Super Peach - Westfield Century City

[namstermonster]

I was there yesterday for a late dinner and with the help of mostly negative reviews our expectations were low low, and we ended up with a pretty decent meal.

Ordered fried chicken, sweet potato wedges, beef skewers, pork belly, wagyu kimbap, and chocolate cake. Our faves were definitely the sweet potato wedges followed by the chicken wings. The wedges had a seasoning that was reminiscent of Jack in the Crack’s seasoning on (maybe jalapeno poppers? not sure as it’sbeen decades) - something familiar. Like someone said previously, it’s definitely not a restaurant to come out of your way for but if you’re already at the mall I think it’s one of the better options there.

Your experience is making me wonder if I got the non-spicy tuna roll by accident when we went.

They’re getting awfully cutesy with the names!

“The middle—things that are normal, things that are just good, not great—are more intriguing to me than ever before.”—Dave Chang talking about Super Peach, about seven minutes in:

The same could have been said about Majordomo. The complacency and neglect have been evident for years.

Majordomo’s been consistent for me. Defintely not what Chang means by the middle.

Went here for dinner the other night on a whim, as I happened to be at the CC mall playing padel. We had planned to go to Din Tai Fung, but there was a 2-3 hour wait. Yes, I know you can get in line via the Yelp waitlist ahead of time, I just forgot to do so.

It was better than I expected. None of the food was bad, some of it was great. The weakest point was the service, which was a tad lacking both in attentiveness and knowledge/detail.

It’s certainly better than the average mall restaurant. I would still pick Din Tai Fung most of the time, but it’s a nice addition to what is a surprisingly good mall dining scene.

Sesame Marinated Cucumbers
Light and refreshing. I would still pick Din Tai Fung’s cucumbers over these, but these were decent.

Savory Donut
It looks like an empanada with katsu breading. Tasty though unremarkable for the first few bites, then it gets old. Maybe worth trying if you have a large enough group where everyone can have one or two bites, not worth getting with a smaller group.

Really Spicy Bluefin Tuna Kimbap
Echoing what others said, this was absolutely not “really spicy”. It was just barely spicy. And I say that as a white guy with a low to moderate spice tolerance. That said, it was tasty. Well made and the ingredients seemed fresh.

Australian Wagyu Beef Kimbap
Usage of the word “wagyu” gave me pause - are they just chasing clout - but this was really great. Tender, flavorful, well seasoned beef.

Quinoa & Greens Bowl, add Shrimp Skewer
This is what I wish a bowl at Sweetgreen tasted like. High quality ingredients, plenty of sliced properly ripe avocado, well cooked shrimp. I don’t eat mushrooms but my companions said the pickled shiitakes were fantastic. Nice mix of flavors and textures. This ain’t no slop bowl.

Grilled Striped Bass
Well cooked, no residual fishiness, sauced nicely but with appropriate restraint. The skin was even slightly crispy! Accompanying broccolini was decent.

Lobster Noodles
Enjoyable, but not worth the price IMO.

Crushed Fingerling Potatoes
Fantastic crispy exterior and soft interior. Cooked wonderfully, but just a little over salted/seasoned. I imagine you could ask them to go light on the salt/seasoning.

Herbal Tea
Herbal tea is herbal tea is herbal tea.

This was plenty of food for 4 people.
No alcohol, just the tea.
$75 per person after tax and tip.

Went back to Super Peach on the curiosity of the review and also because DTF had a 2 hour wait at 4pm on a weekday. I think the menu had been sharpened and I really enjoyed the take on tangsooyook, which is usually a weakness at most Korean jjangmyeon places. The curry donut had also had its curry flavor upped and presentation was better than before. Unfortunately, the majority of ordered dishes were mediocre at best - especially the jjangmyeon, which had too weak of a sauce coupled with overcooked noodles that were mushy at best.

We appreciated the effort put into the ssam sets, which came out looking really nice, but the pork belly was presented in these large chunks, which aren’t suited for a ssam, which needs more bite size pieces that you can wrap up. It was more of a hindrance to actually eat. The cucumbers, kimbap, and potatoes were as expected and not terribly interesting. I’m most likely over critical, given that I instantly compare the Korean-focused dishes to the better value places in Ktown but I won’t come back to Super Peach even if DTF is still slammed.

Within that mall, there’s better dining mileage to be had at Very Thai…

[keht5]

Yes, definitely had a better time at Very Thai! I have only had a few dishes there and need to go back more before doing a trip report.

Fun meal here last night:

Started with the beef kimbap, wings, cucumbers, and the savory donut. The donut was definitely the winner: crunchy outside, tender curry inside– flavorful and unexpected! Everything else was done well. Cucumber salad was slick & slimy, which I kind of enjoyed.

Mains were jajangmyeon, ground beef ssam, caesar salad, and a side of crispy potatoes. I agree with other folks about the jajang – it lacks body. there’s romantic tension between the sauce and the noodles, but it’s never consummated. the lil pork bits were good! the tangsuyuk was not for me. too saucy. pieces too big.

the ssam was all we ever needed. the ground beef set eats like koobideh. very enjoyable. kimchi was sweeter than i normally like, but it all came together well.

i thought the service was warm and attentive., and the servers/kitchen really nailed the pacing. when we ran low on lettuce and perilla for the ssam, the staff was timely with a re-up.

next time I’m seeing a dinner-adjacent movie at the mall I’d probably sit at the bar, grab some martinis, and focus on the ssam (or, realistically, try Very Thai).

That’s a very fine and evocative sentence right there.
