Green Pepper Fish, Mapo Tofu, Chongqing Chicken
What makes it special: Michelin Bib Gourmand Sichuan cooking with authentic mala flavor profiles

What makes it special: Authentic cart-service dim sum in a massive banquet hall

Seafood Story is an Egyptian-leaning seafood restaurant where grilled snapper, butterfly shrimp, and seafood boils arrive with rice molded into fish shapes. Inside, ocean-blue floors and nautical details give the room a more immersive feel than a typical neighborhood fish house.
Must-Try Dishes:
Grilled whole branzino with sayadiyah rice, Butterfly shrimp off the grill, Calamari tagine with tomato and peppers
What makes it special: Mediterranean-inspired grilled seafood with thoughtful plating and decor.
The King of Fish is a Mexican marisqueria and cocktail bar where octopus, shrimp, and ceviche meet a dark, polished room and a full bar. Couples use it for relaxed date nights built around seafood platters, margaritas, and a soundtrack that leans more lounge than sports bar.
Must-Try Dishes:
Octopus taco, Shrimp taco with house salsas, Mixed seafood ceviche
What makes it special: Mexican seafood, strong cocktails, and moody lighting on 5th Avenue.
8.3
The King of Meat is a steakhouse–taqueria hybrid in Sunset Park where grilled ribeyes, tomahawks, and creative steak tacos share the menu with cocktails and bar snacks. Locals treat it as a destination for richly seasoned cuts, late-night bites, and a louder, high-energy room than a traditional white-tablecloth steakhouse.
Must-Try Dishes:
Bone-In Ribeye Steak (16 oz), The Dude Taco (steak, bacon, cheese, onions), Psycho Steak-Stuffed Jalapeño Taco
What makes it special: Steakhouse-taqueria with serious ribeyes and over-the-top steak tacos.
