| - ahh... James C. got to writing his review before I did! Upon arriving, it was quite easy to find parking near the restaurant, as there is plenty of street parking available. I had trouble finding the entrance to the restaurant though... I neglected to look up :) #shortgirlproblems. I heard about this restaurant browsing through the avenue magazine site, it had a great review, so I was meaning to try this restaurant for a while!
This place is cozy, with LOTS of sunshine through the windows. There was the occasional moments where I felt blinded by the light. I had seen some photos of the food prior to arriving, so I was super excited to try any of their items. I think Al C. could totally read my mind, as he ordered the "kebab corn dog"s to start. I absolutely loved the unique taste of the corn dog; it reminded me of vietnamese sausage. Super yummy! I could probably eat 3 full orders of this by myself.
I got a Bento+ as I wanted to sample a bit of everything. I loved the sky high slider, I will be getting a full burger on my next visit for sure. The red slaw was unbelievable. I'm not usually one to eat slaw, but this slaw is a must try! it has a good mix of nappa cabbage, shaved carrots, daikon radish, toasted cashew nuts, beets, cilantro sesame dressing. Trust me. Get it! I got 4 pieces of their "silk road" roll. Delicious and fresh, it was an excellent balance to the slider.
And of course... I had to steal a few bites of the bf's meal. He got the "Shabang" Burgushi. We were excited to try this as it was supposed to come with a crisp sushi rice bun. What it actually was though was rice wrapped up in a wrapper to resemble "buns". It easily fell apart, but we were happy to eat it with fork and knife as well. The burgushi came with a side of buttermilk zucchini fries, which were delicious when piping hot, but not so good once they got cold.
Will definitely be back, as I'm drooling just thinking of their "mac n wow" and "croquette bombs".
