Soothr

Soothr 204 E 13th St, New York Thai • $$
204 E 13th St, New York

“My friend and I had such a delightful time for dinner tonight at Soothr! We started with piping hot Hoi Johr, plump little crab and pork dumplings wrapped in crispy soy skin.Absolute standout dishes were the Roasted Eggplant Salad (zippy flavors, comforting, and amazing with the fried egg and crispy shallots on top) and Koong Karee (luscious shrimp curry with white rice). You need to order those!!!We also ordered the Duck Noodles after hearing the hype, and they were tasty. Unfortunately, it was a tough act to follow after the Koong Karee. The duck was super tender and juicy but we ended up twirling the remaining noodles in the karee sauce. It was that good, we didn’t want to waste a drop.Ended with the mango sundae, which was perfectly refreshing and satisfying.Our waiter PJ was amazing — you’re in good hands if you ask him advice on ordering. He provided excellent service and always kept our water glasses full. Thank you, PJ! We will be back again soon!”

The view and service are great, but it's noisy as there isn't much to absorb the sound. We ordered focaccia, roasted peppers and pasta. Everything is great and super fresh.”

“I live 2 blocks from Ivan Ramen and it is my go-to for ramen! I'm usually there when the wonderful Jhovana, a manager at Ivan Ramen, is there. She always know that I'm there while I'm doing my laundry at a nearby laundromat haha! Every time she recommends a (new) dish to me, it never fails to be out of this world delicious and they end up being my faves! My usual order is the shio ramen, but I also love the paitan, the mazemen, crispy eggplant. I LIVE for the wagyu pastrami buns and of course if I have room, I need the yuzu cheesecake. If I could go to Ivan Ramen everyday, I would! Jhovana and the whole staff are just glorious! Highly, HIGHLY recommend!!”

Family Meal at Blue Hill 75 Washington Pl, New York American • $$$$
75 Washington Pl, New York

“*apologies in advance for the poor quality photos - the lighting wasn't conducive to capturing how brilliant and beautiful these dishes were. I was a bit hesitant going in as there were a few mixed reviews, and of course paying $145 pp, you want to be blown away. I had recently watched the Chef's Table episode on Dan Barber and was intrigued on the vegetable focus, farm to table tasting menu at Family Meal. Also, with the daily menu change you simply do not know what you'll be served. 2 hours later - I was blown away and amazed with the entire meal. The veggies served were unlike any veggies I have tasted before. The entire meal from start to finish was enjoyable. In addition, I was surprised how much fish and meat was served (for those worried about the lack of protein). Highly highly recommend this place. Well deserved Michelin Star, and of course the service matches that distinction. Honestly surprised this place isn't as hyped as it is.”

I have traveled all over the world and have yet to find a vegan/vegetarian restaurant I have enjoyed more than this place.My wife and I chose to sit at the counter top, overlooking the kitchen. It was enjoyable watching the chefs meticulously prepare each dish. Every course brought to us was thoroughly explained by staff. Every course tasted better than the previous course. The interior also had low lighting, which set off a romantic vibe. I highly recommend bringing your spouse to this place.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian menu - Vegan upon requestDietary restrictions: Vegetarian menu - Vegan on request”

And as someone who loves fried food, heat and complex spice profiles, I loved so much of what this restaurant had to offer.For me, the best dish on the menu is the jambalaya.

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!!

Gramercy Tavern 42 E 20th St, New York New American • $$$$
42 E 20th St, New York

