I love Asian restaurants like this. It's a dingy hole-in-the-wall and it's SO GOOD and SO CHEAP.
I avoided coming to this place for YEARS because it's right next door to unPhogettable and that place is so hard to say no to.
One day my boyfriend insisted on trying something new and forced me to come here against my will. I was pissed. But then I walked in and spied with my hungry little eye this huge plate of grilled meats and got put in my place.
If this is your first time here, you HAVE to get the spring rolls with charboiled sausage. It comes in this delightfully orange and pink shrimp paste dip and the flavors together is pure magic. In the roll itself is a strip of deep fried wonton wrapper and creates a surprisingly pleasant crunch and great texture.
For your entree, definitely get the broken rice with 10 things because WHY NOT. Pork? yes. Short ribs? YES! Chinese sausage? Yes yes! Deep fried roll thing with shrimp in it? Yes yes yes! AND little pieces of deep fried pork belly scattered across the plate?! AHHHHHHHHHH.
Just thinking about this meal makes me so happy.
One star down because service is quite bad. Just prepare to flag down your waiter.
