Hey everyone, we have an announcement to make!

Starting 8/21/21, we require *ALL* guests to provide proof of vaccination if you wish to eat either indoors or outdoors. We accept proof via vaccine card, an NYCGOV app, etc.

TAKEOUT ORDERS: Please kindly wait outside the restaurant after your order! Our staff will find you outside to pass along the food when it's finished :)!

Thank you all for understanding-- with these changes we will surely be able to fight off any new COVID-19 waves and make NYC a safer place.

Stay safe, and have a great weekend! Please let us know if there are any questions.

Feeling hungry today? Stop by to try our Bak Kuh Teh-- a rich and fragrant herbal soup with lots of goodies on top including: pork ribs, pork stomach, tofu puffs, mushrooms, and more! This dish is making a comeback for our weekend special so taste it while you can!!

To pair with this dish for dessert is our new kuih: Kuih Salat! Similar to our Kuih Talam, it has a sweet pandan custard layer on top and a salty sticky rice on the bottom! We hope you guys can try these out 😋

Our Eater 38 list of standout restaurants is finally updated to answer that timeless question: “Can you recommend a restaurant?” It’s a curated list covering all five boroughs, showcasing the stunning diversity of the city’s dining scene at all price levels. Even if things have changed since the pandemic hit with QR-code menus, plexiglass shields, temperature scans, and more, the Eater 38’s core value hasn’t changed. ⁣
⁣
We’ve added many venues that have stepped up their game or that we’ve previously overlooked, including street carts, food trucks, and one heralded pizzeria in New Jersey. Only some of these restaurants offer indoor options, but all of them offer at least one of the following: outdoor dining, delivery, or takeout.⁣
⁣
Don’t be disappointed that your favorite restaurant isn’t on this list. Removal from the Eater 38 does not mean a restaurant isn’t still awesome and won’t return in the future.⁣

Our outdoor dining in full effect!

A reason to celebrate: In April and in partnership with .nyc we cooked and provided 6000 meals (300 meals a day 5x week) for our neighbors in need of meal assistance and also to NYC Health Gotham/Goveneur! When we first started the program, we thought we would be able to bring on more people from our team to help but given that most are in HS, parents felt more at peace having their kids them stay at home.

So it ended up being just the two of us where Kyo would be in the kitchen cooking up the meals then passing them off to Moonlynn to assemble and pack up front. In addition, we were both balancing our regular takeout service—needless to say it was a bit anxiety inducing 😅 As time went on we were able to bring on 1-2 more people(woohooo!) from our team to help balance, cook up and pack and it’s been so rewarding 🎉🎉🎉

“Every family in Malaysia has their own kopitiam,” says Kyo Pang. “It probably started with your grandfather, who brought your dad, and then your dad brought you, and the owner probably knows everything about your family...”

In Malaysia, the kopitiam, or a mash-up of “kopi,” or coffee in Malay, and “tiam,” or shop in Hokkien, is more than just a café where high-octane, hand-pulled coffee and simple dishes like fish ball soup and kaya butter toast are served all day. It’s also a place passed down through gener...

We’ve been blessed to be able to do what we love on the day-to-day. As our small business grows, we feel it is both a responsibility and a privilege to be able to give back to the beautiful community of Manhattan’s Lower Eastside and Chinatown. Our give back initiative is a way we’d like to thank our community who’ve been there for us with their support since we opened and, most importantly, it’s our way of saying ‘thank you’ to the neighborhood that gifted us our staff and team.
Each month, we’ll gift a full meal to a group of local individuals whether from a non-profit, a startup (we understand how challenging it is to launch a new business), after-school program, a community sports coach, family, etc.
We hope we’re able to do our part in providing a comforting meal to our commendable recipients and would love your help in our selection process. When nominating, please keep in mind the nominee’s role in the Lower Eastside and Chinatown community, whether you believe they should be rewarded for stewardship or are facing hardship. The more details, the better!
