Drawing inspiration from the delicacies found on bustling Chinatown dim sum carts, the slurpable starter features Copps Island and Blue Point oysters crowned with ultra-fresh mango, smoked bacon, house-fermented kimchi, and a silky yuzu aioli. The result is a bite that’s smoky, crackly, and perfectly balanced with subtle notes of sweetness and exotic spice.
