Korean Fire-Roasted Chicken: Embark on a culinary adventure with our Korean Fire-Roasted Chicken, inspired by the bold and dynamic flavors of Korean cuisine. Tender fire-roasted dark meat chicken, marinated in an authentic bulgogi sauce, takes center stage. Paired with a side of sesame spinach, reminiscent of traditional Korean banchan, this dish offers a truly authentic dining experience.
Vegetable Bibimbap: Indulge in the satisfying medley of flavors and textures with our Vegetable Bibimbap. Meaning "mixed rice" in Korean, this dish features an authentic fermented chili paste known as Gochujang, delightfully blended with miso, vegetables, and tofu, all atop a bed of fluffy rice. Stir it up to unlock a symphony of flavors that will leave your taste buds craving for more. {VEGAN}
Drunken Noodles: Prepare to be transported to the bustling streets of Thailand with our Drunken Noodles. Featuring wide rice noodles imported from Thailand and infused with a sauce boasting Thai basil and a hint of fish sauce, this dish strikes the perfect balance of savory and heat. Sticky, savory, and utterly irresistible, it's sure to become your favorite in no time.
Fire-Roasted Adobo Chicken: Our Fire-Roasted Adobo Chicken offers a contemporary twist on a beloved classic. Infused with vibrant Chipotle Morita chili peppers for a kick of heat, which are carefully smoked, ground, and blended with garlic and spices and marinated in citrus juices, this dish is accompanied by smoky black beans and fluffy white rice. Finished with Poblano peppers and Jack Cheese, with each bite savor the rich flavors of Mexico that set this meal apart from the rest.
