Had a mixed experience for dinner on a Sunday night (2 adults, 1 kid).
Started with the Smoked Trout salad and Astoria salad which were both good (highly recommend the Astoria). My pork chop entree was delicious as well. My husband went with the prime beef rib eye which was very tender but too salty and half of it was more a medium instead of medium-rare. Unfortunately, one of my son’s chicken tenders was still raw in the thickest part of the chicken. I just had him eat the other piece which was fine. I should have said something but there were only 3 people on staff and they were rushed trying to cover all the tables. We also tried the carrot cake which was different (looser crumb, frosting not too sweet) but really good.
I would not judge this place by a bad kids meal but I did expect a better steak.

Great meal on a Sat night!
Order all 4 favorites-
Crispy Brussels- PHENOMENAL! Perfect balance of savory with some acid, crispy and tender
Pork buns - good but no Ippudo!
Korean Prime Striploin - meat cooked perfectly med-rare. Fried rice was a dud and didn’t add to the dish.
Pork Shank - Wow! Sooo good! A bit of heat from the peppers but not overpowering.
Apps came out really quickly and service was good. Server didn’t ask if we wanted dessert so we skipped that but would have ordered the chocolate cake.
In and out in an hour. Definitely make reservations or take your chances at the bar.
Ps they have a kid’s menu
