BK Malaysian Chicken Joint Among NYC's Best: Ranking
A Sunset Park restaurant secured an award from Eater — the latest in a long series of nods from New York City institutions.
SUNSET PARK, NY — A Sunset Park eatery was among five to earn an annual nod from Eater on account of its comforting Malaysian fare.
Hainan Chicken House, located on 8th Avenue near 48th Street, is known for its Hainan chicken — but Eater editors say a specials menu is the real reason to come back time and time again.
Specials have included a rose chiffon cake with lychee-champagne jam and yellowtail fish curry, Eater reported.
