“This establishment is everything! From the time I entered the service was impeccable. I had the seared Bass w/Copolini and the Crab Spring Rolls. 5 stars, a must when in NYC.“

“One of New York’s hidden secrets. Not to be missed.“

“Food and drinks were absolutely delicious and the staff was lovely! So patient and attentive, would definitely go back again.“

“Krissa was amazing!!!! our area was empty when we arrived, and Krissa was very attentive. THEN, the place was PACKED, and she continued to be the attentive, calm, lovely person as she was from the beginning! Hope she will be there when we come back, because we will!“

“The autumn salad was amazing!!“

“Most amazing seafood. Go for happy hour. Get all the oysters. The lobster pasta made my husband weak in the knees. He won't stop talking about the olive brine Bloody Mary. THE BEST.“

“Finally went to Moono and it delivered. Each dish held its own with unique flavors. We had a la carte among four of us with a bottle of makeoli and were happily filled with 1 appetizer and 3 entrees. We ordered an extra bowl of white rice which is the move as so many dishes had excellent sauces that you just wanted to soak up with rice, plus the white rice itself is perfect with a sweetness to it.

We had Hoe Muchim + Kim, Beef Hotpot, Mushroom Sotbap, and Galbijjim. It was outstanding from the cold cucumber soup at the beginning to the end. Beef hotpot is great for those who appreciate that pure beef taste and experience- it is lightly seasoned and in my opinion a great contrast to the big flavors of Galbijjim. Galbijjim is a crowd pleaser and easy to enjoy, it is a most indulgent version with meat removed from the bones. We only wished the dish were layered with more vegetables / mushrooms, which were not side characters in this dish. Sotbap was fragrant - only wished that they scooped out the crispy bits, which are the best parts. Maybe they can offer guests the option to serve themselves rather than take away and return with the scooped out bowls for each person.

Also would love to see more makgeolli options on the drinks menu.

Can’t wait to return!“

“We went for my friend's birthday and had a wonderful experience. We both ordered pre-theater specials. I had calamari, chicken parmesan, and cheesecake. My friend had meatball appetizer, steak, and cheesecake. Both were terrific! And we ended the day with bonus cheesecake to take home for his birthday (and we got a song fest too!).“

“My review is based on a party of 1pax (myself).

Very welcoming and cozy, modern Thai restaurant with the South East Asian flare you'd be looking for if having visited Thailand before. Decor is a mix of modern and traditional which gives a nice feel, ambiance is relaxed.

I was greeted with friendly & warm smiles and seated at the spacious bar area where Yatika helped me decide food/drink choices. I can vouch for the excellent food quality and selection (Northern Thai & Bangkok) having ordered Khanom Jeen Nam Ngiao & Tom Kha soup

Shout out to Yatika for the excellent service and making your patrons feel welcomed and wanting to come back! I'd highly recommend and will definitely be back when coming through the city. Double 👍👍“

“Nōksu is incredible! Every dish looks amazing and tastes even better — full of unique flavors that really stand out. The service is super friendly and professional, and the whole experience feels special without being too fancy. It’s one of those places you’ll keep thinking about after you leave. Definitely worth it! 🍽️✨“

“Amazing food with great prices. This was one of the best meals I had in NYC and I left very happy.

The place is nice and the food is authentic Egyptian food.

Service is very friendly, only minor things is the water, I wish it was served from the beginning and that we did not have to always ask for it!

