From the get-go, I was a little surprised by the price which was on the higher end for tapas. The truffle fried rice was pretty good. Strong truffle taste with mushrooms, which was relatively generous in size. The only off thing was how overwhelming the truffle flavour was and how it got kinda gross after a few servings. As well, the cherry tomatoes really clashed in flavour and were off-putting. I noticed a trend of overly acidic/sour salads that were meant to compliment the sweet and savoury feature of the dish. This was true for the lamb ribs which were super tender and amazing flavour but was ruined but a soggy snow pear salad, as well as the fried chicken which was spiced and peppered just right, but was then paired with a poor attempt at kimchi. Definitley the best dish was the buns with pork belly. Amazing flavours and juicy meat, placed into a
It was a nice restaurant, don't get me wrong. Nice ambience and service. Just questionable combinations of food that try too hard to push that Asian fusion aspect. Small portions at a fairly large price. Try once, but wouldn't make it a regular place to return.
