“Wish I could try this man’s food. It was very interesting how I came to be at this establishment today. Went into a place next-door that wasn’t quite what I was hoping it would be. When I stepped outside, I was standing in front of this gentleman‘s restaurant, actually googling on my phone - banana pudding. He was excited they had just taken the scaffolding down so you could actually see the front of his restaurant. He was very friendly so he invited me in and when he showed me the menu, the second dessert item listed was in fact, banana pudding. Homemade, truly excellent. I’ll definitely come back to try the food he just wasn’t ready for service when I stopped in. Super friendly guy as well. Go visit this restaurant.“

“Awesome food and like the most of their dishes“

“I was told about this spot thru a friend. I decided to check it out.
Food was very fresh, and tasty. I had the crab legs, shrimp, noodles, potatoes, and corn in a bag, with the signature sauce. So good!
I love the ambiance, music playing (not to loud) for you to bop your head to…but you can also have a conversation without yelling.
Service was on point and on time. For good food and chill vibes, I recommend ESO PESCO. I will definitely come again.“

“Excellent service and Plenty of options! Everything was amazing!“

“100 percent recommendation“

“The hospitality is always on point when I dine there. The food is delicious. A nice small intimate setting. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others.“

“Stopped here super quickly due to my other half being in the surgery center next door. Not from the Clifton area at all. I wanted to grab a little treat for him. I got the banana pudding. Omg!! To die for. The girl (assuming owner) was super sweet! Very cute place! A little hidden gem for sure!!“

“Let me tell you something!!!
I just tried this young man's food and to say the food is delicious is an understatement. I tell you I was satisfied and felt a good home feeling eating this soul food!!!
I absolutely love the service, the owner is very kind, humble and loves what he does. It speaks though the food. I ordered nacho cheese fries and teriyaki wings and it was the bomb ? ?
I will surely be eating here especially on a good Friday night after work because the food, service and atmosphere gives what it's supposed to give. Definitely check it out it doesn't fail to impress. Thank you.“

“Nice partying place for gatherings“

“The food was delicious , service and staff were so attentive and accommodating , conveniently located a few blocks from Time Square .It is definitely a must in your next visit to NY .“

“I've ordered take out from the location on 117th Street twice and their food is delicious! First time I ordered All Fish. It was nicely seasoned and fried crispy. Second time I ordered the Fish and Shrimp dinner with Collard Greens and Candied Yams. The meal definitely hit the spot! The Collard Greens are quite tasty (I could order them as a side minus the Fish and Shrimp). I swear by their Collard Greens, they have a slight smoked flavor! I give them two 👍🏾👍🏾! The Candied Yams were delicious with a hint of sweetness to them. They get a 👍🏾 as well. Fish and Shrimp were tasty. Service was fast and professional. I highly recommend Lighthouse Fish Market and Restaurant to those who are looking for a reasonably priced, quality meal.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Stars N Elites Restaurant Lounge New Jersey, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant yet inviting, setting the tone for an incredible evening out with my family.

The menu offered a fantastic variety, and each dish we tried was nothing short of amazing! The flavors were spot-on, and you could tell a lot of thought and passion went into each recipe. Not only was the food superb, but the bar was also impressive?!

What really made the experience exceptional was the staff. Everyone we interacted with was warm, attentive, and seemed genuinely happy to make our visit memorable. The owner even came by our table to check on us and make sure we were enjoying everything – a wonderful personal touch that made us feel valued.

The location added to the overall vibe, making it a perfect spot. I can confidently say I can’t wait to return when we are visiting family again.“

“Dweji-gomtang (pork bone broth soup) is really smooth and clear. You could taste the richness of the pork while drinking the broth. The pork is slicing into really thin slices and it goes really well with the gochu-ji. The spicyness balances the greasy taste of the pork. The side dish kimchi radish is crisp and balanced the whole dish. The restaurant is a little bit small and doesn’t have a lot of space, but definitely worth a try for its pork broth soup“

“Thanksgiving meal was awful, just awful. Nothing was sliced. Ni gravy. The meat was chopped up. Dressing was worse than stove top. Sweet potato pie was awful. Stale.no taste. Who is the cook in this place.

Paid $150 food was horrible . Never again.“

“We really liked the food, it tasted good and seemed like good quality. All five of us liked the food, even the vegetarians had a lot to choose from, the man working there was nice. The place is ordinary but if you want good food you can go there and eat or you can take the food with you.“

“If you have a taste, for some great home cooking, make your way to Maggie's! A small family run joint, where the food is made with soul and love! The meatloaf, yams and greens, are crave worthy and the cabbage, mac n cheese and ribs will make you wish you bought more! I have eaten Soul Food, from way South to NYC, in homes and restaurants and Maggie's rates up there with some of the most delicious, I've had. As they say down South, "they put their feet in that food"!!!“

“Great food. My sons first ramen. He really liked it.“

“Title: Enthralled by Steppers Dance Group at Londel's in HarlemI had the pleasure of being invited to witness the incredible talent of a Steppers dance group at the renowned restaurant Londel's in Harlem. Despite a knee injury that prevented me from joining in the dancing, I was captivated by the mesmerizing performances I witnessed.The dancers displayed impeccable hand and foot coordination, executing intricate turns and movements with grace and precision. Their skill and passion for Steppers dance were evident in every step, creating a mesmerizing spectacle for all in attendance.The atmosphere at Londel's was electric, filled with excitement and energy as the dancers moved to the rhythm of the music. Although I was unable to partake in the dancing myself, I felt inspired and motivated to recover from my knee injury and return to the dance floor.Watching the Steppers dance group at Londel's was a truly unforgettable experience, and I am eagerly looking forward to the day when I can join in the fun and experience the joy of dancing once again after my knee surgery.I would highly recommend anyone in the Harlem area to visit Londel's and witness the incredible talent of the Steppers dance group for themselves. It is an experience that is sure to leave you in awe and leave you eagerly anticipating your next visit.“

“The food was cooked to perfection texture is perfect I must say and the staff is friendly and attentive so the service gets a five-star unfortunately the food doesn't quite hit like a Jamaican spot should the flavors aren't their. it is good don't get me wrong but it is lacking that Jamaican passion those hole in the wall spots have.“
