I was recommended to stop by this place for lunch. It was everything I expected and more. I'm from Miami born and raised and I've been craving good Caribbean food. Island Bites delivered! 100% recommend. I had the stew chicken with the rice & beans and a side order of fried plantains. The hot sauce w/ bonnet peppers was also another nice layer to add a touch of. Thank you

Pineapple moss and spicy beef patty were both on point. Everything was fresh and hit the spot. Service was really fast, especially with just one person working. Solid spot in Harlem, would definitely come back.

Amazing coffee spot! The coffee is rich, bold, and incredibly flavorful—exactly what you want if you love a strong brew. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a great place to relax or catch up with friends. On top of that, the staff are exceptionally friendly and polite, which really elevates the whole experience. Definitely a hidden gem worth discovering!

I was out late working and just wanted something to eat. I strolled into this little place & ordered the special, 2 slices & a can soda. The slices were very big, a bit on the oily side but I thought they were definitely above average. I was really surprised by this place. The ingredients & the slices were worth the price & I've been back a few times.

Yummy City Chinese Restaurant offers delightful BBQ spare ribs with perfectly cooked white rice complemented by a flavorful BBQ sauce. The shrimp and broccoli with white rice are equally impressive. Not only is the food delicious, but it's also budget-friendly. The staff's friendliness enhances the overall dining experience. Highly recommended for a tasty and affordable meal.

Hands down some delicious pizza I just had from this family owned establishment. After coming across one of their videos on tik tok, it’s unfair for businesses especially family owned ones go through a hassle to get any foot traffic due to the new construction of a train station being brought to the area. I had their pepperoni slice and honestly can’t never go wrong with a classic, the crust was perfectly crispy, the sauce being used is rich in flavor, good amount of cheese and pepperoni, altho

Really good juicy fried chicken. Would recommend the korean sweet chili sauce, soy garlic, and the cajun garlic seasoning. Honey butter fries were really good too. Natalia was the cashier and was very friendly and accommodating. We had a lot of requests and she was very helpful. FYI - there are only two tables for indoor seating and about 4 chairs in total. This restaurant is on the second floor inside the food bazaar grocery store.

We ended up coming back to Casa Azul twice during our one-week stay in New York — it was that good. The food was absolutely delicious, authentic Mexican cuisine full of flavor and clearly made with care. Every dish we tried was outstanding. What made the experience even better was the impeccable service: professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. It’s rare to find a place that gets both the food and hospitality so right. Highly recommended if you’re looking for real

This pizza is alright and not $0.99 as shown in the name.I ordered a slice of cheese pizza for $2 and the pizza was crispy.This Is not a place I would go to if I want high-quality pizza but a place if hungry and want something quick to eat at night.

The horchata came out and tasted like it had not be strained. Super chalky and just leaves a bitter after taste. It was 5pm and a Sunday and we were the only table, I haven’t seen a wait staff so focused on prepping to go home at 5pm on a Sunday night when they close at 10pm. I got the enchiladas. The first bite was pure cartilage. Followed by the second bite. They use leg and thigh meat but weren’t careful at all when shredding it. I took two bites and I was done I told them and they didn’t c

HAND MADE corn or flour TORTILLA on the spot! Friendly prompt service. Super CLEAN! annnnd authentically delicious (I’ve traveled to Mexico twice). All meat is grilled - pork on vertical spit too. After a stint in LA, great tacos and homemade horchata are hard to find in east coast. This one is a rare gem with amazing service. Bau the chef hooks it up! Dine in bonus- the music is authentic, nothing corny nor annoying. Also - try the VOLCAN!

My first time getting a juice from this chain, and I’m very pleased. I wanted something refreshing like a juice but I was also super parched and asked for a cup of water and they gave me one without hesitation. The juice was super delicious and refreshing, ice cold and super flavorful. I got the Feel Good and I recommend it. I will be back!

