| - Japanese Tapas! Do you like things fried?
Last night I came to Paid in Full with a couple of friends to try out their tapas and chat the night away. While we ate, we couldn't or I couldn't help but move to the old school dance music that was playing. At this point in the game, my friends are used to it and I do not embarrass them anymore. Paid In Full has a very urban vibe from the music they play, the street graffiti art on the walls and the bar height table and chairs. This restaurant has an incredibly fun vibe to it. Plus there is a disco ball in the ladies bathroom, just an FYI!
After looking at the menu and several "What do you want?"... "I don't know, what do you want?" we settled on four shared dishes- The Crab Croquettes, Crispy Tapioca, Traditional Octopus and the Oyster Furai. Out of all the dishes we shared, we all agreed that the Traditional Octopus was our favorite. With the rest of the dishes, it became a toss up of second to fourth place. All the dishes were good and very fried although I do have say the Crispy Tapioca came in as my second place favorite.
The Traditional octopus were little fried balls of octopus meat and served hot with Takoyaki Sauce, pickled ginger and dried, shaved bonito. The bonito is fun to watch as it moves from the heat of the dish. Besides being entertaining the Octopus was spot on great!
Since Paid in Full is my hood, I will definitely make an effort to stop by again. There were so many other tapas I wanted to try. See you soon, Paid In Full!
