Navigating Gabose’s expansive, meandering menu, with its myriad of Korean titles, food photos, and strange-sounding offerings, is only slightly less challenging than pronouncing the place’s name. Rather than be intimidated, just read the descriptions, point to the numbers, and await your authentic, delectable, spunky, sparkling fresh, and well-priced Korean cuisine. Tangsuyuk is an accessible entry […]
Broward - West in Broward Palm Beach
Showing 45 - 66 of 136The Zhang family’s Gou Lou Cheung Chinese BBQ has the best Chinese roast meats in Broward. The tiny takeout shop’s traditional red-honey-roasted pork is buttery soft inside and wonderfully charred and chewy on the edges. Classic roast duck is meaty and tender, the skin perfectly crisp. Fans of pork rinds will understand the terrific crispy […]
Raw food continues to grow in popularity, even though its South Florida contingent is small. But Green Wave Café, a Plantation kitchen and organic market that serves raw, vegan lunches, may change that. Chef Lisa Valle takes wholesome, organic produce and creates a small menu that changes daily. Grab a seat at the wide orange […]
Havana’s Cuban Cuisine should not be mistaken for Havana, the sister West Palm Beach favorite with the walk-up window. Yet this place, and its sibling in Cooper City that opened in 2010, is no less congenial. A sliding door recedes to usher customers into a room framed by espresso wood, corrugated metal accents, and plate-glass […]
Reopened under the aegis of a new family, this 20-something Hong Kong-style restaurant in a Tamarac strip mall remains essentially unchanged, much to the relief of local foodies addicted to the restaurant’s pan-fried noodles. The authentic flavors of Chinatown emanate from these dishes, and whole ducks, pork, and chicken, served barbecued, still hang on view […]
Owner Benjamin Wong is big into numbers. Ask how many Chinese videos he has available for rental and he’ll quickly inform you, “More than 100,000.” (That’s including the ever-popular Kung Fu Hustle.) If you inquire about a special type of teapot, he’ll invite you to choose from more than 100,000 of them. OK, so perhaps […]
This nondescript little space is set up in classic diner fashion: booths along the windows, stools at the counter, and emphasis on big personalities, friendly service, and good prices. Owned by Sprio Passako and his wife, Thecia (known to regulars as “the boss”), the fare is typical diner, with emphasis on Greek dishes like moussaka, […]
When you get a craving for grapefruit soda and jerk chicken, you want to go where the meat is spicy and tender. This Jamaican strip-mall staple knows how to stew its ox, curry its goat, and jerk its chicken better than anyone else around, and they built window boxes into each booth’s wall so you […]
While no compelling reason exists to eat at IKEA unless you’re shopping there, you’re doing yourself a dis-service if you’re buying furniture without dining. And we don’t mean a chicken wrap or a salad. We’re talking a plate of Swedish meatballs. With the gravy. And the potatoes and (most importantly) the lingonberries. You’re only going […]

Since moving from its Oakland Park location to this western Broward spot inside a Quality Inn, India House has continued to turn out stellar food. Its menu is a train ticket through India, stopping in Portuguese-influenced Goa with Goan fish and vinegary vindaloos, weaving through Northern Punjab with its hot-iron “tawa” dishes, even trucking to […]
This Korean-owned Japanese restaurant is an elegant surprise on the inside, and not just because the décor is attractive. Soups can be so-so and appetizers iffy. But sushi, especially white tuna, is reliably good. And the Korean barbecue, grilled right at the table, is tantalizing. Be sure to request the Korean menu and a grill […]
This funky/elegant Plantation restaurant specializes in the Northern Italian fare of the Friuli-Venezia-Giulia region; it’s run by an Austrian chef and his American wife. This region of Italy was dominated by the Austrian Hapsburgs for years, and its cuisine incorporates Greek and Turkish elements as well. Shrimp casserole is laced with grappa and Edam; homemade […]
