• Decent Meal

I visited Roots while in Louisville on business. I was by myself and as the menu is made up of small plates suitable for sharing, it would probably better to go with other people. Many of the dishes sounded interesting, ones I have not seen on standard Asian/ Asian fusion menus. I tried the braised beets, and steamed banana leaf with tofu, veggie ham, and vegetables. The braised beets turned out to be a soup with beets, potatoes, and spinach, in a spicy curry broth. It was not what I expected, but pretty good. I enjoyed the banana leaf dish, although the filling was mostly rice, with very small bits of tofu, veggies, and I assume veggie ham, although I was never really sure what was tofu and what was veggie ham. It was served with some pickled vegetables and a dipping sauce with was nice and flavorful. All and all my meal was good but not great. The service was a bit lacking and nothing blew me away. That being said, there were several other menu items that sounded good (such as the crepes with mushrooms), so I will probably check it out again the next time I'm in Louisville.
