NYC - Asian Cuisine

Below, a sampling of some of my recent and/or favorite Asian cuisine restaurants in NYC:

15 East

15 East 15th Street
New York, NY 10003
212-647-0015

This is a quiet little spot off Union Square. It has excellent, almost rarefied Japanese food. I highly enjoyed the seaweed salad and tofu selection last time I was in there.

Dawat

210 E 58th St
New York, NY 10022
212-355-7555

A family fav for as long as I can remember; Dawat has great Indian style food in a comfortable dining space midtown east. It was only later that I learned that Indian cooking sensation Madhur Jaffrey was the driving force behind the place.

Fatty Crab

643 Hudson St

New York, New York 10013

212-352-3592

Fatty Crab occupies a tiny space on Hudson Street. It is dedicated to Malaysian cuisine which, if you’ve never had, you should definitely try. Be careful though, this is spicy fare, not for the faint of heart.

Momofuko Ssam Bar and Milk Bar

Nobu

105 Hudson St
New York, NY 10013
212-219-0500

The grand-daddy of cutting edge Japanese cuisine, Nobu is almost a must for anyone claiming to be a Japanese/sushi foodie. The restaurant is gorgeous inside (it’s designed to look almost like a forest).
