Can't say anything less about this sandwich, except that it's probably one of the best sandwiches i've had in Austin! The crispiness of the french bread, the just-right heat from the garlic, jalapeno, and chilli, the creamy dressing, and the fresh shrimp. Top it off with the most-friendliest people you'll meet this side of i-183, and sweet and flaky cream puffs (oh that should be a review by its own!), you'll have yourself one of the nicest lunch in town.

Very daring and interesting dish. The combination of the daikon radishes and tuna slices with the very citrusy mayo-based spicy sauce will push (if not get close to) your palette to a...uhm... dare i say, gastronomical climax? ;-) Haven't been disappointed with anything from Tomo yet.

Personally I'm disappointed with this aperitif, the buttery texture and flavor of the avocado was drowned by the tequila and lime. Having it as a slushie didn't helped either. And honestly it was overpriced. It is daring to present it as an option in this world of your run-of-the-mill margharitas though. That much i'll give. But hey, maybe i'm just too used to having avocado smoothies served with chocolate syrup as a kid.

Agreed! I tried Din Tai Fung in Shanghai, and their Xiaolongbao dumplings are just roll-your-eyes-back goooooddd... Very tender dumpling skin without the starchy aftertaste, very delicate yet bold broth with perfectly seasoned meat stuffing. I don't usually like international chains, but this one is just exquisite.

Try Madam Mam's on the drag (Guadalupe Ave) across from UT campus. May not be the best ever, but definitely good enough to satisfy that craving :).
