“Definitely a great way to represent culture by way of the stomach!! Anyone who can appreciate delicious homestyle West Indian food should come here!“

“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.“

“My girlfriend and I came here to celebrate a special occasion. They have a good happy hour and the service was fantastic. They are super friendly and attentive. The fried rice is awesome and the general tso’s chicken was delicious, with portions so big that we took home leftovers. If I could recommend one thing it would be the fried dumplings appetizer, best I’ve ever had in NYC. We will be back soon!“

“Was visiting my godchild and she wanted to eat here. The staff was amazing as was the ramen. Cozy and cool. We went for lunch on a Saturday and we were seated right away. I would definitely go back“

“Ate there yesterday for the first time. What a find! The food is excellent, staff is wonderful, pricing is great. I loved how clean everything was. Enjoy!“

“Best mochinuts I’ve had!! Great place, super friendly staff and amazing food and drinks!! I love this place!!“

“Great food and great service ! Everyone was friendly and attentive. We also got to try a complimentary dessert for leaving a review which was such a nice touch! It’s a fun way to try something different while enjoying your meal! Definitely coming back 😊🍰“

“After living in the Upper East Side for years, I’m thrilled to finally have a great quality boba place nearby. They have a wide variety of tea and toppings that all taste great and the owners are so nice. I keep coming back and the experience never disappoints. Would highly recommend this place“

“i work in Harlem and this little gem on 124th is fabulous. the food is delicious, the lunch specials are well priced. I have had many lunches and dinners at this place. love love love it“

“It’s a very Americanised Chinese restaurant (but that’s fine). It’s not as upscale as it looks in the pictures/they make it seem - it’s just a normal restaurant. They had a lot of takeaway orders though it seems.

I ordered the lobster shumai and it was definitely just prawn (shrimp) but they were actually genuinely very good so I won’t complain.

Lo mein was quite a large portion.

Service was very good! I liked my server a lot“

“Asian food, Chinese old school food? Don’t treat yourself bad. Don’t eat the same old food that you eat every day. Try this clean vegan place and you will enjoy yourself as I will always enjoy myself wherever I go. Now they will fix you vegan food. They do not have any beef and pork, but you won’t even miss it. It’s a wonderful place. Thank you so much.“

“My favorite Japanese restaurant. Chef Bing is not only talented but also creative. Food is delicious and wonderfully presented. I would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Ordered take out. Was looking for a great tasting sesame chicken made with white meat. Saw the reviews online and took a chance because so far the Asian restaurants I’ve been to do not make DELICIOUS sesame chicken. This place did not let me down. The sesame chicken was so delicious! I was so happy! This is, now, my go to place for sesame chicken. I didn’t like the dumplings. They were very doughy and chewy. No good. Next time I’ll order the Gyoza. Maybe that’s not doughy. I’ll try the fried rice too and see how that goes. But for sure I’ll be coming back!“

“A bit addicted…have several competing faves and always happy to try more.“

“Came here to eat in New Year’s Day. Miso soup was so good. We ordered many hand yolks between two people. There was one tool I didn’t like too much I can’t remember the name now but all the rest were fresh and delicious.
They even gave us a cute ice cream dessert“

“Star Sushi was a really pleasant surprise. From the moment we sat down, the place felt welcoming and comfortable, and the staff had that good mix of being friendly without hovering. The whole experience had a calm, easy pace, which made it enjoyable right from the start.

The sushi itself was excellent. Everything looked fresh and put together with care, and the flavors were well-balanced instead of feeling heavy or overly seasoned. Each bite had that clean, satisfying taste you want from sushi—nothing felt bland, and nothing tasted like it had been sitting around too long. The rolls were solid and filling, with nice textures and a good mix of ingredients.

What also stood out was how smooth the service was. The timing was right, the order came out neatly, and it felt like they actually pay attention to the details. Even though it was busy, it didn’t feel chaotic.

