Bidra med feedbackEater: oblong flattened dough — stuffed with pork, pickled mustard greens, chicken, or best of all, spicy beef with Sichuan peppercorns — lowered into a tandoor-like oven and baked until golden brown.
This is my FAVORITE place to eat whenever I'm in the Washington Square Park area, I'm so bummed it's moving! I've made several special trips across the river just to get these delicious crispy, chewy, savory, umami circles. Thankfully such trip happened to fall on the day before they closed if I hadn't headed the call of my stomach and my partner, I would have missed my chance! Once they told me they were moving, I immediately doubled by order and was lucky enough to get the last of the hawthorn candies I'm obsessed with and can't find anywhere else. I will be checking their website regularly to see where they pop back up I'm a loyal customer and will travel wherever I need to to get my hands on this amazing food!
We got the chicken teriyaki, pork and veg and spicy beef with chili and mango sauces.What an incredible food this is. Imagine a thin crispy seedy naan encasing tender meat and vegetables. Every bite filled with an abundance of nutrients which make your brain fire neurons like fireworks.The structural integrity of it is solid so you can either rip off little chunks to dip in the incredibly refreshing sauces or take bites straight out of the paper bag.It was a perfect lunch, I wish I could have it everyday! Unfortunately, we have to go home :(Wishing you well and hoping to come back soon!
Tiny spot tucked away on MacDougal that's great for lunch or a snack. I tried the spicy beef guokui and the pork and preserved veg guokui. The beef was the standout, though both were super tasty.
Fantastic and unique food item. The Guokui is apparently a popular Chinese street food. The restaurant named it after the town they spent time in learning to create it.It is a crispy, yet tender piece of bread, about as thick as naan, covered with sesame seeds and filled with meat or vegetables. I got one beef and one pork version. Both delicious but I prefer the pork flavor. I got the chili sauce as a condiment, but I felt it was unnecessary as the guokui has enough flavor in its own right. Also, I felt the chili sauce had a bit too much (what I think) Sichuan pepper which drowned out the other flavors.You need to try as I’m sure you’ve had nothing like this!
