variety of dishes.
Presenting a new Asian cuisine, the main dining area is bustling with activity, however the outdoor areas offer a nice reclusive atmosphere underneath the heat lamps to protect you from the freezing la jolla weather..:)
The polynesian crab stack, a tartare influenced tapa, was crab flavored with mango, pea shoots, red onion in a spicy Ginger lime dressing.. Brought out initially as a towered stack, but mixed thoroughly at the table., was distinctly flavorful and delicious:
The hawaiin style pork spring Rolls were brought out with a hoisin sauce and a sweet and chili sauce...
The yellowtail roll and the Kobe beef roll were fantastic. Spicy yellowtail with scallion and fire roasted chili purée... The seared Kobe beef with crab and asparagus with a touch of American horseradish was divine:
The BBQ mini lamb chops with pineapple fried rice were good enough to pick up by the bone and gnaw your kittle heart out!
A new and surprisingly fabulous combination, was the smoked salmon on potato corn crisps with a lemon chive creme fraiche... Topped with a little tobiko caviar... Heavenly:
The spicy sesame coated shrimp assorted in arugula and mango was a nice addition:
For dessert, a baked Bosch pear with a coconut gelato was good, though if burnt a bit more would have been fabulous...
A little coconut and chocolate take home:
With a modern twist to the Asian confusion, roppongi's Asian tapas bring all the fun and powerful flavors of the east, to the shores of la jolla..
