| - Funkler and Snowball.... Great desserts!
This place is going to be a solid four star in the future. I have been here twice now in the past week and I really like the food. To have a tapas, asian fusion place in Henderson is pretty cool and with all the cool cats hanging out at the LVAC, I am sure this place will be a "go-to" restaurant in the future!
1. Location - 3 star - This is at the 215 and Eastern on the NorthWest corner. Near the LVAC and in the place that was formerly Xtreme Sushi and Steak. Very similar upscale and funky interior with a great exterior patio seating. It was almost warm enough to attempt to sit outside, however we were ill prepared. There are a variety of tables, booths and plenty of sizing for large or small groups. Love the location, but it is difficult to get to at times due to all the traffic and all. However, if you can navigate here, you will do well.
2 Ambiance - 4 star - As mentioned, plenty of tables and booths. A small cool bar in the middle as well as a small sushi bar off to the side. In my two times here, I did not see people really hanging out at either bar, yet when this place get's busier and it will, I am sure it will be hopping.
3. Food - 5 star - The food here is definitely very good, and we have tried so far many of the dishes.
Lucky Rice - Some concoction of sticky rice perfectly flavored with kim chee, fried egg and bacon. We added the pork belly option and this is a dish that you will keep on eating and eating. Tasty and addicting. The only problem with this dish is slowing down a bit to taste it. The texture, flavor and taste is just about perfect. This is something we will eat every time. We had both the regular Lucky Rice with all the meat and one vegetarian one without meat as it is Lent....
Lettuce Wraps - They have both the vegetarian and one with chicken. We ordered the vegetarian and it was great, when we did get it. It had Mushroom, Daikon, Eggplant and Carrots. Great flavor and of course fun to eat in the little lettuce wraps that they give to you.
Shishito Peppers - These were cooked to perfection. Nice taste, not spicy, just a hint of pepper. More vegetable but cooked to a nice crispy and charred texture. Made this so flavorful and mouth watering. Yes, you have to enjoy veggies to like this, and I have had Shishito Peppers at many places and enjoyed it here so much!
For the RobataYaki, we had Chicken and Scallion, Kabocha Squash, and Maitake Mushrooms These were all very good, tasty, and served on little platters with the skewered delicacies!
Fries - Yes, we ordered something as dopey as fries. It was a Friday, most of us were on "Lent" so no meat. We were hungry, and heck the fries looked good. You know what, as odd as it seems, and I am an Asian Foodie, I really enjoyed the fries and I normally never order fries or eat them!
The Dessert - The Funkler and the SnowBall - Wow, we were about to leave and I was actually yelping for a good dessert place and was about to go to Snowball Shavery all the way in C-Town. I had a guest here from New York, so we were on an excursion of food before her flight back to the Big Apple that night. We were about to pay and then one of the other waiters asked us about dessert and we said....What the Heck!
The Funkler - A Chocolate chip Blondie with ice cream and chocolate sauce. The size of a huge slice of pie, we devoured it. The blondie was really great tasting and the ice cream and sauce made this a la mode hunk of chocolate chip was definitely plate licking worthy.
The SnowBall - Yep, those good ole Hostess SnowBalls that I had growing up. Chocolate cake wrapped in a fluffy marshmallow and coconut and pink! So much better tasting than the Hostess one. This has a more dense texture and heavier cake. Made for an awesome tasting dessert Came with some kind of ice cream. I was not sure what it was exactly.
4. Service - 3 star at best - In my two times here, I would say that they service was okay. First time was lunch they kept servicing us from the far side of our table, over all the condiments and so far away from us. Very odd. Second time, we had dinner and it took about 10 minutes for the waiter to come take our drink orders, it took about twenty minutes and two reminders to get our drinks, then when we ordered, he left out two orders and got one of the vegetarian ones, entirely wrong and brought it with meat. We never got the two other orders, but since I checked the bill and they did not charge me, we didn't ask for them. It was too late and we had a plane to catch. A good point is that another waiter came out and corrected the vegetarian order and gave us a take home box for the meat order and did not charge us. That was cool.
You are only as strong as your weakest link so I feel that once they get their wait staff fully up to speed, this place will be a solid 4 or 5. On a good note, we had one main server, and three others helping him so I love teamwork!
