Back! This time for some dinner apps - Soft Shell Crab Bao and Kaliubon Wings. The wings had a crispy exterior, which was especially impressive because I was late picking up my takeout. They had a sweet Asian glaze, sesame seeds and thin sliced green onions. Awesome taste and execution!
Soft Shell Crab can be polarizing, but I thought Kaliubon did a great job with these bao. The bao themselves were perfect. The soft shell crab coating was nice and crispy. The sauce was very tasty. Still 5 Stars for Kaliubon.
And if I can go tangent for a second, it's time to acknowledge the 1 mile-ish long stretch on the Silas Deane, between Angry Tofu and Kob Jai, that also includes Utsav, Ginza and Kaliubon. Mile for mile, it may be the best collection of Asian Restaurants in the State. They each have 4.5 Yelp Stars with a sample size of hundreds of reviews. Among them, they cover at a high level a variety of Korean, Indian, Japanese, Thai and Vietnamese foods including sushi, ramen, hibachi, pho, Thai curries, Thai noodle and rice dishes, Thai stir fries, Thai soups, Indian tandoor dishes, Indian rice and noodle dishes, a variety of Indian chicken, lamb, seafood and vegetarian dishes, Korean tofu soups, Galbi, Bulgogi and Korean noodle, rice and stir fry dishes.
Five legit 4.5 Star Asian Restaurants in about one straight line mile. The "SILAS DEANE 5"!!!!!! Spread the word. It's a thing!
