| - I have heard so much about this place and it does live up to it's hype - this place was awesome! Anticipate a little wait time, they said about 45 minutes and as many restaurants on Ossington, just hang out and grab a drink in the bar next door.
Sat at the bar - which was perfect, space is tight so get cozy!
WONTON SOUP - this was very flavourful and there were 4 small wontons in it, it's a great appetizer dish with loads of veggies in it.
LAMB & DUCK PROSCUITTO DUMPLING - not my favourite, it was a bit dry and I am not a fan of deep fried stuff, but my dining partner enjoyed it so it may have just been me!
GRILLED CALAMARI AND SHRIMP WITH MANGO - this was good because I like mango and cilantro, if you are not either of those fans, this salad is not for you - the calamari was few far and in between but it was light and a good appie dish as well.
GRILLED PIKE MACKEREL WITH YUZU PONZU SAUCE - if you like whole fish, this is the dish for you! I loved this dish, they de-bone it for you, which was great! The taste was lemony with Japanese sauce with was salty but light.
SLOW-BRAISED PORK BELLY WITH MOSCATEL REDUCTION - I don't know what moscatel reduction is - but it was so delicious, it came and it was dark looked crispy from the outside but it was so tender on the inside. The favour was salty and rich - I could only have 3 bites and I was stuffed.
Overall, it was lovely, good vibes, the staff was friendly and the service was quick. I really enjoyed this restaurant and there are so many things to try, there is something for everybody!