“Our group of 6 came in here for lunch while being violently hungover after a bender that consisted of American Bar to the Spaniard to Roscioli to Peculier Pub. Just a rough one. I could do that in college but I really feel it now smh.All this to say, Gramercy Tavern brought us back to life.I walked in here and felt like I walked into an Anthropology. I mean that in a compliment of the highest regard... Nobody touching Anthro, idc.The seemingly hundreds of flower arrangements, the natural light flowing in, the colorful art on the walls... It's just so happy in here.I sat out on hair of the dog and ordered a black americano because I'm a warrior, haha.We started with a dozen oysters and the grilled flatbread platter... I need to go on a side quest here about this flatbread platter. This was one of the best decisions we had made all weekend, honestly probably the best.This flatbread HAS to be made in house with how it was tasting. God it was so good... It reminded me of making homemade tortillas back in elementary school on Cinco De Mayo. Those were like CRACK.When we destroyed the flatbread and there were half the dips left, our waitress came by and said "do you guys want some more flatbread?" ... We all just kind of made eye contact with each other around the table like "That's an option!?!?"We got a re-up on the flatbread and sent that to the shadow realm as well. All this to say, get the flatbread.I think 4 of the 6 of us got burgers lol, but it was so necessary with being that hungover... One of those hangovers where if you think too hard your thoughts will rattle off of your brain. I was fighting for my life.I got my burger medium rare, as that's what the recommend and it was a little too rare for me ahahha but nobody to blame but myself, because I asked for this. Still good though don't get it twisted. The chips that came with the burger were perfect as well.For dessert, we got the Apple Cider donuts and the Chocolate Chunk Cookie. When the apple cider donuts came my internal dialogue was like "Damn, $18 for 3 little donuts" ... but I've never been so happy to be proven wrong. These were the best donuts I've ever had in my life. Granted, I'm not the biggest donut guy ever but I have dabbled, and these are IT!I also need to highlight the staff, as they are LOCKED in here. Bringing all our plates at the same time and clearing them in unison is such a small attention to detail that makes a HUGE difference. It’s not in a try hard way either. They are always smiling and seem genuinely happy to be working here, and it’s infectious. I actually just got back from the Locked In Factory, and they knew the entire Gramercy Tavern staff…One of the best vibes of any restaurant I have been to in New York City, even while battling a ruthless hangover. I'LL BE BACK FOR THAT FLATBREAD! FLATBREAD ALL STARS!IG @jnov_Tiktok @jnov__”

“Fantastic food, great service and peaceful ambience. The restaurant has plenty of seating and I would recommend it for large parties of 6-12. The most unique aspect of the menu is that appetizers and entrees are divided region (N, S, E, W) wise, which is a great way to provide a representative culinary experience. Their beverage selection was really good and I would recommend the thai ice tea, thai coffee and bee's water for refreshing summer drinks. The desserts are an absolute must.Highly recommend for a family dinner or hearty meal with friends.Vegetarian options: The kitchen can do a vegetarian version of most dishes.Dietary restrictions: The kitchen was also very accommodating with allergies. Someone in our party had peanut allergies, and knowing that thai food usually contains lot of nut based sauces, Mitr still provided a safe eating experience.”

Mari

Mari 679 9th Ave, New York Korean • $$

“Tonight I ate at Mari in NYC. It was exQUISITE.Now, everybody with a mouth knows that Asian cuisine in general is typically based on a careful balance of complimentary yet competing flavor components. Salt. Sweet. Sour. Umami. Astringence. Fermentation. All sorts of things that Western culture never thought to combine until the world started to get smaller and smaller. And that combination of flavors makes a lovely "photograph" in your mouth.What isn't quite as widely discussed is that in addition to that static dimension of flavor combinations is the dance of flavors over time.The added dimension. Some Asian food doesn't give you a photograph, it plays you a movie. From the moment you put a bite into your mouth, a whole show begins to unfold and if you're anything like me you close your eyes and ride the wave ignoring all outside distractions. That isn't unique to Asian cuisine, but I would argue it is Asian cuisine that takes it to the highest level.Dinner tonight was like that.I love my friends. I love sharing a meal with them.But I was glad I was alone tonight. I didn't want to talk about it. I didn't want to hear anyone else talk about it. I didn't want to distract from the experience for even a moment. I just wanted to be in the moment. I didn't take pictures. I didn't take notes. I don't remember squat from what they told me as the tasting menu progressed. I just remember each bite.So if you're in NYC and you're in the mood to blow a stash of cash on a night to be remembered, you heard it here first: Mari NYCMy parting comment to the chef that prepared my food was "You guys are gonna OWN this city." And they will.Sit at the counter. Trust me.”

