I ordered the buddha bowl ($9.50+3.50) and friend got the spicy peanut noodle box ($10.50+3.50). The extra $3.50 is for the cha sui pork that we added to our bowl.
When I saw my bowl, I thought it was really nicely presented but I also saw all raw veggie! Most were not what I like to eat... I gave the parsley to friend. I normally don't eat red pepper but I ate them all, all raw too! But it didn't have that super strong red pepper taste to me which I was surprised. I'm so glad they have this sauce for me to mix my veggies in or else I don't think I can eat this bowl alone. It would be overly dry and just ew.
And I don't understand why they don't cook the bean sprouts!? They were raw! You know you can get sick from raw bean sprouts? And you know how nasty raw bean sprouts taste? That taste lingers in your mouth for so long.
Anyways, the cha sui was very different compared to the normal Chinese ones. It had a tangy sauce on it. It was unique, well flavoured and good. The pork was a bit hard to chew but ok. Without this meat I think I would be very sad during the whole meal...
The sauce that came with my bowl had a tangy and spicy flavour to it. I thought a bit salty on it's own but very good with the whole bowl. It's almost like a poke.
I tried a bit of the noodle, it tasted nice. I wonder if they used the same sauce for every bowl? It had a tangy curry ish taste to it. I couldn't taste the spiciness just with one strand. The noodle was nice. I think I would prefer that bowl compared to mine.
Overly, not bad but I prefer cooked veggie as an Asian. I thought they are trying to be an Asian restaurant? You have to learn how Asians eat. There were more Caucasians than Asians that came in for food. Most likely won't go again.
