“We really enjoyed our experience at Kimika. The cocktails were amazing - unique with great flavors. I loved the kaga milk punch, shishitorita and the unami in kenmare.Dishes are a fusion of Japanese flavors in Italian style dishes, such as the sticky rice arancini served on a Japanese curry sauce. Other menu highlights were the tuna tartare, hamachi collar, truffle carbonara, rigatoni, and the steak.Dont miss the yakult soft serve for dessert!Staff were very friendly and helpful with recommendations.We were seated in a back room which felt private with so much space on the large tables.“
“Shout out to the chefs!!! Have an allergy and they were super accommodating. Food was delicious. Absolutely recommend everything we tastedDietary restrictions: I can't eat onions, they were very accommodating as far as what dishes could be modified“
“Tried the TikTok viral restaurant. It used to be a Michelin one-star in 2021 and 2022. Although it has lost its Michelin star last year, I still think it’s my favorite Italian restaurant in NYC so far. Had a fantastic experience here!The salad turned out to be a game-changer. As someone who typically shies away from salads, Don Angie's version won me over with its unique flavors and freshness. Each bite was a testament to the restaurant's commitment to excellence.Don Angie lived up to its viral acclaim. My friend and I walked in at 9:15 pm, and we got seated in 20 minutes!! Strongly recommend this way of dining.“
“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! ?“
“Nice restaurant. I had to wait 10 minutes for a seat at the bar to become available.The dishes are classic Italian. Formally nothing complicated, but everything was done very well. And this is difficult)))Carpaccio with artichoke fire. Cacho pepe is also very good.The interior is great.I like it“
“Fantastic food, fun take on diner staples! Every dish is a version of something you might get somewhere else, just made excellent. Casual atmosphere, but also buzzy and fun. Make a reservation for dinner or get there early for brunch because it does get quite crowded. You probably won’t have a super long meal (food comes out quite quickly - just like a good diner!).“
“I enjoyed their burger which tasted fresh. Their fries were nice and crispy. We were able to split a small order of fries between 2 people. The service was great. Seating is limited. I wouldn’t agree that they have the best burger in NYC but it was still good.“
“Wonderful experience all around. Service was warm, friendly, and attentive. It was very helpful when it came to suggesting pairings. The wine and cocktail list is great. The food was really excellent. I recommend the Amberjack and Hamachi collar. Dessert, we had the mezcal flan. 10s across the board.“
“I had a late Saturday brunch here -- first time visiting this establishment. Was bit hungry so ordered both my usual avocado toast but also a salad.I was very satisfied with the avocado toast. Probably my top 2 in Manhattan so far -- the toast was a little more on the crunchy side, which I like, and the avocado was nicely seasoned. Unique. Just the right combination of salty and herby and creamy, etc.For that I give 5 stars.The baby wedge salad was good, 4 stars on its own.“
“Its girls day out last night and one of the girls recommended this restaurant . From Tim(frontman), and Shaun(cook) to the food was super. So far Ive been to 7 Filipino restaurants in the city their food is the best, the serving are huge and cheaper. Kudos guys and Pls visit them you wont regret it 10/10 rating“
“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.“
“Visited bass on other tourist recommendations for a late breakfast. However it wasn't till I sat down that I was informed that the brunch offering was only available on the weekends.Having already been seated, it would have been rude to leave. I ordered the chicken salad dish which was delicious and well balanced. A tad over priced for what was served but in all an enjoyable meal.“
“My boyfriend made reservations to Del Porto to celebrate my 43rd Birthday. This was our 1st time visiting this restaurant. The restaurant is nicely decorated and very clean. The staff are all nice especially our server Fermin. He was very pleasant and always had a warm smile. Our food was very delicious from the appetizer, crispy eggplant ,to my main course Bronzino and to my Tahitian Creme Brulee desert. I loved this restaurant and my experience here. I would definitely recommend to all. Very nice and classy look.Parking: Valet parking is available.“
“Amazing! Loved the affogato. Super friendly service and the gelato was amazing. They make the gelato fresh on site at all of there locations (I think they mentioned there are 1 or 2 other locations across the city). They have 2 flavors that rotate but the rest are staples. Would definitely recommend this spot if you’re in the area looking for a sweet treat!“
“Before I even lived in the neighborhood Jajaja was easily one of my favorite restaurants in NYC. I have brought so many friends here because it is perfect from anywhere to a date night to a chill lunch/dinner to catch up with friends. Their cocktails are amazing especially their version of an espresso martini. All of the staff is so friendly and always make sure you're taken care of at all times. On top of everything and most importantly the food is AMAZING. Although I am not vegan anymore, I still can call this my favorite restaurant because they do everything on their menu so well and it's rare in my experience where vegan food is indistinguishable from non-plant based food and my favorite is the enchiladas mole. Highly recommend!“
