Dee Phunk: Most will go straight for the classic Chairman Bao (pork belly) or the obviously tasty Birdhaus (fried chicken). But do not sleep on the Broccolino (tempura broccoli). Extremely good.

Andrea Hong: Totally lovely and adorable spot. Come for brunch with live jazz, and share the Turkish breakfast platter. Sit by the open doors w a cocktail when it's warm, or cozy up w mint green tea in winter.

Kathryn Yu: Wear good shoes, contact lenses instead of glasses, and dress lightly. Be prepared to go up and down several flights of stairs. And follow the man with the bloodstains on his clothing.
