“my favorite place in chinatown to get fish balls and rice rolls, or any quick snack. i always make sure to stop by when i get the chance. very good food. also the owners are extremely kind and friendly. very good people. will definitely recommend to others.“
“Raku in SoHo dishes out some seriously tasty udon! I went for the Niku Udon, which came loaded with juicy beef chunks. Plus, they add intestines to the noodles – a unique touch! ? The beefy soup gave me serious Thai beef boat noodle vibes, and the udon noodles were perfectly chewy. A must-try if you're in the area! ?“
“The ambiance here is so warm, bright, and inviting! The staff here is very friendly and attentive. The food here is absolutely delicious and reasonably priced too compared to other Thai spots. This place is large enough for small to large groups; great for birthday dinners with a lot of people.“
“Generally I give the total five star to this restaurant considering its flavor, service and environment. The steamed pot chicken soup is super good I will definitely choose this every time, on top of that I like sugar cake and highly recommend it. Besides, tomato beef soup, Dai style stir fried beef are also nice to try.“
“Ordered the spicy salmon ramen and takoyaki. The ramen was really good with a rich broth but it wasn't spicy at all and started to taste a bit salty at the end. I wouldn't recommend the takoyaki because the portions are very small with a single piece of octopus in it for 10 dollars. Otherwise a great experience! + the servers were super nice“
“Our group enjoyed dining at Lemongrass, the restaurant is modern with great ambience and service. The food was delicious with authentic Thai flavors. We really enjoyed their summer cocktail drinks, very pretty. We highly recommend the Lychee Shrimp appetizer, BBQ beef short ribs and coconut sticky rice with fresh mango.“
“This place is dope, I highly recommend.My KHAO SOI CHIANG MAI** Beef (Drunken Noodles) was fireeeeee with the Thai spicy as I requested and I enjoyed it.My friend had a roster duck and veggies and that was delicioussssssss.I’ll definitely go back! Keep it up folks ????❤️“
“It was a Sunday early evening and we didn't know where to go. We wanted to try a new place out and wandered here. We've wanted to try this place and decided that day we would try it out.Everything was good! From the drinks, to the food and the ambience. Good vibes all around.(Seen Photos section for pictures)“
“I love going to or even just ordering from Shan. Everything is fantastic (although I especially love their dan dan noodles). We usually share the Pork Dumplings in Chill Oil, the Ma-La Szechuan Wonton, Shrimp Dumplings, Pork Soup Dumpling, Crab Roe Soup Dumpling, Sweet & Spicy Udon, and Sliced pork belly w. mustard green.“
“POV: You come here for the incredibly good value 1-Michelin Star Korean soup noodles; you end up splurging on everything else.1. JEJU FRIED CHICKEN (3pc Chicken, Onion Powder, Yogurt Dip, Caviar) $362. TORO SSAM BAP (Fatty Tuna, Scrambled Egg, Tobiko Rice, Shallots, Jalapeño, Toasted Seaweed, Golden Osetra Caviar) $553.

“I'm just in shock with this place. We went without reservation and they told us we could wait approx 1 hour but at the end, we decided to wait and they gave us a table in 10 minutes. The staff was super nice, very attentive, and the food was Jesus Christ, with a lot of flavor, really delicious, we only ordered 2 dishes because we weren't super hungry, but the dessert and all of them 10/10. I'm really excited to be back and try the others. (:“
“Have been going here for years with friends. Food never has failed and the service is usually quick unless you go at peak hours, even then the wait isn’t as bad as most places. You can always alter what you want in it and add extra stuff like rice, soft boiled egg, and the premium yakibuta. Always full when we leave even if it’s just the bowl and a drink. Only two pictures I attached because I’ve gone here a couple times. side note I love their ice shape lol“
“Great prices for delicious food. I see why Guy Fieri has come here three times. The noodles are perfectly imperfect and the flavors are spot on. The only questionable thing about the place is that the duck is served bone-in which brought down my wife's enjoyment of her dish“
“Delicious authentic Thai food inspired by the vibrant floating markets of Thailand in a great location in Brooklyn and the service was friendly and attentive. The establishment isn't overly decorated or saturated with themed decor but has subtle hints of Thai culture throughout the restaurant which is nice. It has a cozy and intimate feel but it's super casual.On the menu:Mama Tom Yum grilled river prawnsCrying TigerShrimp DonutsDuck CrepeFloating marketWatermelon mojitoMango sticky riceThe food was delicious but the drinks were lacking in flavor as they both were unsweetened. Not sure if the bartender forgot an ingredient because both drinks were almost like drinking a seltzer. Very pretty but lacked flavor.Overall 9/10Ig: Thefunfluencer“
