  • The atmosphere here is something else. The place is a house and perhaps looks like a weed dealer's house with a street sign coloured red light coming though the window. The decor is very eye catching. The style is eclectic and almost reminiscent of like a tiki lounge but more styled towards a south Asian feel. The music is straight up hip-hop and J. Cole's GOMD could be heard as you dine. If you don't know that song YouTube it to get a sense what to expect. The first thing I have to say is the safest bet is to arrive around 6 but this is only my best guess. This place gets packed quick and continues to stay busy even into the later hours of the night. You can expect to wait 1.5 to 2 hours if you arrive at 7pm without calling ahead. Also there is basically only one bench seat with two seats if you're planning to tough out the wait. This place is structured to be more like tapas so the drink menu has quite a few options (and the reason why we people linger) and the plates are on the smaller size but I must say the flavors are exquisite. The bone marrow has no bone marrow per se but the beef is brighten by the acid and tender as can be. Also if you don't like cilantro don't get this dish but if you do it's a huge delight. The salad was a great contrast in texture compared to the beef. Again another dish with bright acidity and good crunch. The ceviche was a good balance with a less acidic taste in comparison to all the other dishes and ceviches I've ever tasted but it had a more well rounded taste thanks to whatever the milk component is. I would recommend not getting the Tres Leches cake despite its interesting composition it's eats quite heavy and come in the the worst presentation compared to all the other food we had which tasted and looked better. My girlfriend would like to note that it finishes with a slight sour taste to the point that she considered that it had perhaps gone bad (I'm writing this review weeks later and we were fine afterwards, so it's how it's supposed to taste.... I suppose) If you're curious I would say share between 4 people at the end of the meal. The service here is great and don't expect sympathy from the hostess as she writes your name down and tells you what the wait is like. In fact this night we waited the 2 hours and saw the glee she had as she crossed people's names off as they could not stand to wait so long for food or drinks. Overall this place was an experience and I'm glad I experienced it. If I remember to call ahead or am having an early meal I would definitely recommend or inviting ppl for drinks, again call ahead. If you're reading about this restaurant and wanna just try it on a whim I would say have a back up. Which I than recommend Bi Bim Bap just around the corner and you can read my review on that experience.
