“Amazing, uncomplicated food that's tasty and really good value. The challah bread is particularly good, and I love the potato soup. It's also a very welcoming place to eat if you're on your own - just take a seat at the counter!“
“We stumbled upon it by chance, wandering around the area and entered attracted by the menu. The place is special, the girls who serve the tables are really thoughtful and kind. Very good fries and also the salmon burger sandwich, good, plentiful and not overly seasoned like everything else in these parts.“
“I have never tasted Chinese cuisine as delicious as this before. The intricate blend of flavors, the perfect balance of spices, and the presentation of the dish are simply phenomenal. It's an experience that is both satisfying to the palate and visually appealing. Truly the best Chinese cuisine I have ever had the pleasure of trying!“
“We were a group of 25 with a preset menu of 4 selections. The service was very friendly, the meals were delicious and service was great. We had a birthday to celebrate and you joined us in song and music. Thank you for a memorable lunch with our visitors from Israel.“
“The food was the best. I have never had anything like this in my life and it's truly amazing. The steak melts in your mouth and it filled my stomach with joy. And the desserts where do I even start everything was masterfully crafted and made with love. You can tell that the chefs really care about every dish that they make and take pride in it too. Also the staff are incredibly kind and helpful. Also the vibe was really cool we are in these barrels which had a nice atmosphere and further played into the overall experience of this steakhouse.“
“They did an amazing job on my daughter’s unicorn birthday cake, it literally took my breath away when I saw it! My 4 year old had the same reaction! My daughter is allergic to sesame and tree nuts, so I’m thrilled to have found this bakery for all of her celebration cakes!“
“Phenomenal vegan fare but its so much more than that.Vlad is an excellent host who really focuses on a fostering a real sense of community, encouraging evenings that focus on muscicians, writers, activists or just hanging out and having a good time!“
“My daughter is very picky with ice cream and saw a Facebook ad requesting we go. We went and ordered 4 different things in the hopes she’d eat something. She finished her entire ice cream and literally gave it a thumbs up. Usually she eats 1-2 bites and says she’s done. My 2 year old swapped between his and mine because he couldn’t decide what was better. My husband finished his first and doesn’t usually eat ice cream. We got strawberry sorbet, Greek yogurt, Belgium chocolate, chocolate hazelnut Oreo-one was made into a sandwich nothing but deliciousness!“
“Mr. Luzi Friedman was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He helped me plan a great menu and the set up and service was excellent. He always answered my calls and was accommodating to all of my requests. A true professional with excellent customer service! Thank you Mr. Friedman for a beautiful event !“
“It was worth standing in line for half an hour that stretched around the block!!! The line moves quite quickly, you get a note that you keep and pay according to what is written on it at the end. At the stand, they let you taste the meat so that you can decide beforehand what to take. We took the classic pastrami. It's just a huge sandwich! We shared it, so the price in my opinion was not terrible, but keep in mind that it is almost 30 dollars for a sandwich. In our opinion it was worth it. The pastrami melts in your mouth and the pickles they make are excellent. There is a lot of fat in this so be prepared.“
“The food is always amazing, unique and generous portion size.Recently did a sheva brachos in house, and the owner and staff outdid themselves. They were attentive, accommodating and responsive. Also added some fish entrees for those who requested. They even set up Spotify Jewish music for us! The guests were comfortable and happy, and the restaurant did everything we contracted and more. Leftovers were packed nicely and efficiently for distribution. We would definitely do this again!Wheelchair accessibility: street level access“
“First time here. Read great things about this place so wanted to try. There were 8 people ahead of us but the line seemed to move pretty fast and the vibe I got was that you should know what you want before you make it to the front of the line. We got plain, cinnamon raisin, rye, and everything. The size of the bagel was smaller than what you’d normally see but the doughiness and freshness was great (the cinnamon raisins had just come out of the oven). I’m not complaining about the size because i think bagels are typically too big and I usually cut it in half and save it for later but this was a perfect size. Would definitely come back.“
“Excellent service and atmosphere. Good background music and very pleasant hostess. Steak was perfect with a nice crusty pepper salt top and pink center. Wish they included some crusty bread and a mash potato option. Fries make a good steak cheap.“
“This was hands down one of my best dining experiences in recent memory. My friend and I came here to celebrate our recent birthdays. We had no idea that it was a vegan restaurant, but it didn't matter because the food was beyond amazing; the atmosphere and decor were great (LOVE those little minimalist Italian-designed lamps on the tables); and the service was the best I've experienced in years! Full disclosure: I'm a bit of a carnivore, but their udon shitake special is nothing short of heavenly. My friend had the raw sampler platter and also enjoyed it immensely (we should have taken photos). We enjoyed freshly-made sangria with our meal, courtesy of our server, Enrique. He was a revelation, with such a great sense of humor that we were laughing like old friends, plus he told us there's live music later in the evening. They're definitely getting a return visit!!“
“I think this restaurant is a true gem in New York City. I went with some friends from Who are Kosher. I personally do not keep kosher and always assume that I will not enjoy a kosher restaurant as much. This restaurant went above and beyond my expectations, food, atmosphere and service. Food was amazing and as good as any highly rated, unkosher restaurant out there.I would definitely come back again whether or not I was with a group that needed to eat kosher. I have already recommended it to other orthodox friends and familily members.Parking: I was able to park on the street right nearby for free. Doesn’t mean everyone will be able to do that but there is a good chance.“
“We were a party of 12 for our holiday dinner on 12/6/2023. It was a fantastic experience from them greeting us, seating us, the service and the food. We loved the location, the environment, the pace of the evening and all of the choices. Definitely recommend.“
“Best vegan food in NJ. Extensive Chinese menu and also other Asian cuisines. Just very well done, clean food. The restaurant itself is just very clean and simple nothing fancy. Food is outstanding.Vegetarian options: All vegan Chinese food and other Asian cuisine offerings.Dietary restrictions: All vegan“
“Delicious fast casual Mediterranean food.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options to choose fromDietary restrictions: Check with the server, they have items that work for allergen restrictions.Parking: Hard to find parking in the street.Kid-friendliness: Plenty to choose from for kids, but no set menu.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor, seemed accessible.“

