“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.“
“The food is delicious. You can get small order, which is really small or you can get the large which is basically getting a regular size container of Chinese food. You can have chicken, duck or pork. All the meats are cooked to perfection. Great taste not too salty, portion sizes are good and it comes with cabbage or some leafy vegetable. The interesting part is the line. Regardless the weather or time of day, expect to wait in a line. Depending on the time of day, it could be a 20 people in front of you line or 30 people. Bring cash. They only take cash and there's no ATM inside. The price is also good for what you're getting. Quality food at an affordable price. There's the neighborhood, the people you may meet while waiting in line and some good Chinese food. Wah Fung is #1.“
“Great food from a vegan business run by vegans. The "chicken legs" are amazing and my daughter said the mac n cheese was the best she has ever tasted. Super friendly and enthusiastic staff. Whilst primarily a take-out there is a small seating area for those wanting to eat in. Highly recommended.“
“Man what an experience. I never felt pain all over my face until I had the Rouge Big Rowdy Sandwich. If you can handle spice get medium because Rouge genuinely made it impossible to enjoy the Sandwich. After a long break I tried my friend’s sandwich, and it was delicious. Mango lassi was sweet and cold and perfect for when my face was burning.8.5/10“
“Shingane is a true hidden gem. If it wasn’t for a recommendation, we wouldn’t have thought to stop by for their delicious homemade kimbap/gimbap and unique “buns”.Mr. Shin and his wife were so hospitable, especially for a small snack shop. They complimented us on our chopstick work (because they often tell people to eat the kimbap with one bite), asked where we were from, and told us their story of coming to New York and creating special presses for their Statue of Liberty buns. The kimbap was special, for me it’s the fact that they come handmade and don’t sit premade in a case in the front. Because of that, the rice is warm, the sesame oil is fragrant, and the vegetables are soft and fresh. I’ll definitely recommend this place to friends passing through.“
“I went here last week with the family member as we were feeling for something different and decided to look up what food is in the area. of course there’s a lot of cultural places in the area however, this place came up with excellent reviews, and I must say it was worth every bite.. the freshness of the food and the service from the guy at the counter Mack. will definitely be returning. the sauce was phenomenal, the burger meat, to the crunchy chicken loaded fries.“
“My wife and I visited Handcraft Burgers and Brews for my birthday this past weekend. As soon as my wife opened the menu she knew that I was going to have to try the burger of the month which was a peanut butter and grape jelly topped hamburger with jalapenos, bacon and cheese. Admittedly I have never had peanut butter and jelly on a burger before but I figured I would try something new and see what all of the hype was about. Turns out, I loved it! Every bite was so flavorful and completely made my birthday lunch a worthwhile venture! We also tried the tater tots, because who doesn't love a good tater tot. We could have chosen from multiple dipping sauces but we decided to go with the garlic aioli and I am glad we did. I dipped each of my tater tots in the sauce and there was plenty for both of us to share. We were helped by Vanessa at the restaurant and she was very accommodating when I was having trouble using a coupon that I had for my birthday. All in all this was a wonderful choice for my birthday lunch and when we are in the area again I would definitely stop by and perhaps try the latest burger of the month along with some tater tots and garlic aioli dipping sauce of course!“

“GERMAN DONER KEBAB - AN ENLIGHTENMENT If you're from Berlin, it feels like there's a kebab store on every other corner. So I can recognize and judge a kebab when I see it. Even just leaving Berlin and Brandenburg, the kebab experience changes within Germany. The further you get away from Berlin, the worse the kebabs get. Some time ago in New York, I discovered one or two places trying to make a kebab. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to find a proper kebab in New York, despite the name kebab. What was being sold was called a kebab, but had very little to do with a kebab and tasted even less like a kebab. All the more enlightenment then... the recommendation of a friend living in Brooklyn. "German Doner Kebab" in Brooklyn. And then the first kebab there since 2018 here in New York. I can't even describe how happy I was. It looked like a kebab, it tasted like a kebab and came pretty close to a kebab from Berlin. Really well made. Incl. tax 12.51 dollars is a bit steep, but still good value for New York. The portion was good and filling. Everything is really fresh and well seasoned. The bread was just as it should be, thin and crispy. This was pretty much the best kebab I've had in a very, very long time (with the exception of one visit to Berlin). I will definitely go back there again. GERMAN DONER KEBAB - EINE ERLEUCHTUNG Wenn man aus Berlin kommt, hat man gefühlt an jeder zweiten Ecke einen Dönerladen. Ich kann also einen Döner erkennen und beurteilen, wenn ich ihn sehe. Allein schon Berlin und Brandenburg verlassend wird das mit dem Döner innerhalb von Deutschland anders. Je weiter man sich von Berlin entfernt, desto schlechter werden die Döner. In New York entdeckte ich schon vor einiger Zeit den einen oder anderen Anbieter mit dem Versuch, einen Döner zu machen. Bisher konnte ich leider in New York trotz Bezeichnung Döner keinen ordentlichen Döner entdecken. Das was da verkauft wurde, heißt zwar Döner, hatte mit Döner aber recht wenig zu tun und schmeckte noch viel weniger nach einem Döner. Um so mehr dann die Erleuchtung... die Empfehlung eines Freundes in Brooklyn lebend. "German Doner Kebab" in Brooklyn. Und dort dann der erste Döner seit 2018 hier in New York. Ich kann gar nicht beschreiben, wie sehr ich mich gefreut hatte. Es sah aus wie ein Döner, es schmeckte wie ein Döner und kam schon recht nah an einen Döner aus Berlin heran. Richtig gut gemacht. Incl. Tax 12,51 Dollar ist zwar sportlich, aber für New York wiederum preiswert. Die Portion ordentlich und sättigend. Wirklich alles frisch und gut gewürzt. Das Brot genau so wie es sein muss, dünn und knusprig. Also das war seit sehr sehr langer Zeit so ziemlich der beste Döner (mit Ausnahme einem Besuch in Berlin), den ich seit langer Zeit gegessen habe. Dahin kehre ich auf alle Fälle wieder zurück. -------------------------------------------------“
“This spot reminds me of the good ol' days when ice cream was still creamy and the cone took a good 15 minutes to finish! We also got an egg cream which the lady was so excited to make. We'd been craving one all day and it hit the spot. This is a must visit, very nostalgic and delicious. I loved the old fashioned style of the place as well.“
“Food is really good but I waited nearly 20 minutes for my food. The burgers are great. Staff is friendly. They’re not wrong when they say you should get a double. I had two singles. The regular mash is good and the spicy mash is unique. The honey definitely makes it taste different than other burgers. Will definitely be back to try other parts of the menu.Parking: Parking is not too bad. Located right at the end of a busy Main Street. Not all of the meters work though“
“One of favorite local go-to's, since there's one close by my job in Manhattan and now one near my home in Brooklyn. It's hard to decide what's better, the wonderful Chicken pops or the fantastic Chicken sandwiches and they also have some of the most unbelievably perfect fries in NY! Always delicious and thankfully NEVER overly salty.“
“The guys here at great. Honestly fin, Philly and Eric are so cool and their energy really makes you feel like getting hype during the day. Food is awesome too. Word on the street is that the burger is the best on the block. The sauces are hit or miss depending on what you get. I recommend the queso because it's like old school movie nacho cheese, the Chipotle or the house ranch. I always grab the pop chicken cuz it fills me up on a small or medium if I'm particularly hungry. The mozzarella sticks are fire too“
“Best thing to happen to this food strip in AGES!Fresh ingredients and tasty recipes. The price is appropriate for the type of food you're getting, but even more so-the portion sizes and flavor are top notch. We've already stoped in multiple times so here are some of our take aways :-dolmades: honestly, the best l've ever had. And I try them EVERYWHERE. Not cheaply portions either - solid roll and you get 5 in an order. WORTH IT.-pita chips: clearly homemade and SO delicious. They're softer than the ones people are used to getting, but firm enough to really hold some hummusBowl/Wrap ingredients :BASES-med couscous: light and fluffy, not porridge-esque-warm garbanzo beans: Held their integrity during cooking so you're greeted with big pillows of seasoned goodness-farmers mix: more than just Romaine-reminiscent of a garden mix (arugula, kale, etc)SPREADS-zesty Feta: no words can do this justice. Chunky and full of love-roasted eggplant hummus: brought an almost Smokey flavor as opposed to regular hummus-Kalamata olive hummus: recommended by the young man making my dish and WOW so glad he did. I'm not a huuuuuuge olive fan and this was just a nice essence of kalamatas. I was afraid it would be too potent and take over the dish. QUITE THE OPPOSITE! Will never look back from other options!