| - A friend told me about this place before it opened and after looking it up, I immediately fell in love with their website. A little strange, but it's cute, funny, and drop-dead gorgeous. Once they finally opened I had to check it out.
My friend and I were the first customers to walk in, but they were still setting up so my first instinct was to run out. I didn't. We were greeted by the host and were seated by the window. At this point I was screaming (on the inside) because of how much I loved the interior design. Everything from the tiny teal tables to the pale pink chopsticks was clearly given a lot of thought. Kudos to them.
We decided to go for the Chinese Hamburger to start because duck rolls and pork buns were unfortunately unavailable. For mains, my friend ordered the Dan Dan Noodles and I ordered Mama Chen's Mapo Tofu along with a Sweet Peach cocktail. The cocktail was very refreshing and the perfect amount of sweetness. My friend's noodles came out, but we saw that there was peanuts in it (they're allergic), so we had to send it back and got the New Year Rice Cakes instead. Peanuts weren't listed on the menu, but the server assured me they would be putting it on there in the future. Then came my mapo tofu that was incredibly flavourful! Be careful of possible peppercorns though cause I bit into one and immediately went into shock; luckily there was only one. The chinese hamburger--more like a flaky pupusa--was pretty good, but I wouldn't get it again. Lastly, the New Year Rice Cakes arrived and it was also very good! The rice cakes were bouncy yet soft and the sauce was full of umami flavour. My only complaint would be that you only receive one stalk of asparagus cut into three in the entire dish haha...
Also, make sure to check out the ominous washrooms downstairs for a simulated acid-trip
TL;DR good stuff, bring a camera for cute pics and watch out for peppercorns in ya food.
