum, yum, yum. Maple Ave has some great food with nice service. Get the mussels and chicken wings! The mussels included Chinese sausage cut into bits and the wings' sauce tasted a bit peanut buttery. I tried bone marrow for the first time and loved it. WOW! They serve it with crostini so you aren't overwhelmed with the heaviness of the marrow. I think it was the chef's wife who came over to talk to us and see how we were doing. I told her I'd never had bone marrow served like that before and we got into a long(ish) conversation about their decision to put it on the menu. Fantastic/funny lady. Unique dishes and would love to go back. Don't forget to make a reservation! read more

This food rocks. The Thai okra, the curry spiced chicken with that delicious slaw accompaniment and the Asian-take on whole bronzini over amazing fried rice that had a healthy amount of heat without overpowering anything. I picked apart that fish because it took me back to a place - crispy skin and balanced, bold flavors. Served head and tail intact. Just wonderful. The wine we had was an Albarino and definitely one of the better ones. Service was warm and attentive, though it can be spotty at times due to the small space and if there are needy tables. But it was incredibly inviting and courteous from the moment Ricardo opened the door for us. The wine list, like the menu, is small, but carefully curated. Just really smart overall. This is where it's at. But forget the cocktails -- somewhat pedestrian given how cocktails are really trendy now. The big con is the small space. No getting around that. Small dining space, small parking lot and awkward waiting area/bar. We were fine with it and sort of liked its clumsy charm, but it can make for cramped dining. read more

Had a great meal last minute here with friends! Would highly recommend! Our appetizer was unique and we were excited to try the new items like con fit and their own pickled veggies. Our entrees were amazing and we were so pleased with the service and the wine selection was also a big bonus! read more

This restaurant is very small, perhaps the building was once a carry-out, and your best bet for dinner there is to make reservations (though I still had to wait for a table once I arrived at my reserved time, which is awkward because the place is so small). The restaurant seems to get heavy patronage and it can fill up quickly for dinner, though I have never seen a full house at lunch. Unfortunately the tiny size of the space leaves diners feeling cramped, not cozy, with no table being "the good table". I hope that this business can move to a larger location eventually because I have not returned because I don't like hearing the toilet flush during my meal nor do I enjoy getting beat down by ice cold wind whenever someone opens the door. The food was pretty good, though the appetizer portions are shockingly spare, so you might want to skip those and just go for a large entree if you want to get your money's worth. I ordered the special of the night which was a grilled pork chop with sweet potato gnocchi and was generally pleased. The pork chop was huge and cooked well, though the gnocchi were very small and fried, which made them all texture and no taste. Considering that the dish was $20+, I don't think I really got my money's worth. My partner had the ribs, which tasted amazing and were a great value, which I'd recommend. I remember his side veggies being way, way overcooked, which was only redeemed by the yumminess of the ribs. They are called "Dr. Pepper" ribs (or something to that affect), though we only tasted yumminess. Overall, it was a nice restaurant to visit for the first time on a special occasion, but I wouldn't go back. The food is overpriced and the restaurant is cramped, it just doesn't seem to be worth it. read more

Great lunch special! Small, cozy place so make sure you have a reservation. Their steamed PEI mussels are amazing with yummy saffron coconut broth. The thai okra is also very delicious. The panko chicken sandwich is pretty good and a nice sized portion. But of course, I had to try the seared scallops. It came with a coconut scallion risotto and basil ice cream. That's right, basil ice cream. I was really intrigued by this so I had to order. The scallops were delicious and the risotto was very tasty. The basil ice cream melted nicely into risotto. Very interesting and I would have it again, although it is a bit rich. read more