-tzatzki: mild flavor and perfect accompaniment to anything it touchesPROTEINFirst off, they offer the most GENEROUS protein portions.You 'get 2' so they let you do a full scoop of one and a full scoop of the other. Falafel is about 4 balls per serving so you can mix and match with another protein-Moroccan steak : nice sized slices/bits of spiced meat-lemon chicken: you can taste the citrus without it being overpowering. Also in nice sized pieces-chicken shawarma: insta classic ! The meat is almost buttery it's cooked so well-falafel: my personal favorite. You can taste how fresh they are ! No dryness here! Great Big Crunch surrounding a little pillow of happiness. And if you choose this as your protein, be prepared to be AMAZED at how much you get!TOPPINGSUnlike other stores of this kind, the toppings bar is unlimited!!! And that doesn't speak to the quality of the ingredients. Again, everything is so fresh and taken care of properly.Most of this part is self explanatory so I'll just touch on the parts we found interesting:-chickpea croutons: not nearly as hard as expected to be so that was a plus. The shell has a crisp but you won't worry about breaking a tooth-dolmades : if you're afraid to commit to a full order, here's your chance to try it ! You won't be disappointed-tabbouleh : such a lovely addition to the meal you just created. Adds flavor with the mint/parsley/onion heavenly goodness-cabbage: tried both the white and red at different times and both were tasty. Felt that the white took in more of the flavor around the dish while the red just added crunchDRESSINGS-any tahini option is the right answer. If you're not familiar with the taste of tahini to begin with (earthy if you will), then I would recommend a flavored one-roasted red pepper tahini: a gift from above ! There is a slight sweet yet smokey flavor that wraps everything together-garlic jalapeño tahini: not as spicy as you'd imagine so it just gives a nice lil zest to your dish-lemon & olive oil : depending on what you put in your order, this will help with overall texture. If you opted out of wet stuff (tomatoes, lettuce, etc) this is your choice !Lastly,The Earth Burger: like a big ole falafel and WOW did not disappoint. Maintained the integrity of the falafel (crispy outside, soft inside) while giving you the satisfying big bite you're looking for. Only complaint is since it is such a hearty size, maybe a size of tahini or tatziki should accompany it. But if you ask, they’ll give you a side !!Basically, this is a great asset to the area.Kind staff, smiling faces, clean sitting area and portion sizes that will have you stuffed all day!Their in house lemonade is the BEST !“
“There's so many amazing things to say about this place right off the bat! The first thing I'm going to say is the atmosphere you walk in and you feel the family and friendly love. The second thing you see is the creativity in the food and the smell just coming from the kitchen. I got to say the food is amazing. The customer service is terrific. The creativity in the food. The design setup in the building I mean all around five star!“
“Happy with the Hackensack branch, before I had to drive 20 minutes now I have it close to home. The food is delicious and what I love most are their juices and smoothies..!! If you are on a diet, it has green juices and healthy smoothies. If not, I recommend my favorite, which is sapote or Mamey..!! The girls are nice, good service, super clean. Recommended 100%Dietary restrictions: Well I see that it has green juices, although I don't like them...!! But those who want healthy smoothies this is the place.Parking: Well, it has about 14 parking spaces, I don't think I counted them correctly, but the good thing is that I always find parking.Kid-friendliness: The portions are perfect for the little ones in the house, the empanadas and the yucca buns I know they love them.“
“I had the pleasure of stopping in here yesterday for lunch. I have to say it was a good choice to go check out. The chicken was crispy and super flavorful. I got the sweet chili chick'n pop combo. The garlic Aioli i got extra for dipping my friends into. Absolutely loved this spot, and I hope to get to visit it again in the future.“
