I was a huge fan of Masterchef Canada and to see Eric win and follow a career that he was passionate about. I can see him loving every minute of it too behind the restaurant's open concept kitchen.
The atmosphere and decor of this restaurant was very dim and relaxing (it was funny to see an older woman read the menu with her phone flash on though!). The barreling lights and mosaic walls made the place very upbeat and contemporary. Good vibes overall. I came with 2 friends and we each got a few dishes to share.
We started with the bbq pork buns that was fresh baked on the hour every hour. No regrets it was delicious and totally would have wanted more but there was more on the menu that we wanted to taste. We ordered a side of black bean brussel sprouts too and that was great! The sauce wasn't overwhelming and you can still taste the brussel sprouts.
I ordered the lobster chow mein, it was the dish i got super jelly over when the judges got to try it during a pressure test. Hands down would have it again it was flavourful and the lobster was done just right. Other dishes had were crab bimbimbap and General Sanders Chicken. Note: General Sanders Chicken is to share, way too big for one to eat. It wasn't a tough lesson to learn as it was very tasty too.
We had smoked milk with malted milk ice cream. It wasn't overwhelmingly sweet which is why i liked it so much.
I would come back at another special occasion because the price point is quite high.
