"Open for: Dinner Price range: $$ Chef Katie Liu-Sung blends dishes from her native Taiwan with Midwestern ingredients and influences in this energetic Midtown restaurant, where the dining room is colorful and the cocktail list creative (and illustrated). Start with the dressed eggs and pliant gua bao (pork belly buns), before moving onto Taiwanese beef noodle soup with beef shank, pickled mustard greens, and “chile bomb.” Know before you go: Look out for pop-up Stray Kat dinners with special themes and dishes, including hot pot." - Liz Cook
