Best Chinese in Williamsburg
Master Critic Review
Púsù
8.1
Púsù is a design-forward Chinese restaurant on Bedford where a mostly plant-focused menu has evolved into modern Chinese plates with cocktails in a softly lit room. Diners treat it as a dressier Williamsburg option for pumpkin mapo tofu, wide Canton-style noodles, and plated dishes that lean more toward dinner-party energy than takeout.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pumpkin mapo tofu, Canton fried noodles, Truffled winter melon soup
