About Pinkerton's Snack Bar

Pinkerton's Snack Bar offers excellent service and delicious food. The menu features dishes such as kimchi fries, mushroom dumplings, baos, and ahi tuna tostadas. The duck confit bao buns and king oyster cauliflower are must-tries. The bartenders are attentive and pleasant, even on busy nights. Meals are well-seasoned and portions are generous. The chef and staff contribute to a welcoming atmosphere.

The restaurant has an eclectic bar with wonderful small bites, where the ahi tuna tostada is the star. The wonton wrappers are delightfully airy and crisp, supporting the generous portion of ahi tuna piled high and marinated with a well-balanced soy yuzu sauce that brings a burst of tangy umami. The avocado adds a wonderful creamy bite and is topped with nori flakes and chili peppers. The Taiwanese baos were also popular, easy to pick up and bite with some nice flavors. The chicken is crisp and juicy, slathered in an umami-rich gochujang sauce that's balanced with the pickles. The pork adobo is braised low and slow to render out the fat so it melts in your mouth.

Customers have enjoyed the welcoming vibes and attentive staff, who made great drink suggestions. The Chef's table experience was also praised, with visitors having a lovely time.
