In the January 2015 edition of Connecticut Magazine, local food experts and readers chose Feng Asian Bistro as the “Best Asian” food eatery. These experts range from veteran restaurant critics and food writers to contemporary bloggers who track the trends—and hottest, newest places—along with cookbook authors and even a former restaurant owner.

We are delighted to share the results of both those surveys, and even more excited to try and get out to visit all these terrific eateries ourselves in the year ahead. Enjoy!