Overall, Star Sushi is a great go-to for anyone craving well-made sushi with a nice atmosphere and genuinely helpful service. It’s the kind of spot you leave thinking, “We should come back here again soon.”“

“White Bear is hands down the BEST wonton place. The food is absolutely amazing — fresh, flavorful, and honestly addicting. Every single time I come here, I leave so happy.

The service is what really sets this place apart though. That kind of kindness is so rare and truly appreciated. The guy at the front desk is genuinely one of the nicest people — always welcoming, friendly, and makes you feel like more than just a customer.

You can tell they really care about their food and the people who come in. If you’re thinking about trying this place, DO IT. White Bear never disappoints and will forever be my go-to spot“

“Our favorite sushi restaurant ever! And if you're not into sushi, there is something for you too - tempura, hibachi, etc. So very delicious and they are so nice there!“

“Clean environment selling raw whole fish for decent prices in upper East Harlem, bringing a fish butcher shop close to me in my neighborhood instead of having to go to China town. Love that they also serve affordable Chinese, sushi, and even seafood boil dishes. Very authentic and wholesome location.“

“Food is always fresh and yummy!!“

“Great food. Worth the $$$“

“Very nice place good sushi good food good sevise“

“Delicious food and great service!“

“Love this place. Small but clean. I love the plating they look beautiful. The food is delicious we will definitely coming back with my whole family next time ✨✨✨✨✨“

“A reliable sushi spot that we keep coming back to when we’re in the area. We went around 5:30pm and were seated right away. It wasn’t too crowded initially, but picked up as the evening went on.

Parking on Mamaroneck Ave can be a bit tricky, but if you circle around, you’ll usually find something.

We like sitting near the front with a view of the street. Service is consistently good, and it’s nice seeing familiar staff over multiple visits.

We usually order a variety of rolls and share, which makes for a great mix. Everything is fresh, well presented, and tastes great. A Sapporo pairs perfectly with the meal.

Definitely a spot we’d recommend and continue to revisit.“

“Loved it so much the first time I had to go back 2 nights later. Well. Guess what. Just as good. Maybe even better. The food and service were both outstanding. Super excited to think we finally found our neighborhood Chinese restaurant. Been a while since we felt that way. And, as good as the classic food is, do not miss desert. Also fantastic. Will be back again soon. For sure. Thank you Wa Jeal.“

“Kua Kai fried noodle is the best 👍😋🤤“

“Food is amazing... there is never a long wait and the food comes out extremely quick“

“Haiku is one of my favorite casual spots in Bronxville. I really enjoyed the kani salad.. it was fresh, light, and flavorful. The shrimp and rice dish was delicious, perfectly cooked, and very satisfying. The sushi is always fresh and consistently good. I also love the relaxed, casual atmosphere. It’s a comfortable place to enjoy a nice meal without feeling rushed. Friendly service and good food keep me coming back. Definitely recommend“

“무엇보다 직원분들이 너무 친절하셔서 좋았어요 음식 맛도 정말 맛있었구요.“

“The Staff. TOP NOTCH!!!!“

“This restaurant is a local GEM! Never disappointed with anything we have ordered in over 6 years. The menu has something for everyone, whether you are looking for a traditional Chinese meal, an American style Chinese meal or Japanese items. We have tried them all, but LOVE creating our own Chinese/Japanese tapas style meal followed by sharing a single entree. Standouts are the wonton soup, rice paper shrimp roll, Kani salad, sushi and many inventive, delicious dumplings (dim sum).“

“I went Gari ues on Monday night with my friends. We ordered sushi sashimi combo. It was beyond expectations. Each piece was well balanced with impeccable presentation. Although rest was packed with many patrons, 2 of servers were very attentive and gave us lovely service.
We had wonderful time. We highly recommend to have omakase.“

“My gosh the food here was so very extremely goooood. The combos are great for the price and was able to feed the wife, kid and myself. Came from NYC to enjoy these Korean dishes. There may be other places like this but their spacing makes it a very short wait time, if at all.“

“Delicious food, generous portions, reasonable prices! We both got combo meals for only $11 and both had enough food for two meals. Service was super quick and the staff were nice and accommodating with substitutions.

