• SALTED SPICE FISH!

We arrived at exactly 11am on a Friday and they were open and ready to serve. The place is small (not too small), charming, and very warm (the aura, not the room temperature). I'm a booth girl (love me a booth) and I totally love their cute little booth spaces. We ordered at the counter and the employee brought our drinks and meals to the table. I ordered the Spiced Salt Fish and the Tom Yam Fish (minus cucumbers). Both dishes came with your choice of white or brown rice. The Tom Yam dish was very tasty. It's a saucy dish, with a nice little spicy kick to it. That SPICED SALT FISH though! My, my, my, mymymymy... I'm one of those people who typically add salt, pepper, sauces, etc to my dishes to give them more flavor. Not this dish. It was absolutely flawless just the way it came. (I almost asked my dish if it woke up like this!) The vegan fish was so perfectly fried in a light, yet very crispy batter, and seasoned beyond perfection. The jalapeños and garnishes were equally savory, creating an essential winning combination. I was blown away by the excellence. (Keep in mind, I LOVE salty foods. If you have high-blood pressure or any issues with salt, this is not the dish for you.) It's a dry dish, so I didn't really need the accompanying rice, but I ate it simply to prolong the joyful experience. The employees were very nice and attentive. My water cup remained full and she brought us to go boxes when she saw us, in all of our gluttony, getting lethargic. The employees that day got an extra gold star for patience. There was a patron sitting behind us who was very...challenging. He refused to order at the counter like everyone else and his God-like complex was truly baffling (and annoying). So KUDOS to them for remaining professional, calm, and genuinely nice throughout his charade. Excellent food. Good portions for a fair price. I am slightly concerned that their location won't yield the business that it deserves, but hopefully, word of mouth will not only keep them afloat, but allow them to expand. Be sure to specify if you are vegan as they are not 100% vegan (however, non-vegan items are 100% vegetarian).
