"At Danny Bowien’s new Brooklyn outpost, the loud music, the bright lights, and the electrically flavored food are sometimes jarring, sometimes synergistic. The first Mission Chinese Food, named for San Francisco’s Mission District, was a humble sort of experiment... In this latest phase, Bowien... The menu in Bushwick offers a pared-down selection of his greatest hits, with a few new additions... The mukbang films, it turns out, are a bit of foreshadowing for what it’s like to eat here, on a good night... Much has been made, on the Internet, of an appetizer that appears on the menu as “water pickles”... A plate of drunken noodles... Biting into a super-spicy Chongqing wing... I communed with a dish of lamb riblets... But my reverie was broken when I learned that the kitchen was out of the only dessert option, a special: schlag, or whipped cream, topped with Pop Rocks." - Hannah Goldfield