Vegetarian options: Veggie options for most dishes, and staff very accommodating about substituting out meat for vegetables in combo meals.“

“Food was great, nice decor and soothing atmosphere. Very affordable. Had a great time with family.“

“Awesome atmosphere and music ….and the food is a “10” out of “10”!!! Delicious !!!!! The octopus is a definite must have!!!!!“

“Had a beautiful lunch to celebrate my late husband's birthday with five of his good friends. This was his favorite place to eat. Chelsea took great care of us all. The service was outstanding. Food was delicious. The atmosphere was delightful. We had a awesome time. Will definitely recommend.“

“I chose the sushi deluxe, and I guess it’s similar to an omakase style. They told me it would be 9 pieces with one roll, and honestly, all the selections were great. The fish was very fresh and high quality. I was also really impressed by their service.

My friend and I were deep in conversation and lost track of time, but they never rushed us to leave. I will definitely be coming back and will make a reservation next time (we were lucky to get seats with no wait just by walking in)!“

“Excellent food, service was outstanding and great atmosphere. Have not been here for awhile will definitely being going back regularly.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Julie is the best Other severs are great too“

“This was my go to place back in the 90's my Buddy Jacob used to be their delivery guy. Best Egg rolls in the Bx, plus the food was Excellent. Staff was friendly helpful, & respectful. Looking forward to seeing if the old crew is still around!“

“This is one of our family's absolute favorite go-to spots, and I highly recommend it. My wife and daughter love their kalguksu so much that we find ourselves visiting almost every weekend. The soup broth is rich and deep, and the noodles are wonderfully smooth.
When you come here, you simply have to order the dumplings and kimchi jim along with the kalguksu. The dumplings are packed full and delightfully savory, while the kimchi jim is an absolute rice thief. Taking a sip of the warm kalguksu broth and pairing it with a piece of kimchi jim creates the ultimate flavor combination. The portions are generous, and we always leave fully satisfied. We will definitely keep coming back. Highly recommended for family dining.“

“Lovely little spot with such fresh sashimi and sushi! The cash only might deter a couple of people but they are missing out. I compare all sushi to the high quality I enjoyed at Poke Restaurant! They allow you to bring your own wine, beer and sake.“

“I had the absolute best experience at this restaurant! I ordered poke, tempura, and popcorn chicken, and every bite was incredible. The popcorn chicken was cooked to perfection crispy and golden on the outside, but so tender and juicy on the inside that it practically melted in my mouth. The poke was just as impressive; the salmon was fresh, silky, and perfectly seasoned. The tempura was light and crispy.
As amazing as the food was, the service was just as outstanding. The staff truly brightened my day with their warmth and friendliness. They made me feel so welcomed the moment I walked in, and their genuine smiles and attentive care made the experience unforgettable. Overall it was a 10/10 experience and I will be going back!“

“I came here for lunch as I had an appointment near. I had a very unexpectedly but good food experience here. For lunch I had 3 sushi rolls with a salad. One of the options I selected was the snow crab roll and when I say it was so delicious and fresh!!! I'm still thinking about it. 😋“

“Honestly this is some of the best sushi I’ve had. Very friendly, accommodating, and good service. But it’s the fish. Fresh, creative, delicious. We’ll be back again, and again.“

“My favorite sushi place ! Not only do they service the most delicious rolls, they treat you like family ! Awesome cocktails and great atmosphere ! Check out the OMG roll or fiesta !“

“Holy Guacamole! I’ve been living in the area for years, I’ve always lived this place for the staple Chinese meals (chicken wings, chicken & broccoli, shrimp lo mien, egg rolls etc). I got into(very basic) sushi a few months ago& since then I’ve been ordering California Rolls, they are AMAZING. Yesterday I branched out of my comfort zone and OMGGGGG these Fire Island Rolls & the Rock & Rolls?!?! BOMBBB DIGGITY 😍“
