| - It's not often that I eat out and feel the need to review something immediately!! However I feel sick... not sick the food was bad, but sick because I ate too darn much haha! My bff and I have decided that we are going to try to visit a new restaurant, (aka new to us), once a month. We started tonight at CO because our slacker selves hadn't exchanged Christmas presents yet. I know, terrible!! I should preface this by saying I love Asian food, minus anything alive or particularly squiggly, I'm into it all and this menu has a bit of everything. I ordered the Orange Blossom cocktail to start while I perused the menu. It was delicious and sneaks up on you while you drink it. I also later tried the pineapple/aperol drink. It wasn't as good. We took a long time to order because we couldn't figure out what to get (we wanted it all), However order we did. To start with I got the spicy crab Rangoon and she got the beef and kimchi dumplings. Both were really good, but be warned the Rangoon comes out molten hot (I burned the roof of my mouth lol). We couldn't decide between sushi and an entree so we decided we would each get both. I went with the pressed spicy tuna roll (good but not mind blowing), and she the caterpillar roll (she said it was good, I don't like eel). Now when it comes to entrees I hands down made the better choice! I went with the Korean rice bowl and it was so, sooo good, seriously the beef was perfectly cooked and all of the veggies were flavorful. The pickled carrots were love!! My bff went with the chicken Katsu banh mi. She liked it, but if I was her I would have had food envy!! Then we got dessert (did I mention we ate way too much food??). One tip, currently if you check in on Yelp you get an offer for a free dessert. We went with the cheesecake wontons, and they were amazing! Four small perfectly portioned wontons with what can only be described as orange blossom cheesecake, and candied orange rinds. I personally was in heaven.
The decor was nice, but not very comfortable. I seriously hate this trend of everyone having just high top tables. I'm short, not graceful, and I can't get in them without looking like an idiot. Luckily by the front window they had regular tables with little square cushion seats without backs. Overall I liked this place a lot... our waitress was nice but REALLY slow on service. You could tell she wasn't into it, I get it it's a Monday. So 4 stars it is, and I think I absolutely would come back for the rangoon, Korean rice bowl and the cheesecake wontons!!
