Ka Pao

We went to this restaurant for our first dinner at Edinburgh.

One interesting thing I noticed is that there was. I Asian staff for a Thai restaurant (of course that is totally ok).

For this restaurant it is basically family style. We got the short rib (which was a red curry), the green beef curry, the sea bream fish, cucumber salad, and the crispy chicken. I would get all of them again except the crispy chicken.

For drinks, got their version of a cosmo (wish it was a bit sweeter), and an Aperol spritz (can’t go wrong with that)

One thing we did wish though is that they had some sort of noodle dish. Aside from that would come back.

Dunhuang

Tried this Chinese restaurant at LIC (Long Island City). Gotta say I was surprisingly impressed.

It doesn’t have what you would typically expect from a Chinese restaurant. But what we ordered was all good.

We got several cold dishes including cucumbers, chicken and beef. They all tasted great and would order all of them again

We also got a warm lamb dish. I would eat again, but would order something else if I had the choice.

We also got the Dunhuang Pan Fried noodles with chicken. The noodles are hand made, and they were fantastic. Would get it again for sure.

Only thing about this place is that it doesn’t have a liquor license. Hopefully that changes in the future.

Torikizoku Dotombori

We came here to have yakitori, and the selection for the most part was great.

From what we ordered, the noodles, chicken thighs, chicken breasts, beef, chicken meatball and cucumbers were really good, and I would order all of it again. For drinks, I had the kaku highball, and Chita whisky on the rocks.
