If you want an unforgettable meal that will set your tastebuds on fire, please make your way to V Street. Coming here with my Dad nearly 3 years later after receiving a gift card, you could say we were eager to feast. We each decided...to do the Prix Fixe Menu (Great deal - 3 courses/nice portions, and a complimentary dessert for $35). We shared all of our plates - Yucatán Salad, Hot Pot of Market Greens, Peruvian Potatoes, Trinidad Doubles, Spicy Dan Dan Noodles, and the KFT Tacos. 6 courses for 2 people, you may ask?! Yes, we are professionals.
The Yucatán salad was dressed with a green goddess dressing that I was scraping off of the plate because it was THAT good. The Hot Pot of Market Greens included vegetables submerged in a pot of pho broth that was seasoned with cinnamon and star anise, very warming on a chilly day. The Peruvian potatoes...let the photos speak for themselves, Crisp, that yellow aioli-like sauce was outstanding, the peanuts and dried olives (first time having) made it a well-rounded bite. The Trinidad Doubles was great especially if you like Indian food and the taste of cumin. And finally, the ENTREES. The Spicy Dan Dan Noodles would put any Ramen to shame. It definitely had a kick, but the spice doesn’t overpower the dish. The star of the show were the mushrooms and that sauce. And the KFT tacos...leave Taco Bell in the past and come to V Street. The fried tempeh would put any fried fish to shame, topped with the radish kimchi which I didn’t expect to like as much as I did. It was the perfect compliment.
Now at this point I was starting to see Stars because of the food coma I was in, but it would be a sin to not eat the complimentary dessert of a mini cannoli Sunday - pistachio ice cream, bitter chocolate, candied orange peel, and chocolate. Do I sound like I work for Food Network yet? I have my resume for future reference.
To top off our experience, our waiter Harry was knowledgeable, personable, and became a fast friend. As a waitress myself, I am overjoyed when I meet someone else who is as passionate about serving others and of course, THE FOOD! Highly recommend to all those, both meat lovers and vegetarians, who want to buckle up and go for a culinary joyride to V Street.More
