New NYC Restaurant Openings in New York City: January 2025 | Eater NY

"A one-of-a-kind East Village restaurant from alums of Blue Ribbon, Bond St, and Michelin-starred Shmoné that fuses the team’s culinary experiences with their Asian American upbringings; the name references what the team describes as “a slur to describe Asian Americans who are 'yellow' presenting but culturally white due to their upbringing in Western culture.” Menu highlights include creative cross-cultural dishes such as chopped cheese krapow, shrimp wonton etouffee, and lemon pepper karaage chicken." - Emma Orlow