“Celebrated my son's 35th birthday here. The owner was wonderful, very friendly and made the bday celebration more special. We enjoyed the seafood boils, calamari, hush puppies, and fish and chips. Special sauce was delicious and if you like spicy don't worry that extra spicy is too hot. Highly recommend!“
“The best poutine in NYC! Very good sauce collection with a lot of variety! Love the poutine it was perfectly cooked and the gravy was so rich and delicious! Love the wooden tables with cup holders! Very cool place you feel like you’re in another country.“
“Had the beef kabab sandwich. Amazing! We immediately had to buy more. The diesel fries were good but a little too spicy: went well with the aoli and maple syrup dips which decreased the heat. Only 3 small stools inside so it is really a take out joint. Would definitely go back.“
“In my eyes shake shack can do no wrong, but the service here was lovely. You don’t expect anyone to care once you get your food at a take out//tray place like this but Patrick not only brought our food out but checked on us & cleared our table as we were heading out. Thanks shake shack.“
“First time visiting this restaurant and it was great! The owner is a very pleasant, hospitable and a kind guy. Went above and beyond to cater to our needs. Food was very good and the owner, as mentioned, was very accommodating.W restaurant; would go again.“
“I recently tried the mango habanero chicken pop. Let me tell you, it was absolutely delicious! Aside from the amazing food, I also had a great experience with the cashier, Delia. She greeted me with a warm smile and was incredibly friendly throughout the transaction. Delia was efficient and professional, making sure my order was accurate and providing excellent customer service. Overall, I highly recommend trying the mango habanero chicken pop and be sure to say hi to Delia when you're there!“
“Raising Cane’s a very touristy, but yet still has great chicken fingers, fries, and a fun atmosphere. I don’t normally go to Times Square restaurants, but since I live in the South, it was hard to resist not stopping in! You’ll enjoy it especially at night!“
“Is it a hole-in-the-wall? yes. do the kitchen staff speak English? doubtful Is it the best burger I have eaten in years? Abso-f*****g-lutely!! the patty is perfectly seasoned, the bun is the exactly balance of firm and soft. the toppings are generous without being overwhelming. the fries are crisp without being overcooked. The Buffalo wings are amazing. if I had any issues it's that the soda is by the can, I'd prefer a bottle or fountain. 12 oz just isn't enough. and best of all, for NYC it is more than reasonably priced.“
“The place was super busy, but the service was fast and inefficient. The staff was awesome. The manager really cares about his or her employees. The food was very good. I would definitely eat there again.Kid-friendliness: You can tell everyone behind the counter knew what they were doing. You can tell they loved what they were doing.“
“Small space with big flavor! Ironically enough it is next door to a chipotle and has the same selection process, but with more unique and tasty food options in my opinion. I'd recommend the sweet mango chutney, mango lassi, falafel, naan (which came fresh out of the oven) and honestly anything else. The service is straightforward and the wait wasn't long while I was there! Overall !“
“The burek is fantastic! Piping hot fresh. Your options are cheese, spinach, potatoes, apple and meat. Great price too! Other awesome options too on the menu. The service is fast and friendly. Tasty coffee. Very nice clean establishment. My dad has been here like 6x already. We're coming back actually in a few days.“
“Flavors were amazing. Loved the Tangy Sauce that gave it a bit of a hit. I love japchae, but it is so much prep chopping everything. lol. The flavors were spot on and it was super quick. I left feeling super satisfied. My daughter and I shared it, as the portion was large enough for 2!“
“Great experience! Came here to try their items and they were generously giving out a tray with variety of traditional Korean food like bulgogi, Kim chi, spicy pork with rice to try for free with small little sweet rice cakes. It was so delicious with generous portions, the staff were very friendly and made sure everyone felt welcomed & taken care of!“
