Long Tan (CLOSED)

Enjoying a well-priced drink (like the high-octane sake martini) with a selection of apps is a great way to appreciate what this restaurant does best. With a deft hand, the kitchen produces artful, satisfying morsels like fresh lobster sushi rolls with wasabi cream and chili garlic sauce; or grilled flatbread wrapped around slivers of roast duck, green pepper and scallions, presented in a savory puddle of peanut and coconut curry. At this chic local hangout, the service is amiable, the crowd is friendly, and the prices are outer-borough low.
