Went here for my friends birthday,it's been in all the magazines and popping up all over the internet so we thought we would try it out. The reviews have been mixed so we were sceptical about how it would turn out. I guess it's always going to be difficult to bring a NYC restaurant over whose food is 'asian' when we already have so many local asian places around hong kong. We ordered some cocktails, i think we went through most of the cocktail list.Had a 'prison sex' because of course you're gon
it's been in all the magazines and popping up all over the internet so we thought we would try it out. The reviews have been mixed so we were sceptical about how it would turn out. I guess it's always going to be difficult to bring a NYC restaurant over whose food is 'asian' when we already have so many local asian places around hong kong.
We ordered some cocktails, i think we went through most of the cocktail list.
Had a 'prison sex' because of course you're gonna order a drink with that name, and my other friend had a 'fidelity' while the rest had beers. The prison sex was light, quite sweet, but i didnt read the ingredients list to the end! I dislike cava/champagne/sparkly wine stuff, so that didn't go down too well with me. I also had some of my friends Fidelity which i didn't like, tooooooo sweeeeeeet. We also tried the manhattan - WAY too strong, i dont know if it's supposed to be like that or if it was a one off, but that was hard for us to drink. We played a game to see who would finish that one off. The drug mule was DELISH, did it have ginger in it? I like anything with ginger in it (drinks wise anyway). Soul fizz (i think thats what its called) was delicious, just the right amount of sweetness, and didn't taste like alcohol, which is always a plus. Had some drinks with celery which were amazing, the taste was great. Also had the diablo, that was good too, but nothing special. We also had some pickle backs, two rounds. I was nervous to try at first cause a shot of bourbon followed by some sour stuff sounded like a bad idea, but it was ACTUALLY very good. Tasted very 'thai' and kinda like food.... weird but I would do it again.
We had lots of food, I might forget a few things
seafood platter - really good, the oysters were top notch, the razor clam a bit too salty
ceviche - really liked it, especially the crunchy salty bits, went well with the fish
papaya salad - good, not too spicy which was good as thai papaya salads make me cry a little
sliders - yummy, i liked the pickled cucumber, bit spicy but thankfully it didn't kick in until i had eaten the whole thing
oyster sliders - good
fish - TOO MANY BONES, very difficult to eat, but it was tasty
pork and watermelon x2- very good, still tryign to decide if i liked the sour watermelon, but the pork was tender and not too dry
ribs - bit dry, and very sweet. I got a smaller rib though so maybe thats why
duck - didn't like this dish, i found it too dry, and didnt manage to get any rice as everyone eats uber fast, but my friend enjoyed this
skipped dessert as we were extreeeeemely full. overalll it was good, and maybe it was because we ate loads that i found it pretty heavy. Nice every once in a while, i will definitely go back and maybe try a few of the other dishes.
Exceeded my expectations
