“I have loved this place since it first opened in the early 2000s, I believe it's a staple in the community now. Affordable pizza that always has that free pie. I recently visited here again since I no longer live in the area and you know how many businesses have changed after COVID? This remains the same as I remember. Go here you won't be dissatisfied.”
“I used to spend my time on campus, especially the Benjamin S. Rosenthal Library and Klapper Hall (art building). The campus hasn't changed much. I recently visited the campus. It is still as peaceful as before and it is still clean on the quad. It is about 30 minutes from Main Street, Flushing. The commute is a bit difficult in my opinion because of the construction on Main Street, but there are a couple of buses that go to the campus Q17, Q25, and Q34, to the main entrance. It is nice walk around the campus.”
“It was a great show. I can’t imagine this as a great food but every thing is better with unlimited saki and amazing companies.My wife and I had a great time. It wasn’t hard to find just under staircase and you felt transported out of New York.The food is amazing. They put up a great show and quality is reasonable. I enjoy the food but you can really drunk with the saki.Amazing restaurant and definitely a visit if you are in town. Experience depends on the host.”
“Was here for a friends baby shower and it was lovely. They went above and beyond to make the occasion special. The event room is in the basement so no natural light. Looking forward to going again and dining upstairs.”
“Great take on Lu rou fan (minced pork and rice), excellent scallion pancakes and awesome dessert (Tian miantuan) that was like a sandwich of sweet fried dough, golden sesame ice cream and condensed milk (plus cilantro and butter dried peanuts)! Great beverages as well such as the slightly sweetened Jasmine iced tea and Sanzo (lychee & calamansi) sparkling water products!”
“The atmosphere far outclasses the food but with the bar set so high, the food had a long way to go to match the setting.Enjoyed our meal all the same but not moved by the pork belly. The fluke appetizer was, however, top tier.”
“I hated Lima beans, until I ate them at Contento. In fact, everything I ate there was perfection. My husband and I sat at the bar, which is exactly where I’d sit again. It’s cozy, comfortable and you can see some of the kitchen action as well as chat with fellow diners. The chef came out and helped us pick out a great bottle of wine. I use a wheelchair, which is what first attracted me to going to Contento. I appreciate feeling included. But I have recommended the place to friends and the next time I’m in New York I look forward to going back.”
“I’ve been coming to Rolo’s since they first opened and they really never disappoint. The food just gets better and better. Everything is amazing but my hands down favorite is the shrimp. I’d say it’s easily some of if not the best shrimp I’ve ever had in my life. The whole menu just compliments itself from the Calabrian chili butter to the wagyu steak. Also, Sitting in the back of the restaurant is such a cool experience because you get to watch the chefs work their magic on that wood fire grill. This is definitely one of the best restaurants in NYC and in my top 5.”
“Hidden Pearl is a true Brooklyn oasis. With tropical Japanese vibes, records on the turntable, and a top-notch staff, there's not a better date spot in Greenpoint—especially when the sun is still streaming in through the skylight! The cocktails are vibrant and refreshing, packing a flavorful punch I have been craving this summer. Highly recommend!”
“In all food is perfect! Amazing food, everything tastes good. I’ve been there 10+ times all very good experiences, only literally only one time the waitress ( didn’t look familiar to me) was a bit rude, other than that the food and deco and hospitality are all amazing! ??”
“Came back a second time and can officially say Tong Brooklyn in Bushwick is the best Thai food I know of in NYC, in the same class as LA and Thailand. And one of my favorite restaurants periodt. Everything has been top tier and filled with delight and surprise.”
“I tried out Bua on the Upper East Side, and I'm so glad I went because everything for me was phenomenal. The food and drinks were both excellent, service was quick, and the atmosphere was very welcoming and inviting. They have a spacious outdoor area which is nice, as you get some good outdoor views. Plus, the staff was friendly and accommodating with all customer needs and food allergies/dietary restrictions. I personally do not have any thankfully, but they asked when I ordered and thought that was very courteous. I would definitely go back and recommend to anyone else.”
“What an incredible meal! Get the quail egg special from the secret menu. The only thing better than the food was the chef’s incredible energy, positivity, and ability to connect with the customers.”
“Thanks for the service, delicious food!The young girl with red hair is very nice and pretty... I will definitely return for other good tacos and for her quality of service.”
“Hadn't been here since the year it opened. So good to be back. STILL a superior cocktail and lite bite experience, and THE top shelf venue in Harlem.If you want a truly lavish and decadent experience, this is the destination.”
“Leo, our server, was very attentive and even took a picture of our table for us with his polaroid camera and framed it.Dietary restrictions: have a chart explaining allergens in sauces”
“This place was amazing. I found out about it through the KoreanEnglishman and came up from Virginia to try it. The food was stunning and the staff was very kind. One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever enjoyed.”