“I was casually walking down rainbow road when Mario, Donkey Kong and Shy guy grabbed me and brought me to this Subway. A guy whose name I think was maneater told me I had to eat 100 cookies or else Donkey Kong would turn me into a banana. I said ok and began this grueling challenge. I started chowing down on the cookies and when I reached the halfway point Machoman told me that the rest of the cookies would be footlong cookies, I said "radical" and continued. I was enjoying the last two cookies when all of a sudden Rick Grimes and superman walked in and blew up Donkey Kong, Mario and Shy guy and told me the walkers were coming and I had to leave. I said goodbye to Magic Mixing Machine and he said that wherever I go I could just reach into my pocket and pull out a free footlong cookie.10/10 would recommend, if you survive the walkers roaming around.“
“I work in CT but placed an order on the phone with them (turned out to be DoorDash). When I called to confirm the lunch order, they didn't have any record of it. But Alexis (Asst GM) assured me that my executive and his team would get their lunch today. She researched my order and had me send all the details I could provide, took my phone number, and called me back several times to ensure we were all set. This was not a huge catering order, but she treated me with the same courtesy as if it were. I want to thank her for all of her assistance. I'm sure the team will enjoy their lunch!!!“
“We ordered beef and chicken shawarma rice bowls. The meat was flavorful and delicious. My only complaint was that there is some sort of very spicy sauce on the bowl that was completely unexpected and overpowered the other flavors. For someone who doesn’t like spice, it made the dish almost inedible.“
“On my way to work I saw a crowd of people standing around this little joint. Saw an egg & cheese sandwich on the menu. Didn’t hesitate at the prices! It was ready in like 3 minutes and it was delicious. Not late for my meeting. Friendly staff to top it off. I’ll be stopping here regularly on my office days, thank you guys!“
“I worked with Ma’s Tea House for a corporate event. Initially we wanted them to come on site at our NYC office location at make fresh bubble tea as people came into the office, which they do offer, but the building had a lot of specific requests which made it difficult to coordinate. We ended up deciding to switch to a delivery of 100 bubble teas in the morning for my event that same afternoon. From start to finish, they were very easy to work with and responsive. I stopped by the shop and Justin worked with me to decide on what would be best for delivery and what flavors would be good options. I even requested they add my company’s stickers to the cups along with their own and they did. Delivery was a little tough (but that was due to the location of the office in midtown, police officers not allowing vehicles to stop, etc.) but we eventually found each other for delivery and they helped bring the bubble teas into the building within the delivery time discussed.As for the bubble teas during the event, we decided on 50 white peach rose with strawberry popping boba and 50 passion fruit with mango popping boba. They were a HUGE hit and mostly gone within the hour from the start of the event which we didn’t expect. We were anticipating some leftovers by the end of the day, but in the end, there were none.Pricing was reasonable and comparable to other quotes that we received. Brian was great to work with. We would look to work with them again in the future!“
“I love this place the food is so good and they have amazing and kind staff, best food place in all of new jersey!!Vegetarian options: Large vegetarian options that are soooooo goodDietary restrictions: Has great halal food and vegetarian food i dream about this food sometimesParking: Very good and easy parkingKid-friendliness: I always get food from here with my 2 kids“
“Burgers and Chinese food at one place, never would have thought! Burgers were good, big and juicy, and relatively inexpensive. The "caramelized onions" were those fried onions you get from a can and not really caramelized onions. But for 10 bucks with fries and a can of soda, im ok with it.“
“I've been coming here for many yrs, I'm a semi regular and it's always a pleasure coming in. From Felicia being amazing and always having a positive attitude to my service and food always being great, this is def the best Subway I've been to, especially after the renovations. The woman with the braided bun was the star of the show today for making an early release of the footlong sidekicks to me (thanks to management too) I got the churro and cookie one and it's so good, def recommend trying.“
