The wife and I came here with some friends one night. The description of it being an Asian gastropub really throws u for a loop. I was really excited to eat at an Asian gastropub, but the menu didn't seem gastropub enough. It did have some small and large plates, but didnt have that gastropub feel. We had a good meal nonetheless.
Started with a few small plates. Sweet pea soup which is a cold soup. Very smooth and creamy with a wonderful pea flavor. It was poured table side. Crispy pork dumplings which were like Gyoza. The filling had a wonderful flavor and the sauce really complemented the dumpling. Amma's homemade tomato soup. It was okay, a little sweet. Not one of my favorites. Caesar salad with yuzu dressing. Very good salad, the dressing was good and if I remember right I believe it had some fish pieces in it. It was very good all together. Tuna deviled eggs were the best dish of the night. Chopped tuna next to chopped eggs with an oil if I'm not mistaken. Odd combination but it worked.
Next we all had large plates. I had the shrimp and grits. The grits were made with coconut milk. It was great at first but as you continued to eat it it became really sweet. The shrimp were cooked perfectly though. Roasted chicken, the chicken had a lot of flavor but the vegetables served with it were just okay. You expect a little more, it was a boring plate. Crispy pork belly was awesome. Pork belly was crispy and sauce was outstanding. Miso salmon with shishito peppers was just so-so. The salmon was cooked perfectly but the plate was just bland. We also had the kimchi fried rice. The fried rice needed a lot more flavor, very bland. Almost like they didn't add any spices or salt.
Overall the meal was good. Will be back to try some different items.
