There is no reason to check the clock when you are enjoying the moment, laughing with your table, and reaching back for just one more bite.

Sticky Lamb Ribs and Crispy Eggplant

Out of the full banquet lineup, the sticky lamb ribs and the crispy eggplant easily stole the show for me. The lamb ribs come coated in a dark black vinegar caramel glaze with sliced red chillies and spring onion scattered over the top. They are cooked so tenderly that I simply had to drop the chopsticks and use my fingers to pull the tender meat apart.

The fried eggplant arrives coated in a savoury sauce with a generous dusting of sesame seeds and scallions. Pulling a piece apart by hand shows off a delicate crispy batter shell holding soft, steaming eggplant inside, making for a remarkably satisfying dish alongside the richer ribs.

Around the room, red figurines hanging from ceiling grids and an illuminated Harajuku Gyoza sign featuring the dumpling mascot bring a playful, energetic mood to the dining room.
