| - Came here tonight with my partner for a date, and we were totally unsure what to expect ... but we were pleasantly surprised with our experience!
First, the service was phenomenal. The staff here take something of a "team" approach to their service - multiple people will come and check on you, if you're water is empty whoever is nearby will fill it ... etc. It felt like a well oiled machine, and good thing too ... after we arrived the guests came flooding in (most with reservations, which is highly recommended if you decide to check this place out).
Before arriving we were decided on the fried chicken, but the knowledgeable server informed us that since everything was served family style, we were better off trying a few different things and sharing between us. We ended up getting the full order of the OG fried chicken, the dirty
fried rice, and the pan-fried gai lan.
The gai lan came first and was delicious. Essentially Asian broccoli, it was coated with breadcrumbs and parmesan and was drizzled with a spicy sauce. Next came the fried chicken which has a beautiful crispy coating AND, we were informed, it was gluten free to boot (so my stomach was very happy). The chicken was serviced with three condiments - pickled watermelon with thai basil, sliced daikon with jalapeno and a honey sriracha which I wanted to smuggle home in my purse. Finally the fried rice .... some of the best fried rice I've ever had. Incredibly flavorful, and the lap cheong inside of it makes it virtually addictive.
Topped off with good conversation, and a delectable rum punch, it was certainly a 5 star evening
