There are few 24-hour diners known for their food--and this certainly isn't one of them. But for ambiance, amusing kitchen banter, and ambitious dishes, 13Coins is a great place, sporting a hostess stoned out of her mind for fun!
The bustling kitchen had 2 chefs, 4 souschefs, and perhaps 4 more support. The rolicking flames/pans created a rather nice music to accompany our flat-tasting but perfectly cooked steaks.
As a note, since the kitchen is quite adhoc, our ""well-done"" fries (1"" square by 8"" long) ranged from burned to underdone, the breads were unevenly toasted, and in general any seasoning would have helped things--but it's fun to watch the whole thing happen. I am a private chef so for me this was a kick.
Overall, at $65 for two with tip, it was more fun than good. Worth doing once, B-
For steak at 1am however, a solid B.
Pros: Hostess, Dingy vibe, Steak at midnight
Cons: Adequate at best, $pendy, Underseasoned
