    Went out for dinner and tried a few dishes, overall solid experience. The food came out super fast and our server was so sweet, which made everything better. The Kanpachi Crudo was the standout for me. It was super fresh and well-balanced, and the sauce it was sitting in was honestly unreal. The orange, radish and olives gave it the perfect bite and crunch. Such a light, beautiful addition to the meal. The Lotus Chips came in second for me - crispy, lightly glazed, and lowkey addictive. They had that perfect sweet-spicy thing going on without being greasy. I could’ve easily eaten a whole bowl to myself. The Crying Tiger Steak was good, just not amazing. The flavor was there and it was cooked alright, but it didn’t wow me. The dipping sauce definitely made it amazing though. The Brussels Sprouts were probably my least favorite. Not bad, but a bit too saucy for my taste. Some of the pieces still had a good crisp, and the chickpeas were fun, but the sauce kind of overpowered everything.
