Mr Lee's Bar and Grill

Red Hook Restaurant the Good Fork Will Reopen Briefly as a Chinese-American Pop-Up | Eater NY

"Operating as a two-month Chinese-American pop-up out of the Good Fork beginning March 4, Mr. Lee’s is run by 30-year-old chef Leland Yu and showcases a mix of the Chinese foods his parents and grandparents made and more American-Chinese takeout-style dishes. On the traditional side he’s offering a fragrant herbal chicken soup brewed with cloud ear mushrooms and lily buds—meant to evoke a home kitchen steaming all night—and on the American-Chinese side there are items like roasted Brussels sprouts and carrots with a sweet plum sauce described as “familiar but different,” plus a “super beefed out” and “luxurious” oxtail and tendon fried rice. Yu developed many of the dishes through pandemic-era private dinners, has organized fundraising runs for Chinatown charities, and is aiming to introduce Mr. Lee’s to a wider audience through takeout and delivery (Thursday–Sunday, 5:00–9:30 p.m.); the menu and online ordering are available online." - Erika Adams
