Best Dishes at Potluck Club
Salt & Pepper Chicken with Scallion Biscuits
MainsChefs Zhan and Peter elevated a Cantonese classic by pairing it with Southern biscuits and housemade chili crisp jam. The chicken is golden and crispy outside, tender inside. The warm, buttery biscuits soak up the jam and chicken juices. Reviewers across multiple outlets call this 'the unequivocal best thing on the menu.'
Oyster Mushroom Rice Roll Noodles with Beef
MainsA refined riff on beef chow fun. The rice noodles develop wok hei (breath of the wok)—the smoky, charred flavor that separates good chow from great. The oyster mushrooms provide earthiness, the beef is tender, and each bite builds satisfaction. This is where modern technique meets traditional Cantonese cooking.
Braised Short Ribs with Kabocha Squash
MainsShort ribs braised low and slow until the meat surrenders, served with caramelized, skin-on kabocha squash. The squash provides sweetness and textural contrast to the rich, tender meat. It's comfort food elevated through technique. Reviewers note it competes with any braised preparation in the city.
Jellyfish Salad
AppetizersA refreshing, traditional Cantonese appetizer that provides textural and flavor contrast to heavier mains. The jellyfish is tender but chewy, the sesame oil is aromatic and rich, and the scallion adds freshness. It's a palate-opening starter—or a palate-cleanser between courses.
Tiger Shrimp with Candied Walnuts and Calabrian Chili Aioli
MainsPlump tiger shrimp tossed with candied walnuts that provide sweetness and crunch, finished with Calabrian chili aioli that brings heat and bitterness. It's a sweet-spicy-savory tangle that works because of technique and restraint. The shrimp are properly cooked, not rubbery.

Everything is served family-style. Order 4–5 dishes for 4 people. Mix proteins, vegetables, and starches.
Book through Resy. Walk-ins rarely get seated, especially weekends. Dinner is Wed–Sun 5:30–9:15pm.
Brunch (Sat–Sun 11am–2pm) is less crowded than dinner. Same quality, better availability and pace.
This is a Bib Gourmand restaurant—excellent food at reasonable prices. It's not fancy, but the mission-driven approach and culinary quality justify the recognition.
Expect: family-style ordering, vibrant young crowd, and a sense of community preservation. This isn't fine dining, it's neighborhood dining elevated.
