Soup near Lodi

“Whenever I come home to visit the folks, I always stop by here. I used to hit up Chinatown in Lodi near the BK, but the rice and friendliness kind of fell off imo.

This spot is fresh and good. I've consistently been satisfied with the freshness of the food, the variety of not just standard fare Chinese but more authentic dishes (try the red curry trust me or the thai basil), and finally the friendliness of the people. In the world of ubereats and doordash, it's sometimes nice to support local spots and chat w/ locals.

Highly recommend!“

“Delicious food! Great prices. Fast service. If you don't speak Spanish, you may have a harder time ordering, but it's worth it. If you need gluten free options, they have them, but you may not get an accurate answer if you ask about it because I don't think they get it.“

“Lobster roll is small but good for the price ($18 including tax). They didn't have the shrimp corn chowder so I tried the clam chowder. It was watery but ok, a little too much carrots for my taste. I would give the lobster roll a try, but due to the high price, I wouldn't buy it again (To be fair it's $22-24 in my home city and it didn't have as much lobster like this one). I would give a different type of soup another try though. I tried the lobster bisque - it was good! Worth a try!
Pay with cash to save 3%.“

“From all the hype and reels and videos about the place I expected a lot.

Ramen was good but a bit flat in flavors.
I ordered the combo set with added toppings but ended up getting the basic dish and only half way through the rest arrived.

The Macha desert was great.“

“I love Thai food in general and I have had a lot of it a lot of different places. This is the best chicken pad see ew I think I’ve ever had. The view of 1st Ave is super cute and they played great music so I can’t have asked for a better atmosphere and vibe. The service was lovely and fast. Presentation of the food was also a step above and the place is super clean. I’d highly recommend and I hope I come back soon too. Only complaint was $6 for a sparkling water which I didn’t realize I’d be charged for. Oh well. I’ll skip it next time.“

“You cannot beat their happy hour! Each piece of sushi is around double the size of your typical NYC piece. I also got the sushi tacos and those were fun and different from what I typically get. I also got a bottle of the cold sake. I will definitely be coming back here soon!“

“Beautiful space with delicious food. If you have never tried Hot Pot before this is a great place to share with friends or family. Jasmine and Cindy took care of us and made recommendations that we loved. It was hard to stop. Definitely be back to try some new flavors!“

“Simplemente impresionante. No pensamos que algo así pudiera existir en NY. Los sabores propuestos son increíbles. El valor no está en las paredes o mobiliario, sino en lo que llevas a tu paladar y la atención personalísima, atenta y divertida. Gracias, gracias, gracias...“

“Fresh and delicious. We loved the starters and the Beef main. Fun place.“

“Delicious soups and reasonably priced!“

“awesome food... great service.“

“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“

“No matter what you order, it is delicious. The family is always so friendly and welcoming. Prices are reasonable.“

“We went on a Wednesday evening around 6:00. We wanted a slow paced meal on our last evening after being rushed at all our other restaurants closer to the Theatres. This was perfect choice. Our waitress allowed us a pleasant stay and the food and wine were great. We had a bottle of Pinot Grigio, the 38 Salad, and shared the Short ribs, which were as good as advertised!!! The star was our waitress from the first hello....she is a rare gem in NYC...sweet, interested in you having a good experience, and efficient!!! Highly Recommend!“

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

“Amazing lobster snd crab rolls! So authentic….Makes you think you can smell the sea air!“

“Kbap & Wings in Midtown Manhattan is the perfect spot for comforting Korean food under $15. The 6-piece soy garlic or snow cheese wings are a must-try for just $12—crispy, flavorful, and satisfying. Don’t miss the chewy rice cake skewers or the hearty bulgogi kimbap. Pair it all with a refreshing Milkis, and you’ve got the perfect meal!“

“The food was delicious! My fiancé and I enjoyed every dish, the service, and the ambiance! We will be back.“

