$$$$ • Asian • The Gulch & North Gulch
It’s a testament to our server Miguel that he didn’t bat an eye at my almost animalistic behavior while consuming everything set in front of me. I’m fairly sure I interrupted his speech as he told us about the menu so I could order what I had my heart set on within the first minute of reading the menu. We started with the miso ginger salad, miso soup, lumpia, Korean fried chicken, and boa buns. Wait to judge me. There’s more and yes this was for 2 people. Five stars for all the dishes but out of all of these, the pork belly boa bun and fried chicken were the best. The salad was also phenomenal - eat your greens! I then required intermission to digest what most would say was a full meal twice over, but that was the warm up. I had a delicious lemon drop martini to cleanse the pallet before ringing the bell for round two. We ordered the baked crab hand roll, which initially made me question my ability to make life altering food decisions. I shouldn’t have worried because the subtlety with which the creamy crab and rice mixture almost melts in your mouth should not be underestimated. We followed this delightful second round with a melt in your mouth, make a priest want to sin Adobo pork belly fried rice creation that would make angels weep.
So…my short answer is yes, everyone should detour here and experience a little bit of heaven.
