Ann Arborâs Delicious Asian Fusion Spot â Stunning Views, Tasty Bites (Just Be Patient for Food!) This Asian Fusion restaurant is such a gemâgreat food, incredible views through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and just the right mix of familiar flavors with a fun twist. đ„Ź Starter: Beef Lettuce Wraps â Flavorful, Just Go Easy on Salt The beef lettuce wraps are a solid start! The beef itself is tender and packed with savory flavorâperfect for wrapping in crisp lettuce. The only tiny issue? Itâs a little salty. Pro tip: ask for less salt when you order, and itâll be chefâs kiss đ§. Fresh, light, and great for sharing (or hoarding for yourselfâno judgment!). đ EntrĂ©es: Lamb Shank Steals the Show (Seasonal Alert!), Ribeye Is a Hearty Win The main dishes are where this spot really shinesâtwo hits, no misses (just a heads-up about seasonality!): Ribeye Dish: Like a fancy Korean beef bibimbap, but better! Itâs got big, juicy chunks of ribeye (no skimping on meat here!) with the same vibe as Korean beef æé„ (mixed rice), but heartier and more flavorful. The portion is massiveâyouâll probably have leftovers (win for next-day lunch!). Itâs satisfying, tasty, and totally worth it đ. đ° Dessert: Matcha CrĂšme BrĂ»lĂ©e Is the Only One to Get Desserts are a bit of a mixed bagâstick to the matcha one, and skip the rest: CrĂšme BrĂ»lĂ©e (3 Flavors: Matcha, Spicy Pumpkin, Ginger): Only the matcha flavor works. Itâs creamy, has a subtle earthy matcha taste, and the caramelized top adds just the right crunch. The spicy pumpkin is odd (the heat and sweetness clash), and the ginger is too sharpâsave your sweet tooth for the matcha version đą. â° The Big Complaint: Ridiculously Slow Service Letâs be realâservice is painfully slow. From the time we ordered to when our main dishes arrived? Almost an hour. Itâs frustrating, especially if youâre hungry, but⊠the food is good enough that Iâm willing to forgive it (for now). Just plan accordinglyâdonât come here if youâre in a rush đŸ. đ Final Verdict: Worth the Wait (and the Visit!) Between the stunning views, delicious lamb shank, and hearty ribeye, this spot is a must-try for anyone craving Asian Fusion in Ann Arbor. Just remember to ask for less salt on the lettuce wraps, order the lamb shank while itâs seasonal, and be patient with service. Iâll definitely be backânext time with a plan to get that chocolate warm cake! #food #MyFoodDiary #StudentEats #AnnArbor #AnnArborFood #AnnArborFoodie #UniversityOfMichigan #Michigan
