I take everything back, Andrew. This area is Clinton Hill. On a related note, there was a shooting there yesterday: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/14/nyregion/14shoot.html?scp=2&sq=clinton%20hill&st=cse White Escalade, drive-by, pregnant victim. Gotta take the good with the bad, right Andrew? You know what? I take everything back, Andrew. This area is Clinton Hill.

Pad Thai and chicken fried rice aren't spicy in regular Asian restaurants, let alone fusion ones. And yes, it's Classon. Forget that Franklin BS. Lafayette Gardens is even in the 36th council district. But you didn’t order anything spicy! Pad Thai and chicken fried rice aren’t spicy in regular Asian restaurants, let alone fusion ones.

The border's always been Classon and those who grew up around Biggie's time will also argue that his block - St. James - was Bed-Stuy. As for the restaurant - I haven't been to Kuma Inn or Umi Nom. I've always wanted to support a fellow Filipino's (well a halfie in the case of Chef King hehe) restaurant and I probably will SOON. In your response to your review - from what I understand the food is Asian fusion and based on the menu it's primarily Filipino and Thai. Far from Korean food. Filipino food is definitely not spicy..more sweet, sour, and a lot of Spanish influence thrown into its sauces - thick stews. a lot of fried, and a lot of bbq.

Look. Bed-Stuy begins at Classon. I hate gerrymandering too and that's why Bed-Stuy begins at Classon. Case closed. Next issue. What are you, a real estate agent? Look. Bed-Stuy begins at Classon.

My friend lives down the block from this place (in Clinton Hill) and it's very close to our much-loved hood, but no cigar.
