“small noodle shop near Harlem as a gluten free eater getting something satisfying and seasoned well without sacrificing quality can be tough. This place is a go to. They're fast, and my go to rice noodle pork combo tends to last me two meals for the price it costs. Can't advocate enough.

Dietary restrictions: gluten free“

“Cosy atmosphere, great food and friendly people.“

“Oxtails, j*** wings, Rasta pasta es muy bueno. Cabbage, collards, rice and peas are great compliments to the mains..Prices are extremely reasonable and staff makes everyone feel welcome“

“Phenomenal. I can’t get over how sweet the lady who attended us was. This is the first restaurant I’ve been to where i felt as if the food was truly made with love. The food itself was absolutely delicious, and the price was very reasonable. My friend and I ordered the fried chicken, tteokbokki, and bulgogi kimbap. The portions were perfect, we finished ALL of it (and licked our fingers clean). Their plates are also so cute if I may add. I will definitely bring all of my friends here when they visit Teaneck.“

“We were recommended this place by my wife's cousin she said the stew peas were A class. She was right, according to my wife, it's the best she's had in a long while from a restaurant. I had the sweet and spicy wings that were seasoned and cooked very well. Food was not salty and was very fresh.
Ps we also had Patties, veg, and beef, and they were great, but I think they are golden crust patties, so that's to be expected.“

“I am vegetarian and love to get the scallion and ginger stir fry with seitan. You can order it light/med/high spice level to your preference. The noodles are so tasty and you can really tell they are fresh. The mango tea is an awesome lightly sweetened beverage addition to balance the spice of the noodles.“

“Super nice place to hang out with friends and family, gretel o point with service 24/7 , food and drinks 100% the best“

“This is a great “hole in the wall” bar. These folks provide great service and the food is exceptional!

Wheelchair accessibility: The access to the restroom is down a flight of stairs, but I observed a sign at the top of the stairwell highlighting the effort to be made by the staff to see all peoples of all abilities can be assisted to the restroom.“

“Foods and drinks are delish😋 Great ambiance and service!“

“My friends and I went to the restaurant on a Wednesday rainy day I had the cinnamon raisin french toast with chicken and the fried shrimp it was very good the french toast is amazing. We also had the bottom less mimosas when I tell you they never let the glass hit the bottom. The service was excellent very positive and comfortable environment we sat for a while. we ate talked and danced and the staff continued to accommodate us beyond our reservation time limit. I will definitely visit Chocolat' again when in New York“

“Wow! After looking at many places on Columbus that just didn’t thrill us, we were SO happy to find the incredibly delicious Mexican cuisine at Nina’s last night I had the Cochinita Pibil (with an orange habanero salsa on the side that will let you know who’s boss…) and my old friend had Enchiladas Mole with chicken. Excellent and authentic food with warm, friendly staff, and a great bar selection with many tequilas. Nina’s is great! Reasonable too! Glad to give credit where it’s due to this 7mo old establishment that I hope stays for many years! Will return for more!“

“Came on a Friday evening. The food and service were good. The DJ was spinning good R&B. The restaurant is small and a little unorganized when it comes to waiting for a table. I get that it's a neighborhood spot, and everyone knows each other, but if it's a restaurant, treat it like one. If it's a lounge, change it to a lounge and not a restaurant.“

“Friendly staff and delicious food. It’s a great place to sit for a bit and enjoy your meal (and there’s nyc wifi if you’re working!): there’s enough seating with tables for you to work, and the atmosphere is boosted by the throwback jams. If you do plan to sit for a bit note that the aircon makes it quite chilly“

“Good food, good prices and very friendly staff“

“The food is locally sourced daily. They offer 4/5 delicious entrees with delectable sides. Service was warm & attentive. Can't wait to return!!!“

“Great food very friendly staff.“

“The food here is very good. I personally like their "Ropa Vieja" dish. They make it excellent!“

“Really friendly place with gluten free options including cauliflower pizza and gluten free buns. Very good egg and cheese breakfast sandwich with turkey bacon. Sweet potato fries were fresh cut and out of this world.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options“

“Very nice place, our waitress was super friendly with cute Irish accent. The menu does not have many Irish items but we could find two (Shepherd's pie and Irish breakfast) that tasted very good. We were there on Sunday late afternoon and we enjoyed lovely Irish live music. Very nice experience, would definitely come back if in area!“

“We visited a few times last week from the UK. Great breakfasts and really friendly service . Will visit again when we come back hopefully in the near future 👍“

“Amazing food, loved the ambience in their small yet cozy beautiful interior. Papaya salad ftw!

