I need a second chance with this place. The potential is SO there. You just HAVE to order the right item. Trial & error you could say.
I read the reviews, looked at pics, had convo about what to decide on at the table with my peers - my drink selection, Sake To Me, great choice. Closest thing to lychee sake that I could get. Sweet, refreshing and bright. Appetizer and entree? Both missing that some-thing!
Started with the Smashed Cucumber. Right away, cilantro overload. The starter needed some acidity, some salt. Loved how fresh and crisp the cucumbers were, appreciated that. I ended up dousing the cucumbers with the sauce that came with the potstickers. Perfection. That fast. Killed them. Next time, I'll go with the potstickers.
My entree - The Crack Chicken. I mean it has the word "crack" in it lol. It was either that or the Dan Dan Noodles. Which I will be getting next time. Honestly, the chicken just didn't do it for me. Subpar, tasted more like salt & pepper chicken. Nothing special. The fried rice that came with it was pretty good, but the dish honestly was average. The rave at the table was the noodles. Every person that got a noodle dish, they loved it and the Orange Chicken was a hit as well.
So yeah, I'll be back, because I want to really like this place. A lot. I believe in second chances!
