A new hidden gem in town!! Went out to get lunch with my friends since things are slowly reopening. My friend V has been recommending to come here, so we made our way here today!
This place may surprise you a bit. It's located near all the Vietnamese businesses, so I had sort of an expectation of what it would look like. I was proven wrong. It's bistro like, charming, simple, with instrumental jazz music in the background. It almost feels as if I'm not in little Saigon town anymore.
The food they served are brunch and pasta. The PASTA!! Everything is made fresh here at the restaurant, and to me, the pasta shined the most. We had the short rib beef and beet pappardelle, the chicken agnolotti, and the pitchers sandwich with potato chips! Everything was immaculate!! The umami flavors bursting in my mouth was such a sensation!!
My friends loved it. Since Covid19 is still around, food is served in paper plates and plastic utensils for safety and health purposes.
I would recommend everyone coming here. I would definitely come again.
If you're debating if you should try this place, the answer is YES!
I am not a food critic or anything, but I was just so blown away by the mixture of flavors and textures in each dish. Chicken agnolotti had a dynamic savory flavor - pumpkin seeds (i think) and coconut flakes adding a lot texture and fragrance to a flavorful sauce. Pappardelle is a very fun dish if you really want to experience their delicious pasta texture - it's so perfect, I promise! It's so colorful and fun too. By the way, EVERYTHING is housemade, which we can all appreciate. And for dessert, matcha panna cotta with a lot of flairs - blueberry sorbet, mildly tart yogurt, honey jelly, blackberries and meringue! Lots of fun textures and combinations of different flavors in every bite. Matcha panna cotta itself had a strong matcha taste but mild in sweetness to allow for the other ingredients to shine.
Overall, I was extremely happy with my dinning experience. Chef Joon and all staffs were so sweet.
I was lucky to be able to dine in with them at this time. I'll definitely will be coming back for more or for takeouts! :)
(Chef also sent me out with a beet pasta togo which has a super yummy savoury sweetness to it. Thank you so much, Chef Joon! See you soon)
We decided to order takeout from pastars on a whim and were delightfully blown away! Everything was delicious. The porchetta sandwich was a flavor explosion!! I’m excited to try more of their menu. Definitely give this place a try. It was probably the best takeout I’ve had during this covid lockdown and made me so happy. :)
I love their porchetta sandwich! Highly recommend!
Juicy pork with fresh veggies combine with unique sauce was really delicious. Also it come out with chips for side.
Food is the best. High-end restaurant food quality for local fast-food price. Highly recommend!
