| - Flaming kitchen definitely has those flames going in the kitchen and I will vouch after eating at this restaurant twice that you do leave with the smoky and oily aroma in your hair and in your clothes. Depending on what you're doing for the rest of the day, you may or may not want to smell like smoke and oil.
Regardless, the food is quite delicious. I absolutely enjoyed how the restaurant does not skimp out on the quality of the food in the main dishes--whether meat or seafood--and even though the cost of the dish is slightly on the pricier side, I would say it is worth it! In fact, the portion was so huge and filling, I had to pack half of it home. In addition, I loved the sizzling hot plates kept the food hot because I take a while to eat, so my food usually gets cold by the time I finish eating it--but not here! I found the udon a bit on the al dente side and it could have been more soft.
With the appetizers, the rice noodle roll lacked a depth of flavour that could be achieved with some soy sauce for contrast to the hoisin and peanut sauce. The shake shake fries was pretty cool, where you shake the amount of seasoning you'd like on your fries. However, the salad that I got was a disappointment, in the menu picture, it had giant pieces of salmon but in the actual dish, the salmon pieces were super thin--will definitely not order it again.
Service wise, the servers were fairly kind and attentive to your needs. I just question their hygiene as I saw a server touching food with her bare hands, serving other customers, taking the bills, and touching food again.
Overall, would I come back? Well, I already did because I enjoyed the experience very much but maybe just for dinner as I don't want to smell like smoke and oil for the rest of the day if I come here for lunch. I also want to try the desserts here as I haven't done it yet!
