Hachi

A former Williamsburg pet shop has now rolled over to become this pan-Asian restaurant featuring Chinese, Japanese and Malaysian plates—not to mention a ginormous menu. "Really? I think it's small!" jokes co-owner Eric Ong (Nana). Really—it's not! There are almost 30 appetizers alone, plus fried rice, curry, entrees, noodles, and a telephone directory's worth of rolls and sashimi. Ong, who is Malaysian, gives a shout-out to his motherland with dishes like kueh teow (a kind of flat noodle, available with chicken or shrimp), an Ipoh-style spicy calamari and Nonya fried rice prepped with chili paste. The space itself is an eye-catcher: sorta Asian (Buddha statues), sorta mod (knockoff Eames chairs), very Williamsburg (granny-chic wallpaper…on the ceiling).