“Looking for an old-school midtown Manhattan bar with martinis, beer, and friendly staff? P.J. Carney’s Pub is the real deal. I’ve stopped in wearing professional clothes after client meetings and also in dance gear after class… either way, it’s relaxed and welcoming. So few bars in Midtown feel this easy. The wings are great, the drinks are strong, and the vibe is no-nonsense. In a city full of overpriced hype, this hidden gem near the N/W subway line stands out as one of the best neighborhood bars in Manhattan.“

“My First time there will there again“

“Amazing food, authentic- and the staff are so attentive and kind!“

“Amazing spot! The food is delicious, portions are generous, and prices are very fair. You can tell everything is made with care. The service was truly excellent, fast, friendly, and super welcoming.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for quality Vietnamese food without breaking the bank. I’ll definitely be back!“

“I Love the Glorious Juice! So refreshing and good for me!!“

“My new favorite Italian rest. in NYC !! Understated Elegance of the quintessential upper east side fancy digs coupled with fantastic service...and the food was better than all that! Will visit again for sure...maybe once again on this trio before we head back home!!!“

“I just went there for the 1st time today. Didn’t realize we had this gem so close with some friends and family. Husband and I tried a few dishes as we like to try as many as possible and every was so delicious. We will definitely be coming back soon. 🥰“

“Luke's lobster is known for the lobster dishes, as the lobster rolls but I went there looking for a clam chowder (New England style) and wasn't disappointed. Creamy and tasty. I missed a touch of bacon, but I guess this is not on the traditional recipe.
And next time I should definitely go for the lobster roll.
It's a small and cozy place. You can dine in or take away.“

“I just ordered from one of their locations and it was absolutely delicious. I will be ordering from them again.“

“First time dining and it did not disappoint! Super authentic, delicious Cuban food! The tres leche was perfection! The server was super friendly as well. We felt very welcomed as soon as we walked in! After dinner, we chatted with the owner for a few and she was the sweetest! Can’t wait to go back 🇨🇺❤️“

“They are known for making their own tofu. Their tofu soup is pretty good. They have this powder, which I think is perilla powder, that gives it a unique broth flavor. Bibimbap is good as well; the pork is marinated very well and is tender. I don't really like the service here tho. I asked which dish do you recommend, and they said everything and just walked me through the items in the menu lol. Food also takes a while to come out.“

“good food and lot's of variety to choose from“

“Been a Benjamin customer a long time. Food always good, sides well portioned. Sometimes service is bit lacking. Tonight there was a major synchronization issues between the Bar and the kitchen. Our starter drinks came out well after out appetizers were brought to the table. By which time I would have expected to be on a smooth Pinot. The timing was off the rest of the meal. My wine never came. The Benjamin been a great consistent performer for year. I hope they can fix this stuff. I will let you all know after our next visit.“

“Great food, nice services, good amenities.“

“Was so glad we stumbled on this place during our short visit. Wonderful owner and staff. Great food, service, atmosphere. Extremely kind and accommodating, even without having a reservation, during their busy time.“

“Best sandwiches and people.“

“I met a friend for breakfast and submitted two menu items for dinner.
The food tasted better than I expected, but while I was eating the soup I ordered, I felt a bit uncomfortable feeling the thin sand chewing on the rice.
I was halfway through eating it because I couldn't eat it anymore so I threw it away.
I enjoyed the dogani soup and beef stew, but while eating the soup, I felt the crunchy feeling of sand that I felt from the siraegi...
Ha... it was really bad.ㅠㅠ
I think it would be a good idea to wash the rice cooker more thoroughly.“

“Chola is easily the best Indian restaurant in all of Manhattan and Northern Jersey. My wife and I drive in bi-weekly for their awesome food and ever changing menu. The staff is incredible and friendly, we've gotten to know them all and consider them personal friends at this point. Any time we can, we take friends and family to Chola. It's is the best!“

