Hala chicken over rice with EVERYTHING IS win for me when coming home from a long day of work and I need a quick bite to eat for reasonable price. local fresh and yummy thank you 🙏🏽 walked in the rain to get this for dinner the other day xoxox“

“I ordered the curry goat meal and the cow foot meal on UberEats. Unfortunately, they were out of cow foot but the food exceeded my expectations. I've ordered curry goat from Golden Krust and other restaurants and have been consistently disappointed. THIS is the one I've been looking for 👌🏾 The meat was tender, delicious and had the perfect amount of spice to it (not too much but not too little either) The rice and peas & veggies were perfection as well. Will definitely order from here again.“

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

“Incredibly surprised to find this place I will def be back“

“Mac and cheese with the oxtail…. Muhaaa didn’t even take a picture of the after. It was amazing. If u like truffle highly recommend adding it definitely would be back. The wings crispy n fresh. Recommend for any wing or Mac lovers for sure“

“Visited on a rainy day to celebrate our anniversary. It was a small and cozy space. Felt very intimate. We sat on the bar and it was interesting watching the chefs preparing the food. Everything was absolutely delicious. Our reservation was 5:30 on a Sunday night and we were able to do the happy hour. Literally picked everything from the bites section. The Momo’s were delicious and freshly made. Drinks were delicious. We ordered the jolly duck leg with fried rice and they were AMAZING! Highly recommended and will def come back!“

“Went 1st time today for my Birthday - it was GREAT!💙👍“

“A calm and pleasant spot for lunch.

I came during the afternoon and the place was quiet.
The staff was very friendly and even asked how the meal was at the end.
Note: It’s self-service.

Food: The hand-pulled noodles and broth were fresh and excellent.
The fried side dish was crispy and flavorful.
Drink: The iced black tea with mango was light and very refreshing.
Tip: As you can see in the video - the portions are very generous.
I recommend ordering a small size because I couldn’t finish it.

Seating: I sat by the window facing the street. It was nice to eat and watch Broadway at the same time.
There’s also an inner bar table closer to the kitchen.
The place is clean and the surrounding area feels calm and safe.

Price: Very affordable and filling.
This was my first time trying authentic Chinese food and I was pleasantly surprised.
Highly recommend and worth saving for a real local meal.“

The hand-pulled noodles were outstanding—fresh, chewy, and full of flavor. The service was excellent as well. The staff were attentive, friendly, and offered helpful recommendations. Definitely a place I’ll come back to!“

“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!“

“I have enjoyed eating at Aurora many times since 2010 with my wife, friends and family.The food and service is always consistently good. But when I went this week, I found myself disappointed that they did not serve bread. The waiter told be they do not do it anymore with no explanation. It may be a small thing, but it was significant for me.“

“Absolutely Incredible food and family Owned service“

“Perfect event for farewell evening! Thank you!“

“What a delightful little breakfast/brunch place!!! We went here straight from the airport on our way into town, luggage and all, and it was perfect! We sat in the little outside area with the fans because the A/C was broken inside. My mom ordered the Grey Dog’s Breakfast with her eggs scrambled, French toast, and bacon, and it’s served with home fries. I ordered the egg and cheese croissant minus the parsley (not my fave) and added bacon. I’m picky about my home fries, so the server offered me french fries instead. We had exactly zero complaints about our meal. The portions are big, the eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly, and the French toast had this sweet butter with it that I can’t even compare to anything because it was so unique and delicious. The home fries ended up being DELICIOUS. The French fries were also good. I enjoyed the seasoning on them as well. I’m not a big fan of the thing shoe string fries, but these were good! The three employees we encountered were all very friendly and I would be more than happy to eat here again any time.“

“The spicy chicken biscuit omg toooooo die for so my husband and I saw many people entering this spot plus it was our first time. We heard mac and cheese, greens, and fried chicken. So we got a bucket of mixed chicken, two sides of Mac and cheese, and some collard greens (they make them with black eyed peas and tomatoes; totally different from any kind of greens I ever had and I definitely was left craving more. Nice little spot and such friendly people. Heading back very soon“

