Oryza Asiana Bistro has very quickly become one of Babe and my favorite restaurants, and it’s not just because Babe works there… ahem(: Oryza has just opened and you can find it behind Keihl’s and across from MAC! I honestly would not have noticed from the inside of the mall if Babe never pointed it out to me, even the people that we invite with us to go eat there have trouble finding it from the inside of the mall! The restaurant is actually very beautiful from the inside, a lot of wood detailing and it’s not like cheesecake factory where a lot of the seats are smooshed really close together. All the seating is isolated so you don’t have to worry about being put between two different sets of people… Oh! Did I mention the service? All the servers are so funny and sweet, and everyone is so attentive, don’t expect to EVER run low on your drink before the workers come rushing to refill it!
Anyway, lets talk about the food. It’s basically Asian food with a twist! Everything… literally everything, is delicious and is set at a very reasonable price! (Think red lobster pricing, but 5 star restaurant food, along with the presentation of it). My favorite appetizer is the Garlic fried chicken, I was expecting it to be a little oily and savory at first but I found it to be very crisp but not greasy and the seasoning made it taste very fresh, not weighed down and heavy from the batter!
If you guys are in the area and looking for a good place to eat for valentines day, give Oryza a try!