“One of the best ramen I ever had.They serve cold noodles with pork and lemon and in another bowl hot chicken and fish broth.You have to squeeze lemon on the noodles and then dip them in the hot broth.Result is an amazing flavour explosion.Will recommend this place for sure“
“Superb beef noodle soup. Delicious broth and extremely tasty beef. I'm addicted and the best thing is it's just as good if you order it for delivery, because they separate the noodles and the vegetables from the broth, so that when you combine them it is hot and fresh as if it just came out of the kitchen.“
“Caravan Uyghur Cuisine is a locally owned halal restaurant in the heart of FiDi. They offer authentic Uyghur dishes and appetizers. For dinner we ordered the Big Chicken plate and the spicy beef noodles.The quality of the food makes up for the delayed wait time in service. Expect a wait, but the quality of the food is worth it!Dietary restrictions: Halal options available“
“This small place, ideal for taking takeout, surprised us!We tried some dishes, all very good and with great Chinese flavor! We liked it a lot. In general in Chinatown, food is pretty cheap, so take advantage and put on your boots!I loved the stuffed bread roll. The contrast of sweet and salty makes it very special, so I recommend it 100%! The spring rolls are also delicious.The service was a bit slow even though we went at a time when there was no queue at all. The place is very small. They have tablets where you place the order to facilitate communication. Mandatory tip!!!“
“Easy to accidentally overlook this restaurant since the storefront looks like an old deli, but the man who runs the whole restaurant is a very good cook with a unique personality. I highly recommend the berry rice bowl and the kao soi noodle soup. Note, almost all his dishes are spicy but definitely worth going. One of my favorite spots in this city“
Ramen • $$
“We visited E.A.K. Ramen and were blown away at how wonderful our experience was. The service, food, and atmosphere were everything we were looking for. We recently visited Chicago and had ramen, which set the bar high. E.A.K. Ramen met our expectations and beyond. You can truly taste the love their team puts into preparing food. Our server even went out of her way to mix me a mocktail that ended up tasting better than the drink I originally had in mind. We will absolutely visit E.A.K. again. Thank you all for such wonderful service.“
“Food 9/10Gas deal. Crazy that I paid like 10 bucks for a massive plate of pork, duck, and chicken with veggies all over rice. Could not finish it but ate as much as I could and it was so so so worth it. Would definitely return to try their wonton soup next time. Easy place to go when you’re hungry and also have plenty of space for individual diners. Their hot tea was also very nice.Atmosphere 7/10Standard and simple cheap eats restaurant vibes.Service 10/10Great service. Bro was a g gave me an extra refill of the tea I very much appreciate!!“
“So if you stop here definitely just be prepared to eat outside on the street. It’s small inside so know your order ahead of time. I read reviews and got the pork burger but I would say skip it. I wasn’t impressed at all and the bun is a thick sesame seed bun like a bagel. The pork and chive dumplings were delicious and worth the stop however you can get dumplings anywhere else nearby. The prices can’t be beat here! I will say you definitely get a lot for your money.“
“Seriously the best pho place that I’ve ever been to!!Pho has really tasty deep broth and there is so much meat or seafood depending on what your order is. Not only pho is really good, spring rolls are also very fresh and tasty (seriously the best) and fried rice and pork chops are top notch!My entire family has been coming here ever since we found this place (we used to come here twice a week). Thank you so much for the good food and kind service!!“
“Found this place accidentaly on my lunch break. Place turned out to be nice. Staff was friendly. Place is small but efficient with extra space on the back that is utilized by the restaurant. Asked for my popcorn chicken to be mild spicy and for my veggie ramen to be medium and they did it exactly how I wanted it.“
“Everything is great! From food to service. My son-in-law is a Colombian and he can’t stop talking about the bulalo dish, he love it much. And my daughter-in-law, she’s Korean, she ordered tofu sisig, she took the leftover and label it so no one will eat it???. They can’t wait to go back to try the other dishes. I highly recommended Qsina 8!“
“Seated right away on a week night, got lucky bc of our party size. Others had to wait with a number outside.Soup dumplings larger and better flavor than anywhere else. Everything else was great as well. Service is typical chinese...fast and efficient and not all that pleasantry stuff. Water refills and table clearings all quick and no waits.We loved our experience. Their food is consistent. I cant say its the best chinese ever but pretty darn good!“
