The Braised Shop Opens in East Village, Serving Taiwanese Street Food Luwei - Eater NY
"East Village is now home to another Taiwanese restaurant, this one focusing on the braised street food called luwei. The Braised Shop is a tiny, counter-service restaurant from first-time restaurateur William Tabler and Kris Kuo, who also owns popular and critically acclaimed Chinatown spot Taiwan Bear House. Like Taiwan Bear House, the Braised Shop offers a simple menu. But here, the focus is on luwei, a method where various ingredients get braised in a broth. Options include pork belly, beef, fish fillet, broccoli, corn, and other proteins and vegetables. Each one starts at $2.50, and diners can choose as many as they want. All of it goes on top of noodles, the way it’s eaten in Taiwan." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
