"When Bonnie’s opened in the winter of 2021, they brought Cantonese-American comfort food to a sleepy corner of Williamsburg. They also brought a really good time. Think of this restaurant as a party, complete with a large-format Long Island iced tea that comes in tiny tea cups and a color-changing bathroom that behaves like a DJ’s closet. They serve the sort of comforting, umami-rich food you’d want to eat alone in your living room, but they’ve dressed it up to go out. You’ll see a sticky-sweet cha siu McRib that could be a pop-art piece and a whole trout stuffed with shrimp and water chestnuts that looks like it has its own stylist. This place is a scene for sure, and it’s still one of the hardest reservations to get, but the food will keep you coming back long after the hype dies down.
