“Celebrated a birthday last week and sat outside in the private booths and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food and service!! The booths had heating and allowed our party of 6 to have a private but joyful experience!! Would highly recommend!“
“Nestled in the lively West Side, Obao is like that cool friend who knows all the culinary secrets. The beef pho? It's like a flavor explosion, but I could've gone for an extra sprinkle of bean sprouts for that extra crunch. And don't get me started on the Thai tea—it's like a sweet nostalgia trip, just a heads-up, ask for less milk if you're not big on the sweetness.My friend went for the udon noodles with shrimp, and man, it was like a savory punch in the taste buds, a bit like when two pop culture icons collided in that viral meme.To top it off, Obao surprised us with two cocktails as a thank-you for our review. They were like little works of art, not just in taste but in presentation too. Obao isn't just about food; it's about creating experiences that make you want to come back for more.“
“Delicious food, very friendly and lovely staff. Beautifully decorated shop If you come during the day, you can take photos in a warm corner. But if you come in the evening, the photography angle will look different and beautiful in another way.“
“My family stopped in for dinner on a gloomy evening. The owner warmly greeted us after a short wait and was very attentive through out our time. We ordered a Bul Dak bowl, Sunny Avo, and Kimchi Jae Yuk bowl. Everything was very tasty and the portions were so large. We tried our best but couldn’t finish, we were stuffed. The owner was very nice, even giving our daughter a choice of handmade trinket made by his children. It was our last day in NYC but would recommend Bulbap Grill to anyone in the area.“
“Hand rolls here are pretty good! Portions are small but I definitely recommend giving it a try here! My favorite handrolls were the spicy tuna and the avocado salmon. The seared prime beef and the A5 Wagyu were also to die for! Every bite melts in your mouth! The spicy tuna crispy rice was ok. The rice was not crispy enough. There was 4 pieces for $12. The salmon carpaccio was really good! Love the citrus sauce that came with this dish. There was 5 slices of salmon for $16. So it was a bit overpriced. Veggie udon was really good and flavorful! Really hit the spot on a cold rainy day! Parking is a bit difficult but that's the norm in Fort Lee. Overall, fish was pretty fresh but overpriced for the portions.“
“This place was so cozy and lovely, with such tasty food and delightful service! It was so kind of the owner to give us so many free samples with our food! We ordered the (very well priced) sushi combos, which were two special rolls with miso soup (and I got a boba and some kani salad) and it was delicious. The owner also gave us a pot of green tea, veggie gyoza, the house salad, and some blueberries at the end. She came over often to ask how we were doing. We ended up with leftovers because there was so much food. It was also a very cute atmosphere with doodles from the customers all over the walls. I would definitely come back!Vegetarian options: There seemed to be at least one vegetarian option in all the sections.Parking: It was relatively quiet when we went so the lot might fill up if there are more customers but I had no problems.Kid-friendliness: There were markers, notepads and a sheet to doodle on, if any customers came with kids. I didn’t but I doodled anyway lol.“
“It's a cozy, atmospheric place. The service is great and pleasant. Very welcoming vibe and cozy place to sit and enjoy. Staffs are polite and doesn't feel rushed like other places. Thai food is always a healthy and great selection of bubble tea.Kid-friendliness: Ambiance is playful with comfortable lighting and seating.“

“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.“

“Had absolutely great evening in here — the atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious foods you see on the pictures were all SO GOOD! It was also great to meet the fellow Russian speaking person by the name Ayta (or Aita, unsure of the spelling) who gladly took our reservation, check in our jackets and took us to our table! Highly recommend this place!“
“Good music, good vibes...the bulgogi meat is tender and flavorful...ingredients were all fresh...kale fried dumplings were tasty and loved the dipping sauce...there is seating to eat however there were many take out orders...not meant to dine in for a long period of “
“What a blast! The food, the atmosphere, the service and wow the drinks! We were killing time to head back home and met up with family that were already there. The fried shrimp dumplings was so good! And the wings!? Wow! The drinks by far were the highlight of the night. Were definitely going back with some time to chill.“
“The food here is out of this world. Everything is so fresh, tasty, colorful, and delicious. The two sisters who run the place are very kind and again, love the food. Outside of Thailand, this is the best Thai food I've ever had in NYC!“
“. Their menus are often based on local and seasonal ingredients, creating mouth-watering dishes with simplicity and precision. Their food usually focuses on the freshness and quality of the ingredients, as well as the balance and creativity of the flavours.“
“A cute mom-and-pop roll house located in the main downtown area of Ridgefield Park. It is a true hidden gem for takeout and delivery! The owners here are very friendly and welcoming, offering heartfelt hospitality with every visit. With various roll options to choose from (my favorite/recommendation is Chloe roll, Volcano roll, Fire Fight roll, Dragon roll), they offer convenient service, and amazingly tasty beverages such as bubble tea & iced tea to enjoy with the food. Highly recommended for anyone looking to grab a quick bite or enjoy a fancy dinner :)“
