EXPLAINING THE DIVERSITY OF ASIAN CUISINE 

Asian cuisine is known to be incredibly diverse due to the wide range of ingredients Asians use. Additionally, the extensive use of an array of spices, sauces, and cooking techniques ensures the complexity of the flavors. It's why there is a seemingly never-ending variety of dishes to explore. Whether you prefer spicy, sweet, or umami flavors, there is something for everyone in Asian cuisine. 

Here at Pangaea Grill, we aim to meld the complex Asian flavors with Western-style dishes to create a unique and diverse menu that everyone loves. 

A VARIETY OF BREAKFAST FOODS

At Pangaea Grill, we believe in providing a wide variety of options— this is also reflected in our breakfast menu. From light breakfast foods like smoked salmon to crab cake benedict, our breakfast menu is full of delectable options. 

However, our diverse Asian cuisine outshines the rest. We offer varieties like dumpling egg soup and kimchi fried rice to satisfy anyone’s palate. The deep flavors of the dumpling broth, the sautéed pork in the fried rice, and the rich mandu of the kimchi and tofu soup make these dishes extraordinary. We even offer Korean cocktails to really diversify the flavors. 

DIVERSE APPETIZERS TO IGNITE YOUR HUNGER 

At Pangaea Grill, we believe that appetizers can affect your entire dining experience. That’s why we showcase the diversity of Asian cuisine on our menu.
