Highly Recommend: East Wind Snack Shop's potstickers, dumplings, and everything in between.
Milling around at a tofu event years ago, I was blown away by chef Chris Cheung’s tofu-stuffed bao, a rare moment of true eye-widening deliciousness. He mentioned he had a small restaurant,in Windsor Terrace, a few subway stops north from where I lived at the time in Brooklyn. Just weeks later, I found myself sitting down to dry-aged beef potstickers and Happy Buddha vegetables.
East Wind is a dollhouse-size restaurant on a quiet residential block. The kitchen is really just a series of induction burners and a minuscule prep counter, with all the cooking happening in plain sight. Videos of Cheung making dumplings on TV series like “The Martha Stewart Show” play on a monitor on the wall, and seating is limited to a few small tables and tight counters with wooden stools. Yet, there are few places more welcoming and friendly in all of Brooklyn.
After that first visit, years went by . Then one year ago, my family moved to the same neighborhood as the original shop. It was a hellacious journey through the Brooklyn real estate market, but once we found our place and the movers departed, we celebrated with a trip to East Wind. Adrenaline-spent and ravenous, I looked down at my table full of gorgeous stir-fried vegetables, plump dumplings, and pork belly bao, and knew: I was home.
