“Ordered takeout on Uber eats - my new favorite sushi spot for sure!!! Philly role added cucumber, avocado peanut roll added mango dipped in dynasty sauce, kani salad added extra spicy Mayo, veggie spring rolls (buy one get one free), miso soup & the crab rangoons? omg so delish & everything was fresh!! Highly recommend crab rangoons“
“Bad reviews here are likely up because of the usual Yelp shakedown extortion scheme. I've lived in Asia for almost a decade, I'm very picky about it and these folks have THE GOODS. Not just on one but several cuisines. Sushi rolls are solid and the noodles, wontons, soups, and curries are fire. Ask for spicy if you like that. Hidden treasure.“
“We had a WONDERFUL time at Mala Project this week. Our server, Kyle, was extremely helpful in recommending ‘must haves’ for our appetizers, dry pot and, of course, drinks. We planned for only a quick bite to eat, but the atmosphere was so welcoming, we ordered more drinks and hung out for a while. Highly recommend this restaurant!“
“Hi all! Yesterday we ordered three lagmans to take with us and were absolutely delighted!!! I've definitely never tried this before! It was truly amazing!!! The portions are large and I thought about not eating it all at once, but I couldn’t stop myself? Very nice service. We were treated to tea, and they also close at 9, but they waited for us for half an hour, thank you very much for that!? I’ll definitely be back ?“
“I was just there last week with a friend. It was packed and busy as always. Our server Andy was super friendly and the food was AMAZING! We ordered pork soup dumplings, pork and crab meat soup dumplings, sautéed string beans, and general tso chicken. They were sooooooooo good!!! Make sure to eat your soup dumplings with the chilli pepper oil sauce that's on the table.“
“Ottimo ristorante di Ramen (giapponese e non quello "tarocco" o fatto con quello istantaneo del supermercato) che offre anche una fantastica selezione di ravioli. Prezzi tutto sommato accettabili per la media della città e acqua gratuita. Posto piccolo, accogliente, staff cordiale e velocissimo. Porzioni corpose quindi ordinate con cautela o non riuscirete a finire tutto.“
“The ambiance of the place, with cozy seating, set the stage for a delightful evening for aficionados of ramen.The ramen itself was a revelation: a steaming bowl brimming with uniquely rich, heartwarming broth, springy noodles, and an array of toppings that came together flawlessly.Prices were reasonable. Overall, it was a 5-star experience that I can't wait to repeat.“
“I had the chicken Tikka, garlic Naan and mango lassi. Everything was decent. Tikka masala has a decent amount of chicken and was seasoned. Garlic Naan wasn't too garlicy There is a promotion for free mango lassi with a Google review. Restaurant is clean. Service could be improved. I entered the restaurant and no one inquired about seating. It also took them some time before they came over to take our order. They did not come to check on us throughout our meal.“
“Came to NY for work and stumbled upon this GEM in downtown Brooklyn. Carlos is running an incredible Chef’s Table experience, better than any Michelin star restaurant I’ve been to in Chicago.My S.O and I had a romantic evening paired with hand picked wines from Carlos himself and an exceptional tasting menu. First time I left a fine dining experience FULL. The food was not only a work of art but an educational experience created with the highest quality ingredients available!“
“Great place to eat. Friendly and big portions. I have tried most things and liked them but. My go to order is the Chicken Bimbap Bowl with Tiger Sauce. They are donating a portion of sales to Annandale Baseball on Monday 4/26 and Tuesday 4/27... Just mention Annandale at the register or in the "Special Instructions" when ordering online.“
“Really beautiful space with lovely food and great service. I was expecting a bit more from the food tbh for the price (not sure what though because I have no real complaint but it wasn't spectacular other than the mixed fritter appetizer which was the best tempura I've ever had). All in all 4.5 stars.“
“If you’re a fan of the Dragon Ball franchise and good tasting Asian food then this is easily the best spot for it. Not only was the waitress absolutely phenomenal an attentive but the Dragon Ball decor made the super fan in me mesmerized. Everything about this place from the amazing staff to food to look of place deserves 10 stars really! I will for sure be back!!!“
