“Had delivery a few times before and came tonight to eat in person with my wife and we loved it. It is a very tiny space but very nice. We split the stir fried bok Choi and the fried chicken mini dumplings. They were both good but the dumplings were especially great. She got chicken with broccoli and I got Mala chicken; both were also great. Finally, they gave us a free cucumber salad which was actually the best thing we had!

The staff were not very talkative but very nice!

I will definitely go back! No question.“

“Popeyes was formed in Arabi, Louisiana, a suburb of New Orleans, Louisiana, in St. Bernard Parish. It first opened its doors on June 12, 1972, as "Chicken on the Run". Owner Al Copeland (1944–2008) wanted to compete with Kentucky Fried Chicken, but his restaurant failed after several months. Copeland reopened the restaurant four days later as Popeyes Mighty Good Chicken. By 1975, the company had been renamed as Popeyes Famous Fried Chicken. Copeland started franchising his restaurant in 1976, beginning in Louisiana. The chain expanded to Canada in 1984, and opened its 500th restaurant in 1985. B. P. Newman of Laredo, Texas, acquired several franchises in Texas and surrounding states. Two hundred additional locations were added during a period of slower expansion.By 1990, Copeland Enterprises was in default on $391 million in debts it had taken on in its 1989 purchase of Church's, a rival fast food chain also focusing in fried chicken, and by April 1991, the company filed for bankruptcy protection. In October 1992, the court approved a plan by a group of Copeland's creditors that resulted in the creation of America's Favorite Chicken Company, Inc. (AFC) to serve as the new parent company for Popeyes and Church's.[14] AFC went public in 2001 with initial public offering (IPO) of $142,818,479.[15] On December 29, 2004, AFC sold Church's to Arcapita (formerly Crescent Capital Investments) retaining Popeyes.[citation needed]On August 8, 2000, Popeyes announced a franchise development plan/agreement that included 35 new restaurant locations around Australia in a bid to solidify their presence within the Asia Pacific region. All were to be located in Sydney, the capital city of New South Wales.On June 17, 2014, Popeyes announced it had re-acquired full control of its seasonings, recipes, and other proprietary food preparation techniques from Diversified Foods & Seasonings, which remained under the control of Al Copeland and his estate after the creditor sale of Popeyes to AFC. Popeyes had continued to license the seasonings, recipes, and techniques from DF&S for a yearly 'spice royalty', before buying them outright for $43 million. DF&S remains the main supplier for Popeyes until at least 2029.“

“One of New York’s hidden secrets. Not to be missed.“

“This establishment is everything! From the time I entered the service was impeccable. I had the seared Bass w/Copolini and the Crab Spring Rolls. 5 stars, a must when in NYC.“

“Food and drinks were absolutely delicious and the staff was lovely! So patient and attentive, would definitely go back again.“

“This is a real gem of place. The food and wine is perfect. A beautiful and unique menu. Staff are friendly and efficient. Gorgeous venue, loved the rock music. Highly recommend.“

“Despite the cool atmosphere, good vibe, and enjoyable drinks, our experience was hindered by inattentive service. We waited at the bar for quite some time, trying to catch the eye of two different waiters, but were largely ignored. It was disappointing, especially given that they were pretty much right in front of us, backs turned, walking by and seemed to be doing everything possible to actually serve customers.

The shrimp were not very good given the price. The tuna tartar was excellent.“

“Excellent cocktails, excellent service, and excellent atmosphere! 10/10“

“Moono is an absolute gem! The galbi jjim is unforgettable—perfectly tender, fall-off-the-bone beef braised in this rich, savory sauce that’s both comforting and packed with flavor. It’s seriously one of the best versions I’ve ever had. And then there’s the Pyongyang cold noodles, which are refreshing, delicate, and incredibly well-balanced. The cold broth is light yet flavorful, and the noodles have just the right chew. If you’re craving authentic Korean flavors with a sophisticated twist, Moono should be at the top of your list. This place truly celebrates Korean cuisine, and I couldn’t recommend it enough!“

“Excellent and comfortable affordable“

“Super unique meal! We love love loved the food here and really enjoyed everything we ate. One star down because another patron was clearly over-served and was being rowdy and loud, but was still getting drinks and none of the staff asked her to be quiet. When I’m spending this kind of money, I would have liked the overall atmosphere to be a little less like a frat party.

But back to the food - we hadn’t heard of many things on the menu but we were feeling adventurous and so glad we did! This is your sign to try things without googling them. Just trust this chef - they know what they are doing. Our favorites were the whipped mackerel and lobster tostadas. Both were so fresh and clean and light (but still filling). Good portion sizes for tapas style. Beautiful plating. Really fun and unique meal!

Wheelchair accessibility: Small spot with all high-top tables. Not wheelchair accessible.“

“exelente comida y ambiente, muy recomendado.“

“Amazing Dining Experience, Delicious Food, Private space with lovely Staff!!!“

“Kann ich nur empfehlen, in Service, Preis und Geschmack nahezu unschlagbar! Seiten so gut in NYC gegessen, sei es Seafood oder auch Anderes. Bei uns waren es: Appetizer: Spanish Octopus Entrée: Bone-In NY Strip Dessert: NY Cheesecake P.s.: Es gibt auch vegetarische Gerichte.“

“Atmosphere, amazing! Food, top! Jeffrey, BRAVISSIMO!“

“The autumn salad was amazing!!“

“"Outstanding food and presentation. The service was fantastic, especially from the hostess“

