Deji NYC, a fledgling restaurant that serves at Brooklyn Flea, among other pop-ups, came to The Parlor in Dobbs Ferry on a Monday night, serving such twists on American, Korean and even Canadian food as Poutine, Kimchi Waffles and a spicy dry ramen called Mazemen. Here’s a look at what we had.
Poutine (the best dish of the night):
Pork buns, served on potato bread:
Chicken and waffles:
Definitely could have used some maple syrup.
Mazemen:
This got better after it was all mixed together in one spicy mess.
More chicken and waffles:
Kimchi-stuffed waffles:
This version was way better, mostly because the maple butter helped it not be dry, and the kimchi gave it a nice funky kick.
A line out the door!
All in all, good, not blow-your-mind. But I applaud them for creative thinking, and I bet with practice they’ll do even better.
