A tipster notices some interesting signage up in the window of Passout Records in Williamsburg, asking for kitchen help for a new restaurant going into the space called B.A.D., or “breakfast all day.” This is apparently the new project of a former owner and operator of once shuttered , but recently revived Mexican mini-chain Burritoville .

Following months of anticipation and a months of teasing the public with previews of his new menu items, Eddie Huang’s Xiao Ye finally opened for dinner service last week, with a new roster of a la carte items set to debut on Thursday. The Taiwanese spot builds on the success of Huang’s BaoHaus, but this time in a full-scale sit-down restaurant that serves borderline-gimmicky named dishes like “concubine cucumber” and “Big Trouble in Little Hainan Chicken.” With his second restaurant in just eight months, has Huang shot to the top of the Lower East Side dining scene?
