I was so excited to try this place and it looked so cute. I've ordered delivery from here only, not been there in person.
The $6 hot dog (Singular, boring tasting hot dog) is listed as "hot dogs" and is described in plural form on the ordering pages on Grub Hub. They offer two toppings — the woman who called when I asked for one of each was nasty and said it's only one hot dog, and which topping do I want. She got it wrong. Great job! The hot dog was flavorless and so was the banh mi salad on top of it. And it was small. Not worth it!
I was so excited for the brisket bao. The brisket was good, but it didn't work with the bao. It was a weird, okay, overpriced experience.
The donuts were burnt, and they were the best part.
Basically, I spent $30 all together to have literally a TOTAL of FIVE BITES of food FOR THREE ITEMS (my partner and I split it, so it was 10 bites total. We finished our whole meal in 4 minutes. Tiny portions, not great flavors, and not great phone etiquette. Go somewhere else.
Decent ramen. Pricey at $14 but when you want ramen and can't hit up momofuku it will do. Fresh ingredients but the soup broth is on the salty side. The curry and the miso broth are way salty but if you drink a little with the ramen it's not too bad.
Ordered: Marinated korean brisket seitan, and Miso noodles
Pros– The brisket was flavorful and tender. The ramen was incredible. The ginger, pork and corn brought out a great combo of spicy, savory, and sweet. Prices were very reasonable and the service was attentive.
Cons– The seating was cramped close together.
I would rate Bashi Channel four and half stars if I could.
For starters, we shared the soup dumplings, brisket bao, and the vegetarian bao. The soup dumplings were on par with most of the soup dumplings that I've had in New York. For those new to soup dumplings, be careful because they are hot! Baos were really good. Each had an assortment of veggies and a delicious sauce. I'd love to see a duck bao option too since these were executed so well.
For dinner, we shared a crispy chicken special. The dish comprised of two drumsticks and one thigh deep fried with a well seasoned breading plated over a vegetable egg noodle pancake and hot sauce. The fried chicken was delicious. It was the best that came to memory. The skin was very crispy, flavorful, and not overbearingly doughy like some other fried chicken is. The inside was cooked perfectly and fell off the bone. The vegetable egg noddle pancake was fantastic as well. The top noodles were crunchy while the bottom noodles were moist from the sauce.I highly recommend this dish if it's on special while you're there.
For dessert, we had the fried doughnuts. The name is misleading because the fried doughnuts were actually thin fried layers of dough; think of a fried dough sheet or an unraveled diple. The dough sheets were fried with sesame seeds and topped with sugar. They also came with a coffee dipping sauce which reminded me of the syrup that is placed in between layers of Eastern European waffle cakes. All in all, it was an interesting dessert. I probably would opt for the mochi or a different special when I return.
Lastly, the service was excellent. We were seated promptly and it did not take much time for our orders to be taken. Our water glasses were refilled quickly. There was a mix-up up with how many entrees we ordered and the mix-up was resolved immediately without any qualms whatsoever. The professionalism was outstanding!
I'd definitely recommend Bashi Channel for those dining in North Flatbush.
Dammit… I really wanted to love this place. After reading the reviews I expected a flavor explosion, a new love to add to my repertoire of neighborhood favorites. But, my experience was a fail. Ordered the pad Thai and the Ramen bowl. Pad Thai with shrimp…flavorless. With texture of peanut and freshness of sprout, but the only flavor was the lemon juice that I added. I'm spoiled by the creamy Thai noodles that I've eaten in other restaurants. The shrimp was fresh, steamed but lacked seasoning. Salt, pepper, butter, a sauté with bacon bits on a flat top. Lesson learned. The Ramen noodles, broth on the side (mistake) as the flavorless noodles did not marinate long enough to add any flavor. It reminded me of boxed light low-sodium chicken stock and lacked richness and depth and needed everything. The pork, also steamed and should've been grilled or smoked… Sigh… I would've done so many things different.
Monday night after the blizzard and I had some serious cabin fever. Yes, I know I could have gotten out on Sunday, but there was some serious football to watch.
I sat at the bar. First off, I tried the Dragon's Breath Margarita, the bartender checked with me to make sure I wanted it because she only had enough of the mix for one ( since I usually like my booze on the rocks sans-juicey juice, I said let's do it) I was grateful she was considerate enough to make me aware. The mix was sweet and heat and i liked the lingering subtle habanero heat from the drink… So far so good. I started with the Tofu kimchee shitake dumplings… the fish sauce was the best part of them But honestly, I wouldn't order the dumplings next time, unless I was sharing… too much food, eyes bigger than stomach, you know?
After that I had the Shoyu Ramen with Pork. It was decent, I think there was a bit of black garlic oil in it. I ended up chatting with another patron at the bar and had some great laughs.
After the first drink , I turned to Casamigos, and it was a decent pour… i could give 5 stars alone. So the long story short is 4 stars for now, I will return and if it warrants more stars, I will update as so. It's a cozy, dimly lit restaurant with a good bar, great for the area. 4 stars
Terribly disappointing. Some of the worst service I've ever experienced in NYC. We were asked multiple times at every course if we were done and if the waitstaff could take our plates. Does anyone working here realize how rude this is? When you are paying this amount for food the service should at least be acceptable. It definitely isn't here. We waited 25 minutes for a table and were rushed through our meal. Speak of the meal…… It was very mediocre. They serve everything accompanied by Siracha sauce and for good reason- you need something to pour onto their bland food. I refuse to write anymore and waste my time and yours. DON'T EAT HERE. There are plenty of delicious options in the area. AVOID THIS ONE!!!!!
Duck confit ramen sounds like a wonderfully delicious idea, but was unfortunately one of the most disappointing bowls of ramen I've ever had. It was too salty, I poured in half my glass of water, but still struggled to finish even half of it! The oil from the duck was also overwhelming and swimming above the soup. I normally have no qualms with Asian Fusion, but this spot was a miss. With such excellent reviews and a promising menu, my expectations may have been too high, but if you're looking for quality ramen, I suggest elsewhere.
