Simpson Wong, a chef who made a name for himself at Jefferson, and then later Jefferson Grill (both closed) and Cafe Asean, will open his newest restaurant Wong on Cornelia Street on Monday. He's calling the cuisine here "Asian Locavore," and he'll serve local ingredients, grass-fed beef, and sustainable foods with an Asian flair and a special section of breads and noodles. So expect bonito crudo with seaweed and Japanese rice crackers, pork belly with taro root tater tots, clay pot sepia rice, and lobster egg foo young. Items range from $6 - 16 for small plates, $15 - 18 for noodles, and $19 - 24 for mains.
The restaurant will seat around 40 and is constructed of mostly reclaimed materials. She opens to the public Monday. Pictures of the dishes are all over the Facebook and a full menu rundown is below.
