Went to Ferrara late morning during the week when it was not too busy in the cafe. Got a double espresso and a lobster tail, which ran me $6.25 and $12.50 respectively. I'm not sure if the cafe prices are higher than getting it to go, but $12.50 for a lobster tail is beyond overpriced even for a tourist location. This lobster tail was perfection all around.. perfect flaky shell and the cream filling was about the best I've ever had. Made me feel a little better about that price. Friendly service from my server Carmelo. Overall would recommend... just expect to open the wallet

There were tons of things to try here and take to-go. Even had a few dessert forward liqueurs for purchase. Gave the chocolate covered cannoli a try. The shell was less crispy and crunchy than I was hoping for. This could be due to the thick chocolate coating it had to hold. Chocolate was great though. Filling could have had more chocolate chips in our opinion. The lobster tails looked like something to try next time.

Cute place in Little Italy that we found via researching. It came highly recommended by locals for desserts. We stopped in and had coffee and dessert. The staff was super friendly and fun at the dine in section. Everything we had was amazing! Thanks to everyone who recommended it!

I just had to try a New York cheesecake while visiting NYC, and it was fantastic - light and fluffy for a cheesecake. I highly recommend it. However, the gelato I had there was the most expensive I've ever had, and it wasn't worth the price. Lastly, the single aisle for takeaway was very narrow, making it hard for customers to browse and for others to pass through to pay. There's a little sheltered outdoor bench to enjoy your delightful treats if you do not want a full sit-down service inside.

If you're in New York City and have a sweet tooth or a love for Italian pastries, Ferrara Bakery & Cafe is a destination not to be missed. Upon entering, you immediately feel like a kid again. You can order delectable desserts to go or experience a sit-down breakfast that includes all the senses. It's a must-visit for anyone wanting to immerse themselves in the flavors and traditions of Italian baking right in the heart of NYC.

Went out on a Saturday night and had an amazing time. The bartenders were fast and so attentive even though the place was packed, not to mention the drink prices were so reasonable. Loved the music and definitely will be going back soon

Really fun bar, but you guys have a phone thief problem. Both my and my friend's phones were stolen from our bags while dancing and other people I've talked to have either had their phones stolen here or know of someone who has

To start things of --> go there on Friday at 1am that's when you will have the best time there but nevertheless it is always a good place to go as my buddies and I used to say "Let's go Home...... Sweet Home!" (It's an insider now). Great drinks and great dancefloor even that you have an option to hang your coats somewhere without paying even tho you take the risk of them getting stolen but I have been there 5 times and they never got stolen. Age range is quite good, normally it's Collage age but sometimes there are some older people too which is okay I guess. The best thing to say is that the bouncer is nice and sensible. I have experienced a lot of bouncers being a**holes and misusing their power. But the bouncers at Home Sweet Home are likeable. Shout-out.

Food was great value for the price!!! Fried squid was a bit too oily so won’t order it next time. Supposed to be salt pepper fried squid but could not taste the pepper. Salted fish fried rice was oily too and no taste of the salted fish. Other dishes were yummy and portions were large enough! Service was attentive and waiters had a good attitude for a Sunday evening! Atmosphere was peaceful but it would be better with some background music! Overall it is good, I would stay away from the fried dishes as they are too oily.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Congee Village in Chinatown, New York, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and immediately served a comforting pot of tea, which set the tone for the rest of the evening. The food was simply outstanding. Each dish was bursting with flavors that were both rich and delicate, surprising me, especially since I’m not usually a big fan of Chinese cuisine. Congee Village truly changed my perspective. The variety and quality of the dishes we tried were remarkable – everything tasted incredibly fresh and well-prepared. One of the highlights of our meal was the value for money. We were a group of eight, and the portions were impressively large, yet the prices were unbelievably affordable. It’s rare to find such a great combination of quality and quantity at such reasonable prices in New York City. I highly recommend Congee Village to anyone looking for an authentic and delicious Chinese dining experience. Whether you’re a fan of Chinese food or just curious, this place is worth a visit. I’ll definitely be returning!

Delicious ambrosial fantastic dishes. The fish is sooo fresh with the scallions. Clocking the server they don’t serve a good face (cuz it’s a chinese restaurant don’t expect white service) but they made sure you are fed enough food and not over ordering. They gave us a pot of daily soup and dessert for free!

The restaurant is not the cheapest option, but it offers a beautiful dining environment and delicious Cantonese cuisine. It's a must-visit for anyone looking to experience authentic Cantonese flavors. Many Chinese patrons consider it a favorite and return frequently. While it might be a bit pricey, the quality of the food and the overall experience make it worth the visit. If you appreciate fine dining and enjoy exploring different culinary traditions, this restaurant should definitely be on your list.

Overall great food and awesome service. We got half of the garlic chicken, beef chow ho fun , beef fried noodle, bok choy, young fried rice , fried shrimp.

Classic Vietnamese fair in the Chinatown area of downtown NYC. In my opinion, this is the place you want to go if you want a no frills experience, just solid good food. This time I got Shrimp Summer Rolls & the Grilled Pork Rice Vermicelli salad. This is perfect for a hot summer day. All delicious!

