Mama Yoshi Mini Mart 17-11 Grove St, Ridgewood Japanese • $$

“Traveled from out of town to see a friend but also maybe mostly to eat the spicy chicken katsu that I’ve dreamt of since Mini Mart/Mama Yoshi’s used to be a pop up at All Night Skate and we would go sit outside in the cold and enjoy the food and a cocktail. Moved out of reach in 2022 and my life has not been complete without the sandwhich I’ve evangelized across several countries and continents. Thankfully as spicy or at least close to as spicy as it has always been. Thanks for keeping the quality and quantity the same and the prices really much closer than I expected. And sick merch per usual.”

“Got the VCR 16 pie. The Cesar salad with chicken cutlet and parm garlic bread sticks. Pizza was definitely above average a smash between old world and modern style. Thin crust but not to thin. Bread sticks were classic the side garlic butter sauce is a nice complement.

The Cesar salad is as advertised incredible. 100% recommend. Dressing and cheese is perfect.
On 4 stars for service because they didnt have to go utensils at all, even when asked.
Atmosphere seemed pretty good though I did take out.”

Roxana Gourmet inc 66-78 Fresh Pond Rd, Ridgewood Fast Food • $

“Wonder has been one of our most consistent go-tos. Pickup is usually easy, the system works, the space is clean, and the food has honestly surprised me from day one. When they first opened, it felt like every order was dialed in, like the kitchen cared.

I’ve tried a ton of the menu and there are staples I keep coming back to: the salmon is always generously portioned and perfectly cooked, the sauces and capers are on point, and the broccolini is genuinely one of the best sides I’ve had anywhere - that char + acidity goes with everything. Even the simple stuff like fries and potatoes hit when they’re done right.

That’s why I’m leaving this review: lately I’ve had a stretch of 5-6 orders with small misses that didn’t used to happen - missing toppings, uneven pizzas, a pizza with a huge bubble, broccolini missing the lemon dressing, stuff like that. Not enough to stop ordering, but enough that it makes me stick to the “safe” items instead of exploring.

Still a big fan, still ordering regularly, just hoping the consistency snaps back to how it was because Wonder at its best is hard to beat.”

“The best restaurant in the area ... food, service, drinks, and ambience!!!”

4.8 Superb230 Reviews

“Here’s a polished, clearer, and more composed version of your review while keeping the strong sentiment and message intact:

This place is nowhere near authentic Cuban cuisine — not even if it were sitting right next to Havana. What they call Ropa Vieja is basically just beef stew. There’s absolutely no understanding of Cuban culture, flavors, or hospitality, which makes sense considering they are not Cuban.

When you ask for something as basic and traditional as moro to go with Ropa Vieja, they act like it’s an unusual request and explain that it’s not included. Their “solution” is to mix watered‑down black beans with white rice and whatever else they decide to throw in. It’s not even close.

The décor doesn’t help either. A few cigar boxes here and there, but most of it is Santa Muerte imagery — so, as you can guess, not Cuban at all. I don’t fault anyone for trying, but don’t advertise something you clearly don’t know how to make. Even something as simple and essential as hoja de laurel — bay leaf — is missing entirely, both in sight and in flavor.

Overall, it feels like a place run by young people without the cultural background or culinary knowledge to deliver what they’re selling.

If you want, I can also rewrite it in a more formal, humorous, or sharper tone.”

Our son ordered pork buns and scallion pancakes; they were very filling for him, and he enjoyed them very much. Our daughter got a bowl of chicken shoyu ramen, unfortunately it was too much for her - she enjoyed her noodle soup very much. Husband ordered pork gyoza and chicken yaki ramen, he was very delighted and it tasted great. I went with tonkotsu ramen. All the dishes were well portioned (for their price). Very clean establishment. Also liked the idea that thier sink is outside of the restroom, it is quite brilliant! We also liked thier curtain that were separating the dining area to the restroom. They were rabbit themed, including a mochi making rabbit in the moon. We anticipate our return!”

I’ve tried a ton of the menu and there are staples I keep coming back to: the salmon is always generously portioned and perfectly cooked, the sauces and capers are on point, and the broccolini is genuinely one of the best sides I’ve had anywhere - that char + acidity goes with everything. Even the simple stuff like fries and potatoes hit when they’re done right.

That’s why I’m leaving this review: lately I’ve had a stretch of 5-6 orders with small misses that didn’t used to happen - missing toppings, uneven pizzas, a pizza with a huge bubble, broccolini missing the lemon dressing, stuff like that. Not enough to stop ordering, but enough that it makes me stick to the “safe” items instead of exploring.

