“Best sushi in the area. Always very fresh sushi and perfect fish to rice ratio (not too much rice like many other places around here do). I've tried other places around here but always go back to Daruma as it's by far superior in the quality of food.“
“This place has amazingly fresh sushi. Not the best for cooked food like chicken teriyaki and such, but for sushi, it's a great price and some of the best sushi around, regardless of price. Not much of a sit down place, so my husband and I always take it to go, although there are tables if you want to eat there. It's very clean inside and the guys are always super nice. If you want a solid sushi dinner, I can't recommend enough!“
“I have been coming here consistently for the last two years and the food never disappoints. The BEST Asian food in Englewood and always hits the spot. I highly recommend their lunch classics, such as the Thai Coconut curry sauce. The sushi rolls are immaculate. Lo mein is also extremely good.“
“I have been coming here since it was blue moon and for over 10 years i have been a customer of theirs. Their food is amazing, service is top notch and now that they have re-done the interior it is stunning!! I have never heard of Japanese/Mexican but i am excited to try to Japanese side of it! Mexican is always a top 3 for me.“
“Place is wonderful, great atmosphere, they will squeeze you in regardless of how busy they are. Btw this is our second day in a row eating here. We woke up this morning and couldn’t stop thinking about yesterday’s lunch. Dinner was amazing….hidden gem. BYOB ❤️“
“Ottimo ristorante di Ramen (giapponese e non quello "tarocco" o fatto con quello istantaneo del supermercato) che offre anche una fantastica selezione di ravioli. Prezzi tutto sommato accettabili per la media della città e acqua gratuita. Posto piccolo, accogliente, staff cordiale e velocissimo. Porzioni corpose quindi ordinate con cautela o non riuscirete a finire tutto.“

“The 4.8 rating after 185 reviews made me question this restaurant. How could they have that high of a rating with such a large sample size. After going there I’m on the hunt to find those individuals that made this score not a perfect 5. Service was exceptional (especially when considering the normal pricing). Sushi quality was the best I’ve ever had in every food I ate (miso soup wasn’t too salty). Complimentary miso and a roll from the chef. There is not a single thing I could complain about and I look forward to giving this establishment as much business as possible.“
“This location is hands-down a high-quality place. I'm currently in grad school, and this place has never failed me when I order something to go. I've tried most of the main dishes and they are all great. The food has lots of flavor and is always served hot. When I order delivery, the order is always delivered quickly and the customer service is great. I highly recommend everyone in the neighborhood give this place a try.“
“Came here on a cold Wednesday night and absolutely was blown away by their ramen. Specifically the Tabata ramen was top notch!! On the menu it notes that the Tabata ramen is spicy but it is not (I don't tolerate spicy foods well so was hesitant to order). It was amazing and the service was quick and friendly. I usually like trying different ramen places every time I get it but will definitely return and make this an UES staple restaurant for me!“
“I went there for lunch with my colleagues, and we liked it there. With $13.99, the lunch menu has one Wantang soup and rice bowl along with a main dish. I would like to go there again because it is close to my office, and I love Sichuan food.“

“The service attitude is very good. She kept asking us if it suits our taste. I think it is very considerate. The lady has a very good service attitude. She helped us take photos and gave guidance. The food is delicious. I recommend the Pad Thai the most.“
“Upon arriving on March 14, 2024 at 6:45pm, I was 0kindly greeted by two very polite and courteous servers. The food was exceptional and so was the service. I will be going back and bringing others with me. I so appreciated the hospitality. KUDO! ❤️ ?Vegetarian options: Great meal with sesame string beans.“
“This place has the best jok bal (pork feet) in Fort Lee/Cliffside Park.Also recommend their pork bone soup with potatoes - it's hearty and not too spicy, yet full of flavors. However it's not the best I've had.Price is fair and service is friendly. Plenty of parking in the plaza nearby. May need to wait on weekends.“
“Super tasty batten ramen, I like it and the appetizers are delicious, it’s funny that they have Manga for foreigners since we don’t know the language! (There should be something for all languages.?) But the food is very delicious, I faithfully recommend it..“
“The food was so good! I’ve been to Bangkok and Phuket, plenty of times and this place really captures the authentic art of Thai cuisine. Will definitely be returning to try more of what’s on their menu!Parking: Plenty of spots around the restaurant.“