“Cosy atmosphere, great food and friendly people.“

“We came to New York for a few days and had an amazing Brunch at Old John’s Diner. The coffee (an important factor!) was amazing, and the food delicious! Also the decoration is very beautiful. We were assisted by Evelyn, and she was amazing! If you go definitely ask for her service, and have some of the delicious pancakes!“

“The food was plentiful and so good. The staff was very friendly and helpful in selecting our meals. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I would recommend this restaurant!“

“They were short staffed but the owners were so cute and attentive as possible. We had a larger group and ordered several items which were all delicious. The flavors weren’t extremely different from each other, even the spiciest wasn’t that spicy but the crispy outer layer of the chicken was perfect along with the tiny hint of spice. My personal fav was the galbi kimbab. Please support this local business! They even let us turn on the tv to play the Knicks game. What more can you ask for?“

“There service absolutely 💯 LOVE THE PLACE AND EVERYONE IN IT THERE MY OTHER FAMILY'S THEY GREET EVERYONE WITH OPEN ARMS ESPECIALLY ESPECIALLY JEFFREY AND GISELE THERE THE OWNERS IF U WANT TO HAVE A EVENT THERE THE FOOD IS INCREDIBLE ESPECIALLY THERE SERVICE 😀 THESE ARE DIFFERENT EVENT TREAT EVERYONE WITH RESPECT AND LOVE“

“I come to this location often and each time, the food is excellent but what keeps me coming back is the extraordinary staff and immaculate customer service. So I came in today and they were swamped. Food delivery drivers waiting for orders, people on line. I saw like 10 trays of food getting packed up lined up. Although he was working, Walen immediately looked up and acknowledged me. “How you doing sir, I’ll be right with you, my apologies.” He packed up the orders and started to take my order. I had 3 create your own orders. Although they already had a lot going on Walen took my order, still being pleasant and patient. Then as I headed to the register, Lonnie who was also getting to go delivery orders out, stopped and said I’ll be with you in one second. I told her I was in know rush because I see you guys have a lot going on. Nonetheless, she packed up the to go order in seconds, rang me up with a smile and said she always appreciates me coming. It’s like this each and every time I come. No matter how busy it is, I’m acknowledged, greatly warmly and I feel like my dollar is well appreciated. Walen and Lonnie have taken care of me in this manner many times and there’s also a young tall darker-complexion gentleman that is just as fantastic. I hate to describe him that way but I didn’t get his name.“

“I have been looking for great tacos and happy hour drinks in this neighborhood for a while, and this is the spot! Sit at the bar, order the Tacos del Dia (you can order a combo of different ones) and enjoy. Such an obvious pleasure that few places get right anymore.“

“The staff here were extremely attentive and caring when it came to my strict dietary restrictions. They took my health needs seriously, double-checked their preparation process, and made sure everything was handled safely and transparently. I really appreciate their honesty, care, and excellent customer service!“

“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 👍🏻“

“The food was phenomenal and they have the most amazingly long list of side dishes and vegetables. My dinner was the teriyaki salmon which I paired with garlic mashed potatoes and beets with feta and walnuts. It was so delicious! And the service was great, with a relaxing ambiance.“

“This place feels like coming home to your favorite cozy spot that always hits just right. I've been here for date nights and catching up w friends- a perfect place for both. It's such an ideal NYC neighborhood hangout- the food is ALWAYS outstanding, and the ambience (think cool jazz tunes, no tvs) is exactly what I need after a long overstimulated day.“

“Someone who’s from Texas and been here for work it’s really hard to find some true southern flare and this place answers the calling when it comes to that and glad that I’d gotten to make the trip over here to try it out. Also will most definitely will be back again.“

“I came here on a Saturday around 1:30 PM and was able to snag a seat at the counter! I ordered the Mera Mera dipping soba and cucumber salad, and the food came out pretty quickly. The cucumber salad was refreshing and crunchy, while the soba was served piping hot! The dipping broth sits over a flame, keeping it hot throughout the meal. The soba noodles were chewy with a nice al dente bite, and the broth was packed with umami flavor. My only wish was that there was more meat in the broth, but overall, it was a delicious meal! You can also add more toppings to the broth, extra charge.

Pro tip: This restaurant is cash only, so make sure to bring cash!“

“Great food, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and authentic. I really enjoyed my meal and will definitely be back. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for delicious, authentic Burmese food!“