Having lived in the 'burbs my entire life, I'm used to trekking out into the city for the more fancier meals I've had the pleasure to indulge in. Thankfully for my husband and I, Maple Avenue Restaurant is not only, practically in our backyard, but the quality of food and service is right up there with most of the fancier establishments in DC. As others have said, the restaurant is quaint, but very charming. If you happen to drive there, you'll want to bring the smallest car you own, because parking is as tight as can be! We arrived for dinner with a party of 3 on a Saturday night, and thankfully had made reservations in advance, as we witnessed a few other would-be patrons getting turned away for not having reservations. To start with, the cocktails are fantastic! I had the Audrey Hepburn and it might have been one of the best cocktails I've ever had...so delicious and lived up to the name!! The appetizers were also incredible. You have to order: Fried Green Tomatoes (best you'll ever have in this area), Crostini (trust me on this one), and all of the salads (all seasonal and very fresh). My husband and his brother are both carnivores so they orderd a few of the meat dishes as their entrees, and raved about them. Sadly for me, Maple Ave only has 1 vegetarian entree, which tends to be the same year-round: the risotto. Now, you should know, I'm not a huge risotto fan to begin with, so I would have be more than overwhelmed to love this dish. While it was a solid dish, it wasn't one that was very memorable or well flavored, but I did love the crostini that was served with it. I had to deduct a star for the simple fact that as talented as the chef at Maple Ave is, his inability to change the vegetarian dish on the menu to something other than risotto year-round, makes this place a step below the best, but still one that you should definitely try! read more

Absolutely inventive and delectable entrees! This place has the poshness of being in DC but with the coziness of an old town Alexandria hole in the wall. A very romantic spot for any date that is sure to dazzle the eye! Be sure to get the scallops with basil ice cream :) read more

Maple Ave Restaurant - Bread Pudding! - New American Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

As if this place needs another stellar review..... Try the fried green tomatoes!!! They were SO flavorful, perfectly cooked. The duck leg confit with Brussel sprout salad was phenomenal. The brussel sprouts were shredded and mixed with an aoli then drizzled in honey- all the flavors perfectly complemented each other. I wish I could eat this every day! The duck leg was tender and flavorful and I don't normally like duck. It was easily the best meal I've had since leaving San Francisco 4 years ago. The ambiance leaves much to be desired. It's very plain, very loud and very small but honestly I couldn't care less. The dessert was nothing special. I'd skip it next time (had the bread pudding and lime pie). They close early (9pm). MAKE A RESERVATION- even on a week night. And it's not good for large parties, though I wouldn't be surprised if they try to accommodate you (it's just physically impossibly given how small it is in there). They were very friendly. read more

The Maple Avenue Restaurant is a cozy place that produces dishes with big flavor. I thoroughly enjoyed everything I ordered and sampled from my friends plates. The selection of small plates were all tempting. My table selected the mac and cheese and the shrimp and grits to share. The mac and cheese was creamy and smoky. The shrimp and grits was both buttery and fresh. The duck leg confit with fried brussels sprouts was delicious. The sprouts were crispy and nutty; they were probably my favorite thing I ate. The beer braised beef cheek was well prepared and served in a silky sauce that equally compliments the sweet potatoes and the caramelized onions. Julienned scallions brightened up the dish. The service was great and the prices were reasonable for the quality of the food. Maple Avenue Restaurant is an intimate space best shared with a close friend or two. read more

Stopped in for a weekday lunch...thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Arriving was a little dicey. Even though the restaurant had only 2 tables filled, parking was tough. The restaurant is sandwiched between an auto repair shop and a car wash. While there is a spacious parking lot adjacent to the restaurant, it's for the repair shop. The restaurant has a very small parking lot that slinks around the side and back of the building, yielding barely more than a half dozen tightly packed spots shared between customers, staff, and the dumpster. Once inside, we found the dining area to also be small...less than a dozen tables, and mostly deuces. Fortunately, we arrived late in the lunch window, so we had no trouble getting seated. The service throughout our visit was friendly and efficient. There seemed to be a very small staff (seemed like 2 people...a waiter and a cook/chef), but we never felt neglected, and didn't wait long for anything. We started our meal with empanadas and a peach salad. The empanadas were outstanding and the salad was tasty. Our only negative was that the salad would have been better with more peach slices...we counted only 6 thin slices our with our serving. For our meals we order the lamb ragu and the gnocchi. The lamb was a bit gamey, but outstanding. For those who don't mind a 'lamby' flavor, this was an excellent pasta dish. The gnocchi was solid, but definitely included a lot of squash. In the same way the ragu was 'lamby', you need to be ok with a 'squashy' flavor if you order the gnocchi. ...though, if you are good with it, the gnocchi is great. In the end, we left very satisfied, are sure to return, and will have no trouble recommending this place to others. read more

