$7.50 Crispy Salt & Pepper Chicken w/ braised pork rice, string beans, pickled veggies, & tea egg (+ free black or green iced tea) was a cheap & delish Taiwanese meal.
Not cheapest compared to others in C'Town but ingredients & tastes are fresh, clean & pretty authentic..making this Vietnamese the best pho, Cha gio, Grilled Pork Chops, & banh mi place in NYC!
Sukitama Don is the most delish gyudon (thinly-sliced beef rice bowl) in my hood. ๐ Too bad they didn't give as much sauce when you take it to go.
My staple meal here is a fresh watermelon juice, roti canai, their kang kung w/ shrimp paste, Nyonya House Special jumbo prawns & Hainanese chicken w/ rice.
Best Beef Rendang Nasi Lemak & Curry Laksa in NYC from this Vendy-award winner! Get BBQ Pork (not fatty pork belly) Buns & Uncle Dumplings too. Stick w/ these Malay dishes & have an excellent meal.
Rib Eye Beef Combo (w/ spring roll & salad) here is my fave rice bowl in the area!
My #1 fave Salmon (grilled on top of curried rice) dish in NYC..timeless & consistent...even after 18+ yrs, I still crave it! I also love their curried chicken broth noodles & eggplant appetizer.
Take rice box 2 go - BEST BBQ Roast Pork (beats even HK's), roast duck, or soy sauce ckn or all 3! Ask 4 xtra sauce, side of chinese broccoli for $1 extra.
Excited to try the Dried Shrimp "Cheong Fun" (rice roll), Claypot Rices, congees & BBQ Roast Pork here
Omu soba, steak/asparagus, tofu avocado salad, crabcake, takoyaki, mentai spaghetti, garlic rice, mackerel. All delish, but my favs were 1st 4. HH 5:30-7p M-Sat $3 beer/$4 wine/$5-7 mixed drinks
A hidden gem (but not for long) with perfectly spicy Korean hot wings โ layers of heat with rich black pepper flavor โ and a full kitchen of hit-list dishes: katsu, soba, curry, bi bim bop, et al. โคโคโค
I'm so glad this is now closer to work. This location has great soba and donburi, if for some reason you don't want the excellent ramen. The kakuni ramen with Filipino style pork is amazing.
Fun 4 groups & dates, great svc (thx Amy!) & tasty & ok-priced Asian tapas, dim sum, sushi & hibachi. Loved Steam Soup Dumplings, Oink Oink Fried Rice & Taste of Asia cocktail! Worthy of repeat visit!
Best Asian fusion fast food in the area! Love the Kobeyaki burger w/ teriyaki sauce, grilled teriyaki chicken or beef bowls, udon noodle soup, & sweet potato fries w/ wasabi mayo & teriyaki ketchup!
Authentic Thai noodle joint! Pad Thai done right! Dip Jalapeรฑo sauce w/ Chive pancakes. Tom Yum Bolarn (soup noodles w/ minced pork+fish balls) + Pork Kaprow w/ overeasy egg on rice are MUST-try's!
They're stingy w/ it but ask 4 Jalapeรฑo vinegary sauce-instead of sweet soy sauces-to offset oiliness of fried Chive pancakes (like turnip cakes from Canto dimsum)
Luak Jim (app: mix of steamed seafood cakes/ balls w/ spicy seafood sauce), Pad Pukk (chicken w/ veggies in oyster sauce w/ over-easy egg on rice. Request less sesame oil) are also my MUST-try's!
Best Isan Thai food in Midtown E. Stars are Ground Chicken w/ Fried Egg, basil, garlic, & chili over rice; Egg noodle soup w/ roasted pork, lump crab meat, & yu choy + Crispy pork belly salad.
Pad Kee-Mao, Massaman curry, & Crab Meat Fried Rice, & (2) Spring rolls app are okay. No to frozen & reheated Edamame & (heavily fish-sauced) Vegetable soup apps.
My fave Thai in Manhattan only 2 blks away w/ โspicyโ (request) & distinct LOVEs: Up Spring Rolls, Pad Thai, Jeed Jard Noodle Soup, Krapow Gai Sub, Kao Nar Gai, to name a few...
Highlights include the namesake rice bowls (try the one with soft eel), chicken katsu curry (with a rich, beefy sauce), and sizzling crab omelets (drenched in heady seafood jus). ์์ธํ ๋ณด๊ธฐ
And a few more.. Massaman Curry, Lemongrass Pork Chop, Kway Tiew Gai Noodle Soup, Fried Rice Clay Pot, Mango Mousse Cake (w/ Mango Sorbet)