Got 2 orders here one was chicken wings with pork fried rice and the other Spare Ribs with pork fried rice. The rice was good had a lot of soft pork pieces and lots of onions and sprouts which I requested. The chicken wings taste like many of NYC Chinese restaurants so were tasty! The ribs were surprisingly soft and also tasty. The lady that takes your order was friendly and helpful. The restaurant is clean and decent for a takeout spot.

Excellent, all around! I ordered 4 dozen Pudgies several months ago as dessert/take-aways for my husband's birthday party. They were wrapped beautifully, and they were a great hit. This Thanksgiving found me recovering from a surgery, so I needed a bit of help with dinner. I ordered some sides, including Mac and Cheese, Cornbread Stuffing, Red-Skinned Mashed Potatoes and some Gravy. All Delicious, and delivered the day before with simple instructions. Many Thanks to Evelyn's Kitchen and their wo

I walked in and was interested in their buffet, build your own plate. However, when I was looking at the selection. I saw a man eating mac and cheese with the serving spoon and his hands. The manager then came over and said something to the guy, but ignored the hand-to-food contamination, and the serving spoon was placed back in the mac and cheese. This is very unsanitary. I decided not to eat from the food display, and I recommend doing the same. Order from behind the counter, I'm assuming it's

Such a bright, clean, and welcoming café! The space feels warm and cheerful, and the staff were incredibly kind and friendly. The coffee was excellent — smooth, flavorful, and honestly one of the best I’ve had in the neighborhood. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel comfortable, whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee or sitting for a few minutes to relax. I definitely recommend it and would happily come back.

Casual restaurant offering Mexican fare, including design-your-own burritos, tacos & bowls.
Came in for a bowl and was told they were out of regular bowls. Instead, they were serving food in much smaller square containers that were clearly about half the size, but still charging full price. We were told more bowls were coming, but the wait was 20–30 minutes despite the store being nearly empty. What made this more frustrating was seeing that regular-size bowls were still being used for online/takeout orders, while in-store customers were expected to wait or accept less food. If bowls

1st and last time I’ll order from here. My beverages were forgotten (they were on the receipt I had purchased them) Their quesadilla which I didn’t take a pic of was pretty bad & their wings were eh. I def. wouldn’t suggest their garlic parmesan flavor. They at least noticed I wanted extra celery sticks lol and their waffle fries were well fried and not soggy.

Chinese restaurant and bought food that was cooked with a bit of respect for the customer. You cook your food as if you hate your customer or your life. The neighborhood is surrounded by projects and many characters including a hospital…. But try better because I just wanted to eat something descent and not waste my money. Please buy

Then I hear coughing, I turn around the guy isn't wearing a mask and coughing over my food, he finishes my order brings it to the front where the cashier uses his bare hand and pushes the excess food into the container closes the container and acts as if this is okay.. Eat there at the risk of not getting sick, up to you.. By the way, I paid first and was so disgusted I told them to keep it and just w

10/10!!! Me and my sis went here for the first time after seeing it on social media. I’m pleasantly surprised. Black woman owned, delicious vegan food, wonderful customer service, and beautiful space. We had the fried chicken meal with greens and jerk mac, empanadas, and the oxtail meal. I’ve been vegan about 6 years and the mac is one of the best I’ve ever had. My sis isn’t vegan and said the fried chicken was super convincing. I literally can’t wait to come back. Run don’t walk!

Came here from a post on Reddit. While the menu isn’t super super large. Covers the classics. And honestly probably best it’s small so they can hone in on really making delicious stuff. Finally some decent NY Chinese food in East Harlem. Sometimes I want comfort food! 3 combos for 27 dollars. Some of the best Sesame chicken ever. Quick and kind service. Clean.

I live in the area and today was my 1st time going there. I know.. Crazy, but the donuts were fresh, my kids liked the ice cream. The only issue we had, was the latte and ice coffee. They had a weird taste to it.. My daughter said hers had a salty taste to it. I did go back to the counter and they made new ones with no problem, which did come out way better.

