THE STAFF ARE STARS AND FUTURE STARS.

GREAT BUNS

\

 JUST OPENED  BUT  FILLED WITH HAPPY CUSTOMERS MONTHS AFTER OTHER NEW LOCAL CHINESE RESTAURANTS  ARE TRYING TO FILL A TABLE HERE OR THERE....BUT EVEN MORE THIS IS IT.!..... This is the Shanghai Soupy JUICY Dumplings,dim sum rice cake and wow talent place the slope has been waiting for! Winning fine dining Indian got herE first but this is it! Go now or buy a stool to sit on on line when the world finds out.  THE PORK SOUP DUMPLINGS ARE AS GOOD AS ANY OF THE 712 I HAVE PREVIOUSLY HAD. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE CHEF TANGS CUCUMBER SALAD AT HWA WAN BUT THE SWEET VINEGAR MIX IS A COMPETETOR.

CURRY MEE 369 5TH AV ...PARK SLOPE.......DAY ONE

 I could feel the excitement coming from the team that pulled this together. Looks similar to the now departed Sushi house at this location. I only had time for a few tastes, but what I did taste looked good.

The vibe is also good. I started with a small appetizer of ROTI Canai with a lovely friendly pancake and a curryish soup/sauce. two small  dark chicken golf balls were perfect

The cuisine is Malaysian and so familiar dishes reflected a slight variation on the cuisines we might associate with a dish...like the wonton soup for example and the wontons themselves had a tight wrapped likable density. The veggie dumpling too was substantial but not doughy. 

Every dish was a star. Next time Shrimps ,whose pictures in the menu wearing various garbs look so good  , I believe i Will find them entertaining.

And they are different in another way: They are not closed on Mondays . Not closed on Tuesdays. So

thats a plus. everyone opens on Wednesdays....just not Mee.

COMMON on 15st and 4th Ave in Park Slope

ONE BREAKFAST AND I COULDN'T WAIT TO SHARE SOMETHING ABOUT COMMON. ... MIDDLE EASTERN FLAVORS AND  GLOWING SPACIAL ENVIRONMENT. BREAKFAST WAS ENOUGH BECAUSE AVOCADO AND MUSHROOM AND EGGS AND THE PERFECT AM SAUCE WITH PERFECT POTATO CUBES...MADE THE IDEA OF LUNCH OR DINNER HERE PROMISING . A WIDE OPEN KITCHEN AND PERFECT COFFEE  WEREJUST RIGHT AND THE BEER TAPS BEYOND THE COUNTER CALLED TO ME. SOFIA SERVED AND NOTICED MY NYU ID SINCE SHE IS A STUDENT THERE WHEN SHE IS NOT HELPING HER DAD IN HIS NEW PLACE AT HIS VOID FILLING COMFORTABLE EATERY. "I will meet you for breakfast Tuesday. Where should we go?"  Pause. Pause.  "I know a place:COMMON!" I plan dinner there soon.
