Taiwanese restaurant · Long Island City

"As the name suggests, this casual Taiwanese counter-service spot in Long Island City does make yummy dumplings. The fried chicken is even yummier. It’s incredibly moist on the inside, but so crispy-crunchy on the outside that the sound of every bite reverberates inside your skull. Scattered with fried basil leaves, the popcorn chicken in particular should be categorized as a controlled substance (and you should spring for the eight piece order). A choice of dips includes the signature basil aioli—which is also put to excellent use in the fried chicken sandwich." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick
