This is a Wolfgang Puck restaurant that infuses different Asian foods with European influences. Although to many people that have eaten some of the major cultural foods of Asia such as Peking Duck, Panang curry, and Xio Long Baos will be no stranger to the vehicle on which the flavors arrive, the food is still any interesting twist on Asian food as a whole, albeit some better than others.Initially I saw this place and wanted to try it because it was nearing Valentines Day and the restaurant had a nice view of Los Angeles. My partner and I also like trying interesting restaurants that invent or innovate. I was a little hesitant because I figured an Asian restaurant backed by a white man in his 70-80s doesn't sound very promising. Also, when reviewing their menu, I found some...interesting names for cocktails, mainly the one called the Samurai Sword. The name is...a little cliche and it frankly sounds like something a 12-year old came up with. However, we decided to give it a chance.Valentine's Day had a prefix menu which I understood is a thing but I was a little disappointed because I wanted to try a couple of things on the full menu. But no matter, I was cautiously optimistic about their prefix. We wait about 10 minutes for our reservation in which we ordered a couple drinks. Solid.We were moved to a booth inside and the space looked beautiful.We were greeted by I believe his name was Desmond? and he was the star of the night. He was attentive and he made sure we had a special night. Here's the break down of the food:Kusshi oysters with passion fruit mignonette:I love oysters but I'm not going to pretend I know anything beyond the surface level. The passion fruit mignonette added a nice tartness.Bluefin Tuna toro on crispy rice:This was possibly the least innovative starter. This dish reminded me of the times I'd go to AYCE sushi spots in my younger days and we'd fill up on appetizers like this while waiting for the actual sushi to arrive. I figured it'd be different than the others but, sure enough, it tasted pretty much the same as all the others I've tried.Wild mushroom egg roll:Not going to lie, after the crispy rice I was not expecting much but the egg rolls were probably my favorite starter. Nice chew from the mushrooms, crispy egg roll exterior, and the sauce was pretty good.Shang Jian Bao:Decent. Nothing too innovative but executed well and flavorful.Now to our entrees--we had the Shanghai Lobster and the Red Curry.Shanghai Lobster:This curry dish was okay, but was overshadowed by the red curry. Typically, this dish comes with rice, greens, and the lobster itself, and the lobster meat. However, our dish did not come with a lobster. We actually inquired about it to staff who told us he would look into it. He went to talk to a manager but he never came back our way and we noticed he actively avoided us the rest of the night. Manager did not say anything and when we mentioned it to our server Desmond?, he comped us for a steak. We wouldn't have taken the steak but I was in a pretty hungry mood so I had to take it. Speaking of the steak...NY Steak with Honey Mustard sauce:I usually don't order steaks just because I feel like there are only so many things you can do to a steak. I like my steaks on the simpler side. However, this steak was perfectly cooked and came with a side of brocollini which had a nice, slightly sweet sauce. The honey mustard great and complimented the steak well.Red curry:This was actually my favorite entree. The freshness of the papaya salad offset the richness of the curry. There was a good amount of prawns and snapper. The curry flavor was a bit sharper than the Shanghai lobster's and a bit more memorable.Sakura mousse + lychee sorbet in a dark chocolate sphere and mini lava cakes:The Sakura and lychee flavors were interesting. It was a fun little dessert to end our dinner.Overall:1. I thought our server was great minus the incident about the lobster that was swept under the rug and forgotten about by the manager.2. Some of the foods were good, some felt haphazardly tacked on to fill the prefix menu3. The ambiance was great--this is a beautiful venue. Initially we were worried because it's right next to the pool for the Pendry but once you enter the restaurant, it is elegant and in this case, romantic.I feel that maybe I might try this place again through their regular menu. I feel that some of the menu items can deviate a bit more to make the food more interesting to people who have eaten an assortment of different Asian foods, but it is still good nonetheless.
