The food was delicious. I went with a group of 4 people and we all shared.
My favorites:
The Pork Buns! Oh good lawd, the pork buns! They were the best. I could have eaten 90 of em. At the end of the meal, I wanted to order one more before we left, but I was stuffed. I think the thing that I noticed the most was how the unique flavors and textures of everything that made up the pork bun stood out. And they all came together perfectly to make up a little piece of gastronomical heaven.
The Katsu Chicken - I don't like mushrooms usually, but as I get older I find myself not minding them so much. And I sometimes find myself loving a dish that is loaded with mushrooms. This Katsu Chicken is near the top of that list. It was the last thing that we ate and despite me being as full as I could be, I easily and happily stuffed the rest of this dish down my gullet. I'm tellin ya, it's SOOOO GOOD. This creamy mushroom gravy sauce poured over a fried chicken cutlet (I guess it was kind of a cutlet). The sauce reminded me of what you would get on chicken marsala. It was off the chain good.
Pork Ramen - The pork ramen was super delicious and super rich. I would actually say that it holds its own with the top ramen places in vegas and it could be argued that it's even better. I was hugely impressed. I'm having a little trouble thinking of all the good things about it, but please don't let that lead you to believe that it's not way up there with the other aforementioned items because it is.
The other items that we ordered were the New York Strip and a side of the Pomme Puree (I think that's what it was called). They were both delicious, 5/5 for sure, but they aren't standing out in my memory as much as the others, so take that how you will.
Bon Appetit!
