I went with a friend and we decided to share a few small plates -- every single one was delicious and beautifully presented.
We started with Beef Masala Skewer -- yogurt-marinated beef with a Masala spice blend. The two skewers were perfectly seasoned and cooked -- so tender I could cut them with a fork. The flavor was rich, savory, and deeply satisfying.
For our vegetable dish, we ordered the Stir-Fried Snap Peas with roasted garlic. The snap peas were crisp and perfectly cooked, and the garlic added just the right amount of depth. The portion was generous, too!
We also tried the Chicken Karaage, sake-marinated fried chicken served with spicy Kewpie mayo. This classic Japanese dish didn't disappoint -- crispy, flavorful, and comforting.
And last but not least, the the Salmon Poke Tower -- fresh salmon, sesame, avocado, mango, and cilantro. The salmon was melt-in-your-mouth fresh, and the flavors of mango, sesame, and the sauce came together perfectly. This might have been my favorite dish of the night!
It all made for the perfect amount of food for two people. We drank some decaf green tea and enjoyed every moment of the experience.
The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was amazing -- cozy, beautifully designed, and it really reminded me of Japan. The outdoor area is gorgeous and perfectly manicured; I can't wait to come back in the summer to enjoy it.
Old Asia is an absolute gem -- thoughtful dishes, incredible flavors, and such a warm, inviting space. I'll definitely be back!