Great. Seafood noodle soup was delish so was the fried spring rolls and grilled pork chops. Mango drink and mango smoothie was amazing
Rosey Rodriguez - a month ago

20 years ago, this was one of the better, of the rare Vietnamese spots. This was when non-Asians thought Vietnamese food was Panda Express. Yeah, you did - Karen. It’s rather pedestrian these days, but still solid. No longer a destination, but if in the hood- it’s a relatively cheap option. Prices have practically doubled since I first came here, but so has almost everything else in the city/ world. Price to portion: standard Destination: no Repeat offender: only when I’m in the hood and the craving hits

Good food! Flavorful dishes and fast service. Small Vietnamese joint with reasonable pricing. However feeling a bit bothered - the owner somehow insisted the store was closed and we should leave even though customers at neighboring tables were still eating.

This was my first time here or eating pho in general. The service was quick. My friend recommended pho with roundeye cut of beef. She said it's the perfect way to introduce a new person to pho. She was not wrong. The food was delicious. The plate of veggies was a giant heap of fresh herbs, jalapeños, sprouts and lemon. Springrolls appetizer was crispy and not greasy.

$105 with tip included is relatively cheap for a Michelin restaurant. The dishes were hit or miss. The tomato donut was surprisingly the best while the corn pasta my least favorite. Opposite of my expectations. Great service

This place blew my mind. I was so impressed with the hospitality of the personel, the tasty food and the wines as well. We had the fall menu with the wine pairing. We were there at first day of the fall menu. I wish I could eat that bbq squash every day of my life, and if I could pick one desert for the rest of my life it would be that potato ice cream. The wines were paired perfectly and that funky orange wine sent tingly shivers through my whole body. Best part is, no tipping. I will be coming back here every time I visit NYC.

This was my first experience at a vegetarian only restaurant. I was very excited to try it and looking forward to the tasting menu experience to be able to try many dishes. Each course was smart, creative, tasty, and filling. I didn’t miss the meat at all! I had a seat at the counter so I enjoyed watching the talented chefs cook during my meal. Check it out if you enjoy vegetarian dining. But don’t miss it even if you aren’t strictly vegetarian.
Michael Spain - 4 months ago

Amazing staff and even better food. We got to sit at the chef table and watched them prepare the dishes which was a fun experience. The courses were amazing and I was blown away by the chef treats. The standouts for me were the artichoke and the lasagna. Also the cocktails hit the spot, I thought the tamarind and ginger drink was amazing. Overall I highly recommend, i love finding nice places to bring my vegan girlfriend. One of the better plant focused restaurants I’ve been to.
Sarud Abdennabi - 4 months ago

This restaurant was amazing. As a vegetarian some of the most unique dishes throughout the tasting menu and love that it changes with the season. Staff was excellent and provided some great recommendations particularly the sparkling cider. All the dishes from apps to dessert were so well presented and well creation.

This is a typical hotel lounge and restaurant - not really anything to boast about. The decor was somewhat confused for a restaurant serving mostly Asian fare - it was a bit tiki lounge meets sports bar. My friend and i got there on the later side of the evening, and there was only one other table occupied. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The portions, although well made, were a bit small for the prices. We enjoyed our time there, and we were allowed to linger over our table until closing time. All in all, I would rate the place as a pretty run of the mill hotel restaurant, but with a very kind staff and decent food.

Subpar service. Waiter was not familiar with the menu, couldn't tell me when the fish is shipped in, and had to redo my order because they were out of items. Also took them 45 minutes to serve me edamame (I think he forgot). I was one of 2 tables being served in the restaurant. Tuna was good, yellowtail and salmon were "fishy" (apparently not stored/handled at proper temperature). I won't be back.

Food was amazing, great music and really nice atmosphere. Very very fresh and delicious sushi. Highly recommended

Zest Sushi is a cute casual spot located in the lower east side. Possibly the best sushi happy hour deal I have seen in Manhattan, with a wide variety $6 rolls, appetizers, mini dons, fried rice, and drinks! You can find this deal every day between 4:30-7pm. The sushi is decent for the price, and service is decent as well. Just note, they don’t take reservations and it is walk-in only, so if you want to take advantage of happy hour, you should get there at least around 6pm, with an anticipated 30 minute wait. If you are super picky about your sushi, I wouldn’t recommend this place for you, but otherwise, Zest Sushi makes for an affordable dinner out!

There was scallion ginger and chili crisp on my sashimi. And I'm dipping this in Chinese soy sauce. For those of you who don't understand why that's weird, I guess you're part of the folks who gave this place a high food rating. Don't know if you'll also like finding a scale and salmon bone like I did though. Even the most amateur sushi chef should know how to prepare fish.

This place has become my favourite sushi spot in New York city! They just tick all the boxes in terms of food quality, service and the vibe. I went there for lunch on my wife’s birthday and everything was perfect. Although we wanted to sit outdoors but they were really busy so we had to sit inside. The service was great the food doesn’t take long to order. They also have a great happy hour menu which starts from 4:30 to 7 pm. Make use of their happy hour menu its a bargain. I ordered 2 of the crispy sushi thingy! just ask the server they know what you’re looking for. The octopus tentacle was very good and also the crab salad. The portions are perfect for sharing so i got to taste everything. The beef fried rice is also very good. I will definitely return again to try different items.

