| - Came here on a Wednesday night around 730pm, although the place is considerably small, we were able to be seated a table for 2 fairly quickly. However if you are deciding to come for a party larger than 4, reservations are highly suggested because they restaurant sits less than 50 people.
For a fairly compacted menu, we ordered 4 items to share upon the 2 of us. We ordered:
Macboki - which was like a mac and cheese with small elbow macaroni with a sweet rather than savory cheese sauce, baked and topped with taro chips. There were 3 or 4 pcs of cauliflower in it, however I didn't quite understand the concept of adding that, it wasn't to add texture or flavor and only such little amount of florets. However I must say, it was pretty cheesy and quite surprisingly it wasn't heavy unlike most cheese sauces. Overall 4.5/5 *Definite must try*
Smoked Duck Ramen Salad - quite interesting I must say, it was cold ramen tossed in a wasabi Japanese mayo, so it was on a sweeter side with the taste of the wasabi radish but not spicy at all. The smoked duck was flavorful as well, tender and well seasoned. The mixed greens which came in it didn't quite really go with the dish, so I ate the ramen by itself and the greens by itself.
Overall 4/5
Immortal Burger - not quite what I imagined to be honest. I thought more of a slider size however it's an actual burger size cut in half. Spicy pulled pork at the bottom, I didn't really feel like it was spicy, bulgogi patty which was quite interesting and delicious, topped with coleslaw and kimchi. It definitely tasted better than its presentation. A little messy while eating it due to the height of the burger.
Overall 4/5
Spider Bao - deep fried soft shell crab with guacamole spread on the inside, stuffed with pickled onion and hoisin and sriracha. The bao was soft and moist which went well with the crunchiness of the crab. The soft shell crab was battered in panko which made the legs way too crunchy and hard.
Overall 3/5
Interesting experience overall, food was good as well as the atmosphere, however nothing too wow for me to come back a second time but would definitely recommend friends to try this place out!