“Straight up the juiciest, most tender chicken I've had in my life. I've never seen chicken so tender that it just falls off the bone like this one did.I got the Dark Meat combo with scallion pancake as my included side and the portion was decent and reasonably priced. This was way beyond my expectations and I'll definitely be back!“
“Omg Yelp revival?? Came here with a group of 5 after Spicy Moon rejected us and it was truly one of the best meals I've eaten this year in NYC :,) Service was so welcoming and the ambiance perfect as well (not too loud like the majority of other restaurants cough cough spicy moon cough cough and super pretty plates and bowls and nice jazz playing in the background) (jk we love spicy moon! they are rightfully busy) I know this review is off brand so will flesh this out with more words later ^^“
“Decided to go in as we saw someone sitting by the window, enjoying his sandwich so much. Best decision ever! We’re 100% returning when we’re back in NY! The service and welcoming was outstanding, thank you Eli for making this happen. Food, vibez, authenticity and Michelada 10/10 ?“
“I have been dying to visit and it did not disappoint! The owner was so kind and gracious to my friend and I and even allowed for a third friend to join us! It was all things pink, fabulous and fun! My heart shaped pasta was amazing, the service was intentional and welcoming, and we stayed until they closed. I cannot wait to go back!“
“My friend and I came here, it was a very nice place.I ordered the matcha with cheese foam.My friend ordered coconut milk with mango pudding，both of them were good，The refreshing taste is very suitable for summer. There are many choies, strongly recommend this place, we will definitely come back!“
“I ran into Steph at one of her pop-ups and fell in love with her macarons. Not only are they adorable, but they are DELICIOUS!! I reached out to her for a custom order for my bridal shower favors and they came out so perfect. Everyone was raving about them! Steph was very responsive via email and helped to create an order that fit within the budget I specified. I can't wait to order from her again!“
“Love the art outside of Japan Village. There’s so much to do here. There’s a grocery store on the 1st floor as well as multiple food stalls to grab a bite. Within Japan Village, they also have Diaso, BookOff and other stores! They also have mini claw machines!“
“Second time here, both for lunch, and both delicious!Had the meatballs over rice with salad and a mint limeade. I asked the server for drink recs and he let me taste all of his faves.Need to come back for the dukka fries because they look amaaaazing.They also still have outdoor seating - Happy to have!Vegetarian options: Lots of flavorful vegetarian options and sauces!“
“Great food in an atmosphere that’s refined, yet comfortable. Great staff and outstanding food. We are there twice during our NYC visit and were very pleased with everything. My fruit salad on Sunday morning was divine. Love the quiet street scene outside and the pretty children’s park nearby.“
“This is a very cute, quaint, comfy lil place. The food was amazing, the service was awesome, and the atmosphere was wonderful! I didn't take pics, but the presentation was really good as well.Vegetarian options: Everything! And it's soooo good!“
“Great food and drinks!! The first bite of our appetizer took me back to India. One of the best Indian places I have tried in NYC. Below are the drinks, appetizers and entrees that we tried and can’t recommend them enough.Drinks: Drop the Beet, Silk Road, Old Fashioned, The Golden ChariotAppetizers: Nilgiri chicken and kalonji paneerEntree: Rajwadi Paneer, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan and onion- chilli naanMy husband and I can’t wait to be back and try more items from their menu. Hoping we can try their brunch as well!“
“This is by far the best vegan Italian food we’ve ever had. Everything was fresh, healthy and delicious! No refined sugar, excellent gluten free pasta and crust, only healthy oils (no canola or soybean oils), and super fresh ingredients. Love their concept of truly healthy food. Sha, our waiter provided stellar, friendly service. He was able to easily answer all of our allergen/ingredient questions. He was the best! All of the chefs and floor staff were incredible too. Can’t recommend this place enough!“
“We stopped in before our NYU tour and were greeted & seated right away! The menu includes pasta, sandwiches, salads, and more! My daughter is a vegetarian and appreciated the vegetarian suggestions on the menu. The food came out quickly and was both fresh and delicious! We would come here again!“
“We had an excellent experience at Marcellino. The meatballs were fantastic. The mozzarella appetizer was one of our favorites. I especially loved the raspberry blossom drink. We had no problem making a reservation and the service was excellent.“
“Amazing Fresh Onigari (rice balls) & delicious teas! (Cold, Hot, Bubble, No-Bubble) Support a local Mom & Pop shop & get fresh tasty food & drinks — win win win!!! (The line outside moves, one customer/group inside at a time due to COVID, & everything is made fresh to order — your patience will be rewarded!)“