“Held a private event there (my 1st visit) and it was amazing thanks to Susannah, Jo & Dani and the rest of the staff for their professionalism, delicious menu, cool vibes, and outstanding service. Looking forward to sharing more great times at Bixi’s❤️“
“Absolutely delicious and authentic Chinese food. I was invited to this restaurant by my Chinese boss and he ordered most of the food. I was blown away by just about everything we ordered as I have never heard of most of these dishes. They were all amazing, with the exception of stinky tofu. If you’ve never had it before, you probably shouldn’t risk it as it’s a definite acquired taste. I will be back here to explore more dishes“
“The food was honestly so delicious. And I really loved how they decorated the place. It's very relaxing just being there. I would suggest having a cup of your favorite beverage after lunch and just recharge yourself for a while.The staff and owner are so friendly and helpful too, You'll definitely have a wonderful time.“
“Very small mom and shop place for dumplings, ramen, fried rice etc .Restaurant is pretty small just to fit around 15- 20 ppl. We were a group of 6 with a kid and they helped us find a table and make arrangements.Food - Vegetarian Dumplings and Buns are super tasty and definitely must try. Ramen was OK ..not bad.Dessert - Frankly, I didn't enjoy the dessert as it was overly sweet and too much cream cheese filling. Many people were ordering it thoughService - it's good. kitchen closes pretty early by 8 20 so make sure you place your order before that.I will definitely come back here to eat dumplings and buns!!Vegetarian options: There are few veg optionsParking: Street parking“
“I'm just writing this review after reheating my leftover K-Town Ramen broth with some of my own noodles, cheese and scallions and wow. The broth is so flavorful!!! The food was delicious when we visited for lunch recently and I'm so glad I saved the broth for a second meal. We will be back soon!“
“Alright, now ! If you’re looking to have a decent fast food healthy meal … field trip is your spot. I’ll keep it super real and admit the rice may not be cooked to everyone’s standards but I personally enjoy the black rice with the veggies that comes with the salmon bowl. Flavor wise the shrimp bowl is my favorite with coconut curry sauce and chili peppers ??, the salmon bowl and the braised beef are really filling too.Now what steals the show each and every time for me is the CRAB POCKETS Made with blue crab, garlic and herb cream cheese, ginger and scallion … amazing !“
“Delicious food at a great price. Quick and easy meal to grab for lunch, without having to wait long at all. Been around here for 5 years and Its been my favorite spot that I go to for lunch at least once or twice a week. Definitely add the chipotle mayo, its a game changer.“
“Danny’s always a pleasure! We have had him serve us a multitude of times and he’s always so nice and helpful. Love gyukaku and he also helped us to get the rewards app!Dietary restrictions: They always ask about your dietary restrictions and accommodate.“
“This place is WONDERFUL. I came here with my son after spending the afternoon at Urban Air Adventure Park. We got two half box orders of boneless thighs (original crispy and soy garlic/sweet & spicy), fries, and water. The chicken took about 15-20 minutes to cook, but it was well worth the wait. My son (the pickiest eater in the world) LOVED the boneless thighs, and even the French fries. I thought everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The flavors were all fantastic, with the soy garlic being my favorite. The fries were also some of the best fries I've ever had. Super crispy on the outside but fluffy on the inside. The food also came with Cole slaw which was DELICIOUS, and I say this as someone who normally strays away from Cole slaw.Customer service was excellent. The woman at the front was very friendly and clear with describing the food. Their presentation was top notch also. The food was packaged beautifully and even the bag it came in was just really well designed. It was like opening a holiday gift of delicious food. I would highly recommend paying this place a visit, although you'll probably have to do take out since they have limited seating. That's probably the only downside I can think of, but they still deserve 5 stars overall“
“Bobby Wongs is a welcome addition to the Hawthorne food scene. With a great niche- this soulfully Asian spot is a go to for real and quality stuff! Having them downtown is dangerous only bc I live so close! The chicken original with wok’d rice is a perfect balance of heat and savory. The beef buns ( really all the buns) are a can’t miss- any specials they have are definitely worth a try!“
“We are local but never stopped in before. My wife and I, one daughter and her fiance came in during the week between Christmas and New Years. No one was sitting down but it was a little early and there was a lot of take out order activity the entire time we were there.Three of us ordered a total of 8 different rolls and some rice/noodles for my wife . I has the Crunchy Tempura Shrimp roll and the Cream Cheese roll with crab and I would order both again. Everyone enjoyed their selections and other then the noodles and rice, our plates were clean. My wife took what remained for her noodles and rice home as leftovers. We also ordered the Thai Donut to share for desert, based on other reviewers suggestions, and it was really good.Towards the end of our meal, another 2 groups came in and sat down so we weren't the only ones sitting down to eat. We will come back for sure to get items we liked and try out some others.“
“Delicious food and a pleasant atmosphere. The serving staff is very courteous. Alexandra was our waitress and she did exceptionally well! Very attentive and super fast service. Thank you!!! ???Delicious food and a pleasant atmosphere. The service staff is very courteous. Alexandra was our waitress and she did exceptionally well.

