“Very clean environment..great service..food was delicious”

“I didn't know, is there a legit 'bagel club?' Found this spot via google maps and thought to give it a try while waiting for my nearby coffee shop to open. Today, before 8am the place was quiet. Only one other customer, who was engaged in a conversation with the guy behind the counter. The shop is spacious and the fact that it wasnt busy and the food items for sale were very spread out, made the place seem very big, too big for the amount of business seen and lack of table seating. It was clean though. Customer service was ok. Straight forward.
I went with the sunflower seed (flat) bagel. Not a usual bagel flavor of other bagel shops. It is actually very good. A lot of seeds. If you like sunflower seeds, go for it. I guess it is flat to accomodate all the seeds.
I also grabbed two pumperknickel and one everything toasted with cream cheese.
The everything wasnt toasted enough for my liking. There was a decent amount of creme cheese.
Overall the vibe was off, very quiet for a weekday morning. Maybe they are more of a mid-day lunch spot. They had everything a bagel shop typically has e.g. cream cheese flavors. But not heaping amounts of each compared to City locations which anticipate much more business. While it is a decent place, i wont pick this club over others if I had to choose.”

“The best Albanian food in NY😋👌”

“Fantastic speakeasy sushi joint. Very small, no more than an handful of people may join the omasake style bar where 3 talented (and cool) chefs serve you the best crafted sushi you can get. Definitely going back soon.”

“Delicious fresh food and amazing drinks! Celebrated my friend’s bday there and we had a 12 course menu! Great atmosphere and the DJ was a great touch! Had a great time at Kaizen.”

“Was very good meat and the atmosphere nice .”

“very authentic Chinese restaurant. like the decor. service is 👍”

“Amazing, nuanced, fresh and delicious food every time. Can’t wait for the Brussels sprout salad to come back.”

“Absolutely fantastic. Everything was outstanding. Sadly, I wish I had saved room for the flourless chocolate cake. Rest assured I’m heading back on my next visit to NYC and will not leave without dessert.”

“Fantastic food, twist on classic Americana. Great drinks and service”

“Reservations highly recommended since it’s a small spot. Every dish was honestly great, so excited to go back to try their other stuff, but the beef longganisa and ube ko achar I would def order again in a heartbeat. The sauce for the gnocchi and the skewer were 10/10. Also, their Green Leaf drink with pandan - SO GOOD.

My favorite desserts are literally silvanas and cheese ice cream, so it’s def their own version of these classic Filipino desserts, but satisfied with how they interpreted them.

Can’t wait to come back!”

“Great food and very friendly staff!”

“I love this place. will join again”

“Great dining experience for hot pot.”

“After visiting Estiatorio Milos at Hudson Yards last week, the comparison made me realize that I’m actually far more drawn to the dining style of Anassa Taverna. There’s something about its atmosphere and approach to food that feels warmer, more effortless, and genuinely enjoyable rather than overly polished. The lobster pasta was outstanding — rich, flavorful, and beautifully balanced — while the fried calamari was unexpectedly impressive, perfectly light and crisp without feeling heavy. It’s the kind of meal that stays in your memory not because it tries too hard, but because every detail feels naturally well done.”

“We have been to Prime no 7 several times but Prashant was the first server to suggest new things for us and we enjoyed everything he suggested, based on what we liked.

Best experience thus far!”

“Great food and not expensive”

“Best Jhol Momo and Mustang Aloo — a must-try! The Chicken Tikka Masala with garlic naan is chef’s kiss. Unreal. I never get pics because I dive in the moment it hits the table. My weekly go-to!”

“The absolute best burger I have ever eaten, hands down! Excellent service and ambiance. Highly recommend!”

“exelente comida y ambiente, muy recomendado.”

“In a city of delicious pizza, this pizza is DELICIOUS. Shared some apps and pies, cleaned our plates. Only regret not leaving room for dessert. Had a res for around 6 on a Saturday, they’re definitely popping around that time. Good atmosphere, not too loud, friendly service.”

“Súper BUENOS estoy de vacaciones y birrialandia estaba en mi lista 100 % recomendado”

“Chongqing Lao Zao is a restaurant where you go not only for the delicious food but for the entire experience. You walk through the entrance and it is like stepping into a whole new universe that takes place in ancient China. The staff is friendly and seating is comfortable. So many food options and a beautiful sauce bar as well. Definitely recommend the dual pot. Beware of the amount of chilis in their spicy broth. Mild is shockingly spicy but we ended up separating the chili peppers from the broth after a bit and got the tomato broth to balance it out. A small thing but we also really enjoyed the little snacks they brought out in the beginning. Watermelon seeds and I think they were broad beans? Seasoned really well. Highly suggest either grabbing a reservation or joining the waitlist early here.

Now for my standard comments. Location is clean and well kept.”

“One word DIABLO !!!🙏❤️ Frost Beer was ice cold !!!”

“Amazing flavor and service”

“Food was delicious! Had the Bronzino which came with the sayadeya rice. The fish was so delicious, perfectly seasoned. The unexpected star of the show was the grilled octopus which was so soft and juicy… not chewy at all and lots of flavor. Maybe the best i’ve had. Friendly Egyptians. The service and atmosphere fits the vibe, very casual spot. Food was served quickly. Will be back!”

“May was amazing to us! She made sure we were well taken care of and made sure we were having a great time. 10/10 place! Will gladly return soon!”

“Love love love. Been here a couple times now and plan on coming back many more. Wonderful staff and delicious food surrounded by a super fun environment. The bartender sang a few songs on a Saturday night and the whole restaurant lit up. A wonderful place to spend time in the neighborhood.”

“Delicious, authentic, homemade food.”

“The food was amazing. My family and I had come early just when they opened so it was pretty empty (great for us). Yoisi and Pablo were fantastic and gave us the first cuts of every meat. Will definitely come back.”
