This dining room is all about fun, with a laid-back décor including exposed bulbs strung above the counter facing into the open kitchen, lending a convivial mood that’s like dining in a friend's backyard. The family-style prix fixe menu has its own cheeky tone, starting with the "really, really, really good challah" (and it is), served with an artful ruffle of caraway honey butter. The cooking is equal parts approachable and ingenious, as in a signature salad of spiced pork paired with airy coconut cream and lychee, spiked with lime juice and a bevy of fresh herbs, or Korean rice cakes coated with a creamy, spicy gochujang alla vodka sauce. Desserts offer their own excitement, as in a sticky toffee pudding enhanced with earthy, complex mole negro, paired with a soothing horchata ice cream.
