We ended up here by accident. We couldn't get into La Carnita next door because of the ridiculous 2-hour wait, and DaiLo was packed - but by chance and kismet, LoPan (DaiLo's second floor tapas-style snack bar) had a table available, so following the orders of our hungry stomachs, despite knowing nothing about the restaurant, we took a chance and had dinner here instead. We're so glad we did - sometimes, go with your gut. Stumbling upon even a random snack bar can bring you a satisfying, memorable meal.
First, the parking situation is decent. A block east of the restaurant are several small side streets where you can find free parking. If you can't find any, a decent amount of street parking around the restaurant is available.
Second, the service. I just wanted to commend how wonderfully accommodating, professional, and friendly the staff were. They were aware of my shellfish allergy from the outset, and went out of their way to ensure that the Jellyfish Slaw salad wasn't "shellfish" and made sure I was able to eat it.
Third, the food. Keep in mind that the orders here are all snack-size, appetizer-style, so don't expect a full-sized meal. We ordered: a) the Jellyflish Slaw, b) Truffle Fried Rice, c) Big Mac Bao (1 piece), d) Korean BBQ short ribs, e) KFC popcorn tofu.
The Truffle Fried Rice and the Jellyfish Slaw were definitely the stand-outs - delicious flavours melding sweet and salty with the comforting feeling of chomping on fried rice, along with really interesting textures in the Jellyfish Slaw (it wasn't slimy, but super crunchy and delicious). I would pass on the Korean BBQ ribs (it's basically something you can make at home, and is really nothing special).
Overall, for portion size, the value isn't that great (I don't think $19 for the Truffle Fried Rice was warranted, given how small the portion was). But, regardless, the quality of the food is there, and it was a great meal.
For two people, with tax and tip, we paid around $63.
