Sister restaurant to the excellent Halisco and very close by, doing bao buns and small plates with cocktails. Cocktails to be fair were very good – a fantastic thyme infused dirty martini and a Hibiscus Whiskus (prosecco and ginger and gin). Food a little mixed. Very nice corn ribs with miso butter, spam fritters and gochujang ketchup also delicious. Korean fried chicken a let down – nice, but really more like a general tasty chicken dish than fried chicken. Bao buns pretty ok but meat chewy. Dessert super amazing – deep fried pistachio bao bun with gochujang caramel which really works. As is often the case with these, if it wasn’t Brighton I’d probably be more keen, but we are awash with this sort of food, so my verdict is based on: I had a nice time, but not bothered about going back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verdict: Ok<\/p>\n\n\n\n