Keens Steakhouse 72 W 36th St., New York Steak House • $$$$
72 W 36th St., New York

“O.M.G. The ultimate if you’re looking for a traditional and historic chophouse/ steakhouse that channels the 19th century in the best possible way. A James Beard Award winner and a must-try for red meat enthusiasts. Vegans and vegetarians can also eat well by selecting from the thoughtfully-executed side dishes. I can’t recommend Keens highly enough.DETAILS:Decor: Full of character, including 19th and early 2Oth century portraits and framed newspaper circulars; traditional ceiling-mounted racks displaying meerschaum pipes; and period lighting.Service: Gracious and well-executed, from the welcome at the front desk through the delivery of menus to the taking of orders and the delivery of food. Our server, Marianne, was delightful and couldn’t have been more attentive to our needs.Drinks: Beautifully-executed cocktails and an excellent wine list, including by-the-glass options. Companion’s New York sour, a bourbon sour, was delicious. The Pimm’s Cup, a traditional British cocktail containing Pimm’s No. 1 gin liqueur, lemon juice and ginger, was exceptional. I modified mine to be light on Pimm’s No. 1 (club soda was substituted for some the alcohol), and the end result was much like a tart and refreshing ginger lemonade. Amazing. As our experience suggests, Keens is definitely a place to indulge in cocktails. We also loved our wines by the glass and the Poire William (pear brandy) that we shared after dinner.Complimentary Foods: The first items delivered to your table, gratis, will be rolls and butter and a traditional relish plate (carrots, celery, Roquefort dressing.) All are delicious, prolong the excellent cocktails, and make the diner long for a return to complimentary relish and bread plates at all dining establishments.Entrees: Keens’ mutton chop is iconic and the source of its James Beard Award. The standard mutton chop is 2 inches thick and weighs 26 Oz. The “Taste of Mutton” is a 10 Oz chop — far more generous than its name would indicate and more than enough for those of average appetite. Both mutton chops are accompanied by delicious steamed escarole.If this is your first experience of a mutton chop (as was the case for me), you can liken Keens’ chop to a beautifully-prepared, very large lamb chop. Hearty and deeply flavorful, but not gamey. Keens advises you to order the same level of doneness that you’d try in a steak. I went with medium rare (versus my usual rare), and it was delicious. I’d even trust Keens with rare next time around.Keen’s filet mignon is also excellent, but the exceptional mutton chop is hard to beat. The prime rib looks incredible, too.Side Dishes: Largely vegetarian or vegan, generously portioned, and expertly prepared. We tremendously enjoyed the creamed spinach and sautéed field mushrooms.All told, Keens was an exceptional dining experience. I’m looking forward to returning.”

If this is an elevated dining experience, then why am I listening to Justin Bieber and The Weeknd? I don't need to hear an autotuned artist sing about how they feel most authentic when they're high while paying that kind of bill. When your customers are adults, maybe treat them that way?”

“Finally came after being told so many good things about this place. I have to say the March tasting menu is very nicely curated. I liked everything, and my mom enjoyed all the courses as well. The signature caviar kim exceeded my expectations; the seaweed was extremely crispy that it breaks as soon as you bite on it, making it easy to eat. We added abalone to the porridge, which was the right thing to do. The porridge itself is a bit on the salty side but not bad. Love the super crispy skin of the black cod, and the leek sauce on top of it. The dry aged and fire roasted duck dish also tasted really good. The playful plate of tiny bites that go with the duck dish complement the meat well. Two dessert dishes also pretty good. The pear sorbet was super creamy and fresh, it’s like you are biting into pear shaved ice. Then the donut with the brown sugar almond ice cream perfectly concluded the experience. I do want to caveat that maybe some ppl had an underwhelming experience because of different menus, but as far as the March menu goes, I would definitely recommend.”

