I made a reservation through TableCheck and visited for lunch.▪️ Button shrimp marinated in Shaoxing wine▪️ Kato pork with summer vegetables in chili oil sauceThe chili oil sauce starts off spicy and then turns sweet. The okra, edamame, and kombu kelp were delicious.▪️ Corn soupA very sweet corn combined with clear broth. Underneath the soup, there was corn chawanmushi (savory egg custard).▪️ Fish with sweet and sour sauceThe fish was flounder, garnished with finely chopped herbs. It was coated in a sweet and sour sauce, but the batter was crispy. The light batter paired perfectly with the fluffy flounder, making this dish the highlight of the day.▪️ Mapo eggplant keema curryMapo eggplant transformed into a keema curry. Personally, I eat curry often, so I would have preferred the regular mapo.▪️ Chilled soba with chickenThe noodles were extremely thin. The topping was very tender steamed chicken thigh. The dipping sauce had a refreshing lemon flavor, complemented by herbs like dill and mint, making it light overall.▪️ Mango puddingTopped with coconut espuma and passion fruit sauce, with chunks of mango inside. The sweetness was just right.Although there has been a price increase since my last visit, the high quality of each dish and the attentive service, such as refilling hot tea, made for a satisfying lunch experience. I still feel it's a great value.Total stay: 70 minutes.
