Bamboo Garden Restaurant
6409 8 Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11220
718 238 1122
Dim Sum (Chinese hors oeuvres) is one of my favorite meals. Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible for a small or medium restaurant to produce the quantity and variety to make this meal truly enjoyable.
Bamboo is a very large restaurant, but somehow there always a delicious smelling cart of Dim Sum coming your way. Bamboo Gardens also has some interesting variations of traditional Dim Sum fare. I.e. stuffed eggplant is served cold with a mayonnaise sauce on the side. Instead of boiled small spare ribs the ribs are broiled with taro and sauced.
Each dish costs about three dollars and five can stuff themselves for sixty dollars. The restaurant is newly decorated and clean, but there is a draw back parking is very tough

Jin has no tonic
Jin
252 Broome Street
New York, NY
212 979 0989
Jin is located around the corner from a supplier to Sushi restaurants and as expected had some of the freshest Sushi and Sashimi I have tasted. Jin is also located on the site of an old bar, the type of place most people would call a “Dive”.
The most universally accepted feature of a Dive is dark lighting and its unseemliness. The windows of Jin need a cleaning. I almost walked out when I was given a greasy, dirty, almost unreadable menu.
The focus of Jin is on its Sushi bar and it is delightful. The chef is fast, efficient and knowledgeable. I am sorry to say that is not the case for the wait staff, who’s English is minimal.
I ordered smokes eel in my dinner sized bento box ($ 18.95) and I received a single beautiful large piece of eel, but no knife to cut it. I asked for a knife, but none came. Japanese food traditional comes with green tea, but ours was missing. We both asked for tea, but the waiter delivered only one.
The fish is great, but there are other Japanese restaurants

Joya is a Joy
Joya, Thai Restaurant and Bar
215 Court Street
Brooklyn, NY
718 222 3484
We almost walked past Joya with its discreet frontage, but inside we found a large, clean, noisy and very hip dinning room with an open kitchen and an occasional DJ. There is also a much quieter delightful garden aea in the back.
Joya is very inexpensive, the highest price entrée is $ 8.95, but the food is first rate. We ordered the Mango salad, a Glass noodle dish and a Beef Curry. The portions were very large.
The Mango salad was topped with perfectly ripe Mango and the greens were flavored with fish sauce, lime and cilantro…yum. The Glass noodle dish was very large and filled with goodies. The Beef Curry was very flavorful and a little spicy, but with in normal limits and almost too big to finish. With a Thai beer a feast for $ 24!
There is no website for Joya, no reservations, no credit cards, and no air conditioning although the space was cool on a hot day. The drink list is a handwritten addendum to the menu and there seems to be no desserts, very strange.
With first rate food and an inexpensive price list Joya is indeed a find.

No Kibble Here
Bunny Chow
74 Orchard Street
New York, NY
212 260-5317
We may not think of it as such, but South Africa is a melting pot. There are English, Dutch, Native Africans and Indians. Remember, Ghandi got his start here and a Bunny Chow draws from all these influences.
Bunny Chow is a very narrow, dark small place with an immense flat screen TV. The service is friendly; indeed they really care about whether you enjoyed your dinning experience.
A bad South African joke: Rabbit and Elephant stew (one Rabbit and one Elephant) is no longer popular, why? Nobody likes Hare in their stew…yuk, yuk.
A Bunny Chow is a very thick slice of bread with the center scooped out and a curried meat or shrimp stew added, while very tasty there is some heat, and I recommend a cold beer on the side. Try the Kaasori, an Ostrich sausage, served with a garnish of salad and a lovely chutney. The chips flats were more mundane and topped with feta cheese. Warning Peri-Peri sauce is not for the faint of heart!!!
The food and service is good, the ambiance forgettable and the prices are very inexpensive. Dinner for four is about $ 120 USD.

La Piazetta, so, so
La Piazzetta
442 Graham Avenue
Brooklyn, NY
718 349 1627
Some restaurants are failures; some are standouts, La Piazzetta is neither.
Located in hot Williamsburg, the décor is surprisingly nice considering they either converted an old garage or roofed the space, between two buildings. The music is too loud making it hard to communicate with the staff. The same can be said about their website, where you can not turn the music off.
An appetizer, Panccheri vai e Vieni, tiny meatballs with Penne pasta, was very nice and rather rich, which portended good things to come. Unfortunately, the rest was mediocre.
I had pork lion with figs, at the Lady and the Fig in Napa and it was spectacular. Here the pork was cooked properly, but there was little taste of figs. Maybe the used dried rather than fresh figs. This was served with “puréed parsnip mash” mostly mashed potatoes.
The Osso Bocco was better, but the truffle risotto had no truffle taste.
Alas, I was hoping for a great selection of wonderful Italian desserts and the La Piazzetta selection was extremely limited. I assumed they do not make their own desserts, but a little more selection would be better.
La Piazzetta is a good value and two can eat easily for less than $100 and there is fairly easy street parking.

