| - Ok. I had really high hopes for this place. Shame on me for not mentioning to the many wait staff who visited our table.
I would like to begin by saying their drink list is insane. They have a curry drink. Like a for real adult beverage containing curry. It was a shame that for me, the curry didn't come through as much as the bitter did or the black lemon or whatever it was that made me not a fan. Surprising, I never thought I would ever say I didn't like something curry. Jailbird is what the guy had and didn't seem to mind it.
So, the food. I couldn't get far past the lettuce wraps. They came to the table and upon first glance I asked "oh, is this like ceviche?" It looked raw, grey shrimpos.... upon first bite, well, that was the last bite. I began to wonder if it was fish sauce that overpowered the dish or if it was raw foul rotten seafood. That was it for me. The pork steam bun like taco thing was good. It reminded me of Chinatown steam buns in Toronto, kind of.
We got spicy seafood hotpot. To me, it smelled like the lettuce wraps but everything at that point tasted like the lettuce wraps. I just couldn't. Maybe we will come back but for the fact it was supposed to be my birthday celebratory awesome dinner. I was very not stoked.
The atmosphere was on point. The wait staff was great but the food? NOT at all my favorite or even like close to inviting me back. I was really wanting that bite that just makes you go mmmmmm... which is what I thought my guy was telling me... No, he wasn't sure if it was bad and needed my first bite to confirm what he was feeling about it himself.
Like I said, maybe we will give them another try but it will have to be after I forget tonight.
