Enthusiastic service and a terrific eclectic Asian fusion menu. We had the coconut Thai seafood curry, Korean fried chicken, smoked chili tofu lettuce wraps, and cocktails. All Excellent and not over priced.
June 2025
We had an unforgettable experience at Block Kitchen + Bar! Every dish was a burst of flavor, from the crispy Pork Kimchi Gyozas to the tender Saikoro Steak and smoky Korean Short Ribs. The Takoyaki was soft and savory with the perfect touch of bonito flakes, and the Asian Lettuce Wraps (Pork Belly) were crunchy and packed with flavor. Even the steamed rice was the perfect base to soak it all up.

Dessert? Incredible. The Matcha Cheesecake, Matcha Ice Cream, and...

This was our first time here, and we will be back to try more. Everything we ordered was exceptional. We all agreed that the Tokyo fries were the best fries we've ever tasted and would travel oceans to taste them again! We also had the Korean Rib, Okonomiyaki, the chopped salad, and Kara Age chicken skewers. We had an event to go to and joked about missing it, to stay and keep eating. We decided we would just come back again soon!