“Amazing roll that held up to every expectation we had.“

“The food was super hot (temperature wise) and well seasoned, spice levels on point (but can request + - spice) The prices are really reasonable when picking up. Definitely recommend. Super nice service and quick food. We should be patronizing restaurants like these, independently owned by hard working people. Will definitely add this to my list of regular places to eat at/takeout.“

“One of my go to’s in the city since ‘06. This isn’t your modern day scene, rather old world NYC meets Italy. Never disappoints. And the staff 💯!!!“

“I work nearby and often stop in for takeaway lunch, and it's consistently great. The food is fresh and flavorful, with a lot of variety and for a great price. The place is always clean and well maintained, and the staff are warm and welcoming.“

“the restaurant says (poster outside) it accepts EBT card and also when we asked the staffs they said the same too. but when we ordered the food the staff said they dont accept EBT card, they only accept cash. Liar“

“The sushi at this restaurant is always fresh, and the rolls are creative and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is modern, though it can get a bit loud during peak hours. I always leave satisfied with the quality of the food and service here.“

“Fish banh mi is the best fish sandwich I’ve ever had in my life. The fish is SUPER fresh and tender/flakey, the fish fillet breading is not too thick, the fresh made house baguette is soft (not stale at all), the pickled carrots also tasted fresh and not like they’ve been sitting around like other banh mi spots. Love they have a wide delivery radius and go downtown. The fried chicken banh mi is flavorful too but spicy.“

“As authentic and hole in the wall as it gets, and as tasty as it gets. My friend took me here twice, once in 2018 and once in 2023, and I am so happy to have witnessed this establishment survive through the pandemic because it absolutely deserves it. The place barely had spaces so we had to wait until someone left, but luckily people would be in and out anyway, just like they would back in China. Once again, the vibes were screaming China in all manners not only from the store, but also from the customers.

Every dish I have had was a hit. The chicken with chili sauce had very authentic chili sauce and lots of pieces of chicken and was just amazing. I don't really have any words to describe it because it was just authentically good, if that makes sense. The noodles were great as well with a lot of flavor, and tasted just like what I would have when I was in China. Again, I don't know how else to describe how good it was. One really needs to try it to know what I mean.

With so many restaurants in New York, I may still choose to come back here because it's economical and has quality food, both of which probably factors allowing this establishment to survive through the pandemic. Highly recommend!“

“Small place for takeout. Was craving bahn mi and got bbq pork. Pork was really tasty. would get without mayo next time given fatty pork. Pickled carrots were not very or at all pickled (which the sandwich really needed). I’ve had a lot of banh mis and can’t tell you what is authentic or not but not my favorite type of bread. It’s like an old school French bread. Yes there is a crust but it’s not crusty. So no real crunch from crust, more chewy. Not my favorite style. Not sure about trying other things. Could not find the words “nước chấm” anywhere…“

“Excellent Food and service. Top Notch!!!!!“

“Food is amazing... there is never a long wait and the food comes out extremely quick“

“We were in the area and wanted some Chinese food, so we looked around the area and saw that this was one of the higher-rated places. I also noticed that they only take cash and do phone orders. We called on the phone, placed our order, then made our way over. We paid in cash and got the food. I ordered the boneless spare ribs combination platter, which comes with a roast pork egg roll and roast pork fried rice. We also got a small wonton soup. The boneless spare ribs were really good, striking a good balance between the sweet and savory that boneless spare ribs typically have. The roast pork egg roll was delicious and savory. Everything else, though, was not as good. The roast pork fried rice was pretty bland, as were the wontons and the broth that the wontons came with. For the price, though, it was reasonable, so I am not too upset.“

“We’ve been here in 2021 and made the long trip back to New York just to savor that incredible mac&cheese again.
It’s so great to see how much this place has grown.
The cheese is absolutely divine, the service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is just perfect.
I highly recommend it! ????“

“The kitchen creates magic while the staff creates comfort. The team delivered reliable quality throughout our visit. I frequent this place more than any other. The food has that straight-from-market taste. I'll dine at this place again.“
