Lucky Eight

5204 Eighth Ave.
A Sunset Park institution, Lucky Eight's extensive seafood menu is on display in the restaurant's many tanks full of live shrimp, crabs and eels—and tasty specimens are plucked fresh right as you order. The seafood is complemented by a menu of roasted meats (a showcase full of freshly roasted ducks gives those cases full of eels a run for their money) as well as pulled noodles and stir-fries.

1314 Cortelyou Rd.
The Pan-Asian food here encompasses Filipino, Korean, Cantonese, Keralan, Vietnamese and Indonesian home cooking, brought together by a husband-and-wife team, Romy Dorotan and Amy Besa, who gather recipes as they gather friends. For 10 years they had a similar restaurant in SoHo, Cendrillon, and have now moved their operation to an appreciative Brooklyn audience. The bamboo-detailed restaurant is a warm and welcoming place to tuck into tamarind shrimp with caramelized onions, Filipino deep-fried pork belly and pancit, a traditional rice noodle dish with chicken, pork and vegetables.
