FANG Restaurant Review
Last night we wanted to try something new and decided to check out FANG on Howard Street. The owner, Peter Fang, personally came out to wait on our table when we arrived. No special occasion, but it was our first time to the restaurant for all five of us. We were getting ready to order when he asked if we had any food allergies. We said no and he asked - “if you trust me, I’ll serve you.” He was so welcoming of course we said yes.
The waitresses then proceeded to serve us 6 amazing courses that completed the best Chinese dinner I think I’ve ever had. It started with a shrimp, tomato, mushroom and cilantro salad drenched in sesame oil. Next, they brought out Chinese steamed beef buns with braised shortrib, pickled veggies and scalion ginger. As the entree, a mix of BBQ pork spareribs with pineapple honey garlic glaze, five spice whitefish with jade spinach, and the Nanking sesame chicken with sweet potatoes. We rounded it off sharing the sesame apple crisp stuffed and black sesame rice ball soup.
It was a great evening spent with friends and we’ll definitely be back for more - next time the steamed Shanghai soup dumplings! 5 stars for sure and we’ll also be visiting his second restaurant, the House of Nanking, in Chinatown soon.
