Tiff ordered the Chinese Chicken Salad for her appetizer and
the Black Pepper Mignon Beef for her entree.
I got the Peking Duck Bun and the Honey Walnut Shrimp. The chicken salad was very refreshing; Tiff
and I really liked the dressing and the fresh lettuce. We especially liked the fried wonton, which
added texture to the salad.
The Peking
duck bun was served with pickled cucumber and some green onions inside the bun. I am not a fan of green onions but the
pickled cucumber worked great with the duck.
We really dig the crunch of the cucumber and the moist and tenderness of
the duck. Along with some drizzle of the
hoisin sauce, the appetizer was completely devoured in our bellies.

The mignon beef was hands down one of the best we’ve ever had. It was so tender, I can taste it melt in my mouth. Red onion is not one of my favorite, but the way it was cooked in harmony with the beef was pure goodness.

The honey walnut shrimp was very scrumptious and lightly coated with mayonnaise. This was important for me and Tiff since we are watching our waistline, we definitely didn’t think the mayonnaise overwhelmed the shrimp at all. These entrees also came with white Jasmine rice or brown rice. You can most certainly opt out on the rice if you are trying to lay off some carbs.

This was a good lunch, we were completely satisfied and
service was great. Our server was very
nice. Looking at their menu I would
think this place is a little too pricey for me, but after tasting the quality
of the food and the culinary skills of the chefs, this place is worth trying
out. Eating well is part of your health
and you want to make sure you treat yourself to good restaurants that serve
fresh foods because, after all, some do say, “you are what you eat”. If you are in the area, I hope you get a chance
to explore Dine L.A. Restaurant week!
