If you’re in the mood for seafood, come to Slow Burn and try their Surf & Surf. You’ll love it! We’ve got a rich seared salmon fillet, garlicky shrimp, crisp-tender French beans and juicy cherry tomatoes. The rice part of the equation offers a choice between squid-ink and truffle-umami flavors; we recommend the former not just for its umami profile that seafood suits well, but also because its glossy black appearance lets the colorful toppings stand out more.

The food is good and affordable considering the serving size. I ordered the set, which is good for 4-5 people, and it was satisfying for our group of 6 people. Love their sisig! It was more on the crunchy side. However, some of the grilled items were a bit more more charred than necessary like the shrimps.

The food is surprisingly good! No wonder they’re always packed. Service is quick, the menu isn’t overwhelming like most Chinese tea-houses. Portions are manageable but some dishes could do with bigger servings. Worth a try and a return visit if you’ve been already.