“Absolutely wonderful but understated sushi spot on the upper East side. Always super fresh ingredients with a quiet but kind staff. Atmosphere is relaxing, and spa like. I recommend always getting a pot of tea, which is lovely floral with an air of jasmine. Great place 5 star quality at 3 star prices.Wheelchair accessibility: Wide paths allow easy access for wheel chairs, no steps.“
“Love this place! Went for the first time with a friend and we were both very happy. It's a nice ambiance, the staff is lovely, and the food is delicious! I got the duck pho and it was fantastic; the veggie broth was very flavorful.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and vegan options are marked on their menu, which is appreciated.“
“When I tell you I loved this place! Just wow! The food is absolutely fresh like a better flor de mayo. I’m sorry not sorry..the chicken was just so good, fluffy and airy. They have some of the best fried dumplings, same texture as the chicken. It’s like fried but baked at the same time lol so so good! The drinks were nice and balanced also, I really enjoyed my mealI would definitely come here again, the onlyyyyy thing thing is parking ! Finding parking is such a drag in this area. Either take the train or take your chancesKid-friendliness: It’s a family oriented restaurant suitable for children“
“Nothing short of incredible! This is the best Pecking duck in Manhattan, maybe in the world. We come for the food and stay for the service - the service team is incredible and the management team is our favorite in NYC! They always go above and beyond to make us feel like family :)“
“i wish I could give this restaurant 10 STARS! i treated myself to sushi for dinner and GrubHub lost the order twice (the initial order and the REPLACEMENT order too). Ninja Sushi called to discuss my experience and when I mentioned it was my birthday they INSISTED on personally delivering the order themselves at no charge. i am floored by their customer service and kindness. the food was great as well. definitely a new FAVORITE of mine!“
“Saw the spot on seamless forever, was walking by a decided to drop in for a meal. The place is clean with interesting decoration, old photographs adorn the walls. Server was friendly and quick. The steam dumplings were large but bland, needs seasoning in the filling, dipping sauce only helped a little. Beef chili noodle soup was flavorful, tender beef, peppers and noodle in a delicious light broth.“
“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.“
“I don’t usually write food reviews but Wow to this restaurant!! My most favorite Thai restaurant in the UWS or even NYC. As a Thai person living in NYC i can say everything I ordered from here are so authentic! The food so fresh and flavorful plus the service is top notch! If I could give 10 stars I would! Highly recommended this place to everyone!“
“Inside is very cute! They have bar seating or tables. Our waiter was very thorough and made great suggestions. Everything was fresh tasting and packed with flavor! We had several things from the menu including (not limited to) rock shrimp, kani salad, volcano roll. Everything was delicious!Parking: There’s a private parking lot behind the restaurant“

“Two words: soufflé pancakes. Don't leave without trying these! We got the black sesame one and it did not disappoint. The food here overall is great - we had a little bit of everything - fried rice, dumplings, udon, etc. The iced matcha latte was pretty good. There is limited seating and the place was pretty busy. I would prefer takeout from here rather than dining in but maybe except for the soufflé pancakes! Not sure those would be good via delivery. Would recommend for a quick lunch, dessert, or drinks!“
“The coffee, I must say was delicious just with cream. The grilled sea bass with spinach etc for my sister was excellent, and I had a customized smoked salmon omelette with Swiss cheese, because they didn't have chèvre. ? Porquoi? And I wish they had Salade Nicoise with anchovies or tuna for next time. All in all, for sure it was excellent. For sure, I will come again. ❤️“
“Vietnamese food is one of my favorite cuisines so I've had a lot of Viet food in my life. I've also been to Vietnam three times. So believe me when I say Saigon Bistro has really good Viet food! The grilled pork was delicious and juicy. Spring rolls were crispy and perfectly cooked. Summer rolls were also good. We also got the sweet corn pudding which we liked too. Oh service is great as well. We'll be back many times.“