Apart from this, this place is outstanding and 100% recommended.“

“I had a wonderful time, the food was delicious, strong drinks. Plenty of food, beautiful restaurant. Definitely worth it. Plus we got a little loud and they were fine with it. Didn’t feel threatened lol“

“Had a lovely meal to celebrate my 50th birthday, the food was so good and the service was fantastic, I would highly recommend“

“I have to say for the small amount of food the prices are a bit high.
The calamares were good, but the cheese plate i wasn't happy with it. They gave me 3 very tiny thin slices of hard white cheese, 1 very small brie, 2 dry pieces of white bread, 1 dry piece of priciutto and what I mostly did not like was the 2 slices of mortadella meat. They could have given a better meat choice also instead of dry bread water crackers would be a better choice.
That's just cheap meat to me. Usually when I order a charcuterie plate I am satisfied. This was not satisfying.
My husband had the burger he said it was OK.
Nothing to brag about.
The Tin building inside has a nice vibe.
Other than that I felt like when I was in France. Very little food with high prices.
The server was kind.“

“amazing authentic chinese food“

“We lived in nyc for 30 years. Recently moved to DE. God only knows how much we miss the nyc culture. Nothing holds a candle to it. Thank you Aaron for such a delightful lunch today at your restaurant. Best Manhattan I’ve had in a long long time! You were so attentive and accommodating. Service the best! Thank the kitchen for the great food also! Will be back soon with our nephew and his spouse!“

“Just went here with my mom and it was great. We got the tuna tartare as an appetizer and it was sooooo good and fresh 🤤🤤. For entrees she got their clam pasta and loved it, and I got their special scallops which were super tasty!! It was a little noisy but personally I didn’t really care. Overall great service and the food was delicious!!! (They also gave us some free pound cake at the end which was nice)“

“"Outstanding food and presentation. The service was fantastic, especially from the hostess“

“service and food was amazing“

“Came here on 10/17/25, service was amazing, dishes were to die for and drinks were amazing. Everything is so good and I definitely recommend coming here. If you come here please try the meringue angel foodcake, trout and cotton candy drink. FYI: THE WHOLE COURSE TAKES 2 TO 3 HOURS SO BE READY TO WAIT. In general though this restaurant is amazing! 🔥👌🔥“

“Wow!!! Very impressive, everything fresh, delicious & huge servings. I had chicken tenders, my mom had fried shrimp ,we both had with sweet potato fries that had a slight syrupy taste which were amazing, we got hush puppies and calamari to split..both great..we ate and still have plenty left for a full meal.. also have a seperate full bar, frozen drinks, tv's etc service was also great ..I definitely recommend ...oh and great prices“

“Amazing service and oysters!!“

“Rebecca's is one of the best servers I've ever seen.“

“I absolutely love this restaurant! The quality of the fruits and vegetables is outstanding—always fresh, vibrant, and clearly sourced with care. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared, but the standout for me is the pork braised dish. It’s rich, tender, and packed with deep, savory flavor that melts in your mouth. You can really taste the time and skill that goes into it. This place never disappoints.
Noise level is average for a NYC area restaurant and service spot on (we were a table of 15 for a birthday, not easy to serve even with a pre fix menu!!)“

“Nice atmosphere, very professional and friendly staff. Best caviar and great gourmet food selections.“

“This restaurant has the best service I’ve experienced in a long time. Our server was attentive, polite, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. He name is Jamil! They offered helpful suggestions, checked in regularly, and made us feel welcome. The food was also fantastic, and the overall atmosphere was warm and comfortable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for excellent service and a great dining experience.“

“The vibe was all that! The staff was amazing! The food...out of this world! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Great food and drinks! A big pricey, but worth it!“

“Food and service was excellent. Service was out of this world. Can't wait to go again“

“Fabulous atmosphere and excellent food“

“Loved this place!!! Highly recommended!!!!“

“We had a nice experience here. My steak was very good, I really did enjoy it. My husband things his dish dish was also pleasant. At first our waiter was a bit stiff and stand offish but he opened up and was professional. The location is beautiful and so is the space. I wouldn’t make a special trip to go back here specifically but if I’m in the mall again, I wouldn’t be opposed to it. It’s quality service and food, expensive but it’s NYC.“

“Best Latin fusion joint in South Brooklyn“

“I've been in New York for a week. I've tried many different places and this is the first time I got exactly what I ordered and it was not only really good but also more food then I expected.“
