Xyclo of Flavor

We started with the Saigon Devil Wing - chicken wings in a garlic caramel glaze. Unfortunately there is no picture because they went so fast that there was no time to take one.

I would describe them as delicious, a perfect blend of sweet and spice. My one complaint would be that the portion should be slightly larger than it was. 

 

Full of flavor, very fresh green beans, satisfying to both sense of taste and smell, great portion size. It was nice that the meal wasn't overwhelmingly full of rice.
Lemongrass Basil Chicken – chicken sauteed with lemongrass, Thai basil, chili, green bean,
coconut milk, served with rice




Italian inspired, delicious, solid flavor, large portion. This wasn't a must try dish, but it could fall into the solid and stable range, there for you when you want comfort food with a twist.
Butterfly Prawns - grilled jumbo prawns, served with garlic herb noodles

Located on Piedmont Ave in Oakland, the parking is a bit of a challenge, but the atmosphere is nice. They did a good job with the decor. It is casual dress, and perfect for date night or take out.
