Rodan - Bar serving Asian and/or South American food

Brian took me to Rodan when I visited him in Chicago. The most outstanding display of taters I've had in two years was a plate of wasabi tempura battered fries served with spicy peanut and honey wasabi sauces. I don't normally enjoy anything wasabi but these made a pleasant exception in my book.

COLOR - Fine Korean Cuisine

Way too tasty Korean food in Allston on Harvard Ave., one block north of the Harvard Ave. stop on the B-Line.

A plate of the sweet, spicy, deep-fried signature dish - the Chef's Special Chicken - is worth a trip by itself. One thing that stands out as truly Korean is the bottomless roasted corn tea (hot, but you can request cold) served at every table. Other things that stand out are the little girl bedroom decor, dum dums with your check, and the closed-on-Sundays policy.
