The Peached Tortilla

Rating: 3.6/5 [Postmates delivery] The Peached Tortilla is the sister restaurant of Bar Peached. They serve a variety of Asian-inspired dishes. Dan Dan Noodles ($17.25) + 45-Minute Egg ($2): Five-spice pork, chili peanut sauce, cucumbers (spicy). The flavors weren’t as strong as I’d like and felt muted. I was expecting a rich, nutty, and spicy profile, but it didn’t shine through. They also used thick flat noodles instead of thin ones, which didn’t soak up the flavor well. I barely noticed the ground pork until halfway through. However, the dish does grow on you as you eat. Lush Pork Belly Bowl ($18.40) + Extra Chinese BBQ Sauce ($0.50): Five-spice pork belly, house kimchi, pickled daikon carrots, 45-minute egg, jasmine rice. Pretty disappointing. They served three large blocks of pork belly, but they were dry and didn’t fully absorb the five-spice flavor. You definitely need to dip them in the Chinese BBQ sauce. The egg was delicious but didn’t taste much different from a poached egg. Peach Sichuan Brussels ($11.50): Sichuan peppercorn peach glaze, fried shallots, sesame (vegan). This was my favorite of the four dishes. The Brussels sprouts were a bit soggy when they arrived, but they were perfect after I air-fried them. The peach Sichuan flavor was well-balanced and not overpowering. Umami Chicken Wings ($12.65): Fish sauce vinaigrette, herbs, shallots (gluten-free). The chicken wings didn’t absorb the fish sauce vinaigrette, so they lacked umami. I’m also not a fan of eating whole chicken wings since their shape makes them a bit difficult to eat.

I was helped by Tyra at the airport location. She was so helpful and accommodating. She offered several options to suit the dairy free/gluten free hell I’m living in currently, evening informing me of other places in the airport that offer options. She went out of her way and I’m so appreciative.

We had brunch in the weekend. Overall it was really good. Nice place to have brunch and hang out. Overall food is a bit pricey for the portion that we got. Scallion puffs were unexpectedly good. Cup of fruits was cute but very small. Char Siu bowl - the meat was very tough. I hope they carry more gluten free items.
