“AMAZING vegan food, great staff, wonderful location. Even the meat-eaters in our party loved it. The pot pie was one of the yummiest and most satisfying dishes I've had in over a decade. 😁“

“Ordered a pepperoni and the truffle cashew cream. I enjoyed the truffle pizza more. Ordered via UberEATS and unfortunately the delivery guy put my pizza in a backpack vertically. This of course made the pizza look like a mess. Still good though.“

“Decided to head from Manhattan to Brooklyn to dine at HAAM as I’ve been wanting to try their food for a while. It did not disappoint. I ordered their island onigiri, mofongo, and a guava juice. Everything was delicious. I especially enjoyed the presentation of the mofongo. Can’t wait to come back and try more things on their menu.“

“Had the recommendation from the Off Menu Podcast. Great atmosphere, great service and amazing ramen.“

“Excellent service and food“

“Love the pad thai so much. Really authentic Thai kitchen. Thank you so much guys. I really enjoyed this!“

“This was a fantastic experience! From the moment we stepped inside, the staff was courteous, engaging, helpful and knowledgeable. We had a party of 3, and ordered 6 dishes. Each dish came out as it was made and each dish was absolutely delicious. A person in our party had a gluten allergy which was no problem and accommodated with ease. We come to NY every year and this will absolutely be a place we revisit again and again! Vegans, vegetarians and omnivores alike will appreciate the dishes and be amazed with the taste! Highly recommended!“

“My wife and I generally eat for five people, we ordered 4 small plates and 2 mains, still looking into dessert. Each dish had its own layer of perfection with unique flavors and exquisite presentation. I’d say a restaurant on its way to becoming Michelin…..bravo! Oh and the ole school hip hop added to the vibe. Enjoyed this dinner date immensely!👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😎😎😎“

“Exquisite food, atmosphere, and experience. 10/10 must try!!“

“Celebrated my birthday here best experience ever hospitality was amazing“

“very good food excellent service great bbq fj“

“Ricoooooo los tacos y quesadillas! Se hizo poca fila. Atienden rápido. Nos encantó!!!“

“The food was good. I had a E-Classic“

“Here's the review Spencer wrote for you: My family and I just visited to celebrate my grandsons birthday- we like to get a bunch of plates and share family style and this menu was perfect for that. You have to get mezze and extra bread (must try the kubane). We also ended up getting three orders of the shishbarak for the six of us, it is way too good! I got the salmon for my entree which was cooked to perfection and beautifully seasoned. Spencer our server recommended the silan and the cheesecake for dessert so we shared those and boy were they something special- I can’t pick a favorite! He brought us a candle and we got some great pictures. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.“

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

“absolutely amazing ♥️♥️♥️♥️“

“I love green curry, if I could eat just one food for the rest of my life it's green curry so I'm picky when I try a new place and this place was INCREDIBLE!!! I inhaled this dish like it was my last meal and wanted more, and great service“

“I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Modern Love. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was inviting, and the food was incredible. Thank you!“

“I typically avoid writing restaurant critiques, given my years of experience in the industry. However, my recent visit to Gramercy Tavern compelled me to share my thoughts due to the disappointing experience. I was excited to dine at the bar after waiting half an hour for a seat. I ordered my usual drink, appetizer, and main dish, knowing the restaurant’s reputation for excellence. However, things took a turn when I stepped away to use the restroom. During that brief moment, my belongings—two bags—were removed and given to the coat check staff without my knowledge. When I returned, I was unceremoniously escorted to the exit, which left me confused and uncomfortable. At the reception, I tried to express my concerns, but the staff was dismissive. I requested to speak with a manager, but the coat check attendant firmly stated there was nothing to discuss and closed the door in my face. This treatment was not only unprofessional but also disheartening, especially after spending $145 on my meal. It’s unfortunate that a great dining experience was overshadowed by poor service and a lack of accountability. I hope the management reviews this situation to prevent it from happening to others in the future.“

“Best food ever“

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

“I highly recommend this restaurant! The food is amazing! You must try the buffalo wings if you love your dishes with a spicy kick and the buffalo cauliflower bites that simply melt in your mouth! The Chef's V Steak is a rich and flavorful you should try it. The service is wonderful and the ambiance is very trendy.“

“Definitely recommend coming here for the experience if you love hotpot. Their food is not much different from other hotpot places, but what sets this place different than the rest is their service. The waiters are all super attentive and try to accommodate your requests as much as possible. If you come at the right times, they might even have performances and shows.“

“I had the drunken noodles and soup of the day. Both were flavorful and authentic. The atmosphere was elegant and relaxing. Everything seemed full of quality and care. Friendly waitstaff. Excellent service. I want to come back and try everything on the menu. Also have a full gluten-free menu.“

“I love their square pizzas, calamari, garlic bread, and spumoni ice cream.“

“I love Le Crocodile for breakfast. Juan was super kind helping me with my tea and coffee order. For me, I love how calming and beautiful the environment is. Most of the all the staff ( Tak included!). I go regularly and enjoy it every time.“

“Went to Spicy Moon for the first time last year with my colleague who was in town. She couldn't stop thinking about it and insisted we return - and it definitely didn't dissapoint. Highly recommend the Mapo Tofu (which iI've gotten both times) and the Salt and Pepper (a new discovery).“

“best vegan burger in brooklyn! i went with my friend who is vegan, we got the 60/40 impossible and beyond blend, it was amazing. the yucca fries and tater tots are seasoned beautifully. the guy who works there clearly knows what he’s doing and cares about it. definitely going back.“

“We've been going here for 15 years and will miss it terribly when it's gone.“

“Es el mejor, la atención, la amabilidad 💯“

“I have to say this restaurant was absolutely delicious!! So glad we tried the only Mexican Michelin star in New York!!!

