"I wanted to eat something that was both soothing and new, so I thought try a new Asian restaurant, maybe soup or appetizers. I liked it. Batik specializes in dumplings. I rarely buy dumplings, so I was a little insecure. Then I saw that they had ALSO a disgusting soup! Just what my stress levels have ordered. I have the chicken/shrimp/cilantro dumplings in the soup. It came in a charming cast iron pot (see Pic! . I was glad I had the soup. The dumplings were tasty, but I felt that they were better when I diverted them into the broth before everyone bite! The soup itself was quite mild. Probably expensive for most Americans, but I liked it was gentle on the stomach. It was absolutely shocked full of cabbage, carrot slivers and noodles. I don't know what kind. Yummy. I couldn't finish my part, but it was very satisfying! A few reviews here mention the waiting time/server. He was very nice, a little slow to take my order, but the food came shockingly fast, and he was good in every respect. Nice area too. Plan to return to lunch!"