“This is my third time, and every time the food is served very quickly, and I get sour plum soup every time. I am allergic to beef, so I chose pork belly. The meat quality is very good, very tender, and there are many barbecue toppings. Recommended??“
“Quick dinner! I got the shrimp dumplings with a count of 4. The shrimp dumplings were very juicy and good! For my main entree I got the low mein with pork. The pork was not good and not cooked very much long. It had many way too fatty pieces. Otherwise the restaurant is a 7/10. So it is average. There could be better restaurants than this.“
“Been coming to this place for over 10 years and finally getting around to write a well deserved review. Whether it be their lunch special or dinner menu, they do not disappoint. My favorite is their dry pot dish, braised beef noodle soup, and the sweet and tangy orange beef. The appetizers are excellent as well as the typical Szechuan cuisines. Please do not change the chef and will keep coming back.“
“Had the spicy karaki pork ramen. It was so tasty, I highly recommend having it. It was absolutely delicious. When we got it, we weren't sure if we would be able to finish, but it was over in no time :) Ambiance is great too. We were meeting a friend after long and were able to make conversation. We did have to wait a good 30-40 mins before we got a table, but well worth it!“
“Went to Thai at Lex with a friend and ordered chicken pad Thai with a side order of spring rolls and thai iced tea. We had a pleasant server and enjoyed the atmosphere. The place had good traffic in the take out section and that gave me a sense that people like the food. I would definitely go again when I'm in the area.“
“The district pho (with bone broth) was super flavorful and left me thinking about it for a week. So, a week later I ordered from here again only to try the standard pho. It was great and the brisket was heavenly, but I can tell the difference bone broth makes. The Thai tea was also very good! I will be ordering again!“
“The attentive staff and friendly owner set this restaurant apart from others of its kind by making me feel at home. I've enjoyed several of their chicken dishes and the vegetables are cooked nicely. If you're there at the right time you can get fresh homemade shrimp chips or a jelly dessert! Students from nearby high schools dine in as well. Would recommend a visit if you're in the area.“
“Tried many Korean BBQ this one is the best! Came in on a rainy day and ordered beef combo. We were amazed by the portion that came out, and all of the food the was just cooked to the perfection. The staff were even more amazing - they are super nice, attentive and considerate, who made experience very pleasant! Would definitely come back again!“
“This is a cozy Thai restaurant with lovely decor I decided to check out. The food here is very authentic and also very high quality. We tried several items - chicken satay, curry puffs, tom yum soup, duck wrap, and the basil chicken. Everything tasted very fresh and flavorful, with the curry puffs standing out as probably the best selection. The staff was also very friendly and constantly checked up on us. In my opinion, this place and Arunee are the best Thai places in Jackson Heights.“
“Ban Ban Shop is a very cute fusion restaurant that opened across from Columbia University that serves a banh mi, baos, rice bowls, maki rolls, and grain bowls. 3.5 stars: I was very excited to try the banh mi here, but was lowkey disappointed. I ordered the Five Spice Roasted Pork Banh Mi. Don't get me wrong, the pork is very well seasoned/marinated and tender. Unfortunately, the baguette here is too soft, and the oil from the pork does seep through. The key to a good banh mi is the baguette - light on the inside with a thin and crispy crust. You'll know the baguette is good when the roof of your mouth gets destroyed by the time you finish it.“
“53 is a Beautiful Restaurant located right next to the Museum of Modern Art. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try if your looking for an amazing asian fusion dinning experience. The restaurant is so beautiful with two very nice wide open bars. Highly recommend the Samon Carpaccio and the Dumplings! Only complaint is the menu is very small.Kid-friendliness: Im sure it wouldn't be a prpblem but definitely a high class atmosphereWheelchair accessibility: They do have an elevator but it was out of service when I went“
“Stepping into this Filipino fast food breakfast spot, I was immediately greeted by the inviting aroma of Tapsilog and Lumpia, signature dishes that promise a quick yet authentic taste of the Philippines. The fast, friendly service and the mouthwatering flavors of perfectly seasoned beef paired with garlic rice and the crunchiness of fresh Lumpia offered a satisfying, flavorful start to the day, proving that great Filipino food can be enjoyed even on the go.“
