“Such a fun time! Dim Sum making experience“

“It’s always a vibe and the food is consistently amazing even ifs it’s a late night“

“This is a 2nd floor Japanese-Thai speakeasy in Alphabet City where the food menu leans toward Japan while the drinks are Thai-inspired with the menu designed by veteran NYC bartender and Phetchaboon native Sayparn. Her and her partners opened 11 Tigers in 2022 (year of the tiger which symbolizes success). The staff do an excellent job of mixing food and entertainment.“

“The spicy salmon is great. The atmosphere is great to de-stress“

“Honestly no complaints, the food was amazing, I would go with a veggie hot pot, however the tea was great, their cabbage is flavorful and I enjoyed their beef Scallion Pancake for real surprised when they were making right in front of my eyes. They have a great lunch special too so I would not miss out. Check out our amazing video on Social Media and follow @jadaexploresall on there for more reviews!“

“Had a lovely dining experience at Beefbar. We started with the crispy rice tuna tartare: tuna had a soft texture and was full of flavor. We shared a 10oz wagyu filet, wagyu bolognese, and truffle fries. Everything was delicious! Steak had a nice char, was tender, and cooked to a perfect medium rare. Pappardelle deserves a chefs kiss!!“

“The food here is out of this world. Everything is so fresh, tasty, colorful, and delicious. The two sisters who run the place are very kind and again, love the food. Outside of Thailand, this is the best Thai food I've ever had in NYC!“

“Wings are so delicious 😋 fast delivery“

“The food here was excellent. I got the Pad Thai and it was one of the best I've ever had. Their appetizers are all very good. I'd highly recommend going here on a date or family dinner. Menu is a little pricy but worth it.“

“The care and creative that’s put into each dish is superb. The pre-fix is an excellent deal. And it’s fam friendly even though the food is avant-garde in style. Nice service.“

“Man I would eat here everyday if I could. Excellent Indochinese comparable to Houston. Got chili momos, chicken tikka banh mi, nasi goreng, and manchow soup. All were so flavorful and they don’t skimp on the meat or veggies. Great music and vibe all around.“

“We came across this cute place during our trip to New York. It is close to WTC, close to the Brooklyn bridge and in the heart of financial district.The food was amazing, not only was it delicious, but the portion size was big. Also, they had very pretty decor enhancing their overall vibe.“

“Amazing place“

“Excellent service and food“

“Stopped by for the first time today around 11:40 - food was fresh and reasonably priced. There as another customer here at the same time who was “part of the meal plan” and was absolutely terrorizing the staff. She was extremely combative and unreasonable and immediately escalated to “reporting” the employees. All employees stayed extremely calm and professional throughout the interaction, I was very impressed with them. Happy to give more information to the owner if she complains“

“Excellent food and service…Buttery smooth melted in your mouth down to the last morsel..,I had the Autumn Fall Sushi roll , the tuna spicy roll not small but a nice size .. We also had the tuna Poke Bowl and the Tom Yum hot spicy soup .. All perfectly served with perfection .,5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️all the way!! Super fresh“

“Great place, excellent noodles and large choice“

“Me and my friends came to Bon chon for lunch and ordered chicken, katsu, fries, and street corn. In terms of the chicken, it’s cooked very well, crispy, and the sauce is delicious. The only takeaway is for people who don’t love salty foods the chicken may seem a little salty but for people who enjoy savory things the chicken is perfect. The pickled radish that comes with chicken offers a mild, fresh, and sweet flavor. For the katsu, it has a hint of spice, and the sauce delivers a sweet and savory flavor. The coleslaw that comes with it, is not soggy and is delivered perfectly, it’s crisp and cool. The only takeaway to have for the katsu is that it’s a little tough/overcooked. The fries are crispy -and golden. It’s soft on the inside and delivers a great flavor. If you prefer salt on your fries we recommend adding salt but if you don’t these fries are perfect for you. And finally for the street corn, it has a great flavor, it’s cooked pretty well, and the cheese and the greens add a nice touch. We would definitely get it again. The staff here are so nice and caring, we would definitely come again, get these foods, and we recommend you try these next time as well.“

“Hospitality AAA FOOD AA PRICE A“

“I had the Bibimbap with teriyaki chicken and was blown away. Decided to take home the leftovers that didn’t even survive the evening in my fridge cause I just had to go back and finish them😄Dubai cheese cake for desert also 5/5! Updated from previous review on 2026-03-27“

“rice bowls are a symphony“

“The service was wonderful and quick. The staff is very friendly and accommodates your dining needs. The food is outstanding as well as the wide array of alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks. Everything was awesome. I will return and recommend to all of my family and friends.“

“The food I ordered was good ,well seasoned, but when I wanted to order their signature dish, which is the bao bao buns, they said it’s no longer in stock and won’t be ready till next season.

