Been a regular here for the past year so I've had the opportunity to watch this place grow. Started off with real consistency and quality, and despite the severely trimmed down menu that was introduced at the start of the year, I still returned for the pork and beef bowls, albeit less frequently.
As with most newly successful small businesses, I began to see corners being cut and the quality of food gradually dropping. The final straw was the last 2 visits where my regular pork cheek bowls were made of mainly fatty bits of pork, with the fat barely rendered. Despite my feedback, I was given excuses that the pork cheeks were meant to contain mainly fat and therefore I was served a properly prepared dish. I might've accepted that but the fact that it didn't used to be like that for the good part of the year I ate there made me wonder if they've begun to trim less of the fat away to bulk up the smaller portions of meat.
I returned at the promise of new dishes, which never appeared. I returned when I was given the occasional poorly prepared serving of beef or pork, usually on a busy weekend prepped by a part time chef. I returned even after having had a poorly rendered serving of pork that had to be re-fired. But I'm not going to return after facing a multitude of poor excuses that this is the way their supplier sends their pork orders, told that my idea of a leaner pork cheek was not right and owner Jeremy not even taking the time to see what was wrong with his regular's order despite having full view of my discussion with his cashier.
Kinda sad that this promising youthful business let its success get to its head.
