Restaurant Critic Roundup: Pete Wells Reviews Another Asian Restaurant
As always, the ratings range from stars, to bells, to beans, but every review offers specialized insight into the food, atmosphere, and service of eateries in each city's dining scene and the critics eating at them.
This week, Pete Wells reviews yet another Asian restaurant (it's his eighth so far). Pok Pok Ny definitely outperformed Hakkasan a few weeks ago, and he even gave it a better ranking than Bloomberg's Ryan Sutton did last week.
Kourtney Kardashian's baby-daddy Scott Disick's restaurant flopped big time, earning zero stars from the New York Post's Steve Cuozzo.
Craig LaBan goes underground to get the scoop on Philadelphia's Chinatown restaurant, Tasty Place, and comes out feeling good.
Down south, The Miami Herald finds a restaurant that pairs two unlikely treats: pizza and sushi. Does it work? Or is the combination too weird to even enjoy?
From the East Coast to the West Coast, and North to South, the weekly restaurant critic roundup is here for all of your dining out needs.