I was really disappointed that I couldn’t get what I really wanted.“

“Been going here for the delicious scallion pancakes for many years ohh and those hand pulled noodles with fresh homemade chili crunch are to die. Plus you can get everything to go and have a wonderful al fresco experience with the Hudson on one side and Riverside Cathedral to the other.“

“My go-to lunch near the office! Well balanced meals and very filling. They rotate bento offerings every day so there’s something new everytime you go. If you’re not as hungry, they have a good selection of onigiri (rice balls) as well. There’s also a ramen station I haven’t tried yet but smells delicious. Customer service is excellent and welcoming. I highly recommend Benton, there’s something there for everyone!“

“Wonderful food, friendly and helpful staff, great atmosphere and location. The best soup dumplings I’ve had in Manhattan.“

“Loved the food. Loved the ambiance. Loved the service and the location. Reasonably priced. Great place to visit with family and friends.“

“Truly my favorite place to eat. I live a block away so go there all the time on the weekend and for dinner, sometimes take the train from my office in midtown down to Chelsea for lunch. This is truly the only fast-casual place where I feel the food is of high quality - it is clear everything is not mass-produced. The brussel sprouts are hands down the best I have ever had and same with the sweet potatoes. To be honest - everything is absolutely delicious. What makes it so special is you can truly tell that care was put into making everything that is served. Even the way it is displayed shows the amount of effort that goes into the preparation. The food is not over-seasoned or trying too hard to do something different - it is simply cooked well and with good ingredients, mixing which for some reason seems to be rare these days. The steak is honestly as good as steak I have had at much fancier restaurants. This is what fast casual should be. I am the biggest fan. I highly recommend. You will be full after - but the good kind of full!“

“We absolutely love Chu Ros Thai.
The ambiance is great, the service is always attentive and friendly, and the location and music make it such a relaxing place to unwind. The drinks are amazing too, consistently well made.

My girlfriend and I have been coming here almost every week, and it has quickly become one of our favorite spots. Everything we’ve tried has been excellent. The Tom Kha soup is rich and comforting, the veggie emeralf dumplings are fresh and perfectly done, and the mango shrimp spicy salad was absolutely outstanding.

This place never disappoints. Highly recommended for great food, great vibes, and a consistently wonderful experience.“

“I love this place, Im speaking for alot of people who are A huge fan of Ozen. The staff are so amazing, and kind. The food was delicious. The atmosphere is like your at your own house, perfect sushi place, will be coming back again <3.

Kid-friendliness: They are so nice towards kids, love them for that.“

“A masterclass in precision—every dish feels deeply personal rather than performative. Each dish balances restraint and intensity: umami hums beneath bright acids and thoughtful textures, making even familiar ingredients feel newly intelligent. It’s the rare Manhattan restaurant that’s both soulful and exacting, a place you crave not for spectacle, but for how completely it understands flavor. Wonderful people leading the way.“

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

“I am so happy that they have an SOS menu. It was great to be able to relax and know that the kitchen welcomes my dietary preference. Thank you!

It seems that nearly everything is prepared to order, and as a result if coming here you should be prepared to possibly wait longer than most restaurants for your food to be ready.
I do wish there was a way for the restaurant to communicate this to avoid problems with new customers who may be expecting quicker service.“

“The food is amazing. Very clean and cool vibes.“

“I went to this restaurant twice and I had a great time … I love the food and atmosphere“

“Lovely atmosphere excellent food“

“THE BEST BIRTHDAY DINNER WE’VE EVER HAD !!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🇮🇩🇺🇸👍“

“I found this amazing restaurant via Google Maps & I’m glad I did! Ordered through Grubhub & everything arrived warm, freshly made & with plentiful amounts! Yum!
BBQ Spare Ribs were amazing in taste & fully cooked, not too soft, just right! Scallion pancakes arrived very crispy & not soggy like others I’ve had! Pork fried rice was seasoned perfectly! They also accommodated my no egg request in the rice for an added bonus! Dumplings were delicious with an adequate amount of juicy pork filling! Boneless BBQ ribs were soft, full of sauce & tasty as well! Prices are a bit higher, but you get your money’s worth overall! Try it you’ll be happy you did!“

“Our food was outstanding. We ordered takeout and ended up choosing the wrong location. They actually brought our food over to the restaurant we were waiting at despite our error. This was above and beyond and much appreciated. We will definitely go back.“

“The distance seemed worth covering once I took my first bite. The food meets the mark every time. The team prioritized my needs and answered everything with positive attitudes. The restaurant proved worthy of consideration. The visit here was completely worthwhile.“

“The food is consistently fresh and tasty. So happy to have an excellent Szechwan restaurant in a neighborhood where good Chinese cuisine is sorely lacking.“

“The reviews painted a different picture of this restaurant. This spot provides an easy-going, welcoming environment. The staff members maintain modest warmth while solving problems. Waiters delivered great service with inventive food options. Service quality was high and food was good.“

“Friedman's West and La Salle Dumpling have merged into one restaurant.

The good news is that two people craving different cuisines can now dine together at the same place. However, the downside is that those unaware of La Salle Dumpling's presence inside Friedman's may find it nearly impossible to locate the restaurant.

This unique establishment offers two completely distinct cuisines, prepared to perfection. In particular, the xiao long bao and Chinese-style noodles are exceptional. The brunch menu exceeds expectations, and both the coffee and iced tea are outstanding.“

“The place is great and feels like a dragon ball z lunch with Goku. Me and my son loved the food and the serve was fabulous. Even the food to go when heating it up tasted awesome. I would highly recommend going there.“
