The Ambiance...
What can I say..we went absolutely insane here. I think we ordered one of everything and split it... And had a couple drinks each, so we were full AND toasty. Lol
What we ordered: Classic Pork and Chives Dumplings, Thai Panang Curry Chicken Dumplings, Ahi Tuna Nachos, Thai Blue Crab Fried Rice, and Spicy Sriracha Buffalo Wings.
The Pork and Chives dumplings – very tasty.. and the chive sauce was plate licking yummy. I almost did lick the plate. The waiter boxed up the extra sauce for me, and I poured it on all the leftovers. lol
Thai Panang Curry Chicken Dumplings – also very tasty, but I liked the pork ones better.
Spicy Sriracha Buffalo Wings – OMG.. new best for wings. ( I'm going back JUST FOR THESE!!! They are fantastic.............Valentina)
Ahi Tuna Nachos – very tasty, but the tuna was too sushi/raw for me. It had a slimy texture I didn’t like. I'm all about textures. lol
Valentina rated them highly. (Yes, I thought they were exceptional, I could have eaten about 10 plates of just those tuna nachos...........................Valentina)
Thai Blue Crab Fried Rice – ok, the waiter brought out this large stack of fried rice being hugged by a fried crab. Literally. Unfortunately I didn’t think to take a picture until after we’d demolished it.
The crab scared me a little and Valentina laughed at me. I eventually demolished it to get the tiny bit of meat out of it, only to realize there was crab all through the fried rice. Duh! Very tasty though.
And we finished with the Chocolate Empanada with ice cream. Awesome. Till they have to roll us out!
Drinks: They have a pretty good happy hour. I had the St. Germain Elderflower champagne. Very tasty..and some kind of specialty drink with Thai coconut? The champagne drink was the better one, but they were both good.
Valentina had the Lumi Lychee, and the Jalapeno & Pineapple Margarita. The jalapeno tasted better in it than I thought it would, but I was bothered by the pineapple. It made it too sweet. The Lychee was really tasty. (The best drink was your Champagne and Elderflower...that's just a marvelous concoction, that will be a perfect Summertime in Dallas drink...Valentina)
The place is beautiful and we got there around 6:15, so it was early enough to get a table easily, and a good parking spot. The lot is small and fills up quickly. It filled up after we’d been there about 30 minutes. Good service, and our waiter was a hottie. lol Unfortunately I'm blank on his name! (Be warned that parking is a nightmare, they have only something like six parking spots for the whole restaurant, give yourself time to park! Valentina)
Afterward we farted around in West Village and then hung out at Barnes and Noble on NW Highway for a bit.
Lumi: 4 out of 5 stars.
