Korean-inspired dishes, spicy steamed egg, fried pork chops
"This jiggly, luscious steamed egg ate almost more like silken tofu. It was topped with loads of black vinegar, chili oil, scallion, and crunchy peanuts, making it ultra savory and spicy. I keep dreaming about that perfect bite – a clean spoonful of the egg scooped on top of a small pile of rice, letting it soak up every last bit of that addictive saucy, oily situation." - Alexandra Domrongchai
"Although it originally opened as an Austrian café in 2019, when Chef Kate Telfeyan (previously of Mission Chinese) took over she updated the all-day menu with items influenced by Korean, Taiwanese, and Sichuan cuisines. Now it includes nori fried pork chops, black pepper prawns with Korean rice cakes, and hot and sour potatoes in the evenings. Oh, and in case you haven’t heard, The Irishman was filmed here — so you know it’s got an interesting design." - devorahlevtov
"After opening in 2019 with a short-lived Austrian-accented menu, the Ridgewood all-day café became known more for its Kaffeehaus vibe — marble tables, bentwood chairs, plugged-in laptoppers — than for its food, which changed all the time. But last fall, Kate Telfeyan, formerly of Mission Chinese, began hosting her weekly Vaguely Asian pop-up there, and in March, she signed on as chef-partner. Now, friends basking in the sun at sidewalk tables that wrap around the corner have access to a daytime menu of custard buns, savory tofu pudding, and butter-bean crêpes. Sturdier specials, such as a whole branzino with chiles and soy, teased a dinner menu that launched in early June. —Erika Adams" - Eater Staff
