For starters my wife and I chose a lightly dressed East Asian sesame cucumber salad and lotus leaf sweet rice stuffed with pork. Our server suggested we each order the sweet rice with pork, but I am glad we didn't because the dish was too sweet and very heavy without providing much in way of flavor. For entrees we shared a 1/2 rack of lamb and shrimp fried rice. The lamb has received positive comments by a couple of restaurant critics, but we found the dish to be pretty ordinary. We fared better with the shrimp fried rice that was outstanding. Overall Niu-Gu proved to be a mixed bag.