“Came here on a cold Wednesday night and absolutely was blown away by their ramen. Specifically the Tabata ramen was top notch!! On the menu it notes that the Tabata ramen is spicy but it is not (I don't tolerate spicy foods well so was hesitant to order). It was amazing and the service was quick and friendly. I usually like trying different ramen places every time I get it but will definitely return and make this an UES staple restaurant for me!“
“This location is hands-down a high-quality place. I'm currently in grad school, and this place has never failed me when I order something to go. I've tried most of the main dishes and they are all great. The food has lots of flavor and is always served hot. When I order delivery, the order is always delivered quickly and the customer service is great. I highly recommend everyone in the neighborhood give this place a try.“

“Had a late lunch here with a friend while visiting Cliffside Park. The service, food and atmosphere was good! I really enjoyed my time in this area. I will return when in the area again. I had the spicy ramen, spicy tuna rolls, hot tea and tempura fried ice cream for dessert ?“
“I remember this place before they even moved into an actual restaurant, it was just a small stall shop on 49th street with just a standing table. I cannot find this flavor anywhere else!! I love every single dish here but especially the zhajiang mi xian (no soup version), the sour spicy dumplings, and the pork intestine noodles. ? this place has to be on my list of top 10 favorite noodles.“
“So if you stop here definitely just be prepared to eat outside on the street. It’s small inside so know your order ahead of time. I read reviews and got the pork burger but I would say skip it. I wasn’t impressed at all and the bun is a thick sesame seed bun like a bagel. The pork and chive dumplings were delicious and worth the stop however you can get dumplings anywhere else nearby. The prices can’t be beat here! I will say you definitely get a lot for your money.“
“Little bit of a wait but great food. We have a variety of pallets in terms of spice and they were able to accommodate all of us. Food was great, service was excellent, and it's in a prime location for desserts or just lively activities.“
“4.5 overall. A decent sized place with a bar (no liquor license yet, but they're trying for it! BYOB until then) and games to play. Lots of metered street parking. There were 8 of us (a couple of us carpooled) and we did not have trouble finding parking. Since there were 8 of us, we were able to try almost all their dishes! The bathroom is large and beautifully decorated florally. Mimi (the co-owner with Chef Shane) was informative and attentive. She helped us decide portion sizing and answered any questions we had. The water comes infused with citrus, adding a refreshing taste. We all opted to get other drinks as well. I opted for the Calico Calpico. It was balanced with the sweetness of the calpico and salted rim. Did not taste much of the oolong tea, though that is a lighter flavor. Must gets: The Golden Crab Bao was loaded with tender snow crab stuffed into a crispy bun. The creme fraiche and yuzu tobiko add a lovely balance. The Roasted Bone Marrow came with soft toast. Gotta eat it quick while it's still hot! The marrow was delicious and went well with the toasty but soft bread. There is a little bit of meat still on the bone for those who enjoy gnawing on bone! The Fresno Gouda Cornbread had a nice kick from the jalapeno. Perfectly crispy outside and soft inside. The Chicken and Mochi Waffle is a great twist on a classic dish. The salty and sweet soy garlic maple syrup went well with the crispy chicken and toasty squishy mochi waffle bites. I love how shareable this dish since it's bite sized! The Rice Noodle Rolls were flavorful, soft and chewy. Just wish I wasn't so full by the time this came out. I would have eaten much more! If you love...then get: The Endives Salad is a little strong with the vinaigrette. It does help balance the bitterness of the endive, but only get if you love endives. The Stir-Fry Peashoots was a big portion! It stayed pipping hot and was flavorful. I love pea shoot and this is a great version. The Mala Tots have a strong tingly kick, which can be cooled down with the delicious dip. I just wish there was more dip! The Charcoal-Seared Scallops is buttery deliciousness. It was seared perfectly. The pickles helped balance the richness. The Pork Ribs were fall off the bone tender and had a good little kick from the gochujang. The melted mozzarella went well with the spice. The sweet potatoes are on the side. Can skip: The Milk Bread is a bit small in