"If you visit during the colder months, you might be welcomed with a serving of homemade kimchi, which I believe is the best I've ever tasted. If you don't get the kimchi, you might receive homemade redskin peanuts, which are said to help regulate blood sugar and are a nice complement if you're having rice with your meal.
Have you tried the Wood Ear Fungus with Chili Pepper appetizer? If not, you absolutely should! The tender, crunchy wood ears are marinated in chili vinegar and garnished with fresh cilantro, making for a crisp and refreshing dish. The stir-fried lotus root is another delightful side; it's lightly seasoned and has a crunchy texture similar to an apple, without being heavy on starch. The garlic and subtle umami flavors have made it one of my recent favorites.
For a shareable main dish, I highly recommend the Fish Filets with Cumin. The whitefish filets are coated in spices and dry-fried with garlic, ginger, peppers, and scallions, resulting in a fragrant and flavorful dish. Alternatively, you could try the Garlic Shoots with Preserved Pork, which features stir-fried leek greens and what I believe is marinated roast pork. This dish offers tender greens complemented by a delicious bacon-like flavor from the meat.
I strongly recommend dining in, as the food is best enjoyed fresh rather than after a long DoorDash delivery. But whichever way you choose to experience it, don’t miss out on the amazing authentic Chinese cuisine at Spice Workshop!"
