| - Had a really great experience here. We ordered the spicy cucumber salad (creamy, fresh, a little spice), pork bun (perfection), mushroom bun (seriously, texture on the mushrooms was divine), lamb (how is it so perfect, not a spice out of line and all flavors working together delightfully), and mushroom noodles (starchy, hearty, yummy). Oh, absolutely get the "flask" it's like 4 drinks in one and you get to keep the flask - aromatic, well-balanced, a very nice drink. Had to deduct a star after trying our two neighboring tables' food. The branzino was past it's "best by" date and a little fishy, its sauce wasn't as balanced as the flavors on our table. The pesto with the sausage noodles wasn't an expected combination, but it was fine. The flank steak, I couldn't even finish the small bite shared with me it was so tough and flavorless. No joy in that dish. Salt+pepper seafood was salty as expected. I saw a table send back the shishito peppers for being far too salty, but I didn't try them. I could visually see the salt-dusting on top was excessive. If I hadn't tried the other tables' food, this would be a 5-star food+experience review. I was surprised to find disappointment in the other dishes, since what we ordered was so delightful. Since the fun dishes are all for 4-6 people, we'll have to bring some friends back with us next time to try them out. Wish they had some portion sizes geared toward parties of two. Hopefully they'll consider adding that option to the menu in the future.
