New Bo Ky Restaurant

As at nearby New Chao Chow Restaurant, Vietnamese items crowd the menu, but the dishes at Bo Ky that most deserve your attention hail from the southern Chinese city of Chaozhou (also rendered Chao Chow, Chiu Chow, and Teo Chew).

Served "dry" — that is, with soup on the side — Teo Chew sate flat egg noodles ($5.50) are layered with sprouts and thin-sliced beef, then doused with a sour meat sauce; a squeeze of lemon juice adds a fresh touch.

The décor at Bo Ky, such as it is, is functional but reasonably well-kept; the service can seem gruff, but only in the quintessential "what'll ya have" New York manner. It's a bargain worth exploring.

Thanks for the tip on their specialties - I found their wonton noodle soup to be somewhat lackluster, but I definitely had it in mind to return for what they do well. When I went, the owner/cashier was very nice; I had asked him about an autograph signed on the back right wall (if you're facing the street, that is). He told me that it was written by a Korean movie star, who had eaten there just prior to hitting big. It says something along the lines of "Thanks for the wonderful meal" or something like that.

Keep on plugging, Dave.

Their braised duck is amazing and so it the hot sauce.
