You gotta try this!
I'm not really reviewing the restaurant, since I've only purchased their "jerky" online. If you've never had bak kwa or long yuk, you've got to try this stuff. It beats the heck out of traditional American jerkies. I first had long yuk in Penang (island off NW coast of Malaysia) and I couldn't get enough of it. The product made by this restaurant is almost as good as what you get on the famous Gurney Drive in Penang. Sooooo goooood.

Forgot to add...
The Spicy and the non-sliced varieties taste the best. The chicken flavor is a bit iffy but the pork and beef are the bomb!

Good but not a restaurant
This is not a restaurant--it's more like a take-out place. But that said, it is the only place I've found in Manhattan that makes true, fresh "Bak Kwa" daily and if you're from Singapore or Malaysia, you know what that means! This place is so authentic that I buy the Bak Kwa by the pound each time; more if I'm buying it for friends located elsewhere in the USA. I prefer the rougher cuts instead of the perfect squares meant for sandwiches--better chewing. I've enjoyed their while flying to the Left Coast on JetBlue (it sure beats their inflight food!!!) The only caveat is that since it's made without preservatives, it has to be consumed within a week if refrigerated; three months if frozen.
