Porcelain is tucked into a part of Ridgewood that's at the cusp of gentrifying, and something about its location on a lovely, quiet corner, combined with the retro decor, makes it feel like you've been transported somewhere in Western Europe. The interior is thoughtfully, beautifully designed: I love the wallpaper, the vintage fixtures, and the overall vibes (there's a piano in the dining room) -- it feels like a forgotten Viennese cafe fast-forwarded into 2021 Brooklyn (yes, I know Ridgewood is in Queens, but this vibe is very Brooklyn). I came on a weekday evening to try out the dinner menu, and opted for the indoor seating though the outside tables looked really lovely under a sidewalk fruit tree's boughs. I had read a lot about the chef, Kate Telfeyan (previously at Mission Chinese), and the menu, and was super excited to try the Sichuanese/Taiwanese/Korean inspired dishes--all cuisines I love!I'd been intrigued by the daytime menu, too, but felt more pulled toward the dinner options. I ordered:--Triple chili yuba ($17): as a yuba lover, this was awesome -- the three pepper preparation provided lots of texture, flavor, and spice, and this was a pretty Sichuan-y dish while still being quite original --Kimchi-brined fried half chicken ($26): wow! this is a must-order. The chicken was delightfully crispy, the gochujang paste funky and soooo good, the kimchi crisp and flavorful, and the herbs a really inspired pairing. I treated this as sort of a lettuce-wrap dish, and it was fun to compose bites. Great for a group!--Lamb & leek dumplings ($15): I really enjoyed the Euro-Asian juxtaposition of these dumplings; they reminded me of Polish pierogies, especially with the pickled onions and stewed cherries on top, but also of Chinese dumplings. The wontons/dumplings seem to be one of the most seasonal parts of the menu so I'd highly suggest trying whatever is on offer.--Hot and sour potatoes ($8): this was the only disappointing dish to me; I found it neither hot nor especially sour and it seemed to really lack some umami. I liked the almost-raw texture of the potatoes but this was the one miss of the dinner.The counter staff recommended an extra bowl of rice, which was nice to have as insurance but actually turned out to be a little too much for us to finish as there was rice with the chicken platter. Overall, I found the food inventive, original, and unique, and I was impressed by the ambiance and kind service. Residents of Ridgewood are lucky to have this in the neighborhood, and I actually think the food is much more compelling than the other similar-gentrifier-vibes place nearby, Rolo's. I look forward to returning for a new iteration of dumpling!
