My friend just returned from a Eastern European tour, and wanted to come here to recapture her trip. Being a beer lover, Czech means beer so I gladly came along. On weekdays they have happy hour from 3−8pm where the Czech beer are 30% off. They do have other beers, like Corona, Peroni, Hoegaarden, but naturally I picked a Pilsner, as it’s a style of lager invented by Czech, even though I admitted it’s not favorite style. If beer is not your beverage they also have lots of other drinks, even mocktails. Our favorite dish is the bone marrow. It’s a halved bone topped with succulent shreds of oxtail and fried onion. There are some bread for us to scope the tofu-soft marrow and oxtail on, and every bite is rich and delicious. The duck leg is another winner, not too dry, and comes with some sauerkaut. For pork knuckle, I’ve only tried the German version in the past. This one is fried, with a crispy skin redolent of Chinese BBQ siu yuk. It’s a huge portion. The mustard that comes with it is a little bland though. We also get some pierogi, which is a European dumpling filled with potato. I find the pierogi here a it on the dry side. Others I’ve tried usually have some cheese inside, to give it a moister and smoother texture. I’d also like more sour cream on top, it would have helped with the dryness. Overall, it’s interesting to explore a new cuisine.
