A dark horse great brunch spot. Malysian inspired dishes with delicious 1/4" thick cut bacon a part of seemingly every meal. Surprisingly empty during the weekend, and they take reservations.

For a unique take on brunch food, head over to Fatty 'Cue on the weekend. Don't miss the Pork Ribs or Malay Michelada. Read all about my visit on WinstonWanders below! Read more

As perfectly smoked as anything in the South. Try juicy brisket ($23) with steamed Chinese buns, or oddball items like lamb ribs with tofu yogurt ($14). + backyard pig roasts Sundays in the summer. Read more

The food here is bangin'!! Delicious Malaysian BBQ! I highly recommend their brisket (comes with bread which changes, it was once Texas Toast bit now it's delicious bao) and tater tot poutine!

Duck larb, bacon clams, chocolate thunder and choc donuts in ginger cream - all a must! Beef short rib was not tender enough and smoked chicken and eggplant appetiser had tender chicken, sour eggplant

Date-night worthy, great cocktails and crazy good BBQ meats with Asian flair including jaw-dropping bacon buns. That bacon... it haunts my dreams. Read more

For a morning wake-up call, try the Trippa Malaysiana. Brunch features comfort foods like Ricotta Flapjack Stack with smoked maple syrup and bacon and Brisket Hash with burnt ends and a fried egg. Read more

The pork ribs are probably the best I've ever had. For serious. Also loved: the cheese chili and biscuits, the sweetbreads, the kale salad. The staff here is amazingly friendly, genuine and welcoming.

Outstanding! Poached chicken, smoked brisket, desert "cheese plates" all top notch, and it's hard to go wrong on the inventive but well executed cocktails (the infused bourbon sazerac was a favourite)

Recommended: Ham, jam, butter and bread; cured arctic char; nasi ulam; roasted carrots; deep-fried bacon; buttermilk fried half-rabbit; heritage pork ribs; bacon and clams; smoked lamb shoulder. Read more

Don't miss goat pappardelle or bacon w salsa verde. And save room for dessert: You'll have the best cheese course of your life (blue/ jackfruit parfait/ honey vin) + try the uber-seasonal 'Squash.'

Get prosecco at brunch for $20/bottle. French toast with coconut creme fresh. Awesome decor and music. Bonus: skinny mirrors in the bathroom and modern toile for your 'rents.

Beer-soaked nights needn't always end poorly; pick up a fried oyster, bacon, and kimchi stuffed bao bun from midnight to 2 AM Thurs-Saturday to mop up those Millers and your head will thank you later.
Jenna Odett LaskinDecember 12, 2012
Loved the apple salad, deep fried bacon, and buttermilk fried rabbit. Tasty cocktails. Pappardelle is spicier than expected. Donuts aren't worth it, should've gone for chocolate thunder.
AskMenSeptember 15, 2011
The menu errs on the side of funky and composed with dishes including smoked goat ragu with buttermilk pappardelle, broiled sardines and poached chicken with smoked eggplant. Read more

Being for one month in New York this is the best food I had. Both products and quality are impressively high, try it. Tips? Ribs. Scallops. Brisket and tomato salad. (Hi Jack!)

Try the Rum & Coconut Water cocktail - a real double treat: served in a whole young coconut, you get to spoon the flesh out of the fruit once you've sipped your drink

Zak Pelaccio is a pork-loving genius whose food takes elements of laid-back locavorism, the slow-smoke traditions of southern BBQ, and the goodness of Southeast Asia.
Dev AnandApril 30, 2012
food is dope no doubt. just make sure you get the rum/coconut drink, eat all the coconut, then chase it down with a "one in the chamber". Hold that ice gun proud and pretend youre in "Die Another Day"
Sean KilleenFebruary 23, 2014
The west coast fashioned is amazing. Best old fashioned I've had in a long time. Spritz of scotch and homemade syrup.
Serious EatsJune 27, 2013
Some serious barbecue meets southeast Asian flavors at this small plates and cocktail spot. The brisket is pricey but worthwhile.

If you can, eat at the bar, especially if Matt is bartending. And don't bother with the drink menu - just give him a base liquor and let him work his magic. And tip well...in shots.
Tian XieMarch 2, 2013
OMFG the bacon. Get the bacon. You have not lived till you've had this bacon. Sure, the bacon might kill you, but everybody dies, not everybody lives.

The Fried Coriander Bacon with Salsa Verde is delicious! You can learn how to make chef Zakary Pelaccio's recipe in "The Better Bacon Book" created for iPads. http://bit.ly/foursq_bacon

Heritage pork ribs and the 'Cue Coriander Bacon are always favorites, as are the famed late night sandwiches, which unfortunately, are still only available in Brooklyn.

Try the ham, jam, butter, and bread. Order some seasonal vegetables. And the buttermilk fried rabbit. Top it off with some of their excellent cocktails.
Nicole CarmonFebruary 16, 2013
The Malay michelada is sooooo good. As is the pickle back shot will f@&k you up. Deep fried bacon, I'm yes, please and thank you.
Boss HoggApril 9, 2014
Goat parpadelle and laab lettuce wraps were excellent. Good ribs. Brisket and nam prak salad were not good.
Porig SalbaMay 16, 2012
Ahead of the pack with curious/inventive BBQ. Apple salad, goat parpadelle, and 1/2 pound bacon slab are serious stand outs. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Will IlarrazJanuary 20, 2013
You have to try the 1/2 pound bacon dish. Portion isn't too big but worth rating after a few drinks. OMG it's good.
Haley JonesJanuary 6, 2013
Brisket sandwich will blow your mind. Order a Lone Star beer and try to figure out the puzzle while you wait.
Travis S.M.February 12, 2014
Kevin is the best bartender ever. And Andrew is an awesome chef. Amazing food. Try the lamb.
Henrik OscarssonApril 11, 2013
Another place on my todo list to visit. Highly recommended BBQ place, with an asian touch.
Eliza PingJune 23, 2012
The specials can be surprisingly expensive, ask the price before ordering if you're on a budget. But the goat ragu is a must!
Saneel RadiaFebruary 17, 2013
The fried bacon is a must, The texas toast brisket is also amazing.
JennJanuary 8, 2014

Wilmer is a great bartender with great drink recommendations. The burger is delicious!
Matt HantzApril 6, 2013
The Fatty Manhattan is served with a ball of ice the size of a "cue" ball. Cute.
ThrillistSeptember 20, 2011
A West Village 'cue joint standing out for all the right reasons. Taste the Malaysian honeycomb tripe, which is slow-cooked in smoked tomato curry. Read more

Amazing starters - don't miss out on the lamb chops
James KiernanJune 6, 2013
Pretty solid pulled pork sandwich, especially when you wash it down with a couple PBRs.
Miranda HammerSeptember 16, 2011
chupacabra cocktail, cheese, chili and bread, kale salad, and duck larb all great!
TahRaySa XApril 20, 2013

Brenna HamlinMay 13, 2014
Happy hr is amazing, panchitos maybe the best combo! Come visit Kevin!
