MAKETTO: Crystal Shrimp Dumplings

These are the absolute best dumplings in the City. Steamed and served in a small bowl, these are the perfect light appetizer. Like a little shrimpy pillow.

DOI MOI: Flash Fried Beef Jerky

The name does not do this dish justice at all. A half pound of tender steak strips is glazed in honey and topped with fresh cilantro and pickled vegetables, served with a sriracha dipping sauce. This is a great afternoon snack.

COMPASS ROSE: Spice Bag

The whole idea behind Compass Rose is a white woman travelling the world and bringing back her favorite dishes. This mainly works thanks to the diversity of the kitchen staff and the fact that most people don’t know how some of these dishes are supposed to taste. The menu changes occasionally, but one dish that has become a staple is the Irish Spice Bag. A simple dish made by deep-frying chicken thighs, fingerling potatoes, bell peppers, and onions. It is served in a cute paper bag and topped with Chinese five-spice with a spicy mayo on the side. This is the perfect thing to eat before or after a night of drunken debauchery, as the Irish are known to do.
