A high-end restaurant in the 626?! Ok, you caught my curiosity. We needed to find a suitable place to take our fancy overseas visitor to dinner, when we stumbled across 19 Town. The $$$$ is a bit exaggerated but I can see how some folks would categorize it as such (depending on your selection). We had a grand old time at the big table in the restaurant's corner table. Our wait staff brought out the menu, our food & beverage expert ordered all the best items (see photos with captions), along with some delicious drink concoctions (Woodland = Mezcal base, Jade Dragon = Chinese Baiju base, and the Weirdo = Sichuan Baiju base) and wow were we pleasantly surprised! All of the food we ordered was delicious but the top 2 standouts for me were: 1. Flaming pork jowl ($28 at the time of this review): Fresno pepper, peanut butter, Everclear 120 Moonshine. Nice tableside display and the food is piping hot and the meat was tender 2. Slow-cooked beef ribs ($88 at the time of this review): beef ribs, grilled pineapple, and Fresno peppers. The presentation and arrangement was excellent, and the flavor made the bites all the more delectable. tl;dr - great food, great service, chill ambiance. Definitely worth a try!

Everything was delicious and servers were very attentive and professional. Top items were definitely the scallop ceviche and ox tail stew! Extremely fresh and the stew was super beefy and filling. Duck breast with vegetables are also a solid choice for a smoky taste and visual aesthetic. Don't recommend the duck leg as it wasn't too big with portion and a little tough. Overall great experience and food with a nice interior upscale vibe.

Saturday dinner at 7 pm - shishito numbing tofu, flaming pork Jowl, rosemary-smoked duck leg, house special fried chicken wings, black pepper beef short ribs, honey garlic pork spare ribs, beef tongue fried rice, grilled asparagus, and a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc Service: friendly staff Ambiance: nice decor and clean Price: tends high in terms of the dish portion and business location Food quality: beyond my expectations, outstanding like the flaming pork and the smoked duck, both were phenomenal, the duck skin was super crispy and tasteful. Remarks: Very good wine and cocktail selections. VIP rooms are available A positive dining experience.

Looking for a special restaurant to impress or celebrate an occasion or event ? Try this place! Cool vibe and minimalist decor once you enter this Asian fusion establishment. We were invited here by a couple who enjoy dining out. We decided to get the prix fix menu. Also, got some appetizers to start our meal. (See pics on this review .) You start off with a pineapple soda drink which was so delicious and refreshing. Salad was served next which probably was the best I've had. ( I could have had a larger portion for a meal option.) All kinds of goodies thrown into the salad which was a delight. Our appetizer of chicken wings was good as well. The chef makes the food look very appealing with the presentation. The meal was a culinary surprise . * Bring a bottle of wine and see their unusual decanter! (pretty cool) Note, there is a corkage fee of $30.

Very inventive and flavorful Asian fusion offerings in a modern industrial zen setting with table service fitting of the price tag (for 2 tasting menus, 3 drinks and 2 appetizers, our bill came out to almost $300 with tip). There's a hint of spiciness to most bestsellers so if you're into spicy, you're in for a treat--do order the szichuan margarita before anything else--thank me later. We got the tasting menu and the stars for me would be the third course (beef ribs and the lobster)... both were outstanding in a wowza sorta way if you catch my drift. The steak tartare was underwhelming but the pork jowl was pretty good. Having said all of this, would I return? Maybe, maybe not. I thoroughly enjoyed tonight though I might be satisfied with it being a one time visit. Ask me again later when my period is over.

It's so nice that you can order the chef special and split it with people so I did just that. The salad was alright and the jiaoma steak tartare was forgettable. However, the flaming pork jowl is not just for the exuberant presentation. It was so tender with crispy skin and truly the best I ever had that I only want to eat it served this way now. I also can't forget about how incredible the wok-tossed lobster tail was with the spices sneaking into each crevice of the crispy lobster. I can't believe I'm saying this but the vegetables were honestly a star of the show too for this dish. I also added on the slow-cooked oxtail and it was such a comforting, warm hug every time I took a bite because the oxtail was so tender. We ordered a few additional items like the dry-aged king salmon tartare which was good but not something I'd get again. The sauced crispy shrimp, however, was a much better option since the batter was crispy and the sauce had a nice kick. I saw a lot of reviews saying the grilled dry-aged duck was delicious, and it was, but it wasn't my favorite dish of the night despite how well it was executed. And lastly, the house-made pineapple soda was refreshing and I loved that it came with a thin pineapple spear. Even more, I loved ending the meal on a sweet note with the matcha ice cream. I had my doubts at first as a self-proclaimed matcha connoisseur, but it lived up to my expectations with its decadent rich flavor.

Service was excellent. And ambiance is very modern and spaced out so well. I like that you can order their tasting menu separately. You don't have to order a tasting menu per person at the table. Gives the chance to try other dishes. So my friend and I ordered one tasting menu and several other items à la carte. Tasting menu Pineapple salad - this was so good and refreshing! Salad - cute little side salad, nothing special Steak tartare - tasty dish Flaming pork jowl - presentation was awesome. Came out with flaming fire. And the pork was so fatty and yummy Wok tossed lobster tail - delicious! Cooked very well À la carte Shishito numbing tofu. My friend loves this but not for me Grilled octopus - it was tender, this was good Slow cooked beef tongue - too spicy for me and it was only okay Dry aged duck - best dish of the night other than the pork jowl. Black sesame cheese tart - crust was good. If you like cheesecakes, this is for you Matcha ice cream - very good