“Menya Sandaime Ramen offers a delightful culinary experience with their flavorful ramen and exceptional service. The rich, savory broth paired with perfectly cooked noodles creates a delicious combination that keeps you coming back for more. The attentive and friendly staff add to the overall dining pleasure, making it a must-visit spot for any ramen enthusiast.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian ramen option“
“Allow me to extol the virtues of my recent dining experience at Raku Izakaya, an establishment that exquisitely marries culinary mastery with impeccable hospitality. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening.Raku Izakaya's menu is a symphony of flavors, expertly curated to delight even the most discerning palate. Each dish presented an artful fusion of traditional Japanese techniques with contemporary flair, showcasing the chef's dedication to both tradition and innovation. From delicate sushi rolls bursting with freshness to robust izakaya-style small plates brimming with bold flavors, every bite was a revelation.Yet, it is not only the exceptional cuisine that distinguishes Raku Izakaya, but also the impeccable service and attention to detail. The staff exhibited a genuine passion for their craft, effortlessly guiding me through the menu and ensuring that every aspect of my dining experience exceeded expectations.As I reflect on my time at Raku Izakaya, I am filled with a sense of gratitude for having had the opportunity to partake in such an exceptional culinary journey. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Raku Izakaya to anyone seeking an unparalleled dining experience that transcends mere sustenance to become a true culinary adventure.“
“Loveddd the spicy popcorn chicken! I should gotten the large. Very flavorful, there is a definite kick and a burn to the sauce. I will definitely return to try the original flavor and get the large popcorn chicken again. The cashier was very polite and I appreciated the care she applied to packaging my order.I hope everyone has a great new year.“
“(4.5 stars) Extremely attentive service, quiet and relaxed yet intricate ambience. The food was very reasonably priced (for NY prices) for modern Chinese cuisine. Favorite dish was probably the lychee shrimp balls in both taste and presentation. We also ordered the mushroom pancakes (it was ok) and Peking duck. The Peking duck was a bit smaller in portion than what we had expected (seems less than a half), and taste is also on the mid to lower end compared to other similar modern Chinese cuisines.“
“This place always seems to be busy. So I finally got a chance to check it out. Even though they didn't have what I wanted on the menu they customize my order just how I want it!! I really appreciate that, the staff was very friendly and nice!“
“So Kong Dong is one of my favorite Korean restaurants. It's homey, comforting, and the prices are extremely fair for both the quantity and quality. I would highly recommend the squid dolsot (a hot stone bibimbap, where the stone bowl sizzles and browns the rice on the bottom)! This dish was only ~$20, which I thought was fair for the value and absolutely delicious. They don't skimp on the squid either, which can be a sticking point sometimes at other restaurants. Overall, amazing experience. Down to earth, excellent quality, and an all around great place. Don't skip on So Kong Dong the next time you're in Fort Lee!“
“Ordered takeout on Uber eats - my new favorite sushi spot for sure!!! Philly role added cucumber, avocado peanut roll added mango dipped in dynasty sauce, kani salad added extra spicy Mayo, veggie spring rolls (buy one get one free), miso soup & the crab rangoons? omg so delish & everything was fresh!! Highly recommend crab rangoons“
“Got the eggplant dish and a bowl of rice, and it was fantastic! There was no wait on a Friday night at 7pm for two. Food came out quick and it was plenty for me and my friend. We had a Broadway show to catch and it worked out well since it’s close to Times Square.All the staff are very friendly and can provide good recommendations as well. There are plenty of vegetarian options.There is one bathroom.“
“Bonchon is THE brand for a reason. Great Korean chicken, always hits the spot, consistent. Very crispy without ever being crunchy. Very flavorful without really sticky fingers.It takes a while longer than other wings to cook, but it's worth the wait.“
“My friend ordered from here takeout while I was with her. I tried a whole bunch of different foods she bought for like $55 worth. They were all very good from 5 different dishes I tried.Parking: Maybe 7 spots of parking but that's good enough. I think there are spots across the street too. I wasn't paying that much attention because it was a spontaneous visit.“
