4.5 stars: A casual restaurant where you can sit anywhere and order at the counter, though they do also take reservations. The dishes are a unique and creative take on Latin American-Asian fusion, and the portion sizes are big and worth the price.
For appetizers, we tried:
- Duck Quesadilla: A really unique dish packed with bursting flavors and unique textures. The duck was cooked tenderly and seasoned nicely; it paired well with the warm cheese and other traditional quesedilla ingredients.
- Pork Belly Bao Buns: You get a choice of protein here, but the staff noted that pork belly is by far their most popular one. This app fell a little short of my expectations, but it was still quite good. The pork was cooked well-- very tender and generously sauced. The bun was soft. It was a bit hard to consume while retaining shape and not falling apart.
For the entree, I ordered the Duck Ramen, which was really fantastic! The price seemed a little steep initially, but for the amount of food provided, it's more than fair. This was a hefty bowl packed with many unique and eclectic ingredients including a fried boiled egg (super unique and delicious), veggies, kimchi, various cuts of duck, etc. The duck was tender and flavorful, the broth was rich and bold, and the noodles were not overcooked. Really nothing to complain about here; by the end, I was really struggling to finish because it was truly a lot of food!
The food came out at a reasonable speed and the staff were friendly. The spot is also easy to find and has a free parking lot.