“The owner is super professional and nice to people, all their dishes are authentic from northeast to southwest China. The restaurant decorated warm and beautiful, makes you feel at home dinning room. If you are a MU fan then would get a surprise gift.“
“Nothing is better than a hot bowl of pho on a freezing winter night! My group ordered the Hu Tieu Kho (dry noodles) , Pho Bo, and Ngheu Xao Bo (clams).The clams had a ton of flavor (a bit on the sweeter side). My pho was good and the beef was really tender. The Hu Tieu Kho was a hit with my group as well.I would note that this is definitely on the pricier side for Viet food. Overall, a solid option if you're in the area though.“
“The taste is delicious, but I have the impression that it is slimier than what I eat in Japan.Preventing troubles caused by burns? I don't know what the needs are in the first place, but I think things like ramen are more lukewarm here than in Japan.I was missing Japanese food, so I appreciated the umami even more.“
“I ordered take out during a recent visit to NYC. I eat vegan (mostly), so I asked them to veganize their pad see ew, and also got an order of their summer rolls. Both were AMAZING. I had been having some pretty mediocre food at a lot of purely vegan restaurants, and I'm so glad I branched out for this meal. I just wish they could make their curries vegan, as I'm sure they would be delicious, too.“
“I've been taking my friends here for years and this is right across from my office. My favorite is the dan dan noodle. The staff is also very attentive and kind. I came back after picking up my food to ask for a to-go box and though they were super busy the guy remembered me and asked why I was back. When I mentioned I needed to-go container they checked which dish I got, and they communicated that quickly to each other and got me the box, and 2 bags to hold it (I had a lot of noodles/chili oil so it was double wrapped to stop things from spilling).I appreciate that they have such good food and are so attentive even when they're so busy!“
“Great service and quality, but a bit lacking in quantity. I ordered the chili ramen, and it came with just one slice of pork. It was good, but only one? Would have hoped for at least two. Price was about average for ramen in NYC ($18). The ramen broth had the right amount of salt, umami, and thickness. The pork belly was charred well. The noodles a bouncy texture and nice bite.I also ordered the salmon handroll which honestly was not worth the price ($7). The salmon was a small sliver the size of my index finger. Mostly stuffed with rice.Stick to the ramen and you’ll be satisfied - not stuffed, but satisfied.Parking: Narrow streets in financial district - avoid driving in.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs to enter the restaurant.“
“Blown away like a torpedo out of the water ? ?Michelin star quality BROTH with beef bone marrow. ??Ramen was good but the broth, oh the broth, no words …. I grew up here and ate pretty much at all the Asian hot spots from Mott St to cheap eats on Christie St. I wouldn’t have to pay more than $3.50 - $12 for a bowl of noodles.So $21 for this beef bone marrow ramen aka GYUKOTSU is damn excessive but rightly justified. I waited 15 minutes and well worth it ??I can devour this for lunch 7 days straight ?First time here and I sat at the beer garden mistakenly. A more chill & laid back Japan setting is a quick walk up the steps.2 establishments sharing 2 types of cuisine ✅✅“
“Hao noodle not just provides noodles but some really authentic Chinese dishes like sautéed eggplant with garlic sauce; sautéed sole fish in clay pot; stir fried vermicelli with prawn in XO sauce which are hardly find in Chinatowns. Great environment and highly recommended this place.“
“It was my first time here and the seafood kalguksu was so delicious. It's full of seafood, the broth is delicious, the servers are very friendly, and I highly recommend the soft tofu seafood kalguksu when you're craving something spicy. It's too bad I live far away and can't come often.“
“Food was amazing and the atmosphere was great. I've never had soup dumplings before and the pork soup dumplings were fantastic! I also tried the pan fried peking duck buns which was also amazing!The only negative was the speed of service, but definitely not enough to take away from the overall experience. I would definitely recommend and come back again!“
“A true experience!!! Delicious soups!!! In a small place!! And simple, but basic flavors of Chinese food but in New York!!!Recommendable!! Good prices!!If you need to use the bathroom, you ask and the manager or owner accompanies you up some stairs to a basement!!! Precarious but clean!!!“
Asian Fusion • $$
