replying to u/TallTallJosh: I went Wednesday night for dinner. I enjoyed it so much I went again today for lunch to try the smash burger. It’s not the cheapest place but the quality was stellar. Prices felt on par with similar restaurants in NYC.
“I paid the same amount at KRU which just seemed light years higher quality and more complex flavors.”

“KRU- (Williamsburg.) Listed as Crabmeat/หลนเนื้อปู.) From the Soothr people iirc. This one is more unique as it's a thicker crab relish and you dip veggies in it. Would recommend also.”

replying to u/BillyZaneJr: Thanks! Is it the same quality? I have seen people say to go to the Queens location specifically. If yes, do you think going to the Brooklyn location is worth it over Soothr?
