I am a big fan of Brooklyn Chophouse. Funny enough, when I mention that place, people think that it is located in Brooklyn when in fact in it downtown Manhattan, close the the World Trade Center.
What I like about this place is their interesting menu that has Chinese food and steak! Interesting combination that they execute well. Although I was tempted to get their ribeye the last time we were there, we decided to stick to Chinese cuisine, sharing most of the dishes. Here is what we had :
I started by ordering a Manhattan from their full bar as none of their specialty cocktails had whisky in it.

Then came the food, surprisingly all at the same time, making it a bit challenging to have all the dishes on the table. The first one was scallion pancake, a classic, deliciously greasy, slightly crispy and flakey: always a crowd pleaser.

Then we had the steamed edamame dumplings that were quite good, the shell not being to thick and with a flavorful filling.

Next was the crispy sweet and sour eggplant that is in the category side for two. I love it: crispy, spicy and sweet, with well cooked eggplant. A must have.

For non-vegetarian dishes, I decided to try their short rib bao buns. The bun itself was nice, pillowy and slightly sticky and the filling delicious, the sauce dripping on my fingers (yes, a little messy).

I also got the lobster satay that came with what they call their « famous peanut sauce ». It came sizzling on a skillet, perfectly cooked. Superb! This is a another must have.

For dessert, we shared the double height chocolate cake. I admit that this was a bit of a disappointment: it for sure did not look like the photo on their website and was not that chocolatey.

Despite this, the meal was great. Brooklyn Chophouse is a good place for dinner and you don’t even need to go to Brooklyn to enjoy it!
Enjoy (I did)!
