The Crab Curry was rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced with deep Thai flavors. The Curry Puffs were a surprise. I've never had anything quite like them before -- crispy on the outside with a sweet, fragrant coconut filling. The Crispy Pork Belly with fish sauce was amazing, and the dipping sauce took it to another level. And the Crab Fried Rice? Easily one of the best I've had. Everything was delicious. I can't believe every single dish was this good.

Formosa is a solid spot for some Taiwanese comfort food. I tried the cucumber salad, popcorn…read morechicken, and chicken dumplings, and overall enjoyed everything. The spice level on the dishes leaned more toward that numbing mala (Sichuan-style) spice rather than an intense heat. If you like that tingling, numbing sensation, you'll probably enjoy it. The cucumber salad was also a nice addition. It was refreshing and honestly just nice to have some vegetables alongside the heavier dishes. Overall, a tasty meal and a good spot to try if you're craving Taiwanese flavors.

Good Taiwanese food in Brooklyn! My husband and I usually go to 886 but with congestion pricing, we…read morewere very happy to find another good Taiwanese spot in Brooklyn. We ordered the beef noodle soup, pork chop over braised pork rice, pork chive dumplings, and cucumber salad. The beef noodle soup and pork chive dumplings were our top two favorites from everything we ordered today. The beef was on the chewy side and I liked how they added radish and carrot, which reminded me of what my mom cooks at home. Their pork chive dumplings were delicious. We got the pan-fried version which added a nice crispy texture on the outside. It also had vermicelli inside, which is how many authentic Taiwanese dumplings are made. The dumpling skin was very thin too!

Everything I got was based on what they suggested. Got the Hat Yai fried chicken sandwich which was as good as one could get - crispy and juicy, topped with sour pickles, in a soft bun. Slightly spicy, but would appreciate even more spice. The yuzu sake splash - delectably light, citrusy, refreshing Pandan French toast was custardy with a subtle pandan flavor. Perfect to share or if you have a brunch sweet tooth. But my favorite bite was my friend's Krapow smash burger - spicy, salty, savory, herbaceous with Thai basil goodness. The optional duck egg makes it luxurious. I will be back for this.

While wandering through Bed-Stuy on a weekday evening, my husband and I decided to try out this new…read moresushi spot. It wasn't terrible--but I had a lot of mixed feelings. Food: 3/5 I'm a huge sushi fan, so I was excited when I saw a deluxe sashimi set on the menu. Unfortunately, it didn't quite hit the mark. The scallop was thinly sliced and lacked the rich texture I was hoping for. The salmon and other cuts were decent, but short and oddly shaped--chunky yet small, which made the whole presentation feel a bit off for something labeled deluxe. We also tried to branch out and ordered the short rib entree. For $21, it was shockingly small--definitely a single-person portion, not sharable. I added extra ikura to a salmon donburi bowl for $2, but it was barely a teaspoon's worth--just enough to say it was there. Oddly, the salmon slices in that bowl were thinner than the sashimi we had just eaten, and overall, it left me still hungry even after sharing a maki roll. Lastly, my husband ordered a green salad, which somehow took the entire meal service to arrive. When it finally came, it was just plain romaine, cucumbers, radish, and dressing. For a dinner that clocked in at over $150 (after tip), we definitely left underwhelmed. Service: 3/5 This part wasn't bad, just confusing. We were seated quickly, but the pacing of the meal was strange. Our seaweed salad and soups came out promptly, but the green salad came last, after the hot dishes and nearly after my husband finished eating. Also, a small thing--but when I'm paying $16 for four oysters, I want to know what kind they are. The menu just said "West Coast oysters," but our server couldn't tell us the variety or origin. Not a huge deal, but it added to a general lack of polish that didn't quite match the pricing. I don't think I'd return. For the price, there are better sushi options in Brooklyn with higher quality, better portions, and clearer service. Still, I appreciate new spots opening up in the neighborhood, and I'm always happy to try something new. Hopefully they refine the menu and service with time.

