So the amount of numbing / tingling was also fine? If you only stated âLevel 4â to the server, they mightâve just given you âLevel 4 / 4â for both Numbing & Spiciness.
And yah, next visit for us would also be after this heat wave.
uh⌠i go back and forth between not wanting to be challenged by spicy foods to craving it⌠i think i like it when places (like thai) donât make it a theme
Went today at 1145 and it was mostly full but no wait. Had the Tokyo dry L3. Iâll preface this by saying that iâm not the biggest fan of the camphor/metallic flavor of szechuan peppercorns although that doesnât stop me eating food with it.
I really liked it although I didnât think it was a Howling L3 hot I would go 3/4 next time or 2/4 the numbing was really noticeable in the dry (havenât had the wet so canât compare.)
Itâs been a few months since Iâve been to Beni-tora but my memory is that there dan dan was pretty good. Now I am curious to go back and see which I prefer (and get some more gyoza)
Thanks @aaqjr. I think the dry would be more noticeable (for the numbing and spices), thanks for the comparison. The normal soup version probably helps to even out the flavors a bit and make it less overwhelming (especially if one accidentally didnât mix the ingredients well enough and had a burst of sansho or the chilies).
My problem with choose-your-spiciness-number options is that to make mildly, moderately, very, and extremely spicy delicious you should use a different chile or mix of chiles.
Typically the spiciest level has too much of a chile or mix thatâs not tasty past a medium-high level, resulting in dish thatâs too bitter or in which the flavors are unbalanced towards the fruitiness of the chiles. Instead of being delicious itâs just a stupid thing for nitwits to eat as a stunt.
Pro Tip: You can park in the Hide Sushi parking lot and Killer Noodle will validate for parking.
However, the amount of time the validation coversâI canât remember now if itâs 1 hour or 90 minutesâmay not be enough considering the line. I suggested to the staff to either negotiate a longer parking timespan covered by validation, or validation could cover a portion of the parking cost (I believe now itâs all or nothing).
Caveat: This information was obtained during their opening weekend. Anyone whoâs been there more recently and can confirm or clarify any of the above?
Perhaps the two most interesting phrases ever thrown together here.
I do agree w/ @robert that super spicy sometimes seems very one-note to me (which is why I love the crab curry at Luv2Eat, even though I can barely tolerate the heat).
Tried to go yesterday at 2 - it was closed.
