The food was amazing - it was made so fast but obviously well prepared - our waiter, Ms. Asu was so sweet and she made the atmosphere truly remarkable ? When i come back to NYC i will be coming here! Thank you

Really happy to have this gem of a place less than a 5min walk from my apartment! Food is always delicious and the service is great. The staff is friendly and always willing to answer questions and happy to offer suggestions!
Food was good but menu was little confusing. Tried to order a breakfast and got a sandwich. The food was good just as with most places in NYC shrinkflation hit here just as it did most others. That doesn't diminish the service or the quality though. I sat at the bar which is set up as classic American diner, which gives it a homey atmosphere.
Will visit again given a chance but not in the immediate future.

Really enjoyed this new place. Friends and I went out to grab a few drinks, and this was a nice, chill place to do it. I was basic, and only ordered a frozen margarita. However, this is possibly the only place in HK where they actually put tequila IN the frozen marg. After three of these adult slushies, I was basically done for the night.
My biggest gripe is that the prices seem a little high, even for the neighborhood. Maybe I'm still reeling from every bar and restaurant raising prices by over 50% these past couple years, but the price is one thing that really is giving me pause before coming here again.
It also seemed long between when we ordered and when we got our drinks, especially considering the place was maybe half full on a Friday before 8p. Maybe they were short-staffed that night or still figuring out how to move faster. Either way, if it wasn't for the price, this observation would be a complete non-issue.
Still, at the end of the day, the drinks were strong, the place was chill and friendly, and we all walked (or stumbled) away having a delightful time.

I’m always surprised when owners invest significants amount of time and money in a restaurant and they can’t execute at the bottom line. Bottomline is prompt attentive service and very good food. This place unfortunately lacks both. Let’s start with the “smash burger” with “obligatory sauce” and carmelized onions. Firstly, the beef patty wasn’t smashed. It was a thick cut with absolutely no favor. The sauce in it was meager and added zero flavor. The onions were not cooked through so it did not impart the nice expected sweet flavor. They invest $$$ on the place but then don’t execute because they hire low-paid cooks with no training or passion. The veggie fajitas were a joke. A handful of undercooked bell peppers and a joke of a table spoon of cream and avocado on the side with store bought tortillas. Lastly, it was a very slow day but the waitress couldn’t get a basic order of a white wine I ordered. After 30 minutes of waiting I asked her about my wine and she said; oh sorry, I forgot to put it in. So to pacify me they brought out the most disgusting cup of red wine (I’d imagine its what a $6/bottle wine taste like). It was on the house but it was so bad I left it behind.

Really great idea for a restaurant! Love the decor. Food is really good (also love the throwbacks to Vynl on the menu). Staff is always very friendly.

The food here is so good. They even have the El Centro Chilaquiles, they taste pretty much the same. I would definitely recommend.

My order: $10 bacon egg and cheese sandwich, with a side of homemade French fries. My condiments are ketchup and siracha mayo
Beverage: water and cappuccino with oat milk and vanilla
Staff are friendly and professional, the ambiance is extremely great. Bathroom are well maintained minus the paper towel dispenser. Every patrons looks satisfied as well as me. Although as I sit here zoning out staring into the empty space next to a group of cool friends to my right; I am a bit extremely in a deep dark depression.. got a bit teary eyed.. The food is good. Not much else to say.
The food is delicious. It's a fun vibe! They have great choices on menu from all of the successful restaurants this group has previously owned. John and his wife really know how to create great friendly atmospheres in their places and the food is always delicious!

Walking past with my cousins, the restaurant caught our eyes. Growing in a family who've owned bodegas since as long as I can remember, it actually gave nostalgia. We had to go inside. Past the exterior, nothing about it had bodega vibes. The frozen drinks were awful. Whoever came up with the concept is not from NYC and I doubt has ever stepped into an actual bodega. It felt very... appropriating. It was slighty uncomfortable. The service was great though.

Service here is great. The food is delicious, we had the cheeseburger eggrolls and the upstate burger. Highly recommend. And the craft beers on tap were awesome too, the Wave Table IPA was great. Definitely coming back again!