Portion sizes:
found portion sizes were appropriate and justified for the price for entree, however could’ve gone a bit more, ~25-30% for salad and calamari!
But remember you’re in the upper west side, other restaurants might disappoint you even further on portion sizes lol!?“

“I couldn’t believe how great the food was. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. In addition the atmosphere was wonderful and our server Andrew In Hackensack NJ was such a delight. He totally paid attention to my nut allergy and had the manager bring my meal out to ensure it was nut free. We are definitely going back! 😃“

“I go to this lovely spot many times a year! This is my favorite restaurant to have a bite. I go there routinely. The food is excellent, the team is professional and the charge is reasonable. I like being in this restaurant to have a nice lunch.“

“Visited from the Uk with our 3 girls. My breakfast was amazing….corn beef hash 👌🏻. The girls all had something different so had to have a taste of theirs too….all were so good. Definitely recommend this lovely little place 👍🏻“

“Been looking for a good BBQ place near me for a long time. I'm so happy I found this place. Roni was really sweet and very attentive. The food was excellent! The place has been there over 25 years as a testament to how good it is.. I hope they stay open another 25..
They could update the TV and wall art. I will be going back soon and I recommend it to everyone!!! Take care of this place people.. ?“

“El Antojito in the Bronx is an absolute gem of a food truck that deserves every bit of praise and those 5 shiny stars! From the moment I approached the vibrant truck, I could sense I was in for a culinary treat.The menu is a delightful blend of authentic flavors and innovative twists that truly sets El Antojito apart. The first thing that caught my eye was the diverse range of options, catering to different tastes and preferences. Whether you're a meat lover or a vegetarian, there's something to satisfy every craving.The tacos are a revelation – each bite bursting with freshness and a symphony of well-balanced spices. The meats are tender, and the tortillas are perfectly grilled, providing that ideal crunch. The salsa options are a flavor explosion, offering a spectrum of heat levels to suit every palate.One standout feature of El Antojito is their commitment to using high-quality, fresh ingredients. It's evident that the chef takes pride in crafting each dish with care and attention to detail. The portions are generous, ensuring you get great value for your money.The service is friendly and efficient, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. The staff is knowledgeable about the menu and is more than willing to make recommendations based on your preferences.Whether you're a local or just passing through the Bronx, El Antojito is a must-try. It's not just a food truck; it's a culinary journey that transports you to the heart of authentic, mouthwatering Mexican flavors. I can't recommend El Antojito enough – it's a 5-star experience that will leave you craving more!“

“I ran in to grab a quick lunch and didn’t realize I didn’t have enough money or my atm card. They graciously offered to give me the drink anyway and get them the next time. Great customer service!“

“(Translated by Google) Excellent Guatemalan food, they give good service and the place is clean, and the price is very accessible.(Original)Excelente comida guatemalteca, dan un buen servicio y el lugar es limpio, y el precio es muy accesible.“

“I’m something of a BBQ critic having grown up in the South and lived there for 40 or so years and I’ve had some bad pork experiences in NYC. So much so that I’ve told my friends, “NYC does every type of cuisine well EXCEPT BBQ” I respectfully retract that statement after having AU Jus’ SUPERB pulled pork sandwich this evening. I’m going to have to join a 12 step program to stop myself from eating it every day. So good it’ll make your tongue slap your brains out.“

“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"!!!“

“Burger was good, onion rings and Fries are great. Milkshake kind of felt like ice cream in a cup, maybe just unlucky occurrence for me

However, the red velvet cake I got was awful, not stale but very hard and dry. I went at the end of the day so that could have been it, YMMV.

I love the vibe of the workers and restaurant though.“

“They have good food, but I don’t speak spanish…so it’s usually very difficult for me to order. I usually get scared of coming in here due to the language barrier (sometimes there’s a customer that will help translate). I like to get white rice with this slow roasted chicken with sauce, beans, potatoes, and carrots. It’s about $10. The super old grandma is really mean - stay away from her. She won’t put it all in one tray, so she can upsell/upcharge you for each item as a small (a la carte).“
