  • Rebel and Demon... Research and Development... Rad and Deficient... The ambiance is casual and loud. Old rap music plays in the background as very perky and enthusiastic weight staff proudly summarize the menu. The polarity in this restaurant's theme is also evident in the food. There were some good and not so good dishes. I started with 510 caesar which had an Asian twist including mushroom infused vodka and a nori garnish. It was smallish in volume so it didn't last very long. The star was Eric's curry mainly because it was ingeniously different. The sour and heat of the dish pushed the envelope as it would expect mosted dishes here to do. The general sanders' chicken was also delicious. It was crispy outside and most in the middle. The waffles were a nice touch but more a garnish than a key component of the dish. The tom yum dragon buns could be better described as soup dumplings. The thai flavours were smart. The beef tartare was an interesting twist on the traditional dish with the addition of the son in law egg. The octopus was good. In particular, the choy sum chimichurri was quite intelligent. I would expect nothing less than gimmickry for a place who's origin stems from a reality cooking show. The CSB buns, which are as supposedly as rare as a compliment from Alvin Leung himself, are made hourly and one can consider themselves lucky to score a pair. The bread was amazing although the filling was a wee bit scarce. One of the most expensive dishes on the menu is the lobster chow mein ($25). It had a decent portion of the crustacean but was otherwise unremarkable and almost boring. The scallop dish was unbalanced regardless of whatever combination of the greens, hollandaise or chili sauce I used. It was too bitter and the heat wasn't balanced with anything. The scallops were not overdone but were missing the good sear I was hoping for. In the end, it was a decent dining experience. Prices were a little on the high side but to be expected given the celebrity status. Eric may drop you a hello but like on the show, exhibits a methodical and stoic demeanor more indicative of an engineer than a flashy television chef. Call it a weak 4 for a strong 3 depending on how much Alvin Leung irritates you.
