What makes the dishes here special are all the sauces. Every dish was flavored nicely, although not all of the dishes were cooked as well as I had hoped.
Avocado -- the greens vinaigrette and yuzu sour creme were delicious, and the pickled radish paired with the sauces added a nice, tart taste that was balanced out by the creaminess of the avocado. That said, I'm not sure it was worth $9 for half an avocado with some sauce, however delicious it was.
Crispy Chicken -- the black sesame crumble and sweet and spicy sauce were great, but the chicken itself was a bit overcooked and dry.
Chicharoon -- this was a winner; the meat was tender with a great crisp on the skin.
Soft shell crab -- sadly, this was the weakest link and was overly battered and overly fried. The wasabi remoulade was good though.
Kimchi paella -- this was more like risotta than paella, but it was deliciously creamy.
Drinks -- the "it" thing here seems to be the Capri-Thursdays, which are essentially flavored soju drinks that come in huge plastic bags the shape of Capri Suns...served with crazy bright LED ice cubes that scream "party." We tried the Lychee Reach Rich, which was pretty good.
Service -- everyone was super friendly and helpful with giving recommendations, explaining the dishes, and checking to see if we were happy. That said, the food came out extremely slowly for us, for some reason (the table next to us ordered after us and were done with dessert before we were done with our second dish). The food was also served in a somewhat weird order. The first dish we got was the kimchi paella, followed by the avocado, and then someone asked if we were still waiting on food.
