Quotes

"(Parboiled scallop) Just parboiled scallop, served with toasted butter, horseradish yogurt, jalapeño gazpacho, and kaffir lime. The sauce is bloody good. There is some heat in it, with the strong flavor of the jalapeño, and acidity of course. The whole dish is crazy good."
"(Pig's ear) Pig's ear, served with strawberry hoisin, aioli, and pickle slices. The dish is a classic, but the plating is extraordinary. Just like the flavors."
"(Champagne & first course) Super sharp acidity. Amazing qualities."
"These flavors are fantastic. It is still street food style, but the ideas behind it are on a very high level. This is what fun in a restaurant should look like. It has everything people love in a restaurant. Great food, good service, creativity, atmosphere, and real energy."