A hole in the wall restaurant for those that are brave and love sketchy places. The most disappointing thing was that the food I ordered was mediocre. The piping wasn't amazing and I had a strange feeling the cheese stuffed jalapeños were taken straight out of the freezer. The place only has 3 tables. I wish I could have tried the other dishes. They had pancita/menudo.

This cozy Harlem bar has such a warm, inviting neighborhood atmosphere with beautiful wood details, comfortable seating, and a relaxed, homey vibe. Cocktails were creative and well-balanced (the smoked old fashioned and the citrus gin fizz were highlights). The short rib tacos and truffle fries were delicious. Staff were genuinely friendly and attentive. The total was around $25-40 per person. A true local gem!

Easily the worst Taco Bell, and a horrendous experience we’ve had regularly. They forget items, give the wrong items, the phone number listed does not work/no one picks up, ordered are delayed sometimes double or triple the estimates listed on the app, and the washroom has been out of order for at least 2 straight years now. It’s incredible how little they care about customers. Broken order screens and a business that steals your money without providing anything in return every single time. I’m

During this winter when the wind is disrespectful and your hands are frozen, the Signature Hot Chocolate at Sugar Hill Creamery is exactly what you need. It’s a rich, velvety, chocolate that’s not overly sweet. And that perfectly roasted marshmallow on top? Unreal. It slowly melts into the cup, adding a smoky, nostalgic layer that makes every sip feel indulgent and intentional. This is not powdered mix energy. This is real, handcrafted hot chocolate. And to make matters better, Sugar Hill Crea

Cheery counter-serve branch doling out rice & noodle bowls with Asian-style proteins & veggies.
A decent fast food spot with healthier options and good food. I really like the chicken and sauce, and so for me this place hits the spot regularly. It’s maybe slightly slow and perhaps the food can be a little inconsistent but usually I find it is a healthy portion of chicken, well sauced, no issues. I wish they offered more vegetables, but for the price and serving size it’s good value and fast.

Do you have a black book filled with eating delights? I do and Cafe D'Anvers is in it. So when Laura wanted to meet me to celebrate my birthday, I made a reservation. Located in East Harlem, the subway took me to 103rd Street. A steep hill fortified my appetite. Cafe D'Anvers is easy to spot with it's inviting red exterior. Laura was at the table. Jackie greeted us cheerfully. We came here for Moules Frites which we ordered and a glass of Sancerre to wash it down. Two large kettles were put down

Excellent chicken wings, fried rice, and hot and sour soup! Everything was packed with flavor and perfectly seasoned. The chicken wings were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and had just the right amount of seasoning. The fried rice was fresh, savory, and not greasy at all—every bite had great texture. The hot and sour soup was rich, balanced, and comforting with a nice kick. Overall, a delicious meal with consistently great taste. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!

The quality of the chicken wings was disappointing. They were not marinated at all and were excessively salty, likely because they had been pre-cooked and simply fried. As for the burger, it had way too much ketchup, making it overly sour. When I called to express my concerns, I felt ignored; they told me they had another customer in front of them and couldn’t talk at the moment. They also mentioned that they only fry the chicken and don’t add any seasonings.

I order their short rib bowl, which is an additional $13. At that price point I don't expect to get thin sliced ribs with a lot of excessive fat. My son orders from here and they are usually good. But when you go from additional $8 to $13, you need to make sure customers are getting their monies worth, and trim the fat.... especially in this economy.

We had Chile Rellenos that was piping hot and scrumptious, I cut it before the woman of my dreams photographed it. Then we had Shrimp Tostadas and they were just delicious. Crispy and Yum.

Casual counter-serve chain for build-your-own sandwiches & salads, with health-conscious options.
Never ever order from this location. I put "More" with salads but I've never seen a subway sandwich this thin and meat? Don't even talk about it, they are putting much less than they should compared to other locations. There's a different Subway nearby. Go there. Really dishonest business practice. I should have opened it right there because it was feeling much lighter than usual but wow this location is horrible. Again, dishonest. This place should go out of business.
