Not for the faint of heart.There were mixed reviews from the group. I enjoyed the restaurant, La Portena found it acceptable, and the feinschmecker did not like it.We arrived for a Sunday lunch about 1 p.m. The Grand Opening banner was still up and two or three other tables were occupied during our time there. You begin with a small dish of pickled cucumber and daikon on the house. We ordered the soy sauce cucumber and the beef and ox tongue appetizer. The cucumbers were sweet and a good palliative if you are overcome by ma la. I thought the beef and ox tongue was pretty much perfect, La Portena protested the amount of ma la. For main courses we tried the whole fish (bass) , the salt and pepper shrimp, and the double cooked pork. the whole fish was the winner - it came in a fragrant bath of pickled vegetables, and the sauce was nice over rice. ($1 supplement). Our server tried to steer us to fillets, thinking we Westerners couldn't handle the bones but there were not so many and we like taking the meat off the bones.The pork was a nice dish but not a killer. I have a feeling it was toned down because we indicated that La Portena likes her vittles mild.The salt and pepper shrimp was my least favorite main. I have memories of much better versions, the best being at the now long departed Phoenix Garden. This one was a bit oily, could have been crunchier, and it needed some chilies in there for aesthetics. The shrimp themselves were fine. I'll skip that one next time.Had a Modelo to wash it down.Overall, service was quite good, friendly and prompt, and the decor is what I imagine an upscale restaurant on the mainland would look like. If I come again, I will come with folks who want to eat the heat.