“A fantastic Mexican/seafood fusion spot!We came here for my husband’s birthday and everything we ordered was divine. We started off with the salsas (you’re going to want to love spicy food if you order this) and got 2 aguachiles (both superb), shrimp tacos (I could have eaten 5 of these), and the whole fish (perfectly cooked, so flavorful and tender).Will definitely be returning soon!Vegetarian options: It’s a heavily seafood based menu so not sure I would recommend for strict vegetarians”
“I think this place is great. Especially for a date night too. The Temaki they serve is great for a 2 bite situation, making it really easy to share between 2… if that’s your thing.To be honest, coming here and getting the classic & signature is just as $ as getting delivery sushi, maybe a bit more expensive but it’s worth it. High quality ingredients & thought out flavors.Personal favorite temaki is the XO scallop.The whole entire restaurant is gluten free by the way, so that might win a lot of people over.The interior & vibe is definitely for a certain demographic and will become aged out within maybe a year or two. The interior is on the same note of that Tend instagram dentist place, and that’s not a compliment. The music they play reminds me of what they would play at like a retail store.Dietary restrictions: The entire restaurant is gluten free & can help gluten intolerance with their meal.”
“If you happen to be around Brooklyn and have about an half hour or an hour to spend, I would definitely recommend this place.It's close to the subway.This is a very eye opening place to visit if you are interested in dashi in general. The store has variety of dashi for you to try (also vegan options) and also allows you to create your own, which is super fun and educational.They have a lot of imported japanese products + meal, which could be a bit pricy; however, consider you dont have to fly to Japan to get them, they are acceptable and worth try at least once.The atmosphere is super nice. Nice lighting/furnitures and everything. The staffs were also super informative and could help you in a lot in making decisions toward unending dashi ingredients.”
“Omakase was aite. Took very long for each course to come out. Approximate time was 2 hours for the entire 12 omakase set. It was 7 pieces of sushi, 1 sorta handroll, 3 appetizers and one dessert.”
“I will rate this place somewhere between three and four. The restaurant is beautiful, and the staff were courteous and friendly, well deserved 5-star rating. The food is a hit and miss. You need to know what to order in this place, otherwise, the dining experience could be unpleasant to your palates. The ribs in the cage looked fun but not impressive while eating them. The bathrooms were super unpleasant. It is a publicly shared bathroom and is poorly managed.Vegetarian options: There were not a lot of vegetable dishes here, but decent selections. Need to specify no meat for special dietary requirementsParking: The parking lot is expensive in the basement, and SUPER DIRTY AND SMELLY in the stairwells.”
“When you walk into the place, you can smell the aroma and you’ll immediately realize why this place is rated so highly. We got the goat dum biriyani, and it might be the best biriyani we’ve ever had, as it was truly authentic (they cut it open in front of you) and was jam-packed with flavor. A lot of biriyanis go light on the rice flavors; this one definitely didn’t - we felt ourselves devouring the biriyani INCREDIBLY fast. Our waiter kept checking in on us, and we had fast, attentive, and genuinely friendly service. We also got the chicken vindaloo, and it was very good and spicy, which we enjoyed. We were there near closing, and we didn’t feel rushed at all, and it was heartwarming to see the chefs and staff all sit and eat together after the kitchen had closed, joking and having fun. 10/10 would recommend - this is a hole in the wall joint worth repeat visits - you can feel a sense of kinship the second you enter!”
“i took away one star for the salad - please i am begging you, reevaluate the salad. otherwise a perfect meal. great wine, crazy olive martini.Vegetarian options: good bread, salad, interesting mushroom dishes, pasta etc”
“Absolutely delicious. We had the “Casa ” and the “Carcio” sandwiches, both outstandingly delicious with each component even better than the next. Bought a ball of burrata too, best I have ever had. The staff was fun, accommodating and fast. The ambiance of the the store is true and pure. A must try experience all the way around. A+++ Yum & fun!”
“Bunna Cafe has some great Ethiopian food and is exclusively a vegetarian place on top of that (I don't know about most people but I personally love my meat). However, despite not serving meat, Bunna Cafe still delivers flavor at great prices and portion sizes. My favorites were the spicy lentil and mushroom one but I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. The hospitality was exceptional as well. No complaints here!”
“Welcome to Birria island. Delicious well seasoned marinated beef Birria. I had the grilled cheese and dumpling. It was E V E R Y T H I N G!! What a immaculate taste. Service was amazing. Ashley took her time while assisting me and Evenin recommended her favorite dish. She was super sweet. Overall I'm extremely satisfied that I gave this franchise a try. It was very clean, spacious and organized. Thank you to the amazing chefs and wonderful staff.”
“The noodles are great!Update : This time we tried out the sushi, Sashimi, and rolls. They were great! And the desserts were awesome. We tried 3 different match desserts... Cheesecake, tiramisu, and ice cream. Amazing! ?”
“What a great place. I went here spontaneously for my birthday because a friend suggested it. It was totally worth it.We started with the Antipasto plate, then went to the vegan pasta bollente pizza, what I didn't realize at the time came with a pretty spice chilli, and finish with a bread pudding slice.We also had a couple of cocktails, which made the bill a little pricey, but if you didn't have drinks, it would be pretty affordable.The Antipasto plate was a great addition to the meal.The meats were scrumptious and the accoutrements added exactly what you would want for a antipasto plate. $24The Patata bellente was really good but if you don't like spicy food, steer clear of this one. I thought the potatoes would help subside the spice, but it was still very spicy. If you like spice this is the one for you. $18I can't remember what the bread pudding cost or even seeing it on the menu, but it was outstanding!!! Not to sweet, not too bready, it was just a bit of joy with every bite.Id definitely come back, and not just for a special occasion.”
“Had a great time last night at a birthday, food was great and service was superb ?. staff was very accomodating and respectful. Owners are very welcoming. Also had the pleasure of being entertained by Handa Handa !”
