This is a very trendy place and I don’t think they can get out of their way as they are too busy to operate properly sometimes. The food was good, creative and tasty dishes.
I may try and go on a slower day so I can attempt to improve this review.
We were informed that the menu rotates periodically, would love to revisit and can’t wait to see what innovative delicacy they will bring to the table next time!
The dish is an fascinating combination of a couple different things – Loco Moco, which is a hamburger patty with egg and white rice, and a Scotch Egg, which
is a boiled egg wrapped in ground beef, that’s then deep fried.
This leans more onto the Scotch Egg part of things, as it’s a fried & breaded ground beef ball with a soft-boiled egg in the middle, but the Loco Moco part of it is that it comes over rice and with gravy, and also mac salad
For me, the concept of this dish ended up being more interesting than the actual result
There were certainly some highlights. The egg was perfectly soft-boiled with a slightly runny yolk inside, the ground beef tasted quite good, and the mac salad was especially excellent – it had a certain spice to it that was delightful
The gravy was fine, but nothing special
The main issue was with the breading of the beef. It was really soggy, to the point that it just didn’t taste like anything except like a covering that was wet from the gravy. There wasn’t the slightest hint of crunch, or anything more than a damp blanket over the beef. Since the breading comprised a large portion of the volume of the meal, since there wasn’t much to like about it, this lowered the overall experience
Also, the rice was on the drier side. This got better after mixing with gravy, but it was not great at the start
We also got the fried cauliflower as an appetizer – and this was decent – the upper parts were a bit lacking in sauce, but the light breading worked wel here
The price was on the expensive side, as it was $40 per person. The portions are decent, but not overwhelming. I think there are cheaper spots all along Chinatown that work better if you’re looking for value
Overall, it’s an interesting concept, but there are some issues here that prevent it from being a spot I really enjoyed. 7/10
