10 Best New Restaurants in Rochester

“most lovely experience I’ve had in a restaurant for a long time! Even though I ordered out, the service was amazing and the owner is the sweetest fella! This business absolutely deserves to succeed, and the food is stellar as well.The varenyky didn’t last me long because it was so good that I ate it in the car immediately! As someone who hasn’t tried Ukrainian food before, this meal was a perfect blend of sourness and savoriness that it makes you want more. the dill on top is an amazing addition as well “

“Xzavien was working this afternoon when I picked up meals and was so welcoming and explained all of the different options and gave great recommendations. The meals I’ve tried previously were great so I came back to try more and I’m looking forward to continuing to enjoy delicious, proportioned meals without needing to cook.“

“We "ate in" at this small but bustling restaurant. it appears that many of the orders were to-go. The food was freshly prepared and quickly delivered To our table, the three men behind the counter were extremely busy, preparing food and taking orders. My husband had the vegetarian platter and I had the dolma platter both served with huge fluffy pita bread. The pita bread is one of the best I've had. my Dolma platter, came with a small Greek salad, and a little scoop of hummus. The dolma were very good as they were spiced. There was a drink case, but not much of a variety of drinks. However, they did have some exotic ones. There was also baklava and takeout containers. I think they should use reusable tableware when you're dining in instead of a packet of small plastic utensils, so I think they are really a to go operation. The food was served on dinner plates so they must have a way of washing things. This is a good stop for a quick meal or a takeout.“

“im a door dash driver and yesterday they were giving out free lemonades to all the drivers and it was delicious you can tell it was home made not to sweet and not too sour, they environment and the staff were great. the cooks seemed to enjoy their job and the customer service was great as “

“We had been waiting for weeks for this taco spot to open, and wow did it deliver! The tacos were delicious. We got an assortment of steak, chicken and al pastor tacos to go. They added bonus chips and a selection of salsas in our takeout bag. We also got horchata, which was fantastic. All came to $20 for 4 large tacos, horchata, and chips and salsa. Great value. The tacos were flavorful and filling. Healthy and fresh. No food coma after. They were perfectly seasoned and flavorful (not salty, not greasy). We're thinking about going back this weekend for the breakfast burrito. Everything was delicious!“

“This place is nothing short of amazing. The food, drinks, atmosphere, and the staff are top tier. I would highly recommend their smash burger (make it extra fancy), their latke frites, and any of their craft cocktails (though puttin' on the razz is my favorite!).“

“This place is amazing right on the river with beautiful views and great food I had the Philly burger it was amazing ! My wife had the country roc chicken it was so good and to top it off we had the peanut butter pie ? we will be back can’t wait for the summer outside bar !“

“My wife and I came to this place on accident. We walked by this on the way to somewhere else. I said let’s check this place out. Omg. The Cuban and the apple waffle are amazing. The owner Ricky is just as amazing as the food. Stop driving by and check this place out. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Pizza Krunch is a fantastic new pizzeria. Some of the best Brooklyn-style slices I’ve had since moving to Roc!I tried the Buffalo, BBQ Chicken, and Veggie. All styles were delicious, the dough had a delicious taste and I’m told it’s made in-house. The service was fast and easy, and enjoy the chicken on both the Buffalo and BBQ.Highly recommend this pizza spot, especially if you’re craving a NYC style slice!“

“Went to sushi samba on a weekday. They had tables open but turned us away due to the amount of people, and we were ok with that! We would definitely prefer that to waiting too long for food. Went back on a weekend and got seated right away. You order on your phone which is convenient! Some of the food came out quickly and was very good! If you are looking for the best sushi in Rochester, that is definitely Shema, but if you want quantity and a unique experience, this is a great place! I think because they make all of their rolls to order that it is a little slower for some things. Overall, we liked this place!“
