| - Ate an early dinner here on Sunday before our scheduled movie at iPic. The interior reminds me of Jamba Juice - same color scheme.
Our server was Caitlin and she's very knowledgeable about the menu items. She recommended the grilled shrimp spring rolls as a starter, but apparently that item is very popular and they were out.
We opted to start with the Thai shrimp dumplings ($11), which consisted of diced shrimp, basil, mint, and jalapeno. The dumplings were served in a sweet and sour sauce, which I believe was made out of fish sauce (think Vietnamese nuoc cham). The dumplings were light, refreshing and very good.
I ordered the red chilli shrimp for my entree ($18), which consisted of gai lan (Chinese kale), spinach, Shiitake mushrooms, and sesame noodles stir-fried in a spicy sauce. This was DELICIOUS! Just the right amount of sweet, salty and heat. The shrimps were huge and cooked perfectly. To be honest, I was surprised at how "Asian tasting" this entree was.
My friend ordered the spaghetti squash casserole ($13), which consisted of shredded squash, tomato, zucchini, and loads of mozzarella - baked to gooey goodness. I'm not much of a cheese gal, but the couple of bites I had of this was pretty tasty. I liked the consistency of the "squash spaghetti".
I enjoyed the dinner experience here and left feeling like I did my body good. ;P
