We visited Cholon, Central Park over the weekend and I couldn’t wait to check it out; this was my first time dining at the Central Park location. Cholon has my death row meal and trust me when I say there is nothing like their French Onion Soup Dumplings (we frequent the location in Denver).

We arrived at Cholon, Central Park and were seated in the main dining room. The aesthetic of the restaurant was unique & nautical with wood framing resembling waves, blue seating, and circular wood accented chandeliers.

The staff was professional and friendly - General Manager, Monica and Server, Oliva took great care of us and made sure our lunch ran smoothly. We also got to meet Marketing department heads Samantha and Tyler who were both lovely.

The Central Park Cholon location offers several different menu items than the downtown location such as sushi and several large plates. During our visit, there was even a sushi making class at the bar.

Ross and I started off our lunch with Earl Grey Tea.

The flavor profile of the black tea blend was a combination of bergamot, florals and lemony citrus.

For small plates we (of course) each had our own order of the French Onion Soup Dumplings made with gruyere cheese. Each order came with four dumplings served in bamboo steamers.

We let the dumplings sit for about 5 minutes to cool. Once cooled, I delicately grabbed one with my chopsticks and popped the heavenly dim sum piece into my mouth. Upon first bite, the chewy dough gave way to hot French onion soup broth and melty gruyere cheese - a savory symphony and a must order.

The General Cho's Soup Dumplings were made with chicken.

These doughy pockets of deliciousness were bursting with glossy broth and flavor charged with bold spice (much spicier than the french onion). A must order.

The Crystal Edamame Dumplings were made with chili-ponzu and green apple (a seasonal menu item).

These dumplings had a bouncy texture and the crystal edamame filling was granular yet fluffy. They were much lighter in substance than the French onion and General Cho's dumplings. A must order.

The Stir Fry was made with wagyu beef and vegetables.

This stiry fry was forward in soy sauce and had nice lingering heat on the tongue. The garlic and black pepper in the stir fry complemented the meaty flavor of wagyu beef and bright vegetables. The crisp bok choy had a good snap in texture against the chew of the meat.

The Tempura Chicken Sliders were served with spicy aioli.

The sliders were great and we loved that they were tempura fried. This made for perfectly textured chicken - crispy and light on the outside yet juicy in the middle.

For dessert we had the Kaya Creme Brulee made with white pepper crumble and soy ice cream.

This asian inpsired creme brulee was so unqiue and we loved it. It was a sweet, custardy spread with a warm nutty topping. The dessert had a faint taste of coconut. The soy ice cream was thick and cold against the warm vanilla custard - 10/10.

Big thanks to Cholon Central Park, Monica, Oliva, Samantha and Larry Herz for hosting us!
