"Take your regular takeout spot, and throw it into the proverbial trash. Then go to Curry Mee. The creamy, coconutty curry chicken mee at this casual Malaysian place on 5th Avenue is the type of soup you’ll crave every time you put your pajamas on. But the restaurant is also great for a low-key dinner when you want to sit in a backyard and drink a steamy green tea or a $20 bucket of beer. We usually go for the soft and shiny roti canai, and then the curry chicken mee, plus the shatteringly crisp bone-in duck in green curry. " - willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman
