Nai brother LiC

The Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week, October 2023 - Eater NY

"Caroline Shin, an Eater contributor, wrote this month that there are “a thousand ways” to order fish soup at Nai Brother. I stopped by the new restaurant this week — and think it could be more. Suan cai yu, a sour fish stew with pickled mustard greens, is offered in nine different preparations, but add-ins like beef, snakehead fish, and instant ramen make them infinitely customizable. Of the three bowls we ordered, the original soup was the clear winner (around $23 for a shareable portion). In addition to boiled fish, the dark green broth bobbed with potato slices, tofu skin, red chiles, and Sichuan peppercorns. It had us puckering, sweating, staining our shirts, and smiling the whole time." - Eater Staff
