Ordering Strategy

Grab a pencil and mark up the paper menu; the cold appetizers and vegetable dishes are particularly strong, so order several to share.

What to order

Safe first

Cold Sesame Noodles

Described as 'the proverbial steel fist in the velvet glove,' these are slippery, nutty, and buttery with a building chilli heat that critics insist you 'have to order.'

Hungry

Red braised pork belly

A hearty, substantial dish featuring soft meat in a sauce 'heavy with caramel and soy' and aromatics like black star anise.

Wildcard

Typhoon shelter brussels sprouts

A creative vegetable dish that is 'lightly battered then heaped under deep-fried minced garlic' and chillies—not for the 'nervous granny.'

Wildcard

Seven Spice Slush

An unexpected hit, this Shichimi Togarashi infused yuzu sake slushee was ranked by Hot Dinners as one of their 'best drinks of the year.'

Good to know

The atmosphere is loud with UV lights and disco balls—better for a lively night out than a quiet conversation.
