Atmosphere: 8/10 Very nice restaurant. Better than most places.
Long Review:
My parents and my girlfriend arrived at about 1pm on a Sunday afternoon. We were expecting a wait, but thankfully there was none. We were sat down immediately and took a look at the menu. We settled for the family combo 2, as we wanted to eat both beef and pork and it seemed like the best middle ground for that. Then sides came out and then the real show began. Nih (I hope I spelled your name right btw, I'm sorry if I didn't) was our server, and truly took care of us amazingly. It was all our first time here so she explained how to eat the sushi rice with the brisket, cooked all of our meat to perfection, and answered any questions we had and got our sides refilled promptly. A+ service.
Now onto the food. The sides were good and plentiful. They refilled the salad pretty frequently considering my mom prefers veggies over meat. They brought out the bean paste soup and steamed egg which were then overshadowed by them bringing out the meat. Family combo 2 came with Brisket, Outside Skirt, Pork Belly, and the choice between Pork Jowl or Neck. Jowl was the obvious choice.
First on the grill was the brisket which was delicious over the wood fire giving it an amazing taste. Nih explained how to eat the sushi rice with the brisket which was very new to me as I've never eaten brisket in this way before. Up next was the skirt steak. She actually cooked it two ways for us as my mother prefers her meat more well than the rest of us. The skirt steak was very good and they grilled it on a wire grill so the char was even more apparent adding that second layer of flavor beyond the usual tasty meat. They also gave us refills on the bean past soup and the steamed egg and continuously topped off our sides. They also have a call button in case you need someone and there's nobody free nearby which is quite convenient.
Finally was the pork belly and the pork jowl. Being pork it takes a little while longer to cook than the beef, but goddamn it was worth it. Usually I prefer beef but both cuts of pork were amazing and even better than the beef. The pork belly got to a perfect crisp on the outside and the jowl stayed nice and tender after cooking. My father preferred the former and my mother the latter and they can be hard to please. By the end of the meal, we were all stuffed. To be honest, none of us were expecting to get full, being used to AYCE levels of food, but somehow they managed to achieve that goal. To be honest we were struggling to finish the last bits of food, but did because of how delicious it was.
Finally was dessert. They told us the flavors and we were just expecting a scoop or two of ice cream but they brought out these ice cream sandwiches with crispy rice crackers, each of them cut into quarters that were still very well sized. My mother does not like sweets, like at all. But she ate 3 of these, that's how good they were. After we got the bill, we realized we paid less here than we do at AYCE places with much less quality. What a deal! They also have complimentary slushy machines for when you wait for a table (which was practically no time for us) or as you leave, which we did haha!
Its a very nice place. The decor is nice, and I dig the re purposed warehouse look. The bathrooms are equipped with disposable toothbrushes, tooth paste, and mouth wash if you so feel the need. Plenty of walking room, some places try to pack too many tables that its a hassle to get around them.
All in all, great place. We'll probably be back for my mother's birthday next month since she wants to come back here already haha. 5/5 stars!
