| - If you go to a new restaurant on a Wednesday night, at 9pm, and it is packed to the brim, you KNOW there's a lil' sumthin sumthin going on.
Came here with the family and ordered 3 dishes. The price of the dishes are around $15-20 each, but we ordered the fried yellow-fin Garoupa, which is a pricier dish at $30. The meal comes with a big vat of soup, with the meats and veggies that the soup is made with being served alongside. Very delicious, and practically counts as a dish in itself. We ordered the steamed chicken, a classic dish. The chicken is smooth and meaty, not too salty. Also ordered the beef with bitter melon. Everyone on the table agreed that the beef was absurdly good - tender, flavourful, juicy. I think with these two dishes went ridiculously well with white rice.
The Pièce De Résistance was the fried Garoupa. The fish itself is white and meaty, and really takes on flavours well. We got a tail piece, and the main bone was already removed for us. This came with veggies on the side, and most remarkably, the skin was still crunchy and crispy, despite being slathered with sauce. Very very very good.
The prices here are actually very reasonable because the dishes are very large, so it's perfect for sharing. The meal ended with complimentary dessert, which changes from evening to evening. We had the cashew paste, which was fantastic! Smooth and authentic!!!
Overall, I'd say this is a 4.5 star experience (but Yelp offers no half stars...)