“I bumped into this shop shortly after they opened not too long ago. I was extremely pleased with my experience. Excellent juicy lamb and chicken gyro sandwiches, salads, and rice platter! All halal, too.They also serve other dishes. Their menu is not extensive, but I prefer this, since everything is made freshly and their turnover is really fast. The salads are very fresh, everything is juicy and their portions are very generous. The gyro sandwiches and platters include a can of soda, so everything is in my opinion very competitively priced.The people in the store are very kind and attentive, and I have become a frequent visitor who is greeted with a smile. When showing the place to a visiting family, who praised the platter the “best gyro” they ever had, the owner gave one of the kids an extra platter to enjoy later. I think this speaks for itself.Kid-friendliness: High chairs, very casual, very kid friendly operators.“
“Yes. This is it. The paragon of cheap street food. It's $10, it's a bowl of rice and meat, and some toppings. Exactly what we need more of: simple food, heavy on cheap carbs for when you just need a quick, savory, SATISFYING bite. My stomach is growling.It's not blazing fast, maybe 10 minutes in and out? But that's acceptable to me.I do wish the bowls were bigger so I could have more rice because I'm a sucker for rice, I'm not even asking for more meat. Maybe I'll just ask for more rice next time.Dear Owner, please, I want more rice in the bowls if you can do that.“
“This honestly was some great food. I’m not gonna lie I be iffy about New Jersey food being from NYC but tbh this was bussin. If you know you know. I’m definitely coming back with my friends, because this is where it’s at! Loved itttt.“
“This is in the list of top restaurants I've ever been to. Phenomenal food & great, friendly, helpful service. The duck pancakes were amazing. The beef in spicy gravy was perfect. The soup dumplings were the best we've ever had. We don't usually order orange chicken but for being just orange chicken it was fantastic. Beautiful, cozy atmosphere as well.“
“Great food and knowledgable / friendly staff who took time to explain the menu to me and give recommendations. Good choice for take-out or for a lower-cost option to get dinner with friends before going out. Highly recommend the okonomiyaki!“
“My first time trying this new place and it was amazing!! the service was so great and nice. I got the “son of a bun” and it was soooo delicious. I also got the nutella churros and they were super good!! AND i got the onion rings and they were perfectly crispy. Highly recommend.“
“Went to the opening on Astor place - it was booming in there! First time trying Caines, was pleasantly surprised as the service and speed. Food was okay, fries pretty salty - we advised them of the fries and they brought us new ones, very nice. Music was on! Just a tad bit loud, but hey, it was lunch time.“
“this place is an awesome burger time capsule. The burgers are made to order and fantastic Smashburger. Now this place is CASH ONLY and don’t be afraid to order when you want more, the cook has a great personality lol . If in the area check it out“
“Food:Amazing, freshly made nice cooking from the cook. They always make sure you get your money's worth too.Service:Very good, the people are very nice, friendly and value their customersAtmosphere:Clean place, very modern, and some cute paintings on walls, the LED is nice and the place is neat and chillPersonal:Very nice local fast food. The cooking style reminds me of McDonald's. The store in my opinion could be better than McDonald's!Amazing!?????“
“Everything was great at The Hot Grill. Burgers all the way is Chill, Cheese, diced onions, and mustard. The fries with gravy and cheese are similar to a Canadian Poutine. They also call it Disco Fries. Counter service and you take it to your own table. No wait staff. Convenient location. Fast paced. I hope to return back if we're in that area again on travel.“
“Loved the food! Metin provide such great service, from the free food to customizing the order exactly for over 40 people to all the good suggestions. Overall an amazing order. Highly recommend ordering from here for a fantastic catering meal.“
“When my 5 yr old wants hot dogs randomly i thought of hanks franks from passing by so many times. Why not try it? You get a mom and pop feel. We ordered 2 dogs 1 with ketchup and 1 with cheese and cheesy fries. I have a gluten sensitivity so I took a small bite of the dog and it's great even my lil Eva ate all her fries and the rest of the hot dog. I would definitely go back!“
“My mom and I have drove past this place for years and kept saying that one day we'll stop by and check it out. We just went yesterday and honestly did not expect the food to be as good as we anticipated. The owners were insanely nice, made the food from scratch, and the entire atmosphere of the place was welcoming. Highly recommend everyone to come here on the regular!“
