Needle - Silver Lake

The one quibble I had with my Siu Yeh (and if this was the one quibble, then I had a damn fine time overall) was that the ice should have been finer-grated here. The larger chunks of ice in my glass made for uneven melting, and threw off the overall balance of texture and tastes.

Are all of the tables and standing counters outside? Would you have been full if you didn’t do the supplements?

Yes, and yes.

The minced pork rice was OK - Anyways I think that for me, minced pork rice has always resided more squarely within the Macanese or Taiwan oeuvre, rather than Cantonese.

I love the almond jello and so got 2 of those. #EatYourFruitsAndAlmondsAndAgar

That works!

Bummer. Vertical bellies hold more food.

Snagged a table for Siu Yeh. Elite cooking + the nicest people.

Shrimps Chips

Jimmy Nardello Chili Peppers

Not spicy but bursting with flavor. :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes:

image

Octopus

Spiced with curry and incredibly tender. One of my favorite bites of the night. :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes:

image

Tomato, Cucumber, Sesame

A nice refreshing salad that was perfect for how hot the day had been. :roll_eyes:

image

Oyster Mushroom

Honestly, liked this better than Bavel’s mushroom kebab. The flavor was incredibly meaty—another great bite. :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes:

image

Chicken Thigh

Super juicy with crispy skin. An excellent chicken dish—one that makes me think twice—is a sign that I’m really feeling a restaurant’s cooking. :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes:

image

Wood Ear, Snow Fungus

Another saladish dish that took me back a bit. I typically don’t really like mushrooms much (or at least aren’t drawn to order them) but Chef Ryan has yet to make me one I didn’t like. :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes:

Supplement Minced Pork Rice Bowl

It’s a must order. You might only need one, but the rice is incredible. :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes:

image

Pork Meatball

Again, super juicy. Another favorite. :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes:

Zucchini

I can find it occasionally bland, but I really enjoyed it here with the allium condiment. :roll_eyes:

image

Pork Jowl

Hell yeah. :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes:

image

Pickles

Great for cutting the fatty meats.

Char Siu

Yeah, this is what I was here for. I wish that we could have ordered more a la carte. :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes:

Zabuton

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this, but then I was wondering why I don’t see this cut of steak more places? Another awesome bite. :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes:

Cherng Fun

Basically like a dessert? :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes:

Fruit

Actually a dessert. :roll_eyes:

Almond Jello

The ultimate tease. :roll_eyes: :infinity:

image

I’m torn a bit by the whole meal (which I loved). It was fantastic end to end, but I also would have liked to order multiples instead of a set menu. I know that the coursing makes it absolutely perfect in the cadence, but yeah I would have liked to just keep ordering more char siu :joy:
