Best Restaurant Dishes Eater NY Editors Ate This Week, October 27, 2025 | Eater NY

"I think this new chicken spot from the Thai Diner team may be turning out the city’s best new tofu sandwiches, but the Mommy Royale with crispy tofu ($10) is the one that won me over. Playing on a fast-food classic, the sandwich layers a vibrant orange Mommy Sauce, a melty slice of cheese, and pickled mustard greens that add an essential tart, slightly bitter jolt. The ratio of fillings is perfect — juicy yet crispy tofu, gooey cheese and sauce, and slightly crunchy mustard greens and onions — and, paired with fries with a turmeric-laced toum-style sauce and a not-too-sweet Thai iced tea, it was a meal I started to miss while I was still eating it." - Stephanie Wu
