mackerel tin, bing
This was pretty much quality canned mackerel with the addition of chives and garlic, good but not something i would order again
(new)grilled kanpachi collar, sunflower hozon, pickled rhubarb
Damn, this was the highlight of the night. The best prep of kanpachi collar i’ve had in a long time. Perfectly cooked and balanced flavors, crispy skin, and the meat was moist and softer than a sneaker full of shit. Thanks for the rec @DTLAeater
cherry tomatoes, tofu, shiso, yuzu
(new)fried oxtail, salsa seca, peanuts, chili
same dish as the fried butterball potatoes but the potatoes are replaced with fried oxtails. i preferred the potatoes.
marinated black cod, hozon, bok choy, daikon
more soft, buttery, flaky fish.
Imo this is the sleeper dish here, makes Nomad’s chicken look like a joke. It came with a chicken salad and chicken broth with morels and fava beans.
I also ordered two bings, snap peas, and pickled onion rings.
agreed! the boiled chicken is so good. i prefer the chicken soup with the hand torn noodles and the morels more than the "Hainan " chicken dish. But overall a great menu item. i would order again.
The new version is pretty damn good. The broth at the end is utter perfection. I wish I had a bucket of it to bathe myself in. The salad is no joke either, chicken jus dressing. drool.
Another two dishes that popped up that were really good. They had a cold green bean prep that was tasty. The new heirloom tomato dish that took over the tofu/cherry tomato is awesome. Thai basil, stone fruit (plum/beach), tossed with the tomatoes. Perfect summer dish.
Didn’t love the market lettuce dish. Basically lettuce, grated cheese with a light dressing.
bounty bowl, green goddess, domojang
Really liked the domojamg dipping sauce, reminded me of a less spicy XO sauce.
heirloom tomatoes, plums, sesame, thao’s basils
New dish with sweet plums replacing the tofu, summer in a bowl.
boiled whole chicken, soft boiled egg, chicken skin vinaigrette, ginger-scallion rice
They changed this up for summer, instead of using the dark meat for a delicous soup with hand torn noodles and truffles/morels, they now use it in a plain, underwhelming, salad.
The rice is still good, but I won’t be ordering this again until they bring the soup back.
