Sweet Retreat focuses on Asian food and desserts

We sat at a desk within the entrance eating space, which struck us as a enjoyable, welcoming area – well-lit and with a refined however intentional Asian aptitude. Primarily based on the orders instantly previous ours, I may inform the kitchen line was operating at an affordable tempo. Quickly after, our orders arrived on the kitchen desk behind the restaurant, the place further seating was accessible.

First, I believed the visuals on all of our objects have been high notch – much more so than my favourite dishes at each Pokeworks and Tomo Poke Bowl (my standard favourite eating places). Total, the bowl of ramen was good. It has been higher within the Knoxville space, however this was definitely gratifying sufficient. The primary factor right here is that they appear to be utilizing imitation crab meat as an alternative of the true deal. I feel it could have negatively impacted their costs to take action.

As for the dishes, I preferred each (I tasted mine whereas it was contemporary). Each the cooked meats and uncooked proteins have been sturdy accents, and I preferred the way in which they separated the greens from the proteins and from one another; Most different locations combine every little thing collectively to some extent. Nevertheless, flavor-wise, I felt that each bowls have been very mild on the sauces – even my bowl, which had two totally different sauces. This can be my private choice, however for me, sauces go a good distance towards the general taste of a bowl. However even given their mild hand, I nonetheless appreciated the innate flavors and textures of each of our alternatives.
