Loosie's Kitchen

"You enter this light-filled café by walking through a verdant tunnel entrance etched with branches, which sets its laid-back feel. The space is clean, furnished with unexpected industrial accents and plants all around (including on the see-through roof). Tucked right under the Williamsburg bridge on the patio space of its sister restaurant Loosie’s Kitchen, this is the perfect spot for morning freelancing, afternoon meetings, or relaxed happy hour cocktails. (Order one of the fresh "superfood" donuts or the kale-matcha margarita–or both.)"

"Chef Henry Lu, formerly of Llama Inn and Pearl and Ash, will lead the kitchen, shifting the menu toward refined seasonal dishes inspired by his Chinese-American roots." - Carla Vianna

"I’m still going back and forth between the brisket and the tempura long beans at Loosie’s Kitchen in Williamsburg as the best thing I ate this week. But let’s go with the brisket ($27); mostly for its perfect braise, the char siu flavoring which sings of chef Henry Lu’s childhood at a fast food Chinese restaurant, and the pleasantly-sweet parsnip garlic puree. Get the tempura long beans too." - Eater Staff
