AI summary of what 7 dish mentions say about the food
Heim H’s imo ban brioche is the standout, earning raves for its pillowy texture. Reviewers describe the food as warm, comforting, and effortlessly satisfying.
“This brisket sandwich has great bread — really good, rustic — and the brisket is very moist and tasty. But there's too much kimchi; it overpowered the meat in my bite. Conceptually it's well thought out — the acidity of the kimchi should cut through the fat of the brisket and the heavy egg yolk mayo — but the balance is off. The bread is a bit awkward to eat, stuff falls out. I'd change the bread to a ciabatta. The brisket itself is excellent, though.”

Dishes mentioned
Anelli di Cipolla
I think these are the best onion rings I've ever eaten. They're incredibly crunchy, even after sitting for a while, and they don't have that heavy onion aftertaste. They're surprisingly light. The breading is amazing, with little seeds on top — maybe fennel or black sesame. They soak the onions to remove the pungent part. These are worth the trip alone.
Smash Potato
These are really good — simple, but you can't not like them. They're warm, with the skin on, and have a slightly crunchy outside. They're like homemade fries, not too crunchy, a bit soft, with a floury coating that reminds me of a scaloppina. They're fresh, not frozen, and you can tell. I love them.
Stracco Fritto
This fried cheese is amazing. It's super creamy inside, with a slight bitterness from the cheese, and the breading is the same as the onion rings. They recommended trying it with the bitter orange marmalade — the marmalade hits you with a kick at first, then the bitterness fades. It's really tasty and creative. I'd put it in a sandwich.
Spiedino di Pollo Ruspante
This chicken skewer smells incredible and tastes great, but it's a bit small for the price — I expected two. The chicken is thigh meat, very saucy, but the outside isn't crispy enough; the sauce softens it. There are some collagenous parts that leave a weird feeling in the mouth. The flavor is good, but the texture could be improved.
IMO Ban
This brisket sandwich has great bread — really good, rustic — and the brisket is very moist and tasty. But there's too much kimchi; it overpowered the meat in my bite. Conceptually it's well thought out — the acidity of the kimchi should cut through the fat of the brisket and the heavy egg yolk mayo — but the balance is off. The bread is a bit awkward to eat, stuff falls out. I'd change the bread to a ciabatta. The brisket itself is excellent, though.