“What can I say Buddha Bodhi never f**king miss!!! Try everything there's truly nothing that's not incredibly delicious. I've come here with small groups and large groups and it's always a crowd pleaser. Especially recommended all porridges and the szechuan (vegan) beef! They have a fair amount of gluten options, my friend has celiacs (highly sensitive) and when she ate here there were a decent selection for her and she felt fine afterwards. Service staff was also very attentive and compassionate when we asked about their gluten free menu. A blessing to have good vegan Chinese food in NY to appreciate anytime I want!“
“Bibimbap..Bibimbap..Bibimbap!!! Say it three times fast!!! It's a tongue twister for sure! My palate decided to be adventurous on my recent lunch in Soho. I started walking down Broome Street and in limbo between Little Italy and Chinatown. Talk about a "fork" in the road. I decided to follow my palate and the fork guided me to Wild Ginger. I had never dined on Asian Vegan before. I was seated and studied the menu: Seitan ? Is it like tofu? Sorta.. mimics the taste of chicken. The menu dazzled me: Eggplant? Pho? Salad? Pineapple fried rice? Then I saw Bibimbap and knew my nephew raves about this dish. I decided to be daring and asked to omit the kimchi. I'll be more daring another day. I took in the atmosphere and loved the curtains and white brick walls and bamboo shade lamps. The restaurant is small but cozy. My iced green tea arrived first and it tasted freshly made, simply delicious. Then my bowl of bibimbap: coconut rice, seitan , black and green seaweed, avocado, mango salsa, spinach and adzuki beans (red mung bean) .I must say beautiful presentation! I picked up my metal chopsticks ( practice, practice!) and mixed well and added peanut dressing. I went for the seitan first which far away, looks like raw tuna. The taste? I really can't describe it but it was very tasty. The mix of veggies, salsa, avocado and coconut rice was very interesting and delicious. There are other delicious dishes to explore: eggplant with string beans, Malaysian curry stew and General Tso's soy. There are lunch specials up until 3 pm, service is sweet and professional. I had a bit of questions about bibimbap and my server was kind and patient in answering. Well next time you face a " fork" in the road and find yourself between two continents, take Fawn's path: Asia for lunch and Italy for dessert.. I ordered a cappuccino to go from Caffe Roma across the street. Who says you can't have the best of both worlds?“
“The food was absolutely amazing. For reference I got a pink lemonade, Buffalo wings which came with carrots, celery, and dip. My mom got French toast with bacon, homefries and a green power smoothie. It all had so much flavor, and the texture of the wings was perfect. Would definitely return to this place. Staff was friendly too.“
“This is an iconic and go to spot in the Lower East Side to have a sweet or savory (or both) knish! I always make the walking trip to order a sweet potato or apple strudel knish to start my morning or have as an afternoon snack. I find comfort in getting it warmed up at the ideal temperature so I can easily bite in and enjoy while sitting at a nearby park or walking and snacking. The cashier I usually see is very kind and makes sure the knish is warmed up perfectly (I believe they ask you if you want it warmed up). [Side note, I usually order a coffee or cappuccino from a coffee shop in West 4th to pair beautifully with either my sweet potato or apple strudel knish] I highly recommend coming and spreading the word about this place. It's a historical foodie destination and should be shared one knish at a time.“
“I stopped by Patis Bakery for an early morning meeting today. This establishment is located within the Arthouse Hotel and is a great spot on the Upper West Side for coffee, pastries, and getting some work done. The living room area is very well decorated and cozy. This place was packed on a Tuesday morning, so I'm not the only one who likes it here!“
“Can't speak for anything else but bubble tea, leaving review here as the restaurant doesn't show up for having bubble tea but the board outside the restaurant listed them as selling bubble tea.Selection was relatively standard for a non-dedicated bubble tea location (powdered tea flavors, Thai tea / taro / etc., less than 10 flavors), they get 4 stars though because the bubbles did not taste too stale despite being after 7p on a weekday. Not 5 stars though for volume of bubbles, as the amount of bubbles was less than expected.However in this particular zone of NYC with limited bubble tea near the W4th train station stop, not bad, dare I say your best nearby option if you need some nearby bubble tea before getting on the train.Did not have to wait long at all for boba take-out so giving service 5 stars.“
“Great food, great prices, very accommodating of our large (30 person) group and the timing of our pick-up. Just excellent all around!Vegetarian options: Lots!Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating of a variety of dietary needs (vegan, celiac, etc)“
“Kosher Chinese!I recently had an amazing takeout experience at Kosher Express in Fairlawn! From the moment I placed my order, I knew I was in for a treat.