This is possibly my favorite restaurant! I've eaten here many, many times and am always thrilled with the food, service, and atmosphere! The menu does change frequently, but I highly recommend the creme fraiche wings and duck leg confit for dinner and the truffled eggs for brunch. You should make a reservation, but they can *occasionally* squeeze in a walk-in. If you get there early for dinner, let the hostess know and then head to the bar around the back of the building. They'll come and get you once your table is ready and take your drinks to your table (you can't take them yourselves because you have to go outside). Recently I attempted to make the creme fraiche wings myself and failed miserably. When I came in next, they cheerfully told me where I had gone wrong and how to make them myself. As if I didn't already love this place! read more

Came here for brunch on a Sunday with my boyfriend because my co-workers rave about how good their brunch is here. I ordered the eggs w/ kimchi brunch plate and my boyfriend got the venison omelette. Both plates were "Ok", nothing special at all. A bit disappointed in their food but maybe we didn't get the popular dishes that are actually good?...I don't know. It is a little hole in the wall restaurant. Maybe about 8 small tables? So make sure to make a reservation because it was busy. The reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 3 is because of our dessert. We got the mochi flight....and omg, it was sooooooo good! Now I can't eat frozen mochis from the grocery store because it won't compare to the mochi they make here. I might just come back here for the mochi flight :) read more

This is a gem in Vienna. It's hard to find a good non-chain, foodie type restaurant outside of DC. This is a very small place, it might fit 25-30 people in the entire restaurant. Service is personal and very friendly. I'd would recommend reservations for weekends. We started with the creme fraiche chicken wings and the pear salad. The wings are nice and crispy with a korean sauce. For the entrees, we had the duck leg confit and the beer braised beef cheeks. The meals were well prepared, seasoned and tasted delicious. I don't remember the multiple cocktails we had, but they were very good. The chocolate bread pudding was a nice finishing course. Overall, we were very impressed with the service and the food. We would definitely go back and try the other dishes on the menu. Tim Ma is a great chef in this area and I look forward to trying his other restaurants & upcoming restaurants. read more

It's hard to find value for dollar anywhere anymore. A diner can get creative food for hundreds of dollars, or you can get lousy food for a moderate bill. Maple Avenue has a very creative foody menu for a reasonable price. I was impressed with the service, presentation and execution. I'll certainly go back and explore other menu items. I had the crem fraiche wings and the duck leg. It was probably a bit too much bird for one meal, but they were both great, so who cares? read more

Been here twice. Once previously for lunch (great) and today for brunch. Wow. We had the tasting menu and not only is the food incredible, the price is reasonable and service is very attentive. Don't see why we won't be back once a month for brunch. read more

We stopped in for a late brunch this last Saturday after a family event. It was just what we wanted. The six course brunch for two was delicious and very satisfying with so many different tastes. The place is tiny and a little worn but the staff is excellent and the service just right. Don't miss the fried apple pie! read more

It's a very small restaurant with a few tables but it makes up on big flavors, love the fried green tomatoes and the duck just perfect very friendly staff overall great experience! read more

Fantastic food and service! I went here with my boyfriend for the first time tonight and it was AMAZING. I ordered the House Gnocchi with the Apple Pie Sangria - Perfection! Just made reservations for this weekend already! read more

