Pig Heaven

So my beloved, Lora Papetsas, who is a Michelin Star trained chef who has mentored with Michel Guerard, Alain Senderens, Pierre Troisgros, Roger Verge, Anne Willan and Barbara Tropp decided to surprise me for for Valentine’s Day. I mention this not to impress anybody, but rather to impress upon you that one can can tell a lot as my father would say, “that one can tell how good the cook is by the food they make.” With that in mind, I want to bring up the woman that my beloved trained with as a mentor, Barbara Tropp —- please look her up in Wikipedia that says that she is the one that introduced Asian cuisine to the Americas. Thus we ordered from this restaurant something that is really hard to make, which is a Chilean Seabass which is crispy and has its own sauce along with a Peking duck which also is difficult to make. And of course we ordered egg drop soup and I have to tell you when I saw how the egg drop soup was not full of yolk and yellow, I realized this place was truly authentic. The best way to describe this place is that my beloved echoed what her mentor would say of how Asian cuisine is so amazing and magnificent. So I leave you with this if you’re looking for a place to get a fortune cookie at the end, this is NOT the place because the fortune is actually the meal itself.

I have to say I really enjoyed the food, atmosphere and very attentive service. From making sure my glass was always filled with water, to making crispy duck sandwiches for us right at the table. We ordered a whole duck along with Lo mein and fried rice and everything was delicious and authentic including the Japanese fried chicken appetizer. Its been a long time since I've had fried rice with egg cooked in it. Our server spoke highly of their spare ribs, so we'll definitely be back to try those. About the atmosphere, the restaurant is very nice, spacious, and has a classy, yet relaxed vibe. Bottom line, the food was beyond delicious, the service was the best and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. We will be back for sure

I came here with my mom and my younger sister for my birthday. It was amazing! The food is soo good! We had the Peking duck, pork fried rice, shrimp fried rice, beef lo mein, string beans and Japanese fried chicken. My sister loved how fresh everything was! The staff is nice and attentive. We’d definitely come back here for dinner!

Sadly, the food in Pig Heaven was not “Heaven.” The shredded pork with bean curd and chives ($18.95 plus tax) did not have chives. As one can see from the photo, they used green onions instead. And so the onion taste is more pronounced than if they had actually used chives. But more egregious was the rice. It was not light and fluffy but had the texture of rice scraped from the bottom of the rice cooker. The chicken velvet corn soup ($6.95) was decent but couldn’t make up for the rest of the meal.

Came here to try ribs. Lots of meat compared to other venues. Also the most tender I've had as far as chinese ribs. Taste is on par with our favorite place in Cinatown. We order several dishes. Grand Marnier Shrimp, Lo Mein, Fried Rice, Mushrooms, and Fish Filet. All were delicious though the serving size were smaller than than we expected for the price. The service was friendly and courteous. If you likecribs, give this a try.
