Dangerous Neighborhood Blew Our Romantic Date

by tekpr at Citysearch

Driving to Furenzu was an interesting experience and downright dangerous. The reviews on CitySearch said nothing of bringing a weapon for protection as you drive down Adeline. The restaurant was so cute, and looked inviting. But there was NO way I'd get out of my car in that area.

There's room for improvment

Cozy and good service. However, the food is mixed. We ordered 4 dishes--spicy chicken wings, honey ribs, skirt steak, and catch of the day. We love the spicy chicken wings and the honey ribs. Skirt steak was overcooked (charred, to be precise) and bitter (perhaps too much cumin). The catch of the day was a piece of really thin sauteed seabass soaked in white balsamic vinegar. They fish was bony and a bit too greasy for my taste.

Overall, it was just an okay experience. If you are looking for really good Asian food and do not care much about the atmosphere, look elsewhere.

Nice atmosphere

Great date spot. Very cozy and warm interior. Has that hidden feel to it still. Also, impress your date with a flambe prepared tableside. The dishes were good for the most part. The only one that was off was the marinated tofu. It basically tasted like smoked cheese. Weird, I know. The other dishes were good and the service attentive.