Izakaya Tenzo is a welcome addition to the BedStuy food scene. They'd been on my radar for a while…read moreand we stopped in on a Saturday evening when we wanted dinner but not anything too heavy. This fit the bill exactly. We started with the salmon belly carpaccio which I'd say isn't really a carpaccio because the salmon isn't sliced as thinly as you'd expect. But! I mention that just to set expectations. Nomenclature aside, it's an excellent appetizer. Served in a truffle and ponzu sauce, the salmon is lightly seared which yields two different textures to the fish. It practically melts in your mouth. Highly recommend this dish. For my entree I went with the trio don, which is 6 pieces of sashimi served over your choice of plain or sushi rice (sushi rice for me). The fish was fresh and flavorful. The portion was perfect for me. My boyfriend ordered a yellowtail roll and enjoyed that as well. We also shared a carafe of the cold house sake. I'd definitely come back and try more items on the menu. It's great for sharing and trying new dishes. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the prices were very reasonable.

I went to Shan a few nights ago and had to leave a review. My friends and I were in the area and…read morewanted to grab a bite somewhere but didn't know where to go. I just pulled up Apple Maps and searched for food nearby and Shan popped up. We were actually in the mood for some Asian cuisine so when we saw "Szechuan cuisine" in the description we knew we had to give it a shot. As soon as you walk in, your attention is pulled to the elegant cocktail bar and beautiful mural of a mountain behind it; I loved the vibe of the place. I ordered the pork dumplings in chili oil to start followed by Chungking Spicy Chicken and they were both delicious. The portion for the chicken was also quite shareable; I ended up needing help from the rest of the group to finish it . Also keep in mind this is an authentic Szechuan restaurant; when they say something is spicy, it's spicy! Luckily they have some refreshing options for dessert that feel quite soothing after all the spice. Not only was the food delicious but the hospitality was exceptional as well. For example, the staff was always smiling and quite attentive. If a glass of water was almost empty they would refill it without the need to ask. When I accidentally dropped my chopsticks they immediately picked them up and replaced them. All in all I had a great time and highly recommend this spot, definitely coming back!!

MUST TRY: Kra Pow Neur -- 5/5…read moreCrying Tiger -- 4.7/5 Beef Shank Massaman -- 4.6/5 ALSO GOOD: Gui Chai (Chive Pancake) -- 4/5 Chicken Satay -- 3.8/5 Andrew and Thomas originally wanted Italian, but the wait was somehow 4 hours, so we ended up here instead. Very glad we did. The Kra Pow Neur was easily the best thing we had and a legitimate 5/5. The short rib was insanely tender, full of umami and slightly sweet flavor, with a really prominent crust without being tough or dry at all. It also wasn't really spicy despite all the chili listed in the dish. This is the thing I would absolutely tell someone to order. The Crying Tiger was also excellent. Properly cooked strip loin, prepared exactly how we asked, with toasted rice powder, fried garlic, sticky rice, and Thai sauce. Again, not spicy at all. Honestly one of the better steaks I've had. The Beef Shank Massaman was another standout. The sauce itself was decent, but the beef shank was extremely tender, well seasoned, and paired really well with it. The chive pancakes were good too. Crispy, served with sweet soy sauce and fried shallots. I thought they were solid, but Andrew was defending these things like his life depended on it, so maybe you'll like them even more than I did. Chicken satay was probably the least exciting dish. The chicken itself was pretty basic, but the peanut sauce was definitely above average. The experience was easy. We ate at the bar, which is actually big enough to comfortably eat at, the food came quickly, and there were no problems. Honestly I'd probably choose the bar again because it's easier to keep adding dishes without trying to flag down a waiter. Not really a value spot, but the food is good enough that you probably won't be upset about what you spent. Love love love the food here. Food: 5/5 Experience: 4/5 Price: 3/5

5/5 Some of the Best Bowls I've Had -- Anywhere…read more I ate here twice in one day -- that should tell you everything. This place is the real deal. The flavors are bold, layered, and ridiculously satisfying. The first bowl I had was loaded with crispy chicken katsu over a rich, velvety curry. The veggies were perfectly charred, the fried onions added the right crunch, and the portion was generous without feeling heavy. Paired with the kale salad (which is shockingly refreshing and not overdressed), it hit every note. Came back later for the ramen, and honestly... it might be some of the best I've had. The broth was deep and savory without being salty, the chashu had that perfect caramelized char, and the soft-boiled eggs were spot-on with a creamy yolk. The corn, seaweed, sprouts, scallions -- all fresh, vibrant, and balanced. You can tell the ingredients are treated with care. Service is friendly, the space is clean, and the food comes out hot and fast. You can tell there's real pride in what they're serving. If you're anywhere near this place, do yourself a favor and go. And if you're like me, you might end up going twice in a day.
