What is in the Platter:
FRESH JAPANESE OYSTER with IKURA [$8/piece]
SMOKED EGG, WAGYU, UNI - aburi beef, sea urchin [$12]
BEEF RAGU BRUSCHETTA [$12]
CRAB ARANCINI [$6]
BURRATA - burrata with San Daniele ham [$15]
It is definitely worth trying the Platter if it is your first time and you want to try more food here. The value is there and it is just so much fun to eat and exciting too!
Shall talk about the components in the order of my enjoyment level:
Top of my list would definitely be the bruschetta (unexpectedly though!). Totally won me over with that rich robust flavor from the beef ragu.
And the crab arancini was pretty good too, with chunks of crab meat in it, packed with flavor. I wish there were more! If I return, Iām gg for the full sized appetizer (4 for $12).
I normally love burrata and will always choose that as a default in any Italian restaurant. But this one was pretty lackluster. I wish there was something to balance the creaminess like maybe pesto or salsa or even cherry tomato. I do like how I get to eat burrata and not have to commit to a full sized one though!!
Now, the rest of the items were quite forgettable.
The smoked egg was fine, will give it credit for its novelty. Aburi Beef with hard boiled egg, who would have put them together?
What I enjoyed least was probably the oyster, simply because I just want to have it plain.
