"A recently updated spring menu includes a molten lava tofu that arrives "very, very hot," with a crispy, mala spice-dusted coating that gives way to tender, steamy tofu; the requirement to let it cool helps pace the diner. A Thai basil mojo on the side adds a cooling layer of flavor. The dish is recommended as an ideal bar snack—especially when paired with a frozen tropical drink and furikake-topped fries. Bettina Makalintal, senior reporter, praises the textural contrast and the balance of spice and cooling elements." - Eater Staff
