Might be a 20/10 now. Had maybe my best meal ever before and was scared I may be let down this time and can say without any hesitation I was not at all and loved every bit of it once again! Definitely my favorite restaurant ever! Group of 4 of us went and ordered the naan, kimchi sourdough, spicy hand roll dip, heirloom tomato salad (only 1 I didn’t get picture of 🤦🏽‍♂️), chickpea fritters, green beans, goat belly, pork belly, goat curry, pork shank. And for dessert the mango sticky rice and sesame cookies and cream. The dishes that are an absolute must to order are the naan, heirloom tomato salad (best tomato dish I’ve ever had), chickpea fritters, green beans (unbelievable how tasty these are and could eat them every day), goat curry, pork shank. Almost every dish was excellent but these are the ones you will remember the most! The pork belly is very smoky tasting so if not a fan of that flavor wouldn’t recommend and the kimchi sourdough was very average. The desserts were ok but nothing I’d remember. The sesame cookies n crème was weird for me. Felt like I was eating sushi more than a dessert. Overall the meal is outstanding and definitely need to come with at least 4 people so can try all the different items. That’s what makes it so special. Service was outstanding again also! And the price is very reasonable!

We had such a great dining experience. The ambience was nice, the service was great and the food delicious! There was not one dish that we didn’t enjoy. We started off with grilled oysters and kimchi bread as appetizers but they went over a complementary naan for the long wait. All three were soooo good. For the main entree we got the beef noodles, crunchy chili lime chicken and the pork shank. They were all shareable plates and all sooo delicious. We were so stuffed by the time the pork shank came out but we still tried it and it didn’t disappoint. All the wait staff was beyond helpful and friendly.

Came here early with a reservation and our party of three was immediately seated. My only note about staff is they're always at the ready to bus the table which might give some diners a bit of anxiety. Other than that, they're very friendly and responsive. We ordered the kim chi sourdough, spicy handroll dip, chickpea fritters, grilled corn and roasted carrots to start. The entrees were pan roasted salmon, squash blossom crab rangoon and sticky glazed pork shank. We finished on the Thai Tea sundae and matcha tres leches. I would say the our meal leaned toward sweet overall, given the choices. Looking back, one of the best items was the kim chi sourdough. If you like the three cheese semolina bread from La Brea bakery, I think you'll really love this. It was probably the most savory item of the night. The pork shank was fall off the bone and the salmon was cooked perfectly. The thing I wish for the pork dish was that there was more acid. Adding lime wood give it a bit more punch along with the pickles. Of the two desserts, I'd say the Thai Tea sundae really surprised me. I want really sure how the chocolate would work with those flavors but it really have the dish a nice earthiness that complimented the flavors very well. If we return, I'd really look at other dishes that would lean more savory.

Beautifully creative flavors and fresh takes on familiar foods. Really enjoyed the surprises we experienced with the food pairings. Portions are designed to share. Heirloom Tomato dish was my fave! Bright, airy dining room with relatively friendly staff. Very homogenous clientele/staff that were not the most welcoming but that didn’t deter from our experience too much. Reservations required as it is a popular location. Paid garage parking nearby with elevator access.