Maki Kosaka 55 W 19th St, New York Sushi • $$
55 W 19th St, New York

“Maki Kosaka has a lot of great things going for it, but has a few misses that make me unable to rate it the full 5 stars. A great note to start: I was able to get a reservation here day-of on a Friday night for 2 people easily. When you walk in, it's a 2 section restaurant with a small bar/waiting area up front, and a huge space in the back with the counter wrapping around the center chef space. Honestly surprised me how nice it looked. I ordered the grab roll set. 5 pieces rolls for $38. Most add ons are about $8-10, unless you get something more premium. While the price point for the set wasn't super high, I did expect slightly larger rolls. It was barely larger than a nigiri, just with more rice, and often too much sauce. I will say: the seaweed wraps used here are probably the best I've had. The fish - I can't say the same. Almost every fish from the set lacked unctuousness, and it felt like they were trying to make up for a cheaper cut by adding fats like avocado and mayo. I also ordered the crab and ikura roll, and the seared scallop roll. The crab and ikura was good, but a bit heavy on the mayo, and the seared scallop was texturally nice, but missing sweetness from the scallop. Uni roll was an $18 add on, and while satisfying to have uni, I've definitely had better in nyc. I think fish could've been a bit less mashed, with less sauce to really taste the flavor and textural difference. Finally, a pro and a con: service was FAST. Maybe a little too fast. The chef was pre-preparing rolls on the side in whatever order he wanted, and immediately setting the next roll on our plates before we were even done chewing the previous roll. We were able avoid feeling rushed by just not eating the roll immediately, but still felt like we couldn't wait too long if we didn't want to affect the freshness of the piece. I wish he would have slowed down to check in with us, rather than run away and get started on the next orders immediately. At least the wait staff was incredibly welcoming and patient with me and my friends' slow ordering speed. Didn't feel rushed to get out at all. Overall, good, but not great.”

Una Pizza Napoletana 175 Orchard St, New York Pizza • $$$
175 Orchard St, New York

“This is a good pizzeria, but is it the second best in the world? Nope. Not even close.The hype is definitely there. I started lining up 30 minutes before it opened. There were already some people lining up, so I was able to get inside about 20 minutes after opening time. That’s about 50 minutes of waiting time. I immediately got seated as I luckily went there solo (parties of two and more were told to come back after a few hours!)Ok, the moment of truth. First of all, the menu was boring. I mean come on I know sticking to the classics is important, but could you at least be a bit more creative than any random pizzeria in Naples? Anyway, I had roasted peppers for starters. It was alright, just roasted peppers that are better than average. Then, I had to have the margherita, since this place is all about simplicity. The prices were astronomical and the expectations are getting higher, so this margherita had better be so damn good, right? By the way, it is worth mentioning that the extra “red cow 24/36-month old parmeggiano reggiano” was $4. Sure, all of the ingredients were top-quality, but honestly, the pizza was not phenomenal at all. In fact, it had a few weaknesses that affected the experience negatively:1. The pizza crust was too doughy. The first bite of each slice is delicious, the second is 50% dough, after that you would be chewing 100% dough like a goat. Amazing dough, sure, but dough, nonetheless.2. The “Sicilian sea salt” (aka sodium chloride that came from Sicily) was too coarse. Some bites were saltier than others because, apparently, the salt did not completely dissolve due to its coarseness.3. The pizza was a little burnt and the bottom had traces of burnt flour debris from the oven. If you think this is authentic, then I’ve got some bad news for you. From what I know, good pizza chefs ensure that the oven is always clean and the pizza is not burnt so that it wouldn’t have a bitter taste. Unfortunately, I experienced bitterness quite a few times here and it really distracted me from the beautiful sweetness of the tomato.4. I couldn’t see the pizza. The lighting was too dim. Why make it so fancy and formal? Pizza should be enjoyed casually, it shouldn’t be fine dining. At least not like this.I have to say that the service was great. But having visited some of the pizzerias from the top 50 list, I expected much, much more from the second best pizzeria in the world.”