“This is the easiest 5 star review I've ever left. Came here for an anniversary and the staff made it feel incredibly special. The food was divine, environment was great, and service was beyond impeccable. Anything you could want for a celebration or just a nice night out. The tasting menu was wonderful and would absolutely recommend spending the additional $10 for the custard and caviar. If you're torn between desserts go with the cake and sorbet, both are incredible but it's the more complete and balanced dish imo. Honestly thanks again to the staff for making a special night even moreso.P.s. I would buy the scallion butter by the tub if I could.“
“We found you on our trip to Brooklyn in March and we are still dreaming about the amazing turmeric oatmeal breakfast - so great that we walked over the Brooklyn Bridge the following day for another portion! Great service, great staff, we will be back and we will be telling all our friends to come too!“
“I tried the Wintermelon Milk w/ Boba and the Peach Yakult w/ Lychee Jelly (as provided on the Staff Reccs Menu) and they were both amazing— Personally like the Wintermelon one more because I wanted something with milk but both were great.The staff were exceptional and overheard that my girlfiend and I had never really tried Wintermelon before, and they jumped to give us a sample of the tea. First off, amazing to see that there were no added sugars and that all the components of their drinks were individually perfected.We ended up ordering and got our drinks pretty quickly, but while we waited one of the staff members offered us a sample of their pudding topping. It was great to try and extremely kind of the staff to offer, especially because there was no incentive for them to do so as we had already ordered.You can tell that the staff really care about making a great business. They haven’t been open for too long, and I hope they receive lots of support so I can go back and try more of the drinks they have to offer.In terms of seating, they don’t offer any, but you can easily walk around the area and find some or walk while drinking.You can also get a stamp card to get a discount on your tenth return!TLDR: Amazing drinks, not too sweet, very refreshing. A great pick me up. Relatively not the cheapest but it’s some of the best you’re getting, especially in Manhattan. Definitely something to try. Staff are amazing and will let you try samples.Kid-friendliness: Amazing Environment“
“great thai restaurant with interesting interior decor. i've wanted to come here for a long while but it'd been difficult to snag a reservation. i was able to get a walk-in table when it just opened during the weekday. the crab fried rice was excellent and the fried chicken pad thai was surprisingly good (the fried chicken reminded me of taiwanese popcorn chicken). I also got the tapioca pudding for dessert which was nice. would definitely recommend the crab fried rice, I think it may be my fav one out of all the thai restaurants i've tried“
“Another solid place we found in China town. Owners are chill and efficient. The dumplings were delicious, fresh and filling. The scallion pancake with beef was simply perfection. The bread was fresh and chewy and tender. The beef was sliced thin and the carrots and cilantro were crispy and fresh. They also offer many different versions. Great new spot and super reasonable. Can literally eat lunch for 5$ and be full.See you soon King dumplings ?“
“Milk & Hops is definitely worth checking out, great selection of draft and craft beers along with some small bites. Two different sides of the bar: great atmosphere to watch sporting events on one end and the cocktail lounge on the other side.“
“This is a very unique coffee shop established in 2021The diverse combination of coffee is very special and has charming flavorIf you are a coffee loverCup after cup made with great care??If you haven’t had breakfast yetThere is also a cute little glass cabinet lined upCroissant or purple potato biscuit-style pastries, etc.Maybe you will also try to become a customer!“
“I had a lunch at Osteria Barocca and the food was delicious In addition to the spicy rigatoni, I also ordered the fried calamari. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, exactly how calamari should be. The accompanying dipping sauce added a delightful tanginess to the dish. Overall, my dining experience at Osteria Barocca was delightful. The combination of delicious and fresh pasta with the perfectly cooked fried calamari made for a truly memorable meal. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a taste of authentic Italian cuisine.“
“Yes it was open and yes it was good but $6 is too much for a small cappuccino. $5 maximum. Kind of a confusing dark space. Not a great hang. Nice competent barista. I hope 787 is paying a living wage because you can’t really tip at these prices…. Go here if you’re desperate, the hours are excellent but otherwise seek something more light and affordable.“
“This coffee shop is fantastic. The salmon toast and the Belgian avocado egg and cheese were incredibly flavorful, showcasing the freshness of their ingredients. The standout, however, was the coffee, particularly the original French Toast Latte, a must-try. Despite the chilly weather today, the indoor seating area was bustling, but luckily, the friendly and attentive staff made sure everyone felt welcome and well taken care of. Plus, the convenience of credit card acceptance adds to the overall positive experience.“

