As I'm now reading this, I understand this place. My first go at the menu was "1 of each taco, please." The d/c and I split each taco, and were not wowowed at all to say the least. I thought the chicken taco, while not spicy was pretty decent, but I really quite liked the fish taco. We both said at the end of the meal, we'd return for the fish tacos, and nothing else really. So after we split one of each taco, we got two more fish tacos, an order of the wings, and an order of the dumplings. The fish tacos are definitely what's up here. The dumplings were just fine -everything was just fine...almost boring tho. The fish tacos were really flippin' good, and the more I think about it, the more I liked them.
This was right on with my most recent experience - fish taco approaching Big and Little's level; other tacos serviceable but not fresh, sharp, or balanced enough to offset a lot of tortilla. The sesame-dressed greens from the pork, over the fresh kalbi, on just one corn tortilla, hit with a little soy or kimchi, would be really good. I do think the tacos are generously sized for $3 each (for this category of fusion), especially compared to the $3.50 each at Piggyback and some others I've had recently. I may head back for some fried rice soon, but with Aloha Eats down the street I think the Loco Moco craving will strike sooner.
