Fan Fried Rice Bar

Lagman House Serves Amazing Central Asian Noodles — and Other Cheap Eats | Eater NY

"This fried rice bar is not really a bar but a narrow stall with a much bigger kitchen, offering only a few seats and a nice view of Dekalb Avenue a little east of Pratt Institute. Described as “Taiwanese delicacies,” the menu actually restricts itself mostly to fried rice in several variations (aside from a handful of apps like ma po tofu, popcorn chicken, squid balls, and Taiwanese sausage). Owner Paul Chen’s sesame chicken fried rice is my favorite so far: little morsels of flavorful bird, scrambled egg, and baby fresh soy beans with nicely oily white rice. Other main fried-rice ingredients include shrimp, bone-in pork chop, pastrami, and chorizo, but it is the rice—pungent with green onions and garlic—that you’ll remember long after the meal." - Robert Sietsema