“One of the coolest dining experiences I've had in NYC. Walked in on a whim and had the place to myself for a while. Conversations with the staff were awesome. They take so much pride in their restaurant and also the local food scene in general. For the price you can't beat Fuku.“
“I have to say that I was so pleasantly surprised at how great the service was at this very popular wine bar. We went in on a Friday night before seeing a play across the street. The staff could not have been nicer, very helpful with our selections and very professional. The manager even remembered us after we stopped back in after the play. The wine selections are nicely curated and the food is delicious. Will definitely stop back again.“
“This address was recommended to me by a food critic. Everything we selected was delicious: cheese & charcuterie board, pasta dishes (we tried the carbonara burrata, truffle gnocchi and short rib fettuccine). Don’t leave without trying the tiramisu. Not to forget the perfectly balanced margarita. Very friendly staff. Will definitely come back.“
“Depending on your style and needs, this could be the right place for you. The aesthetic is super fun with seating like airplane seats, bright lights, and really loud music. The coffee is good with coffee-adjacent drinks with fun names. I have never seen the place empty or slow.There are a handful of pastries (croissant, pecan roll, ham and cheese croissant, everything bagel twist, etc.) to accompany the beverages. I was told the pastries come from Le French Dad Boulangerie, so if you like their baked goods, you’ll be pleased.If you’re prone to migraines or if you’re looking for a semi-quiet place to work or have a chat, this is not the place for you. If you want to show friends or visitors a unique place with good coffee, this does the job.“
“Came in for Morini Mondays when all pasta is $15.At $15, pasta was decent. Not super flavorful, but solid pasta noodle quality. The truffle pasta I had barely tasted of truffle at all. Not mad at it for $15 on a Monday night, but would be had I paid full price ($35), I would be disappointed.Service was friendly and quick. The atmosphere of the restaurant is cozy and laidback, like a good neighborhood spot.I’d consider coming again for Morini Mondays, but won’t return otherwise.“
“My family happened upon the best pizza of our lives!.We were waiting for a tour bus and wanted to grab a quick dinner. We saw the cute and vibrant colors of Unregular Pizza and decided to give it a try. WOW!WOW!WOW! It was the best pizza of my life! Staff was so friendly! We are from NC and looking forward to next NYC trip just for this pizza!“
“This is everything you want in a local brewery. Open, chill interior; beertenders who are friendly and know what they’re pouring; beer, cocktails, snacks, and nonalcoholic options aplenty. *AND* it’s queer, woman, and veteran owned.Also, the Fan Fan Tart Disco deserves to be in a museum. It’s that good.“
“I didn't eat, that's why I don't rate the food, but the rest... perfect... very pleasant atmosphere, excellent live music, the kind that doesn't bother you, the musicians perfectly accompanied the atmosphere of the bar... everyone was very friendly and concerned... excellent discovery!!If you come to New York, stop by here you won't be disappointed“
“The food was rich in flavor and expertly prepared, making each bite a pleasure. What truly elevated the experience was the impeccable service provided by Carlos, our attentive waiter. His friendly demeanor and attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our meal was perfect.“
“As someone who frequented both the old and new ownership of Devil Dogs, I can confidently say that the recent changes have been nothing short of remarkable. Under the new ownership, this walk-up hot dog joint has undergone a significant transformation, both in terms of service and menu offerings.The enthusiasm of the new owner is palpable, and their eagerness to please customers is evident from the moment you step up to the counter. The service is quick, efficient, and genuinely friendly. It's clear that customer satisfaction is a top priority for them.But the improvements don't stop there. The menu has been revamped, offering a wider variety of options that cater to different tastes and preferences. Whether you're in the mood for a classic chili cheese dog or something more adventurous like a pb&j -topped creation, Devil Dogs has you covered.One of the most refreshing aspects of Devil Dogs is its commitment to staying true to its roots while also embracing innovation. Despite the upgrades, it still retains the charm and simplicity of a classic hot dog joint, making it the perfect spot for a quick bite on the go.And let's not forget about their social media presence. With a good presence on TikTok, Devil Dogs is not only keeping up with the times but also engaging with a younger audience in a fun and interactive way.Overall, Devil Dogs is a shining example of how a beloved local establishment can evolve and thrive under new ownership. I'm thrilled to see that it's still around, and I can't wait to see what delicious creations they come up with next.“
