"Bib Gourmand 2025 Located within earshot of the BQE's rumble in east Williamsburg in a nondescript corner, Bonnie's is an absolute discovery. Inside, the look is retro Hong Kong diner through and through but Chef Calvin Eng plates Cantonese regional cuisine with modern interpretations. Yeung yu sang choi bao is a wonder, stuffed with shrimp, green mustard and lettuces, then crisped and presented whole. Fish and shrimp wontons bob in a deliciously fragrant citrus broth, then local ingredients classic Hong Kong street food, X.O. cheung fun, is done up with ingredients from local farms and waters. The creativity extends through dessert with the chow nai sundae with Ovaltine-flavored hot fudge, malted milk cubes, buttered peanuts and savory pork floss atop vanilla ice cream."

"Tables at this new Cantonese American restaurant book up within minutes — two weeks out — making Bonnie’s one of the city’s hottest reservations right now. What’s all the hype? The restaurant comes from Calvin Eng, a chef who previously worked at Win Son in Williamsburg and Nom Wah in Nolita. Bonnie’s, named for his mom, is Eng’s breakout restaurant, and he’s paying homage to his Cantonese American upbringing with dishes like cha siu glazed pork (served on a sesame milk bun in the style of a McDonald’s McRib) and cacio e pepe “mein” tossed in a wok. Former Win Son chef Calvin Eng just opened Bonnie’s, a Cantonese American spot in Williamsburg. Reservations will be hard to come by for a while, but try to grab a walk-in seat so you can enjoy some of the best new food in the city. The XO cheung fun arrives with an impressive sear on the noodles, but the surprise hit at Bonnie’s is the yeung yu sang choi bao. This deboned whole trout is stuffed with minced shrimp, and it has a meatloaf-like texture with some crunch from water chestnuts to keep you on your toes. The cocktails also rise to the occasion, especially the tequila-based Riptide that manages to incorporate just enough lychee, an ingredient that’s often show-stealing. We’d like to bring a pitcher of it home. recommended by Josephine Lau"

@bryessa.madhwu

"Cantonese American from the people behind Win Son. Best to order a lot of dishes to share with a group. Reso is hard to get - might have to wait I’m a line for a bit to get a table. Has outdoor seating too"

"NYT best 50 restaurants of 2022: Decades ago, Cantonese cuisine spread far and wide through the United States. At Bonnie’s, the chef Calvin Eng makes it all seem new again, no easy trick. He serves a creamy dressing thick with garlic chives — he calls it Chinese ranch — as a dip for salt-and-pepper squid. There is a version of cacio e pepe in which the pungent sheep’s milk cheese is replaced by fermented tofu. You could probably write a dissertation about his char siu McRib as a metaphor for the experience of Chinese immigrant families in America. The dining room is packed pretty much from the minute the doors open, which suggests that Brooklyn understands what Mr. Eng is trying to say."

"NYT rec - “Or there’s my favorite dish at Bonnie’s in Williamsburg, which on a recent Saturday night was not as hard to get into as you might imagine. (We call this the hype paradox.) Much has been said about the stuffed rainbow trout and the MSG martini, but what about the cheung fun, seared rice-noodle rolls, in XO sauce? It’s the dish I most look forward to eating when I’m there, a combination of unfettered rich flavor and immediate comfo”"

@jbriel

"Best Chinese / Cantonese in NY; Loved: panzanella, long beans, mcrib sandwich, rolled xo noodles, Pass: shrimp and cocktails (none were good); sweetest waitress Jocelyn “Brooklyn-born chef Calvin Eng (late of Nom Wah Nolita and Win Son) named his modestly sized Williamsburg Cantonese American restaurant after his mom — who, he says, taught him everything he knows about classic Cantonese cooking, with a uniquely New York lens. Don’t overlook Bonnie’s twists on classic cha chaan teng (Hong Kong-style café) dishes like macaroni soup, golden lava French toast, and cheung fun (rice rolls). And save room for the showstopping fish entrée”"
