My Mom's cousin had seen this restaurant on the Cooking Channel so many times she was thrilled to finally try it! This review is based on the impression of all four of us.
I uploaded a photo of some of the decor. They have cool Asian themed backlit panels on the wall with large screen TVs. Black tables with a line of black booths dividing the dining room in two. The black painted ventilation shafts against the ceiling lined with halogen track lighting and hidden speakers give it a slightly industrial feel. The rest of it feels like pre-club trendy. I dug it but others in the party thought the alt rock was out of place and the spotlight effect due to the angle of the lighting was distracting.
The waiters and servers were all very nice and knew their product. We ordered the Kiki, Ronin, Banh Mi and Lonely Bird sandwiches... and the oxtail chili cheese fries. The $11.50 price tag on this immense appetizer should have given away the size of it. Rich piquant chili, sweet beans with a creamy cheese sauce and jalapenos on a mound of tasty fries perfectly cooked and crisp crowned by a sizzling sunny side up fried egg (see uploaded photo). Loved these! But then I had no room for anything else!
My party each loved their burgers! Two managed to finish theirs but the rest of us barely managed half. I had mixed feelings about my sandwich. The bread was awesome. Reminded me of Hawaiian King sweet bread with a beautiful egg white finish. I don't care for mayonnaise and the sauce they served on the side had a great flavor but I couldn't get past the texture due to aforementioned mayonnaise Fear. The marinade on the turkey-chicken patty was wayyyyy too sweet for me. I ended up boxing most of it for my sweet-loving family. I'm a savory gal all the way!
Good experience, great fries and overall good sandwiches depending on which side of the sweet-savory fence you sit.