“Highly recommended. Very good food.“

“Highly recommended. Very good food.“

“Most amazing seafood. Go for happy hour. Get all the oysters. The lobster pasta made my husband weak in the knees. He won't stop talking about the olive brine Bloody Mary. THE BEST.“

“We ordered 2 shrimp burgers, cocktails, tartare and bread and butter. The cocktails are great! The quality is very good. The shrimp burgers aren't bad either. Not exactly wow, but good enough. But for an aperitif, the bread and butter should be improved a little... the bread should be a soft white baguette, crispy, and the butter should have pieces of salt. Instead, gray bread with barely salted butter. If this point had been changed, the rating would have been 5. But despite this, the dinner was good! We will definitely come back again ♥️“

“The flavors were great and will be back next time. Any food lovers out there?“

“Grilled Branzino, Mushroom Pad Cha, Seafood sous Padang, Crying Tiger, Tom Yum fried rice

All absolutely delicious, each authentic and rich in flavor, literally could not put my utensils down; the depth and variety of flavor between each dish was immaculately prepared“

“Beautifully prepared delicious food!!“

“I've had the privilege to dine in many amazing restaurants around the globe and even privately in the kitchen of some famous chefs. I can say with absolute authority that this was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Absolutely amazing from first bite to last! Make sure to opt-in for the savory beignet as well. It was superlative. I'll be envious of anyone getting to dine here until I have a chance to come back again!“

“I had a wonderful time, the food was delicious, strong drinks. Plenty of food, beautiful restaurant. Definitely worth it. Plus we got a little loud and they were fine with it. Didn’t feel threatened lol“

“Loved this place, coming back to NYC just for this restaurant!“

“Had always heard great things and I can confirm that they hold up. They have some outdoor seating so we took advantage of that. Ordered the Sabry’s Combo (shrimp, calamari and salmon) which came with salad, bread and rice. Also got the mixed Tajine (shrimp and calamari) which was incredible. Definitely be sure to save your bread to dip on the Tajine. While we were waiting for our food, the owner popped his head out to say that they had a special soup that day so we decided to try it. It was Molokhia or green soup which had shrimp in it. Everything was delicious and I’ll definitely be coming back“

“We lived in nyc for 30 years. Recently moved to DE. God only knows how much we miss the nyc culture. Nothing holds a candle to it. Thank you Aaron for such a delightful lunch today at your restaurant. Best Manhattan I’ve had in a long long time! You were so attentive and accommodating. Service the best! Thank the kitchen for the great food also! Will be back soon with our nephew and his spouse!“

“Some of the best seafood in the city comes from the PdF kitchen and everything else, especially the desserts, are great as well. The price lends itself to a special occasion but it’s worth stopping by even to just enjoy some great cocktails, the strong Spanish-focused wine program, or some exciting after dinner drinks. One of my favorite spots in NYC.“

“Amazing service and oysters!!“

“amazing authentic chinese food“

“excellent, sat at bar, impressive food, look forward to returning“

“Great food and drinks! A big pricey, but worth it!“

“I’ve eaten here twice and even spilled a strawberry margarita & it was replaced. The staff is great the food is awesomely delicious and Jake & Gray made both visits so worth while. Thank you both! And thank you Burgers & Lobster!! 😊“

“Ilis was highly recommended to us by a friend who is a chef, after we asked about suggestions on restaurants in New York that truly push boundaries. It did not disappoint. While we are quite familiar with the concept of radical local sourcing and seasonal cooking organised by colder and warmer days, (yes, days not months), Ilis still managed to surprise us. We opted for the market menu, which is tailored to the ingredients available on that very day, and were treated to an additional dish. Each course was impeccably well prepared and presented effortlessly, and fun! The natural taste of the ingredients was allowed to shine, offering the rare opportunity to unspoil your palate and rediscover how herbs, vegetables, and meat/fish taste on their own, when not suffocated in fat, sugar, and spices. This, we believe, is the key to the success of Ilis and its chef Mads Refslund: being able to keep the dishes almost naked while never loosing the culinary direction. An absolute standout was the extra dish: raw tuna scraped from the dorsal fin spine, followed by the other side grilled with sesame. It was nothing short of a feast! Another memorable feature is Ilis' book of ingredients, which you can browse through between courses. It offers insight into their sourcing, philosophy, food preferences, and quirks (giggle). Lastly, the open kitchen is from another orbit, with its wood-fired charcoal oven, open barbecues, and dedicated adjacent fish and meat smoking stations. We could rave on and on about it. Very special place, which easily deserves six stars.“

“We ordered the corn fritters and lunch entres. We got appetizers from ordering the lunch menu, and got vegetable soup and spring rolls. Everything was very yummy, the corn fritters are crispy and delicious. The pad thai, pad see ew was good. Thank you!! Will come back again“

“Fabulous dinner with family. It was a beautiful restaurant with great food and staff. It was quite busy so it was by no means quiet but it was still A very pleasant experience. Would Highly recommend for a great steak or their chicken parmigiana was also amazing.“

“We loved the restaurant, all the staff were very friendly, they helped us choose the best from their menu, the food is delicious, pleasant atmosphere, the best option we made to start our first day in NY. (It's Halloween, they gave our baby candy and a teddy bear).“

“Loved this place!!! Highly recommended!!!!“

“Best Latin fusion joint in South Brooklyn“

“Memorable meal! Went with a larger group so ordered almost everything on the menu. Every dish was really good, a few were truly incredible (the chicken was up there with the best I've ever had). Good vibes & service. Spacious. With drinks expect $200 person, but we were all stuffed. Highly recommend!“
