| - Why haven't I gone here before, it's just around the corner!!!
It's like a hidden gem, I've passed by it, not even knowing it was there.
We visited on a bitter cold Monday night and the place was 1/3 full.
It's dark, but very cozy. Our table position allowed us to peek into the kitchen and see the action.
We ordered:
Drinks: Bulleit Smash (just amaaaaaazzzzziiiinnng). Burboun, honey/mint syrup, mounds of frothy egg white. Just so smooth and easy to drink, not too sweet, boozy but subtle.
Spanish Harlem - reminded me of a well made margarita.
Food:
Wings - I love the sauce it's coated in but wasn't a fan of the wing itself (seemed it was mostly skin and bones, yet huge?). People just love this dish so I'm willing to give it another try
Mackerel - torched at table side. It's a cute little dish and a very small portion. No flavours come through, just bbq'd fish...not spectacular but ok.
Tempura prawns - oh yes, this was a winner! Huge prawns, crunchy tempura coated in a delectable sauce
Bulgogi steak - nicely marinated steak, divine!
The loosey - Korean version of burger.
And then we had a new dish, I didn't catch its name but it's essentially buffalo wing tofu tempura with blue cheese sauce on the side! That one was pretty delicious. Yes you're eating tempura tofu but it's just well executed and flavours are perfect! Another favourite.
We heard that squash poutine is all the rage but we were full at this point.
The place filled up at times, the servers were beyond nice and attentive.
6 dishes, 5 drinks, full bellies, tipsy heads = $100 + tip. That's a bargain these days!
I'd go back any time, it's really perfect for either a filling dinner or just a snack.
