Wow.Wow.Wow...."All I can say is wow!" This place was amazing. Honestly, this place was so much better than I expected and lived up to all the hype. I had been wanting to go here for a long time based on all the local PR (Chef Chang's husband, Chris Myers is the front of the house and PR stalwart behind the Radius umbrella) I was given the opportunity a few months ago to go with a large group including my girlfriend, her parents and their friends. I would highly recommend going as a large party and just sharing amongst the group to avoid confusion since there are sooooo many yummy things to try and also because the food is served family style.
The owner/chef, Joanne Chang even delivered a dish to our table which I thought was very cool. I remember at one point in the meal hearing the band Dispatch being played which resulted in a perfect state of nirvana. The waitress was also really cool and very skilled at recommendations. rather than asking, "well, what do you like?" she just shot from the hip with some wonderful recommendations based on what people seem to order, even mentioning that people come from NH to get the fried chicken ! We tried so many things, but probably the most memorable would be the wok roasted mussels, charred udon noodles, and the tiger tears.

In fact, if I am to go back with just my girlfriend, this is probably what we would order. We also had this amazing whole fried black sea bass (crispy whole fish) that was so much better than I expected based on the fact that whole fish scares me!
Also noteworthy and very tasty were the tea smoked ribs and the braised pork belly buns. It was just one continuous wow as the food just kept pouring out.
