THE LEAD VERDICT
“their nashville hot chicken sandwich actually brings real heat - not quite princes level but they get the cayenne-paprika blend and dont hold back on the oil”
“the pickles were obviously just from a jar and not properly brined - too sweet and no sharp acidic bite to cut through all the spice and richness”
ALSO FILED
“honestly surprised their Asian fusion dishes are thoughtfully done not just trendy for trendy sake. the Korean beef tacos have authentic gochujang flavors balanced with fresh cilantro and pickled vegetables”
“the Asian slaw side is literally just regular coleslaw with sesame oil drizzled on it. ok so lazy fusion dont call it Asian if youre not gonna actually commit to it”
“actually solid late night spot that actually serves decent food past 10pm. thier chicken and waffles hit different after gonna out and the bar stays lively without being obnoxiously loud trust me”
“the wait for a table on weekends is INSANE - we were standing around the bar for like an hour even wiht a reservation they clearly overbook their friday slots lol”
“actually the downtown location has THIS awesome urban energy with those floor to ceiling windows overlooking 7th Avenue. modern industrial decor with warm wood stuff makes it feel sophisticated but not stuffy works for business lunches or dates no joke”
“the acoustics are terrible when its busy - all hard surfaces adn high ceilings so conversations get really difficult during peak hours. we were basically leaning across the table to hear each other”
“honestly downtown location has tehse massive floor to ceiling windows that flood it with natural light during the day. industrial chic design with exposed ductwork feels fresh and modern without being cold wow”
“the music is way too loud for having conversations. feels like theyre trying too hard to pump up the energy when the space would be better with something more chill that lets people actually talk”
“their pan asian lettuce wraps are surprisingly decent for a chain restaurant - hoisin sauce has real depth and they dont go overboard with sweetness like most chains do”
“thiier asian salad was just iceberg lettuce with crispy noodles and bottled sesame dressing lazy af honestly shows they dont really understand asian flavors beyond the surface”
“literally the teriyaki salmoon bowl was done right - perfectly flaked fish wiht a glaze that wasnt overly sweet on properly seasoned sushi rice with crisp vegetables”
“teh miso soup was watery adn had no depth to it. felt like an afterthought honestly”
“for real tehir flat white is surprisingly good for a chain - properly steamed milk with good foam and a double shot that actually has character instead of that typical corporate coffee taste lol”
“only one barista during my afternoon visit so teh coffee took forever even tho it wasnt even busy. gotta SAY chain efficiency wihtout the actual efficiency lol”