“My visit to this Thai restaurant was a delightful departure from my previous dining experiences, particularly in terms of the ambiance and decor which significantly exceeded that of the last establishment I visited. The atmosphere here was incredibly relaxing. To my right, an American family was enjoying their meal, while to my left, a group of friends gathered, adding to the convivial environment. Positioned at a cozy corner myself, the sight of a cheerful plant and the array of beverages on display brought me immense joy. The bartender, responsible for serving the dishes, was exceptionally attentive, reminding me of the pace at which my orders would arrive, contributing to a thoroughly pleasant dining experience.Despite the busy hour around 8 PM, which slightly delayed the serving of my dishes, it did not detract from my overall dining pleasure. Whether visiting alone or with friends, the experience has always been engaging and fun, making the expenditure wholly worthwhile. The decor and ambiance felt like an extension of my home, making it all the more special considering its mere three-minute distance from where I live. It felt as if I was dining in the comfort of my beautiful home.A particularly unique aspect of this restaurant was its preservation of authentic Thai restroom culture. The restroom, equipped with a large speaker, offered an immersive 3D auditory experience with original Thai music playing in the background, evoking memories of Bangkok and Phuket. This feature was amusing and added a distinctive touch to the overall ambiance.I plan to upload all relevant photos and videos to my Google review, guiding others through what I consider to be an exemplary dining experience.Thank you, and goodbye.And see you next time!!!”

“This was our second outstanding dinner at Union Square Cafe in the last month. As with our previous dinner, tonight’s dinner at USC was superb in all respects. The food was delicious - from the scallop dish (created in honor of the renowned Paris bistro L’ Ami Jean), pristine Tuna Crudo, decadent Arroncini, Steak Tartare, delicately cooked Cod in an aromatic shellfish broth and a rich breast of Duck. The performance of the USC kitchen was impressive; there was not an off note in the entire dinner.Union Square Cafe revolutionized “hospitality” in the restaurant industry. Tonight’s service was a reflection of this seminal service ethos. The service provided by Bob Yee was wonderful. Mr. Yee personifies the legendary warmth of service which was the foundation of this iconic, ground breaking restaurant four decades ago. Under the watchful eye of GM Mike Pernicano and long time team members such as Mr. Yee , USC remains a New York treasure.It should be noted that the USC wine list remains one of the City’s finest, with carefully curated selections from across the globe. The USC wine list is fairly priced (as it has been since the restaurant shocked the industry with its groundbreaking focus on artisanal producers from France and Italy). Such consumer friendly pricing stands in contrast to the predatory wine markups prevalent throughout the restaurant landscape.”

The food is a gastronomical fantasy. Incredible flavors, fresh ingredients, truly mouth-watering meals. My Boyfriend is from Peru and he says Mission Ceviche is like coming home for him. He is practically obsessed with the two ceviche dishes (Mixto y Classico). For me it is the short ribs. O-M-G I don’t think I have EVER had a meal so memorable and incredibly delicious. To be honest my words do not do the deliciousness of this meal justice. Simply put...it is oh so good. The short rib is cooked to perfection and is so tender you can eat it with a spoon. The accompanying sides are the perfect compliment. The sauce that’s used...I hope they bottle it because I would buy vats of it! The rice with choclo is sublime. The tres leches rich, creamy and absolutely decadent. The food is amazing. The interior of the restaurant is gorgeous. The music is fiyah. The location is super convenient—a half a block to the subway and Crosstown bus. What really sets Mission Ceviche apart is the incredible Maitre’d Carlos. He treats all patrons the same...from babies in strollers to celebrities. He is so incredibly kind, humble, gracious, charming, intelligent, professional and inspiring. He is passionate and proud. It is awesome to see him keep the atmosphere ebullient and festive and the food flowing. He manages it all so effortlessly. I think it is because he honestly loves his chosen career and when you’re happy and you know it “work” is pure joy. That joy Carlos gives it to all of the Mission Ceviche patrons. This was not me and my Boyfriend’s first time dining at Mission Ceviche. We are now greeted by our first names when we arrive. Carlos is there and he has the biggest smile and we know that we are in great hands and know we will eat well. Every dining experience at Mission Ceviche is amazing! Go to this restaurant...make the reservation...you will not be disappointed...trust me! Bravo Carlos and the entire Mission Ceviche staff.”

