With Eater editors dining out sometimes several times a day, we come across lots of standout dishes, and we don’t want to keep any secrets. Check back for the best things we ate this week.

Uni monaka at Ichimura’s Clemente Bar residency

Chef Eiji Ichimura is back in action, now reigning over Clemente Bar’s tasting counter. The meal begins with two bites from Clemente Bar (a black truffle broth and silken tofu made right then and there). Then it segues into this wonderful uni monaka, with two halves of a flower-shaped mochi wafer, one topped with a generous amount of uni, caviar, a flower garnish, and wasabi. Ichimura urges you to smush it together into a sandwich for a crispy, briny bite. After that, the meal proceeds into impeccable nigiri like hotate and tiger prawn. The price is $325 altogether for 14-ish courses with add-on pieces. Ichimura’s residency doesn’t have an end date yet; currently, there are reservations available through the end of February.

Spicy chicken burger at Cuci Burger

This new-ish fast-casual place in Chinatown (there’s another location in Dyker Heights) serves Chinese-inspired burgers. Instead of the typical potato roll, the bread is a cross between a pita and a Chinese baked bun, with a crunchy, black sesame-topped exterior and soft, slightly sweet interior. The meat options include beef, chicken, fish, and duck. We ordered the Beijing duck ($9.79) with hoisin and cucumbers, and the spicy chicken sandwich ($7), which was a golden-brown piece of thigh meat topped with cabbage and sweet mayo. It’s nothing like your typical fried chicken burger (and flavor-wise, much more reminiscent of what you might find at KFC or Popeye’s in Asia), and it’s a fantastic, wallet-friendly option in Chinatown for a quick meal. 14 Elizabeth Street between Canal and Bayard, Chinatown — Stephanie Wu, editor-in-chief

The single-patty burger at Long Island Bar

A friend was cruising through town from D.C., and I picked Long Island Bar as the place to meet because she hadn’t been there yet. It seemed like the entire neighborhood was there, and indeed, lots of industry folks had stopped in. What I love about this place, in addition to its top-notch cocktails, is the seamless hospitality: A lot of bars might get tense or overwhelmed with so many people, but not here. I got my regular single-patty burger, with super-crisp fries and a pickle for $18. The bar sent over a stellarGgrasshopper cocktail for dessert. 110 Atlantic Avenue, at Henry Street, Cobble Hill — Melissa McCart, lead editor, Northeast

Cauliflower tabbouleh at Motek

When I saw the line outside Motek, I decided I needed to find out what the fuss was about. Fans of the restaurant’s locations in Miami were eager to check out the first New York outpost, which has the same buzzy room and Eastern Mediterranean treats, like this gluten-free, jazzed-up version of the classic salad ($13). It uses finely chopped cauliflower as a base, adds lots of fragrant parsley, studs everything with bright, tangy pomegranate seeds, and dusts it with sumac for a citrus finish. My friend and I ordered it along with the cabbage salad that had a mint and honey dressing. I liked it so much that I ordered another one to take home. 928 Broadway, between East 21st and 22nd streets, Flatiron — Beth Landman, contributor Northeast
