I saved the best for last. I realized that I was staying down the street from this restaurant on my 2nd night in. I had been admiring the fancy ironwork around the patio area during the day when they were closed and then who do I see but Chef Susur Lee inspecting his domain and then I figured it out. My friend grabbed us some early reservations on OpenTable and we came back later that evening.
We started with the Saketini and the Niagra, both were tasty but a tad bit too sweet. We would have switched to wine but no one came back to take a new drink order which was the only service bobble of the evening. Because everyone says it's a must we started with the Singapore slaw to which we added sashimi of tuna. OMG the slaw is UHMAZING. Seriously a top 10 dish, so complex and tasty. The sashimi was good but not really necessary to this dish.
We then had Luckee shrimp Cheung Fun and the spicy crispy tofu. The shrimp were also really delicious. The tofu was very good but in comparison to the other dishes was just not as outstanding.
The space between tables is tight so expect to have some interaction with your fellow diners and don't let your purse almost fall into their food...not that I did that or anything.