I thought the cheese donuts with the combination of sweet and savory were superb but my friend didn’t like it so much. The uni also could have been more fresh especially with the 45$ extra MP charge.

I normally only highlight one dish, but this meal was a total team effort. WE NOT ME!The cuttlefish was like a less chewy octopus that had some SPICE, it even tapped big bro out! Chicken Wings at $15 were a STEAL and delicious. Crab Fried Rice was the glue guy willing to do all the dirty work. Crab Fried Rice was Tony Allen, just a DAWG... It brought our palates back to earth before that steamed fish.Steamed fish was PACKED with flavor, herbs, and spices and sits in a delectable cilantro lime broth that I may or may not have been eating by the spoon once we eliminated the fish. It was the perfect end to a perfect meal.The Cheeks lived up to the hype, some of the best Thai food I've had in NYC… But the best I've ever had still belongs to Kalaya in Philly.

“Super eclectic in its decor with a splash of some hypebeast decor. I love the interior design. Very chic.Decided to try Monsieur Vo last night and it didn’t disappoint. A lot of traditional Vietnamese flavors with a modern twist.We did not have a reservation prior but called 30 minutes before arriving. Was it fate? I think it was.We arrived as planned but it was a busy Thursday night. We were seated at the bar as we waited for our table which didn’t take too long for it to be prepared and got to try their cocktails during our wait. Was just a tad bit sweet for my taste but my fiancé enjoyed hers then she decided on wine for dinner, which is a plus cause she loves her wine.Now, on to our appetizer and entree. We decided to try the:1. Bahn Khot - was a nice stater, was not over filling but flavors worked well! We enjoyed it.2. Com Chief Cua - we liked it but felt there was not much crab in our dish as hoped for but the flavor was great! I would recommend.3. Beef Shank - we were not ready the amount of beef headed our way, but it was GREAT! It was super tender, flavorful and juicy! A lot for 2 people but we did it anyways and glad we had enough to take some home.So I was told the restaurant is the “husband” restaurant of Madame Vo, which makes sense now. Both restaurants were great, depending on what are looking for. From what I remember of Madame Vo, its menu focused on more of a traditional/classic take on dishes vs Monsieur Vo having a twist using Vietnamese flavors to enhance dishes, but not necessarily a fusion of different cuisines.We said we would go back another time and would try the dishes we didn’t get to order but we recommend it.Love that the Vietnamese food scene is becoming more visible in NYC!”

“I was lucky to have found a table a couple of hours before the dinner started, I went alone and it was a great experience.Some of the combinations of flavours were very interesting, would recommend it.The courses paced quite well, I'd say just slightly too fast.Vegetarian options: Just don't come here if you're vegetarian, even if they offer something it'd be a waste of money.”

“You have to remember that when you dine in a Michelin star you will be paying a big price for tiny portions. So all that aside the food itself was truly amazing. You must get the gnocchi fritto. The bread is pillowy soft, not greasy at all and pairs so well with the salty proscuitto. I was most excited about the uovo ravioli and tbh it was a bit disappointing but I think this was just a personal preference because of all accts it should be a perfect dish. You need to be prepared to go all out because otherwise you will leave hungry.”

Koloman

Koloman 16 W 29th St, New York French • $$$$
16 W 29th St, New York

“TLDR: Replacing what was The Breslin is now Koloman. This is a very European restaurant. I've only been for lunch but for this level of dining, probably one of the better prefixe menus. I think the focaccia is worth it and for my selections, tartare, schnitzel and strudel.I went through a week of just eating a lot of fancy lunches solo. This day I hit up Koloman as I was curious about their prefixe for awhile.I added the warm pumpkin focaccia and yeah - that was tasty. Definitely rubbed in plenty of oil but it was nicely crispy on the outside but oh so fluffy on the inside. That butter was something else too.For the selections I started with the tartare. Typical french preparation, not too eggy or rich. Adequate acidity and very flavorful.Schnitzel. I wanted to like this a bit more but it was still good. The schnitzel coating was quite thin but maybe the way it was plated on top of each other - it kind of steamed out the coating and it just fell off. I liked the warm potato salad that accompanied it. I still am not a fan of lingonberry but I can appreciate it.Strudle. Very thin layers, tasty but maybe too much powdered sugar for my preference.Overall - I liked the food enough that Id' be back and maybe try some other things on the menu. Standout for me on this meal though? Focaccia, tartare.”

