Bong serves up a big Cambodian feast in a tiny space - Review - New York - The Infatuation
"From the couple behind a buzzy pop-up, Bong is one of the most exciting restaurants for roughly 21 diners to squeeze into right now. Even in soft-open mode, the lime-green space on a mostly residential stretch of Crown Heights practically vibrates. Someone does a little dance on their wooden stool and you can’t be sure whether it’s because of the Tierra Whack/A$AP Rocky playlist, or reaction to the oyster with strawberry mignonette and toasted rice powder, the fried shrimp in a tart pool of mango sauce, or the lightly battered fried squid, coated in velvety salted egg yolk. photo credit: Willa Moore photo credit: Willa Moore photo credit: Willa Moore photo credit: Willa Moore Pause Unmute Through a window to the open kitchen, you can see one (very pregnant) half of the couple butchering lobster, while her partner recommends a “fun, party wine.” If your party consists of four people, you could also order the whole menu along with that bottle. But if you need to narrow it down, the delightfully fatty pork chop soaking in tuk trey ping poh—a tomato-fish sauce condiment, and an impeccably moist-but-crisp whole dorade are musts." - Willa Moore