size. Wish they were bigger so I could really taste the fluffiness. The honey butter is a tasty addition though. The Salmon Seaweed Crisp is a decent portion size. Fresh seafood atop a crisp with the wasabi crema hidden beneath (which I couldn't really taste). The BLT Fried Rice was loaded with bacon and tobiko. It felt more like a sticky rice than fried rice, but that is probably from the baconnaise and soy-cured yolk. Not a texture I am expecting with fried rice. The Pork Belly Wrap had cripsy pork, a few pieces of lettuce (we requested more), a tasty peri-peri dip, and pork rinds that was break your teeth hard. Besides not being able to eat the pork rinds at all, the dish was forgettable. Desserts were hard to judge since we were so full and only had a bite: The Asian Pear Sorbet was chilled and sweet. Nicely presented. The Persimmon Cake Roll wasn't too sweet. Not memorable though. The Milk Tea Pudding was super sweet, but did have a strong bergamot flavor. It was a looser consistency than expected. Wet wipe given at the end, which is great for those who opt for their boil or burger (neither of which we ordered, but would be interested in trying!)“
“I went there for lunch with my colleagues, and we liked it there. With $13.99, the lunch menu has one Wantang soup and rice bowl along with a main dish. I would like to go there again because it is close to my office, and I love Sichuan food.“
“Every single dish was so unique, flavorful, filling and exceeded our expectation. Our favorites were the soft shell grab sandwich CEC sandwich and the thick cut bacon dish. The service was also great for how busy they were at closing time. They even gave us free chicken for our wait. Will definitely be back here soon!!“

“The service attitude is very good. She kept asking us if it suits our taste. I think it is very considerate. The lady has a very good service attitude. She helped us take photos and gave guidance. The food is delicious. I recommend the Pad Thai the most.“
“I am southeast asian (Cambodian), so I was very pleased to find this hidden gem in Chinatown on Mott St! The food is tasty and full of flavor, and the portion is great! I am very picky with my asian food, so when I say I approve, I approve! Come give it a try!!“
“We had an amazing dinner at the chefs table. The food was really good and they went above and beyond to accommodate a person in our party with dietary restrictions. The drinks were delicious and the service was great overall no complaints and will definitely return.“
“Ahh! Such a beautiful date night at Cellar 335. Advance reservations are necessary to ensure that you get a table. We went on a Saturday night and the place was packed. The restaurant is in the basement and has a speakeasy vibe to it.The food and the drinks were unique and delicious. For food, we tried the avocado fried rice (customized without egg), the crispy tofu bao buns and the spicy cornbread - the portion sizes were great too. For drinks we had Shipwrecked (the best!), Pole star and a spicy drink. They did not have many of the cocktails on the menu so best check with them before you decide on one. Definitely ask for the dessert menu - we tried the passion fruit panna cotta and it was the best way to end the meal!Our hostess, Alli was very nice and friendly. This restaurant is expensive, but definitely worth a visit for the lovely ambience and the great food/drinks.Vegetarian options: There are some great vegetarian options available and a few others can be customised and be made vegetarian.“
“It's simply the best soup in the NYC, period. It's comfort food. The soup reached your soul. It's homey, like coming into visit a close relative. With that, you immediately feel love from the chefs who just humbly give you one of the best things you ever tasted. I'll dream about the food.“
“I came to this restaurant for dinner last night. Overall, I was not impressed and was even a little disappointed. In terms of service, I wanted to get help three times last night but could not find the waiter, and even when I waved, he did not come over to ask. I don’t understand if they had other things to deal with yesterday and were very busy, but when dining in, There were only three tables in the area where I ate. In terms of food, I learned about the Peking duck in this store from the xhs app. I went there for the Peking duck and hot stone wagyu. The wagyu was very thin. Yesterday’s waiter took a long time to fry it, and the wagyu was too thin. It started to roll up, so it wasn't heated evenly and was overcooked in the middle. Yesterday I ordered four dishes of