Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: August 26 | Eater NY

"I went to Yao (opened earlier this year by the team behind August Gatherings in Chinatown) and found a spacious, dressed-up second-floor dining room and an ambitious menu of dim sum, abalone, chef’s specials, duck, beef, lamb, pork, chicken, and fish. The restaurant has tanks, so the seafood is quite fresh; I ordered a whole sea perch (whitefish) served with chiles ($68), which was delicate and mild. Pair it with greens and a dumpling dish at the bar, or invite a group and pre-order a Dungeness crab or Beggar’s Chicken a day ahead." - Eater Staff
