| - This spot has been in my radar for a while seeing that I always enjoy tapas style restaurants that offer you the chance to sample many dishes. I organized a Meetup dinner for a group of 12 where we'd get a fixed menu at a fixed price and chef's choice on the items. From the moment I called in for the reservation, the staff was exceptionally accommodating and polite, ensuring me this would be a great experience, and it indeed it was!
We were served an abundance of food, 11 total, to share amongst our group and not one dish wasn't a complete pleasure! We sampled the ceviche, eggplant salad, papaya salad, imperial rolls, marinated beef, chicken skewers, mushroom dip, Thai sausage, curried fish, fried vermicelli, and lamb chop; everything was plain outstanding! All the dishes were well prepared and nicely seasoned; heavy on lemongrass, fish sauce, chilli and basil, representative of Cambodian street food as our waitress who happened to be Cambodian assured us, the dishes were just plain delicious!
I also got to taste some of their cocktails, including the Pimm's Juice and Tota Margarita. The Pimm's cocktail was light and palatable. The margarita, with crushed grasshopper and red worm, was interesting but I found it too smoky for my taste.
The service, from start to finish, was great; our dishes, served over three servings, came out of the kitchen at the same time and the staff took time to explain our dishes, much to the delight of the group.
The venue, with its graffiti wall, light wood tables and black chairs, including the long bar with ample seating and open kitchen, was slick, modern with an industrial vibe. Although we've heard the venue can get loud, we were all able to carry a conversation even though seated under a speaker, and the place was full on a Friday night.
I highly recommend this spot for its amazing and tasty food, great service and awesome vibe. Definitely going back asap!
