Walking into Edible Passport felt like stepping into a secret haven. It was the kind of place where time slows down, and you can truly relax. The atmosphere is calm and cozy, a perfect spot to sit back and enjoy something amazing. The one item that immediately caught my eye was the Tennessee Hot Chicken Slider. From the very first bite, I knew I was in for something unforgettable. The buttery hot sauce had a perfect balance, spicy yet smooth, coating the crispy Southern fried chicken breast. The chicken was everything you hope for: crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside, packed with flavor without a hint of grease. It was one of those bites you always dream about but rarely find. Then, the cheddar added this rich, creamy contrast, melting just enough into the chicken to blend with the heat. The slaw brought a fresh crunch with every bite, and it wasn’t just there for texture—it had this cool, tangy zing that perfectly balanced the heat. But the real surprise was the house pickles. They had this bold, briny kick that elevated everything, cutting through the richness and adding a bright, zesty note. Each bite was like a flavor symphony spicy, tangy, creamy, crunchy, all working together in perfect harmony. It didn’t feel like just another sandwich, it felt like something crafted with care, with every ingredient having a purpose. If you're looking for more than just a meal, something that hits all the right notes in a relaxed, welcoming spot, Edible Passport is where...

We started with the Jerk Chicken Sliders (Jamaican-inspired) — packed with bold flavor, and that pineapple slaw took it to the next level. 🌴🔥
Next up was the Indonesian Peanut Chicken Satay — perfectly seasoned and tender, served over rice with the most delicious peanut sauce. Honestly, this might have been my favorite dish of the night! 🥜🍗
Then came the Grilled Chicken Bao Buns (China) — soft, flavorful, and beautifully layered with fresh veggies and tangy sauces. Total flavor explosion! 🥢
Of course, we couldn’t skip the Truffle Fries — crispy, rich, and addictive. 🍟✨

Read moreI came midday on a Sunday. There were only 3 or 4 other tables. The stand out was the special, coconut shrimp. The sauce was delicious and the sauce itself was warm which I thought was a nice touch. The sauce was a delicious sort of curry flavor. Very nice. The shrimp was hot and well seasoned and so reasonably priced.
I also loved the fruit plate from the brunch menu! It has at least 7 different fruits, and was a great portion for the price. I wish more restaurants would offer sometime like that.
Both dishes were plated very nicely. The music was quite loud when I first came in, but they kindly lowered it a bit upon request. The service was good.
The coffee was a little burnt tasting, not my favorite. But it was a large mug of it!
I enjoyed it and would definitely come back. I'm excited to try more of...
