RE: The Famous but Affordable Michelin Star Restaurant - Restaurant Reviews #8 (Din Tai Fung)
omg SOUP DUMPLINGS!!!! my favorite. will definitely have to check this place out next time im in the area. havent had them since living in NYC!
You definitely gotta try them! I heard NYC had some really good soup dumplings too so I'm hoping I get the chance to try them out some time over there as well. Please let me know if you have any good recommendations in NYC or San Diego!
Oink and Moo in Fallbrook for BBQ. Its a small, local joint only open for part of the week for dinner but its amazing. NYC has really awesome restaurants but some of my favorite have already closed down. Always a revolving door there! But, if you like spicy asian noodles, Xi'an Famous Foods is awesome. The classic Smith & Wollensky has the best caesar salad Ive ever had, and Doughnut Plant is the only place to spend $6 on one doughnut in my opinion. Oh, and Koi in Bryant Park - the crunchy tuna appetizer is literally to die for. I used to work for Gourmet Magazine, right up til the day it folded so I was spoiled in my early 20s. After that job, I stopped going to all the really fancy places and started hunting for the neighborhood gems, lol.
