But the menu’s really inventive: They also do a steamed pork bun called “Who the Fuck Is David Chang?” that’s pretty great (they’re friends with him, so it’s not an actual dis). There’s an awesome shrimp toast, and a tea leaf salad. And after 10 p.m., the thing to get is their Expatriate Nachos, which are wonton chips with Thai chili cheese sauce and lemongrass beef.
They keep it really dark in there, which I like, and all they play is records, so whoever’s bartending is basically curating the vibe for the space based on what type of music they’re picking. The cocktails change fairly often, but there’s always a really good mix of boozy options and ones that more or less taste like fruit punch, with some fun ingredients. They have a decent wine list as well. It’s mostly a bar, but the kitchen’s definitely legit. I like it because you can go and get a salad, but you can also just get a big plate of sloppy nachos if you’re feeling kind of gross. It’s a good mix.
