| - All sorts of Asian foods (and mixed experiences)
Okay so I'm very conflicted on this place. The menu covers Vietnamese, Japanese, Thai, and even a bit of Korean. For those looking to try or get introduced to a variety of different foods from different Asian cultures I could recommend this place.
However, the taste of the food is also just as diverse. Out of the 4 dishes we ordered, 2 were surprisingly fantastic and 2 were pretty terrible.
+The Crab Rangoon ($5) - Flavorful, well sized, just crispy and sauced enough. It was delightfully portioned and pretty darn good.
+++The Masa Ramen ($14) - Holy cow! I go out of my way to eat ramen in every city I visit. I was not expecting to find such a good, clean, and well-balanced ramen here. It comes with a good portion of noodles and corn and the pork belly (which is dry in the buns) was actually very moist and delicious. Usually I go to Futo Buta for my ramen cravings when I'm in Charlotte but I may start coming here once in a while.
-Curry Shrimp ($8) - Shrimp tastes low quality, curry was subpar, and the bread (which was extra buttery) seemed to be doing its own thing.
-Pork Belly Buns ($6) - The most depressing looking (and possibly tasting) pork buns I've ever had. The buns felt like plastic and there were hardly any vegetables to add substance or balance to the bun.
Taste: 3.3/5 (4.5 for the first two and 2 for the last two)
Atmosphere: 4/5 (The centerpiece here is super cool)
Value: 3.5/5
