I never knew this spot opened until I passed by one night. So we decided to try it out tonight since we were craving Chinese. Parking is small for the Thorndike Exchange, considering there's them and a cafe as well, which we want to try in the morning.
When we walked it, it was packed and it was like 7PM. We decided to sit at the sushi bar, which was not bad. The servers are always making sure you've been helped, love that.
We decided to order beef chow foon, fried calamari, and the torched salmon wrap. Because we were at the sushi bar, the torched salmon wrap came out first in like 5 mins, maybe 3. This is my first time trying actual restaurant sushi after avoiding it for 10 years, because Market Basket sushi scarred me. And I was very surprised at the taste and texture. The taste was sweet, tangy, and a little spicy. I liked the crab pieces in the middle. Each piece was like bigger than a jumbo marshmallow, so I could only eat one piece. Safe to say, I think I might start opening my palate to sushi now.
The calamari, compared to my favorite China Star, was not crispy at all. The flavor, I could only taste the spice and not the salt. It was alright, but I finished it because it was still good.
The chow fun is not as flavorful as khmer meekathung, but it definitely has more flavor than Wah Sang's. And I like that the noodles are coated with a bit of oil so it's not so stuck to each other.
Over all, I think this place is ok to sip and nibble and chat with your friends at night.
