And we still serve the real deal: Noodles, dumplings, burgers, and our proprietary chili oil with 30+ ingredients. The father: David, a hot head, the mastermind behind the flavors.The son: Jason (me), a chili head, the business guy who wanted to share our food with everyone.

Sapphire ( Dining / Indian ). Located at 1845 Broadway, New York, 2 miles from the center of Roosevelt Island. For some reason, the arts and fine dining don't seem to mix. the theater district has long been a byword for bad food in New york, and the Lincoln Center area has only recently begun to show signs of culinary life, with gems like Picholine getting a little company, Sapphire, a new comer in the Lincoln Center neighborhood, may not be the last word in Indian Cusine, but it is good enough and good-looking enough to advance the cause.
