About
A pan-Asian kitchen tucked into the backstreets behind Sindang Station.
The warm sourdough with truffle butter makes a strong opening: the butter brings a pronounced truffle aroma and a nutty richness, enough that diners describe it as almost a dish in itself. Dip in while the bread is warm, then share a beef tartare tart, where a crisp base meets tender wagyu and a smoky note. Both work well as small plates rather than a meal on their own. For something more substantial, the corn-based gnocchi has a chewy bite and deep sweetness under a rich sauce. Avalon pairs small pasta with abalone, keeping the shellfish’s chewy texture in a balanced sauce. Seafood dishes are generally praised for letting their main ingredient come through without heavy sauce; the lamb is another option, with a gochujang-style sauce that makes it approachable even for people wary of lamb. Leave room for olive ice cream: it starts mildly sweet, then turns nutty and distinctly olive-like. This is a sharing-and-wine kind of dinner. Order several small plates, and put in your main-course order at the same time; mains can take a while, and some diners report long gaps between dishes. Wine is available by the glass, and staff can suggest pairings. A Catch Table reservation is recommended, especially for a special occasion. The restaurant serves lunch and dinner Tuesday to Friday, dinner only on Saturday, and is closed Sunday and Monday; weekday service pauses from 14:30 to 17:30. The warm, modern room and open kitchen suit dates, anniversaries and dinners with friends, but the space is small. Tables can feel close, and busy Friday or weekend evenings get loud; portions are also on the small side for the price. Choose a weekday visit if conversation matters, and allow time rather than planning a quick meal.
