***** (5 stars)
Most Asian Fusion places aren't really doing much fusion, they're just serving a variety of Asian cuisines, but at Bites there is some true fusion going on.
Edamame turned into gyoza was an interesting starter, and the Thai chicken wings were deliciously sweet and spicy.
Coconut shrimp were huge, with a delicate, not oily coating.
My favorites were the two elaborate sushi maki rolls we tried, the Maki Fresco and Crazy Dragon. Both were unique, and I'm not sure which I liked better.
Banana Wontons were a great way to finish.
There are some very creative cocktails, served with spherical ice and thoughtful garnishes. They take their bar work seriously.
I'll definitely be back to this great find.
