Garlic Chives #2 - Artesia

Wow the food was so good. We started off with the Pomelo Salad. The dish was so bright and citrusy and sweet and acidic. An amazing balance of flavors and textures. Especially with the fried rice cracker. Next up was the toothpick lamb. Another 5/5. Each bite was a great balance of char and spices. It gave such a nice kick while having that delicious gamey lamb flavor. Then we got the Holy Fried Chicken. The texture of the skin was crackly and crunchy and the sauce was sweet and sticky. And finally we got the grilled scallop with masago. The scallop was sweet and delicious but downing it all in one shot including the juices sitting at the bottom is a must.

How this place only earns a 4.4 is beyond me. Simply put the food is excellent here! What you get I 'd point out that being Michelin reviewed for several years Johnathon Gold 's 101 favorite restaurants (RIP) is that for the money you spend here you get a fabulous value. I call it Michelin reviewed quality Panera Bread/Applebee Prices . Seriously, everything on the menu is sooo good from my experiences very consistent. If you 're looking for a very nice casual meal, this place should seriously be considered. Enjoy your day happy eating!

The food was alright. The staff really tries hard to accommodate you. Sometimes they forget something, but that is alright. Don’t we all? Maybe it is not to my flavor, but for others, it may hit the spot. Try it out

Everything we ordered was delicious. From the pommelo salad, coconut snail to the entrees

The wings are a definite must-try, but all the other dishes are authentic and well worth sampling. The only exception is the pepper beef; the quality of the meat simply isn’t up to par.
