Boonie's
Filipino
Every time someone lifts the lid on the rice cooker, garlic fills this narrow Filipino restaurant on Western and essentially announces the whole menu's priorities. Started as a food stall, it holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand and a James Beard semifinalist nod. Pork runs the show in several forms, steelhead trout swims in tamarind broth for balance, and the deep-fried plantain spring roll dusted in brown sugar is the kind of dessert that reframes what dessert can be.

Michelin Guide -
Steelhead trout
“Tender filets of steelhead trout swimming in a burnt tomato and tamarind broth offer a delicate reprieve from the meat.”
