Flavorful. Quick service. Public market vibes on point.
Came by the DUMBO location just before lunch rush. Ordered honey chili cauliflower looking for a snack that equally wasn't a meal nor a weak tease. Bingo!
Counter service was fast and friendly. No pretension, plenty of options, easy transaction. You're handed a pager so you can waddle and look for a spot to sit and find your friends. Easily located a pair of seats close by.
Food buzzed within minutes and delivered above expectations. Hot and crispy on the outside, soft and cooked inside, balanced aroma of spice with sweetness and toasty notes. Suspect they use quick fry at high temp so it cooks without soaking in excess oil.
Tasted fantastic, textures had variety (subtle crunch outside and edges, soft and firm inside. No rush no mush) temperature dictated perfect pacing to eat as it cools to perfection without burning your mouth. Tempting to inhale, best not to.
Stimulates the senses, slows you down to focus on the food, takes your palate dancing like a kind stranger at your friend's wedding. You've heard this music before, nice to have a warm newcomer show you the steps.
Lively, upbeat, entertaining, electric. Heart beat races unexpectedly, might have blushed.
The bustling market plays the perfect background to bring you together.
Excited to return for more of the menu. This could be the beginning of a wonderful dalliance.
