The Good Fork

We stumbled into here when I Unilocaled ‘best food’ around the area on our way back from ikea. The place is so cute and cozy and had a very warm feel to it. We got a nice booth table. We weren’t that hungry but got the dumplings which were excellent. Then split the steak with a fried egg and kimchi fried rice. Finished off with a key lime pie. Everything was delicious along with the drinks. Staff was friendly and very chill as well. We left very impressed and pleased. Would definitely come back.

Apps were excellent. Warm beet salad with basil croutons, and their Mussels were fantastic. The Korean Style Steak & eggs was very good but the entrees were almost disappointing after such amazing starters. Seriously I am still dreaming about that salad and that thick Crispy garlic toast dipped in that creamy green curry broth from the mussels was orgasmic!

This is a review for the food stall at the Brooklyn Flea market and not the sit-​down restaurant in Red Hook.
Don’t get me wrong. When I was in Red Hook, I definitely wanted to visit the restaurant and try their pork and chives dumplings so famously depicted on Bobby Flay’s Throwdown show. Unfortunately, the restaurant is only open for dinner, and a multi-​hour wait for some dumplings just wasn’t in the cards, no matter how good they are. Fortunately fate intervened, and I had a second go at trying these. At a savings I should add since the restaurant charges $ 9 for their appetizer portion of dumplings!
The stall actually has both the pork dumplings as well as a vegetarian dumpling, so I split my order as half and half. I was impressed. The pork dumplings are really quite good. They are browned on the bottom, and there is a lot of caramelization which is enhanced by the soy sauce. The dumplings are packed tight with plenty of pork which was nicely seasoned. It all made for a very nice package and was delicious to eat. The vegetarian dumplings were less good, but still pleasing. Perfect food for a food stall — definitely recommend.
