The Best Restaurant Trends of 2025 | Bon Appétit

"Part of a growing wave of Dong Bei cooking in the US, this newly opened Flushing spot showcases the cuisine’s savory, tangy, aromatic, and warming profile—centered on meat, wheat, and pickled vegetables and bucking the trend of throat-scorching Szechuan or Esan heat. On a recent trip, our table enjoyed fried chive pockets; dry tofu sheets with hot pepper and pork; “eat with your hands” fried-and-braised pork trotters; and a deeply fragrant whole braised fish with star anise, tofu, cabbage, and vermicelli; it’s become one of my favorite Dong Bei places." - ByAndrea Strong
