We need something quick and easy, and the well-known izakaya is too busy. That is the best thing that happened to us in Sacramento because it forces us to look across the street. We stumble upon this cute little takeout joint, where we pick up the best food of the trip.
Chili Oil Wontons are addictive. Twelve plump pockets of a delicate, juicy filling of pork and shrimp, doused in a chili oil will have you burn for more.
Cold Sesame Noodles are impressively simple. Sesame sauce and chili oil mix with absolutely perfect noodles and julienned veg for a lighter lunch.
Stewed Pork over Rice is a fantastic find, a simple chopped-up simmer of fatty, gooey bits punctuated by pickles and highlighted by a soy sauce egg.
The food sounds simple, but the flavors are balanced and full. Every item plays its part, every element added is smart for plates of pretty, homey comfort food, all exquisitely made.
