Being Gluten-Free....I am challenged at restaurants. I was pleasantly surprised at the absolute flavor and taste of the food. Even my non-gluten free family loved the fried chicken. Thsnk you

Michelin-star Chef James Syhabout brings brilliance to this fast-casual fusion counter service gem. Every bite had us laughing and oohing at the amazing flavors. We shared bites of every amazing dish. I had the spicy fried chicken sandwich which dripped homemade Thai oil, slaw, and jalapeno aioli. Wow! My partner had the BBQ chicken sandwich with rich, dark, smoky tamarind sauce and bright pickles and fresh herbs and mint leaves. The blistered green beans with bacon and Prik Khing curry were life-changingly good. And the tots with secret seasoning (lemon grass?) Ooh, la, la! Our friends got bowls; one got the fried chicken bowl (clearly labeled that one of the sauces contained gluten, so she subbed out for the delicious dark wing sauce and a GF meal) another friend the KMG and broth bowl which made for the best rice any of us had ever had. The canned spicy margaritas were likewise fantastic, served over ice with paper-thin dried lime wheels. We ate like kings and left happy, riding endorphins down the block, telling other friends about the amazing place we'd found. I even bought the cookbook! Thank you, Hawking Bird, Thank you!
