Noah WeissAugust 12, 2012A 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.
Mike WinstonFebruary 15, 2014For 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
Stephanie P.September 18, 2013The 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!
Ms HeleneMarch 25, 2013Duck 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
New York PostMay 24, 2013As 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- Mike WinstonSeptember 19, 2013Date-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
The Wall Street JournalApril 6, 2012For 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
Jason GoldmanSeptember 20, 2012The 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.
Frédéric della FailleSeptember 13, 2012Being 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!)
KaitlinMay 19, 2013Get 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.
The New York TimesDecember 2, 2011Recommended: 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.'- Jenna Odett LaskinDecember 12, 2012Loved 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.
James MonaghanOctober 7, 2011Outstanding! 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)
Virginie Henry-DiseFebruary 2, 2013Try 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
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.
Travel + LeisureJuly 30, 2012Zak 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.
Village VoiceJune 10, 2013Beer-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.
Dev AnandApril 30, 2012food 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"- Guest of a GuestFebruary 8, 2012Heritage 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.
Nicole CarmonFebruary 16, 2013The 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.
Serious EatsJune 27, 2013Some serious barbecue meets southeast Asian flavors at this small plates and cocktail spot. The brisket is pricey but worthwhile.- 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.
Sean KilleenFebruary 23, 2014The west coast fashioned is amazing. Best old fashioned I've had in a long time. Spritz of scotch and homemade syrup.
Will IlarrazJanuary 20, 2013You 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.
Tian XieMarch 2, 2013OMFG 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.
Haley JonesJanuary 6, 2013Brisket 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, 2014Kevin is the best bartender ever. And Andrew is an awesome chef. Amazing food. Try the lamb.
Boss HoggApril 9, 2014Goat parpadelle and laab lettuce wraps were excellent. Good ribs. Brisket and nam prak salad were not good.
Eliza PingJune 23, 2012The specials can be surprisingly expensive, ask the price before ordering if you're on a budget. But the goat ragu is a must!
Open Air PublishingApril 24, 2012Try the fried coriander bacon with salsa verde. You can learn how to make chef Zakary Pelaccio's recipe in "The Better Bacon Book" created for iPads.

Porig SalbaMay 16, 2012Ahead 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
Isabel GarciaOctober 4, 2013Wilmer is a great bartender with great drink recommendations. The burger is delicious!
JennJanuary 8, 2014Get the Brisket sandwich and recession special (whiskey, pickleback shot, PBRtallboy)
- James KiernanJune 6, 2013Pretty solid pulled pork sandwich, especially when you wash it down with a couple PBRs.
Matt HantzApril 6, 2013The Fatty Manhattan is served with a ball of ice the size of a "cue" ball. Cute.
TahRaySa XApril 20, 2013liked the apple salad and brisket. pass on the rice salad side and the mussels.
Henrik OscarssonApril 11, 2013Another place on my todo list to visit. Highly recommended BBQ place, with an asian touch.
Miranda HammerSeptember 16, 2011chupacabra cocktail, cheese, chili and bread, kale salad, and duck larb all great!
