Flying Fish at Firewheel Town Center

Flying Fish is a quaint seafood restaurant that had the same look and feel as a restaurant off of a wharf in San Francisco or San Diego. It's definitely a Chip and Fish feel. This particular establishment is located in Garland at the Firewheel Town Center. There's actually several good restaurants here so it's a good place to go to try out different types of food. So what does the food look and taste like?Let's start with the Cons. I didn't care for the fried catfish that much. The batter was very crispy and tastes great but the fish was well, fishy. Let's just say I thought Long John's Silver was less fishy. Now the Pros. What was surprising was that the Chicken Strip was awesome. Also, the hush puppies was very good. Breaking the hush puppies open, it had a good density and pieces of corn can be seen.

Bacon Waffle at the Original Pancake House

First the pros, the thick cut smoked bacon was fried to a crisp before being diced and added to the waffle batter. With a generous helping of syrup, this waffle tasted exquisite. Each bite awarded me a sweet, salty, and savory explosion.

And the winner is... Sorry, it's a tie. Maybe because Chef Hsu is not a full fledge Chinese restaurant. It's owned by Koreans after all. Each of these restaurants serve different menus so it was hard to judge. In the end, I ended up ordering from both. I ordered Kalbi (short-ribs) and Kimchi soup from Da Won and Cha-Jang Myun (Korean black bean noodles) from Chef Hsu. I think the Kalbi was better than the Korean Garden on Coit and Park. But I still like the Kimchi soup at Korean Garden more than Da Won. The Cha-Jang Myun was very good. The black bean was rich in flavor and the noodles were very fresh. It also had stewed beef in the black bean sauce. As for the Kalbi, the meat was thick and juicy and easily falls of the bones. In the future, I will try out the Sweet and Sour Beef by Chef Hsu.Da Won and Chef Hsu is located in the new Korean Grocery Store on the Southeast corner of Spring Creek Parkway and Custer Rd.Update: The sweet and sour beef from Chef Hsu is not bad at all.…
