  • My exploration of new restaurants brought us to Azyun, suggested by JK. It's a cozy space with seating for about 30 diners (my guesstimate). The decor is modern and chic, very nice. The menu is small but interesting and they had a few specials for the day. The dishes being served at nearby tables all looked good so it took us a while to settle on the Confit Duck Biang Biang Noodles, Lamb Ribs, and the Crab Sticky Rice (one of the specials). While waiting for our order, we started with some cocktails, the Shanghai Sling (gin, cherry brandy, orange, lychee, lime, bitters) for JK and Crouching Tiger (bourbon, gin, ginger beer, orange, lime) for me. The Crouching Tiger had a sharp bite from the ginger beer but it was nicely balanced. Checking into Yelp revealed an offer of any bar rail drink for $5 so I later had a Whisky Sour that was also quite good. The duck arrived first, very nicely presented. It tasted as good as it looked, maybe even better. Stirring the poached egg into the rest of the ingredients blended the flavours and textures quite nicely. The lamb was also very attractively presented, with the Asian pear salad next to it on a long plate. The meat was deliciously seasoned and tender, probably as a result of being slow-cooked for ten hours. The pear salad balanced the fat of the lamb very well. The crab sticky rice was wrapped in a lotus leaf and served in a bamboo steam basket, dim sum style. It was a good dish but the crab flavour was a bit subtle for my taste. I would probably try one of the other dishes before ordering this again. By design, the portions aren't "meal sized" but more like large tapas plates. That left us wanting a little more. Hmmm, fried chicken or bone marrow (special of the day)? The chicken was popular at nearby tables so we chose that. It was very crunchy on the outside and the meat was tender and juicy. It was actually a little too crunchy. The batter tended to crack and fall off. The chili mayo was a nice complement but would have been a more effective dip in a portion cup, rather than on the plate. Nitpicking. Overall it was a very good experience. The cocktails were on point. The duck and lamb were excellent, while the crab and chicken were very good. The service was excellent. I'll be back.
