Ann Arbor’s Delicious Asian Fusion Spot – Stunning Views, Tasty Bites (Just Be Patient for Food!) This Asian Fusion restaurant is such a gem—great food, incredible views through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and just the right mix of familiar flavors with a fun twist. 🥬 Starter: Beef Lettuce Wraps – Flavorful, Just Go Easy on Salt The beef lettuce wraps are a solid start! The beef itself is tender and packed with savory flavor—perfect for wrapping in crisp lettuce. The only tiny issue? It’s a little salty. Pro tip: ask for less salt when you order, and it’ll be chef’s kiss 🧂. Fresh, light, and great for sharing (or hoarding for yourself—no judgment!). 🍖 Entrées: Lamb Shank Steals the Show (Seasonal Alert!), Ribeye Is a Hearty Win The main dishes are where this spot really shines—two hits, no misses (just a heads-up about seasonality!): Ribeye Dish: Like a fancy Korean beef bibimbap, but better! It’s got big, juicy chunks of ribeye (no skimping on meat here!) with the same vibe as Korean beef 拌饭 (mixed rice), but heartier and more flavorful. The portion is massive—you’ll probably have leftovers (win for next-day lunch!). It’s satisfying, tasty, and totally worth it 😋. 🍰 Dessert: Matcha Crème Brûlée Is the Only One to Get Desserts are a bit of a mixed bag—stick to the matcha one, and skip the rest: Crème Brûlée (3 Flavors: Matcha, Spicy Pumpkin, Ginger): Only the matcha flavor works. It’s 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 sharp—save your sweet tooth for the matcha version 🟢. ⏰ The Big Complaint: Ridiculously Slow Service Let’s be real—service is painfully slow. From the time we ordered to when our main dishes arrived? Almost an hour. It’s frustrating, especially if you’re hungry, but… the food is good enough that I’m willing to forgive it (for now). Just plan accordingly—don’t come here if you’re in a rush 😾. 🌟 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 it’s seasonal, and be patient with service. I’ll definitely be back—next time with a plan to get that chocolate warm cake! #food #MyFoodDiary #StudentEats #AnnArbor #AnnArborFood #AnnArborFoodie #UniversityOfMichigan #Michigan
