| - We stayed at the Palazzo, and as part of our package, we got two $30 off cupons for Woo (we had two rooms, so got two sets of cupons!). I really hadn't heard anything about this place, and we were slightly reluctant to come since we had eaten at PF Chang's the night before, but man, were we glad we gave Woo a chance!
We arrived early and were immedeately seated- the restaurant was quite empty at 7PM. Our server explained the menu, concept and recommended drinks. Not only did they serve mixed cocktails, but they also had an extensive sake list.
We ordered:
1. Black Cod Lettuce Wraps
2. Rock Shrimp Tempura with Spicy Cilantro
3. Chicken Chow Mein
4. Stir-fry Scallops in Spicy Schetzuan Sauce
5. Kalbi Rib-Eye with Garlic Soy Sauce
6. Ginger Chicken Ravioli
Sounds like a lot of food, and they recommend sharing dishes, but they are tapas style, pretty small, we were a group of six girls and we probably could have eaten one or two more dishes, so don't be afraid to order a lot!
Absolutely everything we ordered was delicious. No exceptions. Everything came with a wonderfully flavored sauce that complimented the dish perfectly.
In particular, one of the girls fell in love with the Ginger Chicken Ravioli- to the point that she would not let the servers take the empty dish away as she wanted to lick the sauce off the plate.
The Kalbi Rib-Eye was also a stand out dish-- came on a bed of rice, with some crunchy burnt rice on the bottom- SO GOOD! The sauce was also absolutely fabulous.
I could have gone without the Rock Shrimp Tempura-- it was a bit bland for my taste, but the Black Cod Lettuce Wrap, I don't even know where to begin on this one. I could eat this for breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday without getting sick of it. The warmth of the cod, and the bold flavor, paired with the freshness and crunch of the lettuce-- what more could anyone want? I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ORDERING THIS, I repeat, I REALLY recommend ordering this dish in particular.
The chicken chow mein was also delicious, and the scallops were perfectly cooked. All around fantastic meal, wonderful service, friendly staff.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring Woo to New York City!!!!!!!!!
Please?
