3.5 and surprisingly good for a chain. Went here for a family brunch yesterday. We were a party of 15 and we probably all came at various times but the seating area they gave us was a tad awkward, split across three tables. Me and the hubby arrived last and kinda squished in.
Hubby was in indecisive mode so I ordered two things thinking he could have some and then decide his own later. I got the Korean beef appetizer and the shiitake garlic noodles which were listed under snack. Sufficed to say both plates came out and we realized hubby def wouldn't need to order anything else! They def give you huuuge portions.
The beef was well seasoned although a tad chewy. It came on a bed of rice and had pickled carrots and diakon and sautéed greens. I was surprising more impressed with the noodles. Hubby don't care for them much but I thought these were delish! Almost buttery... garlicy and mushroomy goodness. A great meatless option if you need one.
Oh and we got some drinks; I got the refresher , and he got the el picante marg. Mine was as it's name would suggest very refreshing!! But hubby's was the star imo. It was peppery n spicy, salt rimmed and sugary in a perfect blend! I declare all margs I get now should come with a charred jalapeños!!
Oh at some point we also had some of a pineapple cider... it was verrry pineappley and the hubby loved it. Lastly we ended with what I would say was the weakest point, a creme brûlée for dessert. I know right?! How could that be??
Well they put banana slices on top and brûlée those. I like bananas don't get me wrong but I think the two side pieces would have been sufficient and it lacked the nice crust I wanted because the actual creme did not get torched at all.
