I was going to try the citrus hibiscus orange soda but they were out of that one today.
Inside is small and very plain.
They have three outside tables so we sat at one of them since it was still nice outside.
We started out with brisket egg rolls.
The brisket egg roll was fresh fried to order. It came out light and crispy with a side of sweet and sour sauce. They also offered us chili sauce and really tasty Chinese mustard. I didn’t get a true taste of the Asian BBQ Brisket here that I thought I would. I know that because it isn’t on the menu but they suggested for my husband to get a sampler plate and the brisket there was from a tastier batch.
He got all kinds of Asian BBQ. char siu chicken, char siu pork, roast pork, pork belly, Asian bbq brisket, vegetable of the day (green beans, mushrooms, onions), and rice. His favorites were the pork dishes.
I got the char siu chicken.
They served me white meat chicken that was very tender and developed with Asian flavors and it was drizzled with a brown sweet sauce that taste similar to hoisin sauce. The meat was studded with today’s vegetable (green beans, mushrooms, onions) and came with a big portion of white rice. This lunch plate is very large and for me this is two meals (and I’m not the smallest eater) but for some people it’s just one meal.
When I ordered I didn’t know that they also had this dish prepared more Asian bbq style with dark meat chicken. They told me so far most of their customers don’t eat dark meat chicken. They assumed that I didn’t eat dark meat chicken so I wasn’t asked when I ordered. Near the end of my meal they did offer to give me a plate of dark meat chicken…That was terribly nice but I declined only because I had way more food that I can eat still left.
We recommend the bbq pork dishes and to ask if they have the dark meat char siu chicken.
