New on Resy: ATLA, Dhamaka, Xilonen, Angel’s Share, and More

What happens when a fine dining chef opens a more casual spot? Hopefully for them, it’s something like ATLA. Enrique Olvera’s take on the all-day genre is riveting, from the breakfast bites and light-drenched space to the mezcal selection. Plus, as Cosme’s little sister, ATLA similarly wows in the simplest of ways (see the cheese quesadilla). Pro tip: When the chilaquiles are on the menu, run, don’t walk.

For thrilling fare — period — that happens to be plant-based, look no further than this sleek all-day cafe from restaurateur and chef Justin Bazdarich (Speedy Romeo and Oxomoco) and chef Alan Delgado. Many of the dishes resemble works of art (case in point: the carrot tostada) and they’re as delicious as they are appealing to look at. Don’t sleep on the cinnamon babka paired with Oaxacan hot chocolate, purple potato tacos, or the sweet potato al pastor tamal.

Because if you can expect anything from the team behind Adda and Rahi, it’s deliciously unapologetic Indian food. And Dhamaka follows suit, hopping from region to region to offer a taste of the everyday street food locals love. Simply put, New York hasn’t seen this particular facet of Indian cuisine just yet.

Ho Foods is both a love letter to Taiwan and to its national dish, beef noodle soup — it’s a contender for the city’s best. But it’s also so much more. Come by for breakfast, where chef-owner Richard Ho pairs youtiao (Taiwan’s answer to the cruller) with cups of savory soy milk. At night, other Taiwanese specialties make guest starring appearances, but never sleep on the lead: perfectly QQ  — that’s chewy, taken to the next level — noodles and melty beef, in bowls of deeply flavored soup.

There’s still a thrill whenever you walk up the narrow staircase to access Village Yokocho. And yes, you could stay for the excellent izakaya plates — or, open an unmarked door and step into one of New York’s best speakeasies. Although, to be fair, it’s a bit less secret now that there’s an outdoor-dining setup on the street. Yes, Angel’s Share is more than two decades old, and its cocktails still dazzle. That’s in no small part thanks to Takuma Watanabe, whose cocktail-shaking mastery results in the most surprising flavors.

Anchored by a genuinely warm staff, Rice X Beans is a Woodside gem that over-delivers on the Brazilian food front.
