Solid 4-stars from me after I finally got my butt down to Low Key today for lunch. Sadly, I had to miss my own UYE there a little while back, but by all accounts, a fine time was had by those who did get there. *phew*
Today, three of us ordered the bamboo smoked salmon and rice, the beef ribs (with Kimchee) and the fried tofu and okra. The reason I was so impressed was the sheer effort in to creating the flavours of each of the dishes. I would struggle to do that myself at home [and I'm not too shabby in the kitchen, even if I say so myself. Figjam, baby!]. It's that alone that impresses me at a food joint: their ability to produce exceptional flavours that I would find hard to replicate. The sauce with the ribs? Glory be, but it was sensational.
But they also score big points for attentive and pleasant service. Another thing I really thought quite unique was their provision of 'Asian Fusion'. It's not, as often found, one Asian culture that has been Anglicised / Aussified with whatever is trendy in the food world at the moment (eg: a Thai curry with pumpkin). There wasn't a grain of quinoa or a square of beetroot to be seen anywhere! No, this is a true blend of Asian cultures, each true to themselves, in the variety of dishes available on the menu. For me, they were exceptional. I can't think of a place that is doing this, as proficiently, in Perth at present.
Fully licensed, there is no BYO. We didn't have a tipple on this occasion, so I can't comment on the wine list quality. But I'll be able to tell you the next time I go. It will be soon.
