Very inventive asian fusion with flavors you wouldn't expect to find that work really well and are a very pleasant surprise. We had a fish dish that has moroccan flavors alongside...
All reviews seem positive
A New Fusion Restaurant on the Lower East Side- Weekend Brunch too!
Following the success of his sandwich shop, BaoHaus, Eddie Huang wanted his second restaurant to showcase his interpretation of Taiwanese classics in a larger, sit-down space with a full bar. Although the community board required that he change the original name (CrackHaus) to something more demure, everything else about Xiao Ye is largely as he envisioned. Plates come in three sizes: small (noodles, fries), medium (fried chicken, pork belly) and big (country fried steak with gravy, half chicken with rice). The decor resembles a night market in Taiwan, with black tables, mostly black walls and colorful cubes that double as seats. Plus, the name’s not all that prim: Huang has claimed that xiao ye, or street food, really translates as “booty-call food.”
