Details Loves Little Serow; The Barbecue Battle Is Coming

LISTICLES—Details magazine lists Little Serow among the 10 best new Asian restaurants in America. Which sounds pretty damn accurate. The piece warns to "expect dishes like pungent piles of minced catfish with fresh herbs and dried chili, kaffir-lime-laced sausage, and house-made noodles topped with featherlight fish cakes."
