"This California import has a contemporary feel and a welcoming staff that’s impressively attentive and helpful even when meeting the demands of a full dining room. The meats and other ingredients are high quality, with cooking executed well both in the kitchen and at the table. The menu is safe enough, especially with its meat combination platters, to not scare off the suburban Lynnwood crowd (the restaurant is located at Alderwood Mall), with some items (like small and large intestines) available for those who dare try them. The mountain tripe fried rice is an excellent starter, bursting with flavor." - Meg van Huygen, Jay Friedman, Eater Staff
