I found this place on one of Yelp's top restaurants list and honestly the bunnies sold me. I made a reservation day-of through Yelp and it was pretty simple. The area looked really sketchy and the parking lot only had about 5 spots? It was dark, the lot looked a little dirty and there was a hobo sitting right outside; that's how sketch it looked. When I entered at Sunday 7:30pm, there was NO ONE. I had the whole place to myself :) private dining. The inside looked fancy and well lit. We were seated by the wall and the greeter/waiter was very polite. He checked in frequently and answered all my weird questions. Menu on QR code. We got the $65pp 9 course meal with a Korean Fried Chicken substitute which was an extra $3 to sub 1 of the fried chickens, and a Ube Lemonade. Let's break down the courses.. Ube Lemonade $15 - Honestly this should have been like $12-13 considering there was no alcohol in it and it was like in a tall 8oz(?) glass with a lot of ice. This was a tasty drink to get and it's different. Because I wasn't offered a straw, I had no idea that all the Ube was at the bottom so initially I only tasted lemonade. I would suggest to get a straw so you can mix it, it'll taste much better. Hamachi & Fake Crab Salad Cannoli - This was the first plate offered and it was the best. The cannoli was perfectly crispy and all the flavors worked really well. I also really like imitation crab meat so I could've easily ate 3 of these. Hamachi Sashimi Crudo, Miso Sesame Vin, Aioli, Orange, Shishito - This was also a really good dish. The hamachi was fresh and went perfectly with the sauces. I don't normally eat raw fish but this is definitely something I would get again. Thai Beef Larb Salad, Thai Aioli, Puffed Rice - I personally didn't fancy this dish because it looked so basic but it had decent taste. Crunchy and refreshing salad. My partner liked it. Buttermilk Fried Chicken, Tzatziki, Cilantro and Korean fried chicken sub +$3 - They were bringing back the Korean fried chicken and offered to sub one of our plates for an extra $3 so I was able to try both flavors. I love KFC so definitely I'm going for it. Personally, I think it was a good choice to sub but not happy that I had to pay an extra $3. I really liked the sauces and I would suggest getting it. Both chickens were fried nicely. I'm not a huge fan of the Indian flavors on the original chicken plate. This was Indian curry and I don't think it worked well with the fried chicken. Grilled Kalbi Pork Belly Ssam, Gochujang, Pickles - Slightly sweet and spicy and this was tasty. It was pretty thin and I'm curious how many slices they give for 1 person because we had an odd number of slices... I didn't particularly like the pickled vegetables because it was sour but my partner did. Shrimp & Calamari Seafood Pancake, Glaze - This tasted like your usual pancake, nothing special. It felt like there was a lot of batter. Also it's weird that they cut you a corner like what did you do with the other half of the pancake? Prob should just do small circle batches but maybe presentation? Hot Rice Shooters, Sesame, Scallion: foie gras and wagyu - This was the most basic white rice + meat dish. It feels a little bit scammish and I think they can elevate this by adding another element so it's not so plain feeling. The wagyu and foie gras were fine but we thought it was a little overcooked because it tasted extra charred like close to burnt. Brown Butter-Bunny-Butter Mochi - This was my absolute favorite and so glad I brought myself here for this. The plating was cute and thoughtout. It tasted soooo gooood. The bunnies were chewy and the crumbs were so good. The little sauce tied it all together very nicely. Do yourself a favor and order this if you aren't doing the 9 course. A-5 Salted Wagyu Fat Caramels - This was a unique candy at the end of the meal. Basically your wagyu juices mixed into a caramel. Though it was special, I don't find myself drooling over it. They could work on the presentation though because it's just weird they tossed the 2 candy wrappers on a plate lol. I thought it was a great experience and the waiter was awesome. It came out to almost $100 per person post tax tip and 3% CC surcharge fyi. I get they're trying to be upscale but is that 3% to use credit card super necessary? I would come back to either order the stuff I liked separately or when they changed the set menu.