“53 is a Beautiful Restaurant located right next to the Museum of Modern Art. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try if your looking for an amazing asian fusion dinning experience. The restaurant is so beautiful with two very nice wide open bars. Highly recommend the Samon Carpaccio and the Dumplings! Only complaint is the menu is very small.Kid-friendliness: Im sure it wouldn't be a prpblem but definitely a high class atmosphereWheelchair accessibility: They do have an elevator but it was out of service when I went“
“Definitely has become my normal go to for something delicious fast and affordable in this neighborhood. Their hand rolls are huge and even their poke bento boxes are affordable at 9.50. Service is always fast and it is a casual place and I would like to do what I can to support this place! If you live or work close by and want something affordable and tasty I definitely recommend.“
“This is my go to (and my son’s) all the time. My absolute favorite are the shrimp buns. My son gets the shrimp buns and the beef bulgogi is his main course. I sometime splurge and get the 3+2 garlic and soy sauce flavored wings and drumsticks. What I love is both freshness, taste and consistency. It’s a husband and wife small business so also love being able to help our local economy. It sure helps they’re so pleasant. Their prices and portions are above average compared to similar businesses. Definitely recommend. I wish they had longer hours!!!“
“The service was wonderful and quick. The staff is very friendly and accommodates your dining needs. The food is outstanding as well as the wide array of alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks. Everything was awesome. I will return and recommend to all of my family and friends.“
“(4.5 stars) Extremely attentive service, quiet and relaxed yet intricate ambience. The food was very reasonably priced (for NY prices) for modern Chinese cuisine. Favorite dish was probably the lychee shrimp balls in both taste and presentation. We also ordered the mushroom pancakes (it was ok) and Peking duck. The Peking duck was a bit smaller in portion than what we had expected (seems less than a half), and taste is also on the mid to lower end compared to other similar modern Chinese cuisines.“
“Went here with my brother and had an amazing time, the food was excellent, i ordered the soft shell crab and he ordered beef curry, and then we finished with a fried cheesecake ( nicely seasoned and cooked to perfection) service was sweet, wait was short, and the deco looks great. Would absolutely recommend, definitely coming back“
“Had my first bubble tea today. It was very good. Normally I get Poke bowls with ginger dressing. Just started getting tofu as one of my proteins. It is some of the best tofu I’ve had. Was there for a college interview. Without asking, they turned down the music which we appreciated.“
“Delicious ramen! Friendly and fast service. Reasonable prices. Another ramen place gave me cabbage instead of noodles since I'm Gluten free. Tori ramen offers Gluten free noodles for no extra charge! This was our first time trying and we'll be back.Dietary restrictions: Offered gluten free noodles for no extra charge!“
“Absolutely Love this Place!!! Good quality, great service, very convenient and fast, and overall has the BEST CHINESE FOOD EVER!! 100% recommend I know the owners and they are lovely! Overall friendly staff and very high quality Chinese Sushi Restaurant!Kid-friendliness: Very friendly and always glad to have me there!“
“this place was really cute and relaxed, the food was soooo good and super affordable considering how tasty and fresh everything was. very nice food presentation too, i'd definitely come again. the corn/rice pudding was so yummy and i really enjoyed how all the food was seasoned/cooked ^-“
“This is by far one of my favorite places to eat in Astoria. Everything is always fresh, the service is amazing, and they are knowledgeable about allergies. My boyfriend has a severe celiac/gluten allergy and this is the only sushi place that we trust to not give him a reaction. If you’re looking for good quality sushi, this is it!!Dietary restrictions: My boyfriend has celiac disease and is severely allergic to gluten. We let the waiters know and they communicated with the chefs to ensure there was no cross-contamination and let us know what was gluten-free/could be made gluten-free.“
“Not the best but definitely not bad. Have been ordering from here for over 4 years now, owners always courteous, prices have stayed pretty much the same, order is always accurate, portion size is decent or better. Occasionally I'm short 1 fortune cookie but other than that it's a solid place. They definitely made their business feel safe during Covid which is a big plus.“