Surprisingly worth the trip. This place is so tiny and looks like an old 40's building, but it's got an upscale menu and chefs to back it up. Parking was a bit tight but it was easy to find and right near Wolftrap. I loved the seared scallops and he dug the chicken. We shared the mac n cheese which I think had a bacon topping. Normally I'd object to that but it was so subtle and it worked with the unique cheese blend. They have very different drinks like a sparkling rose lemonade and a chocolate stout beer float. There are only about 9 tables so be sure to make a reservation! You'll be allowed in a t-shirt but feel more appropriate in a nice button down shirt and slacks. Enjoy! read more

Third time was not a charm...finally went last night. We had tried twice previously but life got in the way and a 30 minute jaunt to Vienna made rescheduled impossible (we tried). My wife is a vegetarian and the choices we limited. Sweatpants Sunday - we went as a belated-b-day dinner but we dined with family in sweatpants, other couples in date attire, and kids playing angry birds on iphones. I wanted to like it and not be a hater but sitting two feet from the door with blasts of cold air turned me green. The decor is fine, the space is small; they have a few local photos and pieces of art amongst the random power outlets, cords, and other building guts that spill out from the back wall. I spent a good portion of the meal wondering what this space used to be. The food was good. The portions were fair. Our server was meh; the entree came out while we were still working on our salads (apple - yum!) and thai okra (super yum!). No asking, just dropping. We lived and finished our meal but the entire experience, ever for a Sunday, felt rushed. Desert was bread pudding (yum) and lime pie (marshmallow topping wonderful but too much crust and way, way, too sweet). I'm sure it's great for Vienna but I'm surprised it's so high on the Washingtonian magazine ratings and can say that we will not return. read more

This is a small wonder found right on 123 (Maple Avenue) in the heart of Vienna. You could easily miss it when you're driving by, but make sure you don't! This day we went for brunch, and I had the truffled eggs with breakfast potatoes, bacon and a side salad. They were sensitive to my gluten allergy, and did a great job catering to it, as the menu was marked with what was what as far as gluten free goes. Everyone at the table loved everything they tried, each had unique flavors and felt like they were homemade especially for us, not in a restaurant kitchen. The size of the restaurant is very small, and therefore, make sure you make a reservation, even for brunch or lunch. They also do not do any substitutions, but why would you need to with this menu? Too bad we didn't leave room for dessert, with the funnel cake we saw at a neighboring table, my mouth was watering again. There are just enough parking spots in a lot next to and behind the restaurant, so get there a little early to make sure you can find one. read more

tl,dr; great food, really small venue, go here (for you people on mobile phones looking for quick summaries) Long version: came here with a friend, did not disappoint. The menu appears boring, but don't let that fool you. Our waitress told us that we could opt to eat the "small plates" either as an appetizer for a main plate or treat them like tapas. I wasn't sure if I wanted some variety in life, or maybe I just wanted to see what the hell this restaurant is, but I chose to order five small plates and share. Portion size was pretty good and the items were things I've never really tasted before, like Thai inspired okra or beef tongue and tripe salad. They were all very good, even the more familiar items like beer battered fries or steamed mussels. Since I still wanted to talk some more with my friend but not wanting to seem like dicks just sitting at a table, overextending our welcome, I pushed for dessert. While my moral, health conscious self regretted ordering two fried items, I personally enjoyed their homemade funnel cake and chocolate dumplings. I admit, it's probably kinda stupid to get two similarly fried desserts, in the words of the wise man Drake, YOLO. No but seriously, it was good. It didn't feel heavy at all and the textures were great--crisp on the outside, rich and decadent on the inside. My GI tract is going to get its revenge on me tomorrow morning, but I'd probably come back here again. Fair warning, it's really small and parking sucks, but in another light it's cozy and makes you feel like you're in one of those Hobbit homes (not really). You could also bring some friends here to just sample desserts and drink coffee, this places seems great for that. read more

