🍴4.8-Rated New American Gem—Every Dish Is a Delight!

📍 Kiko I can’t remember when I bookmarked this place, but it was such a pleasant surprise! In a tapas style, three of us ordered half the menu, and every single dish was amazing. 🌟 Dungeness Crab Razor Clam Throce Fried Chicken Wing Wagyu Toast I loved all four appetizers, but the crab was the most stunning. The generous crab meat paired with sticky sushi rice and nori was perfection; the razor clams, a special not on the menu, were refreshingly seasoned and well-executed; the chicken wings had a zesty lemon and pepper flavor, very juicy and flavorful; the wagyu toast, another special, featured rich wagyu beef on buttery bread—delicious! 😋 🌟 Head-on Prawns 🌟 Maine Lobster Crispy Rice 🌟 Double R Ranch Flanken Short Rib Among the main courses, I preferred the first two, which had a Thai twist. The lobster crispy rice was my favorite—dipped in curry, it had incredibly rich flavors, and the lobster meat was very plump. The short rib was decent but nothing extraordinary compared to similar dishes I’ve had elsewhere. 🌟 Cheesecake The cheesecake dessert was probably passion fruit-flavored, with added kumquats. It was tangy and sweet, with a very light texture—loved it! 💓 Their 🍹 cocktails were also delicious! Overall, this place was a treasure from start to finish! #NYCFood #NYCDateRestaurant #NYCHiddenGems