“This place is a vibe. Hidden gem. The host was so pleasant came over and wanted to make sure first experience was amazing. Had the Irish themes dumpling and chicken shrimp. Both fantastic and flavorful. The rice bowls were just as good. I would definitely come back.“
“The food here is great my favorite dish by far has to be the curry guidon beef rice set. It’s to die for by far my favorite Chinese restaurants. The customer service is vary friendly n kind. The atmosphere is vary relaxed n has a nice vibe. Great over all experience!!!“
“Would give 6 stars if possible. Great restaurant for vegetarians/vegans as they make all of their delicious dishes without fish sauce. Waiters were very courteous and never tried to rush our experience. The restaurant is decorated to make the Thai experience as authentic as possible. Celebrated a birthday there and the staff not only allowed us to bring a cake but they also cooled the cake in their fridge and presented it with candles and birthday music as well. It was a wonderful experience and I am excited to visit Charm Thai Cuisine again!Vegetarian options: Food can be made without egg as well“
“Very small mom and shop place for dumplings, ramen, fried rice etc .Restaurant is pretty small just to fit around 15- 20 ppl. We were a group of 6 with a kid and they helped us find a table and make arrangements.Food - Vegetarian Dumplings and Buns are super tasty and definitely must try. Ramen was OK ..not bad.Dessert - Frankly, I didn't enjoy the dessert as it was overly sweet and too much cream cheese filling. Many people were ordering it thoughService - it's good. kitchen closes pretty early by 8 20 so make sure you place your order before that.I will definitely come back here to eat dumplings and buns!!Vegetarian options: There are few veg optionsParking: Street parking“
“Food is authentic. The waiters can be a bit abrasive. The portion of food is humongous! Prices are $12-$15 per plate. Very tiny place, and it's super warm down there. If you're claustrophobic, I wouldn't suggest this place! Lol!“
“I have been here a couple times with various groups of friends and have dined alone. Service is outstanding and I love the tea that’s offered with each meal. Everything is fresh and reasonably priced. It is a great local spot and will continue to go back again and again.“
“Owned by the sweetest old couple, I've been coming here literally since I was 5 and it brings me back so many memories! Hands down the best handmade noodles and broth. I do recommend eating it there though, noodles get soggy in broth when taking out.“
“I've been here 4 times in the past month now. The food slaps. Makes me feel like I'm back in Shanghai. Chef/owner is very welcoming and passionate about his food. The menu is a mix of authentic Shanghainese food and more mainstream NYC Chinese food. I recommend the pan fried dumplings （生煎吧）, lions head meatballs （狮子头）, and crab tofu （蟹粉豆腐）. I love the warm and casual vibes and Baodega has definitely become my new neighborhood spot.“
“When I go out for dinner, I can eat a bowl of beef noodle soup just like in Vietnam, grilled chicken rice is also very delicious.I'm visiting Vietnam so I only go to eat Vietnamese food, but now I park my car nearby because it's delicious and delicious ?đ“
“I eat here whenever I need to slurp on some noodles bc the broth and the decent portion of ramen ? is ?. Tbh I was surprised how this was in Newark cause the outside for a sec can make u think the shop is abandoned yet once you go inside you smell what’s been cooking. The price is definitely right ($13) and I am happy a plate of DELICIOUS and savory ramen isn’t overpriced like other places. I enjoy coming here as it’s very fulfilling. And this place definitely deserves it’s recognition as it’s 2 good 2 b true 2 be in Newark (no offense) ?♀️. Overall, the vibes and food, plus free WiFi and outlets is a place Ik I can enjoy a meal while doing work or relaxing. Either way Ramen Gami is “
“Popped into this place again cause I couldn't shake off the craving for their wonton noodle soup, y'know. It was a bit busier than last time, but hey, the service didn't miss a beat - quick and to the point, just how I like it. Decided to try the pork xlb this round and, man, did it hit the spot with that thin, chewy wrapper and tasty pork filling. Also threw in an order of beef chow fun because why not, and it didn't disappoint either. Wrapped up the meal feeling full and satisfied, all for around 10 bucks, so yeah, still stands as my go-to spot for a no-fuss, hearty meal.“
“Food is really delicious. Good value. Lots of seating available.Vegetarian options: The steamed wheat noodles with wheat gluten is a great option and you can choose the level of spiciness you want. The "normal" is pretty spicy btw.“
“Chicken and broccoli was tasty and fresh. Good portion size. Thankfully not greasy. Lady taking the order was quick and friendly. Small restaurant but classic Chinese takeout environment with a few tables if you want to eat in. I would definitely order here again.“