I enjoyed this place! It's very small and looks like a dive restaurant from the outside, but it has character. My mom read in the Post that it only has 2 servers, but it doesn't need any more. It only holds 26 people and that would be tight. Apparently the man who owns it is also the Chef and he changes the menu according to what food is fresh and available. We were in a group of 4. Anyway, I had the baked mac and cheese which was fantastic -- made with gruyere cheese. I also had the duck frise salad, which was amazing. I also had the whole fish which was served to me right out of the kitchen, hot and fresh. I asked that they remove the head and tail and they obliged. The fish still had the spine, but that's ok, it's just a little harder to eat, but worth it. The thai Okra is excellent and so is the apple salad and tomato soup. The beet salad was bit underwhelming. I also had the shrimp and grits which I thought was pretty good, but some of the other food was better. For dessert, the chocolate dumplings are to die for!! read more

The food was amazing! My friends and I went during the Taste of NoVA event so the menu was set but everything was delicious! The staff was helpful with the menu items and so polite, which is what I expect from a fancier restaurant. You WILL need a reservation as there are only about 10 tables, and each one of them were booked throughout the evening. It was my birthday, so the waiter even gave us mini flutes of champagne which was greatly appreciated to make the night special. read more

I was very excited to see they had opened a restaurant in this little spot since its so close to my house! My boyfriend and I went there for dinner one night and after a brief wait we were seated and had some great beer and awesome homemade dumplings. He got the steak and I got the salmon, both were delicious! The best part though was the desert! We got the funnel cake with ice cream and I was in my own personal heaven! The place is a tad bit tight, but service is friendly and it has a cozy atmosphere. I hope this place stays around!! read more

Delicious!!! That is all. Pumpkin buttermilk pancakes, OMG!!! My boyfriend had the venison omelette and it too was delicious. They give you a personal French press at the table for your coffee which he LOVED and for me, the bottomless mimosas were delish!! Was worth the drive, although we were going to a show out there which was the main reason that we made the reservation. Oh yes, and DON'T FORGET to make your reservation!! read more

Came for Restaurant Week and wasn't particularly amazed. Maple Ave is a TINY restaurant located right in Vienna. There are only about 8-9 tables inside and little to no ambiance... It's decorated very plainly and housed in an extremely small free-standing building, with the main dining area in the front, the kitchen in the middle, and a small extension in the back that doubles as a waiting area/bar/extra seating. It's very casual. Food: ranged from pretty good to bland. - PEI Mussels: The mussel app, served with coconut saffron broth, was the highlight of the meal for me. The mussels were large and the broth was really flavorful. The portion size was was also surprisingly large. - Beef cheek with semolina: This was such a let down. The beef was extremely tender but so under-seasoned. Such a shame. It needed more sauce maybe, or salt... It was so bland I didn't finish it. - Duck confit: I tried a few bites of the duck, served with crispy roasted brussels sprouts. It was cooked perfectly and the brussel sprouts were a great accompaniment. It was drizzled with honey, which didn't bother me as I actually think sweet sauces go well with both duck and brussels, but I heard a few complaints about the dish being too sweet. - Yuzu creme brulee: By this point I was so full, but the creme brulee was good... very citrusy and light. Overall, I'd say the food is good, and you can tell the chef really put thought into the menu and tried to make conceptually innovative dishes (especially the scallops with basil ice cream). But, the dishes just didn't quite deliver what I was expecting given the stellar reviews and higher prices. I'd like to come back to try Maple Ave for brunch, but it probably won't be at the forefront of my mind when thinking of dinner options. read more

I love this place. It's a quaint little restaurant with great food. All of the wait staff is friendly and courteous and their brunch was great. I ordered egg and and kimchi brunch and they also offer bottomless cocktails during brunch (maybe next time) Not a million choices but they change their menu pretty frequently. All of it looked great and we all enjoyed or meals. We were there when they opened at 10 on Sunday but I think it's better to make reservations. That being said, they accommodated us since the first reservation wasn't till 1130. their dinner is also great. If you're in Vienna, I strongly recommend stopping in. read more