We went here for our anniversary and were very pleased! Our reservation was for 9 and our table was ready exactly at that time.  Service was fantastic! Our waiter was really friendly and very knowledgeable about all the food items.  He answered all of our questions about flavors and portion sizes quite thoroughly which made our decisions easy!

Their tequila and mezcal varieties were very extensive and they had great cocktail options as well! For appetizers we decided to choose the smoked mangoes, tuna tostada, and the punta verde caesar.  All were so tasty and had such amazing flavor, we even ordered another tuna tostada!!  I would say we felt the mangoes were more of a snack/dessert and not an app but we were not mad about it at all because the smokiness they were able to get into the mangoes was amazing!

For the main course we went with the lamb and swordfish tacos (it comes with 2 each).  They are average sized, nothing too big or small especially since we ordered so many appetizers between the two of us!!  Both dishes were so flavorful!! I would highly recommend trying everything you have room for since the choices we made were bursting with so much flavor!

We chose the Oaxacan chocolate cake and the tres leches for dessert.  The cake and ice cream had a strong espresso flavor, maybe because I don't drink any coffee/espresso at all but it was still very tasty.

Overall this was a very affordable Michelin Star restaurant and we were extremely pleased with every aspect of our dining experience.  We would absolutely return to try more menu items and highly recommend paying them a visit if you are a fan of big, bold flavors!!

(The photos are not great sorry.)“

“This place is like a hidden gem! Everything is so delicious, fresh and you can also order without sugar or salt. They have a good quality plant based food with a lots of gf option. I tried green curry and mung bean noodles they both were great! Thank you!“

“We absolutely loved this place ! Vegan fried egg was the absolute bomb dig !! Would love to have ordered a fried egg on toast, yum. But really fancied french toast so got that with hash and we also got an omelette, i am not an omelette girl but the husband loved it, tasted just like egg, the french toast was perfection, maple, plenty of maple syrup. Got to say though guys the fried egg was the starrrrr ! We literally ordered one just on the side to try and wow, if you miss egg, then order order order !“

“Obao is one of my favorite restaurants in NYC! I have never been disappointed here. Best atmosphere, staff, food, and drinks all for a reasonable price. Highly, highly recommend!!! Especially the calamari 😋“

“Our server Katie, hands down the best person I have ever met, sis came over with the most energetic attitude, filled my water within 30 Seconds of me sitting down, she answered any questions I had about the menu (there were quite a few) she was so attentive and made this experience one of the best ones. She made sure we were comfortable and having fun the whole time. She made our 1st time here definitely memorable for I’ll be back for my birthday in a month THANKS TO KATIE ????

I went there a couple of times and tried a lot of different dishes, they all exceeded expectations.

“Total Score: 8.75


Another fancy pantsy bathroom.

Customer
Very nice to us, gave us suggestions as to what to eat, and made nice small talk


It’s giving river town cuz there was a walkway way in the middle that was raised a little. Also loved the aquarium.


Don’t know how I feel about the food. Everything was cooked well, well seasoned, and sauces were great. But I think some of the dishes were lacking depth. But that’s a minor critique.

Wow: 0.75/1
River.

Total Score = BR + CS + 2*AM + 5*FOOD + WOW“

“Highly recommended for vegans ❤️“

“Food was dope!!!!! Sweet potato casserole was Insane, nuggets were filling and tasty! This was my 3rd visit!“

“The food here is amazing! I had the jerk chicken over Mac & cheese, a milkshake, and a soft serve cone- all comfort foods that are difficult to find as vegan! Not only is this the best vegan food that I’ve ever had, but the food is amazing overall! I highly recommend eating here!“

“lots of food for a good price!“

“Great vegan deli. The Triple Threat (Italian sandwich) ruled. Perfect flavor balance. Fresh. 10/10. I bought a bunch of slices to go to make this sandwich at home. The macaroni salad was great. And the people working there were friendly and helpful. Can't recommend it enough. I wish this place was in my town. Updated from previous review on 2024-10-13“

“Food and drinks were amazing. Only complaint is waited too long, over 30 min, for our food. Watched as people who sat after us finished their food and left.“

“Uno de los mejores Bares del Mundo“

“Very nice atmosphere in the middle of the East Village.“

“I’m not sure how I missed this place, since they’ve been here since 2022! If I lived down here, near the Manhattan location, this would definitely be a weekly treat…if not more. Everything we tried over 2 days was insanely good. B.I.G burger, PLNT mushroom BBQ bacon burger, Chili, spicy dusted fries, black & white shake…and those Lil Dippers chkn-Nuggs…OMG! We debated the lil dippers, since they’re quite a bit more expensive than other offerings….but they were soooo f’ing worth it!

This is going to be a destination whenever we are down here in the future. ❤️“
