BTW, their bakery is catercorner from the restaurant and absolutely worth a visit. Inside, the decor is simple-not Spartan-comfortable and functional. The tables are spaced nicely to provide privacy for each group. The evening that we were there, the sound level was comfortable. We could easily have a conversation around the large table. Our main server Lizzy was great. She has an amazing energy and smile that is so inviting. You're already enjoying dinner before you even order. We were 6 people and so we could order a wide variety of dishes. Some of my favorites were the scallion pancakes, lobster rice rolls, clam and basil and marinated cucumbers. There are enough choices for a vegetarian, pescatarian, but not for a vegan. We walked out satisfied and really happy. And then walked across the street to the bakery!

Overall: 4 stars…read more Michelin Guide modernized Asian cuisine that takes classic dishes and gives it an upscale twist. The offering is very tasty Chinese food that executes the flavors and techniques well, while also fitting into the Brooklyn atmosphere of service and vibes. Marinated Cucumber - Pays homage to a very home style marinade that is boullion forward; the roe and fried onions add significant texture and color that give the otherwise simple dish a lot of life. Pan Griddled Buns - Classic street food comfort elevated in both flavor and presentation; the buns have a crisp texture on the outside with an impressive amount of soup inside. The chili flavor and crunchies on top help elevate this dish as well. Boba Pancakes - Intensely sugar forward dish perfect for those with a sweet tooth. The pancake is fluffy and absorbant, and is the perfect medium to consume with that tender brown sugar boba. The oolong whipped cream is a light contrast, and the subtle notes of the tea are distinctly tastable. Hibiscus Iced Tea - Beautifully decorated with both a lychee and candied flower to make this a worthwhile cocktail. I like the subtle flavors of the tea and lychee blend that make it restrained and not too overpowering. Green Tea Shot - Fantastic petite sized cocktail that has a soothing blend of easy to palette flavors. I think this could honestly work well mixed in this Hibiscus Iced Tea.

The beef oil noodles gave big chicken plate vibes (iykyk) but with beef Mushroom salad was a little different than the regular woodear salad - delish!! The main star of the show imo was the fried tangyuan - delicious creamy ice cream with a crispy mochi-y sesame ball of goodness!! Cant wait to come back and try their other items! Great cocktail list, great service, great vibes, smaller spot but has one bigger table to accommodate a bigger party! Also, didn't know but it's by the same team behind 888 in st marks!

Faves at our dinner table were the cold sesame noodles, wontons, and pork jowl. IMO you don't need the fried rice so just get the jowl as an app, not a protein add-on. I wished the BDSM chicken had more dark meat, but it was also really well fried and flavored. My husband and I also both wished the fried tofu app fully went stinky tofu, but I get why that's not on the menu here. Pork hock croquette was just ok and the huadiao egg tofu could've been better served over rice vs with wonton chips. Pea shoots were solid but it's hard to mess that up. Husband wished the wontons were in more of a chili oil than the sesame sauce but the wontons themselves were really delicious. Want to try 886 next time!

Really tasty. I tried the scallion noodles, vegetable dumplings, century egg with tofu, and…read moreTaiwanese mochi. The noodles were my favorite dish - hearty and flavorful, with a pleasant texture and plenty of aromatic flavor. The dumplings were pan fried, with a well seasoned filling and slightly crispy texture. The century egg and tofu was nice, with strong flavors from the egg balancing against the mild tofu. And the mochi was a nice and simple sweet end to the meal. My partner also enjoyed the la rou fan. The bill came to $72 after tax and tip, which is pretty reasonable for the huge quantity of food (we definitely ordered too much). For sure worth a try.

My sis-n-law and her now husband reserved this place for a wedding rehearsal dinner. This is one of…read moretheir favorite places, and they fell in love here during the pandemic before it was a brick and mortar place. So they shared it with us all. The staff greeted us right away and shared a little about what makes this place and the food so special. We had a pre-planned menu that was so good! And so much food! The flavors on everything continued to amaze the table. I could rant about the chicken, but I'll just put a plug in for the cheddar cornbread! Get it!! One thing I loved was the self-serve water station had two spouts--one for still and one for sparkling. Brilliant and thoughtful. So glad we came here!

We got the…read moreclassic sando, the salted egg quarter chicken, and the chili half chicken with chicken salt fries and dirty friend rice on the side. The classic sando was pretty big and I really enjoyed how the crunchy chicken paired with the soy sauce pickles. The sandwich was perfectly moist from the juicy chicken and the house sauce and definitely worth a try when you come. (7.5/10) The salted egg chicken was super unique. I enjoyed how the umami taste of the salted egg and would definitely recommend this to those looking to try something new. (8/10) As a spice lover, the chili half chicken was definitely my favorite. The chili sauce that it is coated in was divine and you can tell that the chili oil is made in house with a unique taste. Also the half chicken came with both dark and white meat and both pieces were equally as tender and juicy. (9/10) The chicken salt fries were addicting and the dirty fried rice was one of my favorite parts of this meal. (8.5/10) The staff was super friendly and helpful with the menu and the seating is limited. Would definitely come back on my next trip to NY!

Absolutely authentic flavors directly shipped from Taiwan! The beef noodle soup tastes just like a…read morechildhood memory, featuring generous, big pieces of tender, flavorful beef and the perfect noodle texture for this dish. Gulp provides unlimited Taiwanese pickled mustard greens (suan cai, 酸菜), and the Taiwanese popcorn chicken makes a fantastic side. I tried the braised pork rice as well- while it's southern Taiwan style (and I personally prefer northern style), it's still great. To drink, they serve traditional Taiwanese black tea (古早味紅茶). It is a bit on the light side, but still tasty. The service is quick and the staff are friendly, plus they speak Mandarin and some are from Taiwan. As you can see, it's the real deal! While Gulp's midtown spot goes for a trendy, modern Taiwanese vibe, the decor here captures the cozy, nostalgic feel of a small street-side noodle shop right by every Taiwanese's hometown. I hope they restart their Taiwanese breakfast soon!

I ordered the popcorn chicken bento box lunch special ($9.50). The portion was larger than I expected. There was a good portion of popcorn chicken, braised pork over rice, yellow pickled radish, broccoli, braised cabbage, half a tea egg, and a cup of soup. The popcorn chicken was still crunchy when I came home but I did not taste much basil flavor. There was a lot of veggies surprisingly. It was a pretty balanced bento, sometimes bentos are mostly rice. The staff were friendly and fast. I would come back to try other lunch specials.

I usually get an order of the potstickers which though greasy are flavorful and a nice side to whatever main I get. Additionally, I usually get a bento with soup which is a good combo. There is usually a bit too much rice for the amount of items it comes with. The veggies are usually a stir fried cabbage with boiled broccoli and a marinated half of an egg. For the main I usually get either the popcorn chicken or the sliced pork belly. The pork belly is pretty herty but I prefer the popcorn chicken which has a good flavor and is well fried. The flavors are nothing too extravagant or exciting but it is a quick lunch spot that is easy to order from.