Their menu offers a wide variety of mouthwatering options, all prepared with attention to detail and flavorful ingredients. Every dish I ordered was packed with incredible flavors and portion sizes were generous. The staff took care in packaging the food, ensuring it arrived fresh and ready to be enjoyed.Kosher Express truly stands out for their commitment to maintaining kosher standards. As someone who values kosher dining, it was reassuring to know that every item on the menu adhered to the highest kosher guidelines. This dedication to authenticity and quality made my takeout experience even more special.If you're looking for a memorable takeout experience with delicious kosher food, I highly recommend Kosher Express in Fair Lawn.

“Probably the best kosher pizza I ever had hands down.I got two slices and fries absolutely delicious!The pizza itself is a thin slice with a nice char but also a good chew yummy sauce and not too sweet and then the cheese I don’t know what mix it is but so flavourful.Definitely gotta make my way back soon.“
“I've had Laffa Shawarma and Laffa chicken.Tastes good, good portion and fairly priced.Very few selections of add-ons to your meal, the place itself is as basic as it gets, but clean.Will occasionally return since there are no other options for Israeli Shawarma in the area.“
“Whether you're looking for a selection of old-school Jewish appetizers, like pickled herring, the lox and cream and onion sauce, or prepared kosher entrées, this establishment will do the trick! Even better it's glat kosher and Shomer Shabbos! They're kosher for Passover Pizza is a real annual treat. And if I'm not mistaken, their fried chicken which they make fresh every Tuesday, it's absolutely fabulous.“

“Not just great pizza... there's so much on the menu! Our favorite: Teddy's Moroccan vegetarian cigars with his incredible homemade hummus on the side. (Warning: after tasting this hummus, you will never be able to eat store-bought hummus again!) He also makes and bottles his own hot sauce, Tadmore, which is excellent! Teddy and his wife and staff are super friendly and eager to make their customer happy. Go try it and see for yourself!“
“After walking around the museum and constantly smelling the aroma of the café, I decided to come in for a bite. Noticed it was a very small sitting area but also an option to go to the counter and takeout.Servers were very friendly and quick to help. I ended up ordering a matzo ball soup, potato latkes, and a slice of chocolate babka.Food came out in a reasonable timeframe. The broth of the matzo ball soup was delicious and very filling. The soup itself was 18$.I'm giving four stars because when my potato latkes came out, it was just 5 potato chip sized latkes with a spoonful of sour cream and apple sauce. For 23$, I was very disappointed by the portion. Points for tasting exactly how my father used to make them.The chocolate babka was fresh and tasty.Overall an excellent experience and delicious food options!“
“I wandered by this place and went in to look around. I left with a large container of beef stew and some rice pilaf. It is truly tasty. The place has been there for over 50 years and there's a reason. No, they're not overly welcoming or solicitous but that's they way I like it! Great food done simply. So good“

“It was a miserable, heavy rain Saturday and really fancied some good matzo ball soup. First time at this place, literally googled ‘best matzo ball soup in Bergen County’, don’t regret the decision. We had two soups, a potato knish and a pastrami sandwich. The knish was really hot, best left to cool a bit… but it was probably the best one I’ve ever had. The soup, the matzo ball was really light, the soup had good flavor and not salty… my husband really enjoyed the sandwich too. definitely worth returning to for some comfort food.“
“A great selection at a good price. The customer service is excellent, very friendly and great at helping you find what you need or give recommendations of something new to try. I have been able to rely on this place for a good selection at different price points. From reds to whites and whisky to vodka, they had a great selection with exactly what I needed at a bargain price.“

“Really solid falafel, if not exploding with flavor, it was still delicious. Almost 5 stars but not quite because of playing it safe with the spices. Perfect ratio of tahini, tomatoes, cucumber, ask for pickles. Actually, you can request any item from their little display and it’s included…feta, marinaded garbanzos, etc. It’s quite good! Pricing is reasonable. Music is good. You just sit at a counter facing the quiet street.“
“When you step into Benjy's Kosher Pizza, you'll witness Benny's unwavering commitment to handcrafting each pizza. This devotion to tradition guarantees a uniquely special experience every time you visit. The pizza here is nothing short of amazing, and I can't recommend it enough – a must-try culinary gem!“

“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.“
“The food was on point I ordered a salad and it was the best I’ve ever had. By the way one of the chefs named Billy made my order and he was on point the delicacy and how he handled my food was excellent. And it seems like everyone was waiting for him to make their food so he’s a well-known favorite I can see…. Keep up the good work buddy. Also the server: name Jensen was was caring and kind. Thank you.“