Came for brunch Food: 3.5/5 Brunch tasting menu for 2: notable: truffle eggs & bacon, do add the bone marrow to charcuterie, and shrimp&grits had good grits Avoid: carrot "salad" -- literally only 5 slices of carrot Cheesecake Mousse: overly tart peach reduction on top but the crumble at the bottom was good Dark chocolate bread pudding: a misnomer. For the love of all things, please don't call this bread pudding.... it's just a cake with dark chocolate drizzle Scallops and Coconut Risotto: risotto had just the right amount of coconut, perfectly seared scallops Peach Ricotta Pancakes: fluffy, just the right amount of actual peaches Service: 5/5 great service, super attentive waitress and the food came out quite fast Ambience: 4/5 tiny restaurant but very open, so you can hear everything. Not great for parties more than 4 Worth a try but would only return for the eggs & bacon and scallop risotto read more

I loved the Grits and Shrimp (!) but my main dish, the Moroccan chicken was greasy and not very flavorful. My wife had the pulled pork sandwich which I though was dry and the French fries were way too salty. The again my wife loved it. Beats me she is normally the healthy eater in the family. The funnel cake served with vanilla ice cream was nice and we both enjoyed it. read more

Funky location - what was this is a prior life? A dry cleaners? The parking "lot" can be an adventure. We were fortunate that it was 1/2 empty when we left. The menu is gets interesting. We started with small plates of friend green tomatoes and fried cauliflower. Both were good - the tomatoes tasted a little more fried than green tomatoey ; the cauliflower was ample and not overly fried or breaded. Then moved on to chicken meatballs and macaroni and cheese. The chicken was unusual - good chunks and twists of chicken meat rather than ground poultry. The star was the mac and cheese - about as good as it gets. A nice addition to Vienna - will return to check out the menu as it changes. read more

Came here for brunch with my fiancee, her sisters, and her sister's husband. This tiny restaurant with only 9 tables boasts some of the best food I've had in NOVA. Moderately priced, but serves entrees with very sophisticated flavors and thoughtful combinations. Don't skip the truffled eggs or the blueberry pancakes. Excited to try dinner there some time. read more

Amazing food, perfect service! It doesn't get much better than this. We came in for brunch on a Saturday. Having heard that the place is tiny and fills up quickly, we made a reservation before heading out the door. It's a good thing we did, because there are only a handful of tables in this tiny space. The building definitely has a lot of character, with high glass windows encasing the small dining room. I ordered the truffled eggs, and Nadine F. ordered the ricotta almond pancakes. Everything was so good, with delicious flavors and delightful textures. The seasoning on the potatoes was perfect, the eggs were light and fluffy, the dressing on the salad was refreshing...I could go on and on! The pancakes were my favorite, I can think of only one pancake in my life that rivals this one. I'm thinking we'll make this our regular brunch spot! read more

Very small place with only about ten tables inside. There was a loud group of people next to my table so it was a little annoying. Food was delicious. Especially the green tomatoes. I ordered a bunch of little plates because I wanted to try as many different dishes as I could and it didn't disappoint. Four plates was enough for me to get full :)) The chef accommodated my order of half a plate of scallops. (I wanted scallops but they didn't have it among the little plates or tapas). The waiter was great as well. All in all a very good place. I would come again! read more

I passed this restaurant everyday but didn't notice it until I saw it on best NOVA 50 restaurant list, then I decided to try it out. First of all, this restaurant looks simple and small, and the menu looks simple and short with no unnecessary decoration. We tried shrimp and grits, and it was delicious with some okra slices, sausage, diced onion, etc. The mussels were super tasty, and the deep fried bread slices were well paired with it. The fried chicken were super JUICY and fresh!!! However, there were two improvements it can be even better: 1) the skin would fall apart with the meat. 2) there was a little oily smell/taste. I would definitely go back again. Highly recommended. read more
