Meju

Korean, Regional Cuisine · ★ Michelin

$$$$

Hiding behind a banchan shop in Long Island City, this chef’s counter is as much a classroom as it is a restaurant. Chef Hooni Kim is a worthy guide as he builds a deeply personal menu around traditional Korean ingredients that he’s been wild fermenting and aging for the last decade. Dazzling versions of doenjang, gochujang, ganjang and ssamjang shine with silky tofu, fried pancakes, Miyazaki beef and Niman Ranch pork. He brings the room together and impresses with carefully calibrated dishes that appear strikingly minimalist. Details are impressive, and many of the service pieces are handmade

Sushi Noz

$$$$

There is a certain energy that courses through this sacred space, where every detail recreates an intimate Japanese refuge. Some of the tools alone are marvels, and Chef Nozomu Abe is a meticulous and engaging craftsman. When booking, keep an eye out for his dates and time slots. Commence with dishes like grilled Norwegian king crab in a sauce mixed with Pacific cod roe, or Japanese rock oyster with rice vinegar and bonito. Miso soup is the perfect backdrop for silky-soft eel “noodles” with salted egg yolk cream and crispy tofu pieces, while sushi is jewel-like. This craft comes at a price: ex

Dishes may include beautifully cooked Norwegian langoustine with Meyer lemon sabayon and crisp shellfish tuile, or halibut paired with salt-baked celeriac and smoked whey beurre blanc.

Cardamom

indian · Bib

This unassuming Indian restaurant on a quiet Sunnyside street remains a neighborhood essential. The menu is expansive and loosely pan-Indian, but the kitchen's strengths are clearest in its curries and tandoor, which arrive fresh, hot and well seasoned. The chef hails from Goa and brings particular focus to the "Indo-Portuguese" section, where dishes like lamb vindaloo stand out for their bright, vinegar-driven intensity rather than sheer heat. Elsewhere, vegetable dishes like saag paneer, lean green and restrained, letting the ingredients speak for themselves. Tandoori breads are well made, i

Husband-and-wife owners Minh and Mandy Truong offer an elegant peek into traditional Cambodian flavors at their Upper East Side restaurant, where a comprehensive a la carte menu offers a wide selection of everything from Khmer noodles and fried rice to Siem Reap specials, along with sections dedicated entirely to duck and fish. Top picks include chive dumplings, fried to a golden crisp and served with a ginger soy sauce, and nyoam, or thick rice noodles, tossed with a red curry sauce made with ground fish, cucumbers, long beans, and bean sprouts.
