The hubby and I decided to try this place since I work across the street and was starving and a couple of friends recommended it. We went on a friday night, it was pretty busy but we were seated right away. The decor is nice, there seem to be two seating areas, one more casual with tables (where we sat) and one that looked a little fancier that had nice booths, but the menu is the same in either section.
The menu is kind of eclectic and features a number of styles of asian cuisine in addition to sushi and some curry dishes. I had wanted to try the singapore rice noodle dish because I had it at another place and liked it, but I know that ingredients vary from place to place (it's just that kind of dish) so I asked the waitress what was in it, but she didn't seem to know and told me it varies from place to place, which I thought was weird because we were in THIS place where SHE WORKS so I felt she should know, or she could have asked the chef, but I was starving and didn't want to get into it, and didn't want to order something I didn't like so I ended up getting something else. So here's the deal...
Duck potstickers: these were just as the name says, pan fried potstickers with shredded duck and mushrooms and maybe some other veggies, served with what I think was hoisin sauce of some type (kind of asian BBQ?). they were really tasty and piping hot.
Thai crispy chicken: I'm not sure what makes this dish thai, but it was really just like sesame chicken. It was really good, super crispy chunks of white meat chicken coated in a sweet glaze with sesame seeds and served with some really delicious crisp green beans. The only thing I think could improve this dish is a little kick of spice because it was mostly just sweet, but that could be a personal preference. I ate my leftovers with some hot sauce and that helped add another dimension of flavor.
My husband got three sushi rolls, but as I don't eat sushi, I didn't try them, but he said they were good, not great.
overall, we had a good experience there and I would go back and try some of the more adventurous dishes on the menu. But my issue with this place is that it is pretty expensive for what it is. I mean, the atmosphere is nice and the food is good, but it's not like a special occasion/date night spot, but it's not a run-of-the-mill place either. I feel like the price is just a tad too high for the overall experience, which sadly will prevent me from going back as often as I might want. Our bill for 2, with food stated above plus a beer and a wine was about $75...there are much better and fancier asian places around here if I'm going to throw around that kind of money. read more
