"The owner of this Chinatown restaurant is behind fun spots like Nowadays in Ridgewood, so it’s no surprise that Dr. Clark is sceney. Equally captivating as the scene—perhaps more so, depending on your interest in Cool Downtown Life—is the food. This place specializes in dishes from Hokkaido, and you have the option to grill things like lamb and mushrooms at your table. We recommend the smoky salmon jerky, fresh crab, and squid stuffed with uni rice, and you can order these things until 2am every night. Try to get a seat at one of their covered kotatsu tables outside. They’re a lot cooler than what you’ll find in your average outdoor setup." - Hannah Albertine, Bryan Kim, Neha Talreja, Carina Finn Koeppicus, Kenny Yang
