| - Just shut up and go.
No, like seriously. Go and get your ass into the 5pm line-up in time for the 5:30pm opening. Grab maybe 1 friend, because the smaller your party, the greater the likelihood of getting seated, even if it is the bar. I went twice last week, the food was that amazing.
Super fresh, super tasty and an incredibly friendly and eccentric staff. We were seated at the bar and had a perfect view of the chef preparing all the plates, it was like being at a cooking show from the Food Channel, only it's in real life.
They take all the "weird" bits of the animal, stuff that other people don't want like tuna belly and pork neck and transform them in the most lip-smacking tastiest creations imaginable, which only goes to prove that just about anything can be delicious and tasty if it is prepared properly and in the right hands.
Salmon salads with crunchy noodles, pork cheek pates with pita bread, Kahlua ice cream and wasabi ice cream, there was not a single disappointing note anywhere. If you are on a budget, there are options here which you can have without breaking the wallet, but just be warned that if you add things like plum wine and dessert, the bill can easily shoot up.
Waitress and the chef were extremely friendly, service is brisk, and many menu items are scrawled on yellowed pieces of paper stuck up on the wall, reminiscent of kids crayon drawings in elementary school classrooms. The restaurant is a tight, cozy space but somehow you don't feel crowded or claustrophobic.
Try it at least once, guaranteed, you'll go back.
