Persuasian serves up solid Asian food and super service.
I recently came to Persuasian for dinner on Saturday evening. The restaurant was quite busy and my group of 4 had to wait for about 15-20 minutes to be seated. The server felt bad that we had to wait so long and was SO nice -- the service here is top-notch. The space contains a cozy dining area and bar and has a low-key yet intimate vibe.
We started out with steamed pork dumplings and wonton soup for the table. The dumplings were delicious and the soup was piping hot and not excessively salty like other wonton soups I've had before. The entrees here are quite large, so we ordered 3 dishes to share between 4 people. The orange chicken was absolutely fabulous and I would definitely order this dish again! The Thai basil shrimp stir-fry was also delicious -- I especially loved the sauce. The ginger white wine stir-fry was solidly okay -- unfortunately the sauce wasn't very flavorful. My only other criticism was that some of the vegetables in the stir-fry dishes seemed undercooked. But overall, the food was delicious and I left feeling quite satisfied.