A Bad Idea with a fake French accent
Financier—patisserie
35 Cedar Street
New York, NY
212 952 3838
Maybe I am old fashioned, but a pastry shop should sell pastries, not sandwiches and soups. Financier did not loose its way, it was never on the right track. This chain thinks by giving itself a French name they can become French, Mon Dieu!!!
The pastries look like they have been sitting too long. I am sure they are not made on the premises.
The sandwiches are served on a greasy pita and have no relation to a Croc Masseur. My lamb sandwich had so little lamb, I hardly felt like a carnivore.
I guess when your financial firm is doing badly and you need lunch quickly everything leaves a bad taste

Il Fornetto, the unfortunate
Il Fornetto
2902 Emmons Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11235
(718) 332-8494
Restaurant week in Brooklyn is a fantastic time to try out new restaurants. This year we choose Il Fornetto
Il Fornetto has a beautiful location overlooking Sheepshead Bay, A big wall window allows you to watch the sailboats going by.
For restaurant week, the restaurant, offered two prix fixe meals for $ 2010, consisting of soup or salad, pasta and dessert. While inexpensive, the food was not good. The soup was tasteless and my pasta dish, penne in eggplant sauce had dried pasta ends. The pasta had obviously been sitting too long.
Truly unfortunate

Cortelyou Road now has a surfeit of restaurants and I could not be happier. I recently tried lunch at Kumo and was pleasantly surprised. Their Bento Boxes were a full meal, soup, salad, sushi, dim sum and the main course, and very tasty. The inexpensive prices also helped leave a good taste in my mouth.
Unlike Purple Yam, Kumo is unpretentious, the portions are not miniscule and the prices reasonable. I was especially impressed by there large variety of non sushi appetizers.
There is a pleasant garden in the back, but no air conditioning
I am looking forward to visiting Kumo again and again

Not a Quack
Black Duck
122 east 28 street
New York, NY
212 204 5240
The Black Duck was the best rum running ship of its time and the Black Duck restaurant does its best to live up to its name sakes reputation. It comes close.
We started with the Lump Crab Cakes, which unlike most restaurants really contained lump crab meat. The Calamari, another appetizer was thoroughly cooked, but not yet tough and indication of good things to come.
It signature dish, Crispy Duck Breast, is crispy at the same time the meat is still medium rare without being fatty, a real trick. The duck was served on pureed parsnip with and apple pomegranate reduction, yum!
Getting fresh Halibut in NYC is almost impossible, but the Black Duck’s halibut was so good it had to be fresh not frozen. Do they have a friend in Vancouver?
While, the portions were not large, the atmosphere was perfect. An impressive date place and with the Park East Hotel next door, well who knows…

A Good Borek
DJERDAN BOREK
2283 65 StreetBrooklyn, NY 11204
(718) 484-3180
This Albanian dinner (Yes, I said Albanian) looks a luncheonette. It is almost as hard to find as the country, itself being on a side street and an incorrect address on the menu. There are no hamburgers here. Instead plan to have Boreks, (similar to middle eastern Borekas ), that is a pastry that is stuffed with spinach or meat or cheese. The pastry is light and close to a waffle batter.
That’s it! Boreks make up almost the entire menu except for some wonderful desserts. A typical dessert is Baklava swimming in honey and/or Karo sauce or cake or pastry that flavored in the same way.
Boreks cost about $4 each and two Boreks are more that you can eat

Noodletown is not the place you want to take a date
Noodletown
28 Bowery
New York, NY 10013
212) 349-0923
After midnight and after a show or movie, when most if not all of the food places in Chinatown, NYC have closed down, there is Noodletown on the Corner of Bowery and Bayard Streets
The atmosphere at noodletown is Chinese luncheonette when it was new and it is not new now. There is no maitre d’, cooked ducks and pigs hang in the window. Soup is scooped out unceremoniously in front everyone. The waiters are constantly busy and either do not have the time or the English to greet you and certainly not to hold your chair.
What noodletown does have is good home-style Chinese food. They go through great quantities of duck and the duck comes cut up with crispy skin and most of the fat gone. The Chinese broccoli is very fresh and steaming hot and actually cut so that even a Westerner can eat it with chop sticks. All the other dishes seem to have the same attention to detail that makes a meal very welcomed.
Like I said don’t take a date to Noodletown unless you want to impress them with your ability to find good simple Chinese food.

Joe’s of Avenue U
287 Avenue U
Brooklyn, NY
718 449 9285
I was 13 years old when I first went to Joe’s of Avenue U. Even after fifty years, Joe’s a Focacceria Palermitana has not lost its Sicilian roots. Initially Joes\’s was only open for lunch. When lunch or the mid day meal was the main meal as it was back in Sicily. Gradually even Joe’s has adapted but its menu harks back to an even ancient era. A time when tomato was unknown in Italy (pre Columbus) and fish or fish sauce was the main flavoring... You can still get Pasta cchi Sardi (pasta with sardine sauce). Please note the dialect difference between Sicilian and standard Italian.
Slowly, very slowly times have changed even for Joe’s. It is now open for dinner, but credit cards are verboten. Joe’s still has the steam trays for take out for the harried Italian housewife. I can still remember the sharp yet loving ear slap I got for misbehaving
I had the Tunnina all’Agro e Dulci, (sweet & sour Tuna) my favorite of decades, and it is still wonderful. It makes you wonder why anyone would put Tuna in a can. The Vrocculi ri Rapi (broccoli rabe) and the Capunata di Milinciani ( Eggplant garnish ) are in a class by itself. The food is still terrific, plentiful and inexpensive. A full dinner for two with house wine and dessert is about forty dollars.

Not Fancy, but Good
Buckley’s Tavern has grown up what started as a local bar with food is now a real restaurant and catering hall. Unlike some expansions Buckley’s has had the sense not to change what made them special. Their menu is limited with daily specials, but what they do they do well. There is a large local crowd and the waitress’s know most by name and are often invited to sit at the table to gossip.
You can start off with Onion or Lentil Soup and an individually baked loaf of hot bread shows up. The meats are simple but always done perfectly and the Chicken Parmigana makes you wonder if Buckley’s is not really and Italian name in disguise. The portions are gigantic, doggy bags are the rule.
Dinner for two is about fifty dollars without drinks
