You probably think its weird that I am writing about the food at a place mostly known for their KTV and bar. But because their menu is not limited to just bar snacks, the food at Zebra Lounge 2 is worth a mention. On top of alcohol absorbing appetizers, they have filling meals like noodles and rice.
Zebra Lounge’s small plates are mostly Taiwanese. Their Taiwanese popcorn chicken ($7.00) and spicy beef tendons ($10.00) are good. I also recommend the sauteed squid ($7.00) as the smell alone is worth it. They also have your usual american bar food like sliders, chicken fingers, and french fries.
The drink menu is extensive as well covering beers, wines, liquors, sakes, and non-alcoholic drinks. If choosing the latter, I don’t recommend any of their milk/bubble tea as it taste really watered down. But their smoothies and teas are decent.
For a more heartier meal, their Home Style Beef Noodle Soup hits the spot ($8.00). Don’t expect the quality of the authentic stuff but they do give you a huge portion and they don’t skimp out on the beef either. The beef noodle is significantly better than their other noodle soups like the Fried Pork Chop Noodle Soup which from what I heard is really bland.
What’s more awesome is just a few steps from the bar is the Shabu Shabu part of Zebra Lounge. Their prices are a few dollars more than Minnis Shabu Shabu and have less seating. However, the convenience factor makes up for it. For a restaurant that has a bar, KTV, lounge booths, and hot pot, its the ultimate hangout spot for Asians. Just stick a mahjong table in their and I will never leave.