Absolutely fantastic food! Everything was so delicious and we can’t wait to go back again! Had the guacamole and house made chips, steak tacos and enchiladas verdes along with a Paloma Margarita. Yum yum yum! Our waiter Justino was fantastic and very personable - can’t wait to go back again! Delicious!

The Al Pastor & Carnitas tacos slapped. Great ambiance and friendly bartender. We loved the tequila infusions and their mezcal list. Wish we saved room for more! We will be back next time we are in town.

We had the classic margarita, tamarind mezcalita, guacamole, tuna tostada and barbacoa (the reason I come here 😋). All delicious and authentic. Service was just ok. Server not as attentive.
Hemala Ramgahan - 6 months ago

Can almost never go wrong with tacos and Barrio Chino didn't disappoint. Arrived on a somewhat busy night without reservation. Outdoor seating was readily available. We had chicken, and steak tacos. You have a choice of ordering two or three tacos. You can only pick one type (chicken, or steak, etc). So we ordered two chicken and two steak tacos and switched one out. Servers were nice and attentive. The tacos came out fast and were delicious.

MEXcellent Just across the street from me is @barriochinony so I had to try it! @stephbarbanell and I got some great food and drinks. I tried the barbacoa (lamb) tacos with pickled onions, chili pepper, and a salsa verde with a side of elote while Steph tried a quesadilla with chorizo topped with slices of avocado. I had a classic margarita and she tried the jalapeño grapefruit one. All was great!! Taco bout a fiesta Theres always a fiesta going on at @barriochinony ! Their tacos are and chips are so great that they’re always busy! I’ve been a few times now and they never disappoint, especially being conveniently located just down the block from me. We ordered chips and guac & salsa roja, steak tacos with avocado, and lamb tacos with red@pickled onions. Such simple meals yet such special flavors

This is comfort food. I've been going here for many years, and this place has not changed, which is a good thing. We ordered Scallion Pancake w. Aromatic Beef, Soup Dumplings with Crab Meat and Pork, and Seafood Pan Fried Noodles. Everything was delicious. Part of me feels like I should try different menu items each time I visit, but I always crave the same dishes. Hopefully I can continue to visit this place for many more years.

My first stop whenever I am in New York. The dumplings, lo mein and fried rice are my favorite but everything here is amazing. Prices are good, service is quick and the food is delicious & hot! Cannot go wrong with this staple!

Stopped by this restaurant while in Chinatown and had a great meal. My party went around early lunch time and there were not a lot of people there. We were seated immediately and service was fast after ordering. Everything we ate was good and if you like soup dumplings, this is the place for you. I enjoyed how it was right off the street, but it was quiet inside. There was a bathroom which was clean, but the steps to get there are a little steep for those with mobility issues. Personally, one of my favorite things was the boba tea I got because in my opinion they make it better than some other places I tried in the same area. Waiter stayed out of the way but was available when needed. Would eat here again.

Their garage is the best I've ever tried. The noodle was also really good I needed to eat everything! However, one of the staff told us to wait outside when we got there while there were plenty of seats inside. The other server came out and asked us why we were waiting outside. I think they need to communicate more effectively. But the food was good and I am going to visit again.

This place had closed down during the pandemic, and I always wanted to try it. Passed by and noticed it was open again. First time coming, and unless you are close to the window seating area, the lighting is very dim throughout. The steamed chicken meatballs had a coating of rice on them, which had an interesting texture. The dragon soba noodles came with nibblets of eel, and the Mera Mera dip soba noodles came with a heat flame to keep the soup warm which was a nice contrast against the cold soba noodles.
Juan Lima - 2 weeks ago

The place is a little congested and I don't know why it is cash only. The only good thing is dip soba noodles and many vegan options on the menu. I wish they kept the option of credit card as well.

First and foremost, this place is cash only! My friend and I entered on a chilly April evening and immediately ordered their Gyokuro green tea to warm up. I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty their veggie gyoza was (#2 on my top list for gyozas). They had a gingery flavor and did not taste like the basic ones you may find elsewhere. Now for the entrée, I got the vegan mera mera soba, and honestly, it's worth the hype. Delicious and savory broth with a great mix of vegetables complement the warm soba. Overall, a cozy vibe. We got the green tea affogato for dessert, and I don't regret that we each got our own. Pouring the green tea over the red bean, mochi, corn flakes, and green tea ice cream was fun to watch, and the tea acted as a flavoring for these dessert bases.
Sainath Dasma - 6 months ago

1. The food is decent, I would only recommend the soba and nothing else. The Stamina Don is not a “Powerful Bowl Dish”or “Gut-Busting, it is bland and not spicy. 2. The portions and taste of the appetizer was not worth the money to try. 3. The service was excellent, they rearranged the seating for our large group in a small restaurant. 4. The atmosphere was nice and homey, on busy days it can become crowded.
