I work near this newly opened restaurant, and passing by all the time, I have been wanting to try it out. We went with a couple of girl friends on a Friday night, and although they were full when we arrived around 8pm, we only had to wait for a short while before they got us a table in the middle of the dining room.The atmosphere is quite trendy and dark. There is music playing and it's a buzzing restaurant. We were craving meat haha! And the servers recommended for us to try the bbq pork and th

We were craving meat haha! And the servers recommended for us to try the bbq pork and the wagyu short ribs. We ordered those and added a couple things to start.
First thing that came was the raw hamachi salad. The sauce is citrusy and the fish tastes fresh. Quite refreshing, and I loved the "puffed buckwheat" on top which gives it a nice crunch.
Next dish was the fried chicken mid wings, and they are served with a sambal sauce. Really aromatic and flavourful. I overloaded my one wing with lots of lime juice.
Third thing is called Mom’s “mostly cabbage, a little bit of pork” dumplings. They are really well done, actually. I love cabbage in dumplings and this is just my favourite! I always find that cabbage makes dumplings have a "sweeter" taste and this one still has the texture from the veggetable, not mushy, can totally tell it's made fresh. This was my fav so far.
Pork belly salad. The first real meat dish of the meal. My friends loved this one for the sauce as well.
This was the fried cauliflower and brussel sprouts, and they used a sweet bacon "chili jam". Chili jam is an Aussie thing, and I've had it over kangaroo at barbecues before, but I've never imagined it being used for a stir fry!
The char siu, as recommended by the waitress. Surprisingly nothing crazy or fancy here. Just good, old fashioned char siu with really good pork. It was tender and lean enough for my taste. You can apparently choose for it to be more charred. I might try it next time
The final item - and the reason why I ate waaaayyyy too much white rice, was the roasted wagyu short ribs. When I first looked at it I thought I didn't look very asian at all, sliced up like that, but the taste has that really good charred "hung siu" flavour! It's so tender, and great with the shallot kimchi (you MUST eat it with the kimchi).
For dessert we had this green apple & calpis granita, which is sort of like Taiwanese shaved ice. We also had the green tea sponge cake with hazelnut ganache, which was really rich and delicious! Unfortunately did not grab the camera in time before it was devoured by my gluttonous friends Will definitely come back. This is a good place to drink and enjoy a long meal, chatting with friends. They take reservations for bigger groups only so it's good for weekend nights, sipping sake and munching on wagyu ribs.
