• Burgers at Poppy's: "Its patties [were] delightfully salty and charred and struggling to contain a pool of gooey cheese." [We Heart NY]
• Beef tendon at Shih Lee: "Braised in a mixture of sugar, soy sauce and ginger and cooked till tender and smooth... the taste of ginger helped cut through the heaviness of the sauce." [Midtown Lunch]
• Miso ramen with chicken at Chuko: "The miso looks thicker than it is, opaque in the bowl, and all umami in the mouth. It's laden with chunks of the tenderest chicken and fresh corn bits." [Fork in the Road]
