Scoot over Manhattan restaurants, Salt and Fat is now quite the trendy spot in Sunnyside, Queens. This place serves Asian-fusion tapas with an American classic makeover. I came here with my sisters and our significant others prepared for a 45 minute wait on a Sunday night, since they don’t take reservations. But it’s ok - with a little patience, you will be rewarded with a bag of complimentary bacon fat popcorn (not greasy at all). I could totally swim inside a playpen filled with this bacon fat popcorn instead of colorful balls, because this stuff is awesome!
I was a little disappointed that they didn’t have the fried brussel sprouts and short rib buns when we were there, but we thoroughly enjoyed almost everything that we ordered and their presentation was on par. At the end of the night, we were too full to even try their desserts, which I heard were absolutely delectable. If you live in the area, this would be a good alternative instead of Manhattan good eats, and it’s a cute spot for date night. Two thumbs up for being an innovative Queens’ restaurant and extra thumbs up for the complimentary tiny sweet yogurt drinks at the end of the meal!