Peking duck, sliced duck with pancake, lychee wood-smoked sliced duck, soup, and salt and pepper duck rack. The pancake was as thin as paper and elastic, which was very good. It was eaten wrapped with Peking duck and lychee. The wood smoke is very ordinary, there is no smell of lychee wood, it is just ordinary smoke. The soup is well made and not greasy at all. It also contains barley, yam and wolfberry. The most disappointing thing is the salt and pepper duck rack. I don’t know if the chef was in a hurry to cook it, but some were extremely salty and some were tasteless. I didn’t order wine yesterday, but ordered hot tea. I feel like this place is more suitable for a drink and a get-together. I can invite friends over for drinks next time, but the food still has a lot of room for improvement.“
“This food was so delicious that 6 months later I am still thinking about it once a week. The fusion was great and I am so pleased it was shown to me by a friend. The restaurant is rather small but does not feel claustrophobic. The service was fantastic, we had a very pleasant waiter. I would suggest making a reservation in advance since seating is limited.“
“Upon arriving on March 14, 2024 at 6:45pm, I was 0kindly greeted by two very polite and courteous servers. The food was exceptional and so was the service. I will be going back and bringing others with me. I so appreciated the hospitality. KUDO! ❤️ ?Vegetarian options: Great meal with sesame string beans.“
“The Shakam Datsi was incredible! I never had a dish so balanced with sun-dried beef strips with cheese, veggies, and spices. The atmosphere is great. If you are into trying new cuisines like me, this is a must on the list ! Thank you Pema for the welcoming service.“
“LOVEEE love mama! The staff is so friendly and the food is absolutely delicious and so authentic. We got the Thai tea, the beef rendang, peanut dumplings, and basil chicken kra pao. Everything was 11/10. Couldn’t recommend more. Will be coming back weekly.“
“Amazing food, awesome atmosphere, a must try if you are in the East Village area. The people who work there are really kind and take great care of you while you're there. I would definitely recommend the Taiwanese popcorn chicken and Signature claypot!“
“This place has the best jok bal (pork feet) in Fort Lee/Cliffside Park.Also recommend their pork bone soup with potatoes - it's hearty and not too spicy, yet full of flavors. However it's not the best I've had.Price is fair and service is friendly. Plenty of parking in the plaza nearby. May need to wait on weekends.“
“I ordered Chicken Bahn mi and It was good ?The only thing I was concerned about was that there were not many vegetables compared to other shops in Grand central and Boroplaza.The staff was kind and good.Kid-friendliness: If you get it for small kids ,You need to ask rnon spicy because cilantro sauce is spicy to kids.You can go with a stroller!“
“Super tasty batten ramen, I like it and the appetizers are delicious, it’s funny that they have Manga for foreigners since we don’t know the language! (There should be something for all languages.?) But the food is very delicious, I faithfully recommend it..“
“The food was so good! I’ve been to Bangkok and Phuket, plenty of times and this place really captures the authentic art of Thai cuisine. Will definitely be returning to try more of what’s on their menu!Parking: Plenty of spots around the restaurant.“
“Quick dinner! I got the shrimp dumplings with a count of 4. The shrimp dumplings were very juicy and good! For my main entree I got the low mein with pork. The pork was not good and not cooked very much long. It had many way too fatty pieces. Otherwise the restaurant is a 7/10. So it is average. There could be better restaurants than this.“
“Been coming to this place for over 10 years and finally getting around to write a well deserved review. Whether it be their lunch special or dinner menu, they do not disappoint. My favorite is their dry pot dish, braised beef noodle soup, and the sweet and tangy orange beef. The appetizers are excellent as well as the typical Szechuan cuisines. Please do not change the chef and will keep coming back.“
“I order pickup here almost exclusively when craving sushi and it's definitely the best in the area. That said, some things on the menu just shouldn't be on there at all. If you're going for the first time the standouts are spicy girl roll, rockstar roll, firecracker shrimp app, and any of the classic sushi rolls.“
