| - Ive been to Nami and thought it was awesome. But I never had the chance to try Green until now.
I tried a good amount of things and highlight all the details below.
Jamaican Bowl Thing - Super fresh, brussel sprouts were fried just right. The sauce they use was a low toned sweetness that wasnt overbearing. The vinaigrette was a little too powerful in the first few bites, but subsided immediately after.
The crab ragoons were a freak of nature. Its hard to believe that it wasnt cream cheese or imitation crab fr that matter. It didnt necessarily have the fishy taste of the sea, but it was damn close. The sauce they give with it tasted like au jus! I could have ate a boatload of those things.
The samosas were a solid option. They weren't as crispy as I like, but they had some flakiness, as well as a nice overall mouth-feel with the grease. Oddly enough, I wish the containers of dipping sauce were wider, as I had to break the samosa down for it to fit.
The chameleon taco had a great, bold flavor. I thought of it as a southwest flavor, even though I dont think thats what they were going for. The tempura batter taste was spot on for what you would expect on a piece of chicken. The eggplant and sweet potato are already soft, so they spill out of the tortilla fairly easily. As long as you eat this carefully, its worth getting.
They serve fresh fruit that tastes great, but I m annoyed that they only gave me pineapple and grapes. Im not asking for the Chiquita banana hat in my bowl, but Im expecting some type of variety. Maybe if they listed what fruits were actually available, I wouldn't have been as perturbed.
Overall, I was quite excited with what I had. I feel this establishment is a not-so-hidden gem of the community.
