"Katana's dragon roll has shrimp tempura with avocado and a spicy sauce. Trying to catch it as it sails past on a boat after a few glasses of wine: priceless."

"This salad is huge, definitely big enough for two. Crispy-skinned Peking duck, pea shoots, pine nuts, and pomelo—lovely."

"Does what it says on the tin (meaning it delivers exactly what it promises): scrambled eggs, bacon, and Cheddar cheese wrapped in a flour tortilla. It's good every time."

"This is a succulent slab of barbecued pork belly on a potato roll with kimchi. It's a heart attack-inducing sandwich. Fantastic."

"Crunchy, warm bread and applewood smoked bacon, all served with homemade pickles like it should be. This dish is simple but delicious."

"Cold sliced beets are topped with a cold, hard boiled egg and have plenty of red wine vinegar and Maldon salt added. Even though the restaurant literally means 'the fat cows,' I love this thin salad! This may make you smell afterwards, but it is well worth it."