“This is hands down my favorite sushi in Brooklyn and honestly the best sushi I've ever had! I stumbled upon this place last year and have tried plenty of sushi since but nothing compares. The quality of the fish they use is incredible, super fresh. Every roll I've tried has been delicious. But I think what really makes it that much better is that you can tell that they put love into their food. The owners are super kind and welcoming. Every time I come in, I'm treated with the utmost respect and care. They are hardworking and humble people that genuinely want you to have a good experience. Even friends who I've brought there have said it's some of the best sushi they've ever had. Okinawa is a staple! (Picture: Alaska Roll & Okinawa Roll)“
“Had the spicy karaki pork ramen. It was so tasty, I highly recommend having it. It was absolutely delicious. When we got it, we weren't sure if we would be able to finish, but it was over in no time :) Ambiance is great too. We were meeting a friend after long and were able to make conversation. We did have to wait a good 30-40 mins before we got a table, but well worth it!“
“I don’t go to Brooklyn very much but my daughter and I lucked out when we found this place. The food was terrific and the prices were as well. The staff was welcoming and attentive. It has a great vibe. I might find my way to Bushwick more often just to go back. Highly recommended.“
“The food was good for the prices offered. The fish quality is pretty good as well for the maki rolls. They offer lunch special deals that are very worth it. I’ve only ever tried the sesame chicken for the kitchen entree but that was delicious too.“
“We hit up Phoshime, primarily to have some warm, filling food after a long cold day in the city. Phoshime had good reviews so we decided to give it a try. The ambience was okay, it wasn't very busy for seated dining. The servers were extremely friendly, attentive and polite. Our food came out quickly and was flavorful and delicious. My only complaint was that I had 3 pork bones in my noodles, 2+ inches long! I can see how this happens once, but finding 3 was excessive. I mean... you could break a tooth or choke or something if you weren't careful! Despite the bones-in-the-noodles issue the overall experience was positive and there was a lot of food for the price.“
“Went to Thai at Lex with a friend and ordered chicken pad Thai with a side order of spring rolls and thai iced tea. We had a pleasant server and enjoyed the atmosphere. The place had good traffic in the take out section and that gave me a sense that people like the food. I would definitely go again when I'm in the area.“
“The attentive staff and friendly owner set this restaurant apart from others of its kind by making me feel at home. I've enjoyed several of their chicken dishes and the vegetables are cooked nicely. If you're there at the right time you can get fresh homemade shrimp chips or a jelly dessert! Students from nearby high schools dine in as well. Would recommend a visit if you're in the area.“
“It was a little tight seating wise but also one of the only places in the area I could find with seating. The price to seating size was almost perfect and it was some of th3 best fried rice I've ever had. The dumplings I stole off my partners plate were good too :^)They have self order kiosks so if you wanted to you would t if had to talk to anyone. It was fantastic and a great place to chill out at the end of a long day of walking“
“The district pho (with bone broth) was super flavorful and left me thinking about it for a week. So, a week later I ordered from here again only to try the standard pho. It was great and the brisket was heavenly, but I can tell the difference bone broth makes. The Thai tea was also very good! I will be ordering again!“
“Ban Ban Shop is a very cute fusion restaurant that opened across from Columbia University that serves a banh mi, baos, rice bowls, maki rolls, and grain bowls. 3.5 stars: I was very excited to try the banh mi here, but was lowkey disappointed. I ordered the Five Spice Roasted Pork Banh Mi. Don't get me wrong, the pork is very well seasoned/marinated and tender. Unfortunately, the baguette here is too soft, and the oil from the pork does seep through. The key to a good banh mi is the baguette - light on the inside with a thin and crispy crust. You'll know the baguette is good when the roof of your mouth gets destroyed by the time you finish it.“
“The owner is super professional and nice to people, all their dishes are authentic from northeast to southwest China. The restaurant decorated warm and beautiful, makes you feel at home dinning room. If you are a MU fan then would get a surprise gift.“
