RESTAURANT REVIEW
This updated version of a Chinese restaurant comes to us courtesy of world dim sum champion Joe Ng and his partner, Ed Schoenfeld. The duo show their irreverent side with dishes like Manila clams and Louisiana crawfish in a lemongrass lobster broth, or an egg roll made with pastrami from Katz’s Delicatessen. But the two demonstrate a more serious approach with dishes like crispy smoked chicken with garlic and sautéed lobster, egg and chopped pork, Ng’s personal take on lobster cantonese. Even the sides have been updated; for example, the egg fried rice has been larded with Benton’s bacon.
