Oklahoman here, and this place is truly amazing -- I have high standards for food, as I am a decent cook myself, and this place made me feel inspired and motivated to try more variations in ways of preparing meat with various flavor profiles.
To start off, the service of this place is wonderful -- staff is nice and accommodating, and they double check your orders or drinks before refilling, which is really reassuring and comforting.
The inside of this place was also simply beautiful. It wasn't too bougie where you felt uncomfortable nor was it too simplistic where it wasn't impressionable or memorable -- it really complimented to feel of the place well
Now it's time to get into the real reason why you're here: the food here is amazing -- from starters to entrees, there's not much to complain about and each flavor profile was unique.
To be more specific, the tiger shrimp's breading was seasoned perfectly, as it wasn't too plain and could be enjoyed without the complimentary sauce.
The bao buns lacked some flavor and texture, but it was still enjoyable nonetheless.
The flatbread is where the most mixed opinions rise, as the taste is rather heavy with the aioli, and rich with the vinegar, but I quite enjoyed it.
As for the main course, the beef tenderloin, I can confidently say that it is the best steak I've had in my lifetime -- it is not a plain or simple cook with rosemary and butter, so it may not be appealing to many; but for me, the cherries and sweetness went so well with the steak that I'm going to start implementing that into my own cooking.
However, all good things must come to an end, as the brussels sprouts were bitter and not up to par with the rest of the dish -- of course, it paired well with the cherry sauce, but the bitterness was too strong without it.
If I did not live 10-12 hours away from this establishment, then I would definitely come back again, as it was quite literally life-changing. Come here if you enjoy the more complex flavor profiles in food, but if you prefer a more simple and plain one, then you might not enjoy this as much.
