| - I don't often write reviews on restaurants because I work in the industry, and usually critique pretty hard whenever I dine out. The only thing lacking in this restaurant is their service, and as a front of house restaurant manager, these are the things that peeve me the most. Our waitress was okay, nothing special. We had a 9pm reservation and upon arriving 15 minutes early, the host quickly brought us to our table. Our waitress greeted us after about 5 minutes, mind you, the restaurant might have had a total of 6 sat tables at this point. She took a drink order for 2 of the people in our party, and quickly walked away before checking to see if myself or the other guest in our party would like to place an order for a drink. We waited 20 minutes before the ordered drink came back to the table, only to have to wait another 10 minutes before my drink and my friends drink to arrive. I ordered a Manhattan, but again had to wait for the server to obtain their bourbons available before placing my order. After the drinks were dropped we got to take a peek at the Dim sum tray. I ordered one of everything: house made kimchee, general tso cauliflower, pork belly bites and a himaichi roll. These were all fantastic aside from the himaichi, which was good, but nothing anymore special than my usual takeout sushi order on a Friday night. For dinner we all ordered multiple plates so we could all enjoy the multiple dishes that sounded incredible. I myself ordered the Pork Pastrami sandwich, Mortadella Steam Bum, and the Dan Dan Ramen. That's right, I ordered two entrees and a small plate for myself--and I ate everything. The pastrami sandwich was honestly one of the best sandwiches I've ever had at a restaurant. Simple preperation but the flavor combinations were on point. Between the garlic aioli, the provolone cheese wiz and the baguette, I don't know what I loved the most. The steam bun was tasty and a nice use of Mortadella, that you don't often see most places. The Ramen....oh the ramen! It was a great combination of 5 spiced pork sausage, mustard greens, a soft poached egg and a spicy chili sauce. I honestly can't remember the description of the dish but it was again, a flavor explosion that I had no issue inhaling along with my 2 other plates. Friends at the table ordered the beef tartar (the quality of the beef was outstanding, sweet and delicious, and the set on the plate complimented the dish well), short ribs (the biscuit was incredible and it reminded me of the holidays, great flavor and presentation) and other various types of ramen. Overall, we left full, but not feeling like death. The prices were more than fair for the quality of the product, presentation and location of the restaurant. The only suggestion I could make is get on top of the service staff to be more attentive and personable with tables. Our server was sloppy in appearance and seemed like she "wasn't all there". The guy expoing plates to the table was more personable than our waitress was, I wish we could have just had him all night. I will be returning and telling all my friends about this unique spot in town!