Still a big fan, still ordering regularly, just hoping the consistency snaps back to how it was because Wonder at its best is hard to beat.”

As for the actual pizza, it's a great thin slice pizza. The crust is NOT floppy. It's nice and firm and the flavor of the sauce and cheese is amazing”

The whole time I was doubled over and writhing in pain all I could think about was the vanilla flavored yogurt with the m&m sprinkles. It really burns!!.... I can't wait to go back again and get myself another yogurt.... As soon as I'm able to walk.”

La Casita Mexicana 62-36 Forest Ave, Ridgewood Mexican • $$

“My visit to La Casita was beyond excellent! The food was packed with flavor, and the margaritas were absolutely delicious. While the food and drinks alone make this place worth visiting, what truly stood out was the service.

Neyra and Omar were amazing. Neyra was our server, and together they worked seamlessly as a team, making sure we were taken care of from start to finish. Their attentiveness and hospitality made the experience even more enjoyable.

After that first visit, La Casita quickly became one of my family’s favorite spots, and we find ourselves coming back often. Highly recommend!”

Dashi Noodle House 66-41 Fresh Pond Rd, Ridgewood Ramen • $$

“We came by (and had always wanted to since before they opened) for our wedding anniversary. We were a party of four (my husband, our son, daughter, and I), we were promptly seated in the back (they asked where we wanted to sit). Our waiter was very courteous and friendly. Our son ordered pork buns and scallion pancakes; they were very filling for him, and he enjoyed them very much. Our daughter got a bowl of chicken shoyu ramen, unfortunately it was too much for her - she enjoyed her noodle soup very much. Husband ordered pork gyoza and chicken yaki ramen, he was very delighted and it tasted great. I went with tonkotsu ramen. All the dishes were well portioned (for their price). Very clean establishment. Also liked the idea that thier sink is outside of the restroom, it is quite brilliant! We also liked thier curtain that were separating the dining area to the restroom. They were rabbit themed, including a mochi making rabbit in the moon. We anticipate our return!”

“Here’s a polished, clearer, and more composed version of your review while keeping the strong sentiment and message intact:

This place is nowhere near authentic Cuban cuisine — not even if it were sitting right next to Havana. What they call Ropa Vieja is basically just beef stew. There’s absolutely no understanding of Cuban culture, flavors, or hospitality, which makes sense considering they are not Cuban.

When you ask for something as basic and traditional as moro to go with Ropa Vieja, they act like it’s an unusual request and explain that it’s not included. Their “solution” is to mix watered‑down black beans with white rice and whatever else they decide to throw in. It’s not even close.

The décor doesn’t help either. A few cigar boxes here and there, but most of it is Santa Muerte imagery — so, as you can guess, not Cuban at all. I don’t fault anyone for trying, but don’t advertise something you clearly don’t know how to make. Even something as simple and essential as hoja de laurel — bay leaf — is missing entirely, both in sight and in flavor.

Overall, it feels like a place run by young people without the cultural background or culinary knowledge to deliver what they’re selling.

If you want, I can also rewrite it in a more formal, humorous, or sharper tone.”

The drinks were enjoyable, and the outdoor setting gave the party a nice neighborhood feel. It’s not always easy to find a venue that works well for both kids and adults, but Willows Tavern did a great job.

707 Deli & Grill 60-59 Myrtle Ave, Ridgewood Deli • $

“Love this bodega! Living around the corner, I’ve been coming since they opened, and I’m so grateful to have a bodega on the block, especially one that’s open 24/7. I don’t love all the changes since the new ownership, but it’s not that huge of a deal. Would love it if they started selling some fresh produce like avocados, and pre-cut fruit cups, and ESPECIALLY more vegetarian+vegetarian protein options in the deli and bring back the selection of lactose-free canned coffees. I just need some healthy options that align with my dietary needs 😩 there’s not even dairy-free ice cream.

The food is decent—it’s a bodega so keep your expectations in check. Very generous with the portions! Could do a better job listening, as frequently enough there’s at least one incorrect aspect to my order.

Someone posted a review a month ago and mentioned being judged for using EBT, but they haven’t accepted EBT as payment in several months now, so I’m not sure if they’re straight up lying or if this was something that happened a long time ago. I’ve never had anything but super friendly service and never once felt judged for using EBT, in fact there was one time I didn’t know I could use my EBT on a specific product and they did me a major solid and let me know. Plus, the person working the counter is usually watching shoppers pretty closely. Not to say the reviewer definitely is lying, it’s just the details don’t add up.”
