At the end, I don't believe it was worth it, especially at the prices they charged.\n\nI had the Silk Road to drink to start off with, and was rather disappointed in it. It was served in a tiny tea cup that was filled with ice, so the drink got watered down very quickly. Also, the tequila was so overpowering that I could barely taste the jasmine or lemon, and there was absolutely no bite from the chili pepper, which was the main reason I ordered the drink as I like spicy things.\n\nFood wise, I had the Tuna steak which was recommended by the waiter as well as the kimchee fried rice. The tuna steak was cooked perfectly, but that is about all the positive that I can say about the dish. It was served covered in a roasted red pepper/basil/ginger/EVOO \"salsa\" and the red peppers and basil just completely overwhelmed what little flavor the tuna had. Couldn't even taste any ginger in the dish whatsoever. Also, the texture on parts of the tuna were off, and so was the flavor. I described it at one point as tasting as if I was eating semi-firm tofu, as it actually had the flavor along with the texture. My friend who was dining with me firmly agreed with my assessment as well, so it wasn't just me. The kimchee fried rice was very meh, and I was disappointed again that there was no kick to it. There was a very strong flavor of dried shrimp in their, which kind of surprised me but not a lot as I know that it can be used in the making of kimchee. Overall though, I've had much better kimchee fried rice, but it was much better once I added some more soy sauce and sriracha to it to actually give it some oomph.\n\nI will not bother coming back here to try other things unless someone else is paying."^^ .
