Café Asean
A tiny spot on a short stretch of street, this eclectic and homey crevice is easy to miss. But wouldn’t that be a shame? It serves up refreshing takes on Malaysian, Thai and Vietnamese concoctions to a low-key, cool-cat crowd who know you don’t need to plunk down wads of cash for authentic flavor. Try the spice-crusted scallops in coconut sauce, rice noodles with shrimp, grilled hangar steak with lemongrass or egg noodles and tofu in peanut sauce (among several meatless options).

Lovely Day
Everything is just precious inside this affordable and funky nook, from the cozy red booths and bedroom-appropriate wallpaper to the lovingly prepared portions of Thai-inflected food. Coconut-rich curries, noodle dishes, papaya salad and spicy tofu squares create a fascinating harmony with the soda shop–inspired decor.

Lucky Cheng’s
Yet another drag-themed eatery, this one features pert Asian drag queens serving up pupu platters, sweet and sour chicken, lemongrass beef and various other tasty treats – along with campy music, burlesque and comedy as part of the Fortune Cookie Cabaret dinner-theater shows.