“Been 20 years in NY, and tried tons of Ramen Shop, and devastated when i didn’t get the taste of Authenticity.And i’ve met this Japanese guy and ask, if he can recommend a taste if Japan Ramen.After i told him my experience of trying some Ramen,, and that’s it! When he told me NARUTO, you will love it, he said. And from then, i only go to Naruto“
“One of my favorite ramen spots! It's consistently good and I love going here and taking different people so they can experience it too! But a fair warning the steps outside are a little sketch when I went the other day I fell leaving the restaurant and got banged up a bit. Imma still go back tho the food is great.“
“Great kosher place with a cool vibe. The menu is pretty big and the service was extremely nice and helpful. Food tasted fresh and amazing.Vegetarian options: No meat in the store, if you don't want fish they have many non fish items as wellDietary restrictions: Kosher and vegetarianWheelchair accessibility: Ground level“
“Great menu selection for Korean/Japanese food. There is a large public parking lot with access to the rear entrance to the restaurant so it's quite convenient. The restaurant has plenty of tables and the service is good. The food is delicious and comes in large portions. Suggest you pay in cash for additional discount.“
“This is definitely one of the best Korean restaurants in Fort Lee. The dumplings were so flavorful and juicy, you definitely need to try them! My main meal was kimichi soondubu and the flavor was so powerful and delicious I can’t wait to eat it again!!! It was also served with a side of pork from the grill and rice. I can’t wait to come back and try the 5 course meal. Truly this restaurant is a gem, the pictures speak for themselves. 5/5! ?“
“The ambiance is awesome! I highly recommend Hanami Restaurant in Cresskill. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic! Special thanks to Apple, Danny, Jeff, and Bing ( sushi chefs ) . Never been disappointed as we come and dine three times a week.“

“Ambiance: small and intimate space. No frills. Street parking on small streets. Service: the whole process is slow. The cooking of the food aka grilling stuff the old school way over a coal grill, took a longgggg time that I got buzzed sipping on my hot sake. Order a shitload of food because you will be hungry waiting for the next round of food and it will take even longer to get more food once the place starts getting packed. Wait staff is very nice tho. Food: I have ZERO complaints about the food. Everything we ate was delicious. Who knew intestines and chicken skin could be so delicious???? Even the crispy chicken gizzards was so yum. The food is tapas style so it adds up and the bill can have a bit of a woah factor, especially when buzzed.“
“Having returned the day before after two weeks in Japan, I was impressed (but not at all surprised) to find the food at Sushi of Gari to be just as good if not better than the high-end sushi restaurants I'd sampled. Gari set the standard for sushi in NYC decades ago and continues to amaze!“
“Lin's might be my new local go-to for pan-Asian cuisine in North Bronx! My takeout order was ready for pick up within minutes, the staff was friendly, and everything was packaged perfectly. The inside was clean and spacious when I stepped in with a nice, casual atmosphere when I stepped in.As for the food, everything tasted fresh, delicious, and perfectly satisfying! I had the chicken fried rice, the spicy crunch salmon roll, the pepper tuna avocado roll, and the shrimp tempura roll. All of the rolls tasted great-- the best one being the pepper tuna for me-- and the preparation and quality really allowed the flavors to shine. However, my favorite item turned out to be the chicken fried rice. The chicken tasted just a bit caramelized for a savory, umami-rich dish that was not at all greasy. I would definitely come back just for this fried rice!Overall, Lin's was definitely worth it with the reasonable prices justifying the portion sizes and quality of the food!“
“This place is terrific! The special sushi and barna roll truly excellent. BYO helps with the fairly pricy tab. Service is very attentive. Major problem is the deafening sound. I go early, before 6, which works for me. Great alternative to Seki and Gari. Highly recommend.“
“Hey I mean, been there 2 times so far. Very reasonably priced. Got the lomein and crispy chicken; delicious! Also springrolls were super good. Also got the udon noodles and orange chicken another time, also amazing. Again, reasonably priced. Went with 5 people and it came out to $200.“
“Their Sauce that they sell is good but TOO SWEET for my taste. I wish they will Fix their Ingredient Label, you can see there is Sugar but not sure if there are other words not visible. I Loved the thick Skinned Dumplings, this way it will not break when I Boil it in hot water.Vegetarian options: They had Veggies Dumplings in the Freezer.“
