“The food is an adventure. Every single mouthful packed a punch!”

“I’m Martin Smith. I’m a restaurant consultant and menu designer And I’m here at BAHA.

I have worked with many restaurants over the last 10 years. I’ve spent a lot of time in the kitchen and all different areas of the kitchen and all different areas of the restaurant.

The food has been fantastic. Every single dish has offered something different. Different degrees of vibrancy in the dishes and every single mouthful I’ve tried tonight has packed a punch. It’s really really good.

 

It screams out Southern California to me. You’ve just across the water. So you’ve got you know, the Asian Panhandle, you’ve got Mexico just below, it ticks all the boxes. And as far as I know around this area there is nothing like it. Each dish offers a little bit of a taste, a little bit of experience of different places in the Pacific Rim. It’s a bit of an adventure rather than “just” being a menu.

 

It’s an adventure. That’s that’s how I feel about it.

 

It’s really really exciting. I would absolutely recommend coming here. There are so many dishes to choose from.
I would definitely recommend coming down here as a big group. Because you will be able to travel around the whole menu and try a bit of everything.

The flavors in the menu and all the dishes that I’ve had this evening are definitely authentic,
but with a twist, which is good.Everything’s donecorrectly. You know, using the correct ingredients and cooked in the right way.
There’s so many standout dishes on the menu. I tried most of them this evening! But the one standout dish for me tonight was definitely the Kimchi Rice. That packs a punch for a bowl of rice. That packs a punch big-time!

The Bao Buns are absolutely fantastic. Especially the Beef Cheek with the seaweed mayonnaise. They definitely put a smile on my face when I had that. And the Ceviche, that is that refreshing when you’ve had some quite rich dishes.
That kind of like cleanses your palate, as well as being really really tasty.

We ordered quite a lot of food tonight. There’s still more coming. But went through every single section and picked out some key things.

The skewers were fantastic. The Pork Skewers were really really tender. All the grilled meats were melt in the mouth. Sometimes you get some grilled meats that are really really bone dry. These were melt in the mouth, really really good.

The Bao Buns… we had the Beef Cheek with the seaweed mayonnaise, which was really really tasty.
The KFC or Korean Fried Chicken, very authentic very very nice. The Sashimi, perfectly cut, really good, tasty fish.
The dipping sauce… different to what you may be used to like wasabi and soy, but soy sauce and chilli in there, that was really really tasty, different.

Within the menu, there is enough variety there to cater to everybody’s taste and there are
some really standout Vegan dishes in there. The Panko Fried Cauliflower was one of my favorite things
and in actual fact and I’m not a Vegan. So it should be able to cater for all tastes and you got the good meat dishes, good fish dishes and then again Vegan. It ticks the box.

I think they really stand out and definitely with a side of Kimchi Rice because that was really really nice.
The wagyu beef is one thing that I definitely try when I come back. The confit egg yolk on the menu sounds really interesting.
