My latest culinary adventure took me to a hidden gem that's all about authentic flavors and cozy dining experiences. At Spice N Steam, I was immediately taken by the radish and beef brisket stew, which was stewed to such perfect tenderness that it practically melted in my mouth. The black pepper eggplant and cowboy ribs were equally impressive, each dish bursting with its own unique and savory notes.
The dim sum here is a real showstopper, steamed to order and just as delightful as any I've had before. The pork belly, recommended by the incredibly knowledgeable server, was a standout, with its rich flavors and high-quality preparation leaving a lasting impression. And let's talk about the sweet and sour fish – it was a revelation with its light breading and an extraordinary sauce that was unlike anything I've tasted.
The ambiance, complete with 70's music, adds to the charm, making it a cozy spot for a quiet brunch with family or a delightful dinner. Despite the unassuming exterior, the interior is clean, albeit a bit dark, but that doesn't detract from the overall experience. The variety of dim sum dishes, from soup dumplings to lotus wrap chicken and rice noodle rolls, had me and fellow diners unable to stop reaching for more. And while the mapo tofu threw me a curveball with its unexpected jalapeños and pickled veggies, it was a tasty twist on the classic. Spice N Steam is a place I'll be returning to, eager to try more of their offerings.
