The sign said that they are open for both breakfast and lunch, and I'm glad that I made it a little bit early for breakfast. There were a lot of options on the menu. I decided on the one that was the easiest, juevos tocinos which I think means scrambled eggs. It included a side order of refried beans, and several tortillas. The eggs were good, but the beans were a little cold and there wasn't much. It always seems to be the case that they never want to dish out more than a sip of refried beans. The Server was pretty cool, and I didn't need to request the check this time. The ambiance is what it is, and I've grown to like the less fancier style and things more traditional around here.

The inside is cozy with low lighting. Their menu offer a variety of Asian cuisines from Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Thai, etc. We picked a few items to share: - Vietnamese-style beef carpaccio: a good citrus flavor in the sauce, topped with cashew. Overall good as an appetizer to start off with. - Shanxi noodles with tamarind and coconut chicken: this was our least favorite. The sauce in the noodles was very salty. I couldn't eat it after the first bite. - Tobiko rice: it had shrimp, roasted corn, spicy yuzu mayo, and tobiko. Pretty solid and nicely balance. - Sesame octopus: I like the mashed potatoes that came with it. Octopus had a lot of flavors and good texture. - Saigon style red snapper: wok fried red snapper. Crispy and the seasoning was good on the snapper. Pretty good with a nice citrus red cabbage salad that came with it. - "Chilango" (5 pan fried dumplings): their Mexico-city style dumplings. It had beef confit in the fillings. This was alright. Would prefer for it to be more crispy on the outside. We also tried their ice thai tea, beer, lemonade, and jasmine tea, however did not like the drinks. It felt a bit water-downed and too light. Service was friendly and quick. It wasn't too crowded during dinner time when we were there.

Thankfully, Sesame was open, and the menu was enticing enough for us to book a last-minute table and head over. It's a cute, Asian-style restaurant in Roma Norte. We were greeted right away and told to sit anywhere since it wasn't too busy. I ordered the pork belly bao buns from their popular choices menu and the squid as my entrée. There's just something about pork in Mexico- it's exponentially juicier and more flavorful. Yes, every bite was basically fat... but the best kind of fat. One bao is the perfect appetizer portion. The squid was pretty good too, though I learned that I'm not a fan of bonito flakes. They looked cool, as they were flaky and moving on top of the squid, but the flavor was a bit too fishy for me. Our waiters didn't speak much English, but we got by just fine with some pointing and smiles.

Save your money and throw it away on lotto tickets instead -- at least then you have a chance of ending up a winner. The space itself is underground and vaguely Chinatown-themed. A bit gaudy, but not totally out of character for the genre. The staff was attentive and food arrived quickly, which unfortunately was the highlight of the meal. Course after course was a disappointment. The sopa de tallarín con huevo was essentially spaghetti in chicken stock (likely bouillon) topped with a fried scrambled egg. The wonton soup wasn't much better, served with two large slabs of dried-out, tasteless pork that were tough to cut and harder to enjoy. The wontons themselves were the worst part. Both soups were firmly one-star at $149 pesos each. The rice arrived broken, overcooked, and pasty. Another one-star addition. Then the mains. The pollo agridulce came with exactly six pieces of chicken, served cold, sitting on an iridescent bed of what I can only guess were kohlrabi or broccoli stems. The color was unholy. At $250 pesos, this was another easy one-star dish. I actually felt insulted on this. The chow mein cantonese was possibly worse. For $350 pesos, you get a pile of stems -- bok choy, broccoli, kohlrabi, cauliflower -- mixed with subpar chow mein noodles, all served cold. More of the same dry pork showed up again, mixed awkwardly with warm chicken and hot shrimp, all drenched in a gelatinous sauce. Serving stems and temperature roulette is also to me insulting. To be fair, not everything was completely terrible. The res mongolian (hopefully Inner Mongolia province in China and not nearby neighboring country Mongolia) was serviceable and reasonably tasty, though still overpriced at $250 pesos. There was a ridiculous amount of leek and green onion relative to the meat, which itself was just decent. But nothing here will do much to save Luau from itself. CDMX has extraordinary food. Do yourself a favor and find it somewhere else. Happy eating from John Seeto!

I had dinner at Galanga with my mom and brother a week or so ago when we were in Mexico City on…read morevacation together. I'd heard a lot of great things about Galanga (and read about it in the Michelin Guide), and because of that - and because it's vegan-friendly for my vegan mom - I chose it for one of our evenings in Mexico City. Unfortunately, the meal just didn't live up to our expectations. The restaurant is beautiful and very comfortable. But when we arrived, we were told that they were out of many things on the menu - not one dish, not two - I'd say about 8 items on the menu, including most of the dishes we were most excited to try. Ultimately, we ordered a raw scallop dish, vegan Pad Thai, and Pad Kra Pao. I enjoyed the raw scallop dish - spicy and fresh - but the other two dishes were fine (flat and maybe not as expected - the Pad Kra Pao, for example, wasn't made from ground beef but from chunks of beef that weren't the most tender but weren't bad). I also had a cocktail that was quite nice - lots of coconut and tropical flavors. The other main issue we had was with the service during our meal. While our server was extremely friendly, the service was chaotic. They brought a dish to our table that we said we hadn't ordered. They left it at the table anyway, so we figured whatever, we'll eat it. We'd had a few bites and then they came back and said we'd been right, that we hadn't ordered it, and took it away, which was strange, since they couldn't serve it to the correct table now anyway. We had to ask for another bottle of water several times - it never came, so we kept asking. We finally got one after asking three times, I believe. It seemed like the staff or kitchen were having a very off night, and that happens. But when a place is recommended by the Michelin Guide, you just expect a little more. Our experience at Galanga reminded me of trying out a restaurant that has been open for a week or two and is still in its soft opening and figuring things out. In a city with so many great restaurants, I just can't imagine I'd return, nor could I recommend it to friends that visit Mexico City. They might have just been having a tough night, but it was perhaps the most disappointing meal I've had over three trips to Mexico City.
