I'm usually quite suspicious of fusion places- the seemingly interesting explosion of flavors leads to confusion afterwards, I can never remember what I ate and if that was good (Chubo for instance). But Chance is a more comfort-food approach to fusion. The flavors are nicely balanced but strong enough to be discerned in each dish. While the menu reads almost completely "Chinese", the spices and mild flavors are French. There are also Thai and Indian influences (the delicoius seafood pancakes with curry). Dim Sum (which were served piping hot) standouts are scallop with mushroom, sea bass with carrot, lobster with spinach and goat cheese. Even the green tea and deserts (spring roll banana, creme brule) are great. And if not for dinner, drinks here are pretty good either.
My husband and I have tried just about every restaurant on Smith St. This is the one we continually go back to. The food is clean and fresh tasting and, unlike some Asian food, you can distinguish the different flavors and ingredients used in each dish. Lunch is an incredible value. Make sure you try their banana eggrolls with homemade ice cream for dessert!!
When you think of 'Asian Fusion' Restaurants the Name Chance should pop right into your head. If you haven't visited 223 Smith street in the heart of the trendiest growing brooklyn neighborhood then its time to now. While dining there with friends I found the atmosphere inticing and the food equisite. We enjoyed a courtious wait staff with timely service; need I say more. The menu speaks for itself as we enjoyed the 3 course Prix Fix menu with a price that cannot be beaten! The new Dim Sum menu with a Foie Gras Dumpling and a lobster and spinach dumpling beats all I have tried in China Town. Visit Chance for an evening of food, fun and friends!
