Tavernakaya is a new favorite for the food and atmosphere. It looks like it attracts great nightlife too, but I haven't experienced that yet.
Some highlights include:
- Pork buns: another flavorful version available in Madison
- Take: I can't get enough fish with rice ever. The California roll is the best I've had--and I'm totally against the idea of the Cali roll!
- TK Inferno Set: The scallop roll was surprisingly delicious. So sweet and simply complex.
- Korean Chicken Wings: Thick crispy outside with juicy inside and Korean vinegar wing sauce.
- Miso Ramen: Comfort in a bowl. The handmade noodles are excellent.
- Spiced Moscow Mule: Yaaasss!
- Seaweed Salad: I hesitate to put this on here, but it's a nice, unique take on the standard seaweed salad.
Misses:
- Popcorn Chicken: Nice spice flavor, but they're really dry and basic.
- Pork Belly Skewers: Awesome flavor! But two bites for $8????? NO!
- TK Bay: The scallops were wonderfully sweet, but this roll turned out mostly like cole slaw.
The service at Tavernakaya has been excellent! Boris and Trevor both rocked it when we were in. Enough good food and a great atmosphere to keep me coming back!