Maestro Pasta 102 MacDougal Street, New York Italian • $$
102 MacDougal Street, New York

“The drinks were so delicious and the food was good but the flatbread with prosciutto I would recommend.The atmosphere was so cute, you can see the kitchen from the dining area and on the wall there is seating on one side and swings on the other which was really cool touch. The bathroom is also super cute and there is a little barrel with a foot pedal outside the bathroom in case you just need to wash your hands.”

PLANTA Queen 15 W 27th St, New York Vegan • $$

“Good upscale style vegan Asian fusion restaurant, although portions could be bigger. If you want a big satisfying meal I wouldn’t recommend coming here.I do highly recommend the Japanese sweet potato and sushi (can’t remember which roll). I wouldn’t normally order vegan sushi but this was surprisingly delicious even though there was no fish, so definitely worth it! We also had the Singapore noodles but that was just alright, very light and not much vegetables.”

Tempura Matsui 222 E 39th St, New York Japanese • $$$$

“Came here for a surprise birthday lunch. Menu: Shrimp head Shrimp Mushroom Fish with the bones (?) Snow Crab with Shiso Leaf Brussel Sprout with Seaweed(?) Scallop Snow pea & Baby Onion Flying fish Lotus Anago Tendon with miso Wasn't incredibly oily at the end of everything, I had a beer to go with my meal as a palette cleanser. Service was great, showed great attention to customers. Chefs were attentive, and notice when you want a good video shot at the whole frying process and try not to ruin your video. As a small extra birthday surprise, added a nice large strawberry with a mochi ice cream. Great experience, would love to try again someday.”

“I was so excited to finally be able to be able to eat here as it's been on my list for so long! When we first arrived, the hostess was a bit rude and short with us when explaining that everyone in our party needed to be there prior to being seated. After we were seated, however, the experience was nothing short of incredible. Our waitress, Lydia, provided some wine recommendations based on what we told her we were looking for, and they were perfect. She walked us through the entire menu, giving us her top picks from each section. Among 5 people, we split the pear crostone, the spaghetti, the tagliatelle, the crab squid ink pasta, and the cacio e peppe, along with the roasted chicken and the crispy potatoes and Brussels sprouts. The group agreed that the roasted chicken was one of the best things any of us had ever eaten. In terms of pasta, my personal favorite was the tagliatelle, but the crab squid ink pasta was another fan favorite. The Brussels were delicious, and the potatoes were cooked so perfectly. To finish, we shared the chocolate chip cinnamon cookies and the salted chocolate cake which were both to die for. Thank you so much to Lydia (and the chef of course!) for making this experience so memorable for us!!!”

32nd street entrance, 1250, Broadway 39th Foor, New York

“I had my parents' 50th Anniversary Dinner at Gaonnuri in Feb 2024.1. Staff - They were pleasantly nice and helpful. They were always on top of everything. My glass was never empty and the used plates were constantly replaced with the new ones. They were also very knowledgeable with what they are serving. The wine sommelier recommended the perfect wines for all of us. I loved all his suggestions. They also provided the "personalized" menu for our group with my parents' names on it.2. Food - Food was good as always. Food was not too salty or spicy. My elderly parents enjoyed the food so much! Even my kids (age 8, 14, 17) loved all of them. Their favorite was Japchae and beef tartare in addition to Galbi!!3. Atmosphere - Beautiful view of NYC. We rented a lounge to celebrate my parents' golden wedding. The table set up was beautiful. Everyone was able to enjoy the view while eating dinner.I strongly suggest this place for special events whether it is for adults or kids!”
