I had an amazing time and can’t wait to come back. The staff was super friendly and respectful. They gave us an amazing rate ( went from $160 an hour to just $60 an hour. We got $60 food credit with our food. The food was brought out in abt 10-15 mins from ordering. I got bbq wings and beef skewers. The wings were definitely different than I expected (it’s a dry rub, not a sauce) but it was absolutely delicious. The place was very clean. The liquor is a bit pricey, but when I come back I will s

**MashaAllah!** This is one of the best Bangladeshi restaurants I have ever visited in NYC. The staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional. The food tastes just like a home-cooked meal—fresh, delicious, and made with care. The prices are very affordable, especially during these challenging times. Whenever I eat at many other restaurants, I often feel sick or experience heartburn the next day. However, after eating here, I had no issues at all, which says a lot about the quality

Found a solid spot inside LIC Food Hall — Pho Vital 🍜 They have lots of options and combo meals that are actually worth it. We got the lemongrass chicken rice and grilled pork vermicelli, both super flavorful and surprisingly light. The chicken was so juicy and well marinated, and everything came with fresh veggies on the side. Also tried the warm ginger apple tea and Thai tea — both hit the spot. Perfect place for a refreshing meal when NYC weather gets hot ☀️

I would’ve loved to like this, but it simply wasn’t good. This purple one was supposed to be strawberry vanilla, but there’s nothing inside and it just tastes like frosting. The texture is hard like frosting too. After a couple bites, no one wanted to eat more. I would’ve preferred to buy from a generic cake store instead.

I had an amazing time at Marathon Hong Kong Diner! Their black peppered beef noodles were so flavorful and their noodles were cooked to perfection. The pork cutlet was full of meat and was really good with their curry. The cheese on top was also the perfect combo. I love Hong Kong French Toast and they perfected this dish with the best ratio of bread, condensed milk, and peanut butter inside. I also loved their red bean milk tea. The food was also made so quick! Can’t wait to come back again~
Damaged canned food wasn't set aside and marked 'do not use'.

I got the gut health plate, and I noticed there wasn’t avocado on it, and the staff quickly helped! So filling and good for the price ($10.99)! This is my second time at Pure Eats and I will definitely be back. The atmosphere is great too. I don’t even work out here I just come for lunch mid-work day.

CAREFREE CAFE 🥇🥇 A simple yet elegant cafe situated on a busy bike path. The open doors are very inviting and beckons you to sit down. I passed 30 cafes on the way from Long Island and finally decided to peek inside. One sip of the cappuccino and I was cheerful. The scone was decent too. Really enjoyed sitting here in the calmness, yet observing the busy cyclists cruising pass 😊 Water refill station available 🙏🏻

The popcorn chicken, the spicy wings and original wings are all delicious. Also got an iced lemon tea. Wings are very juicy. The breading is not spicy but the meat close to the bone is spicy. So good! Nice kick. Unfortunately I ordered a 6 piece original wings and only received 4 pieces (was charged extra $3). I ordered the spicy wings as a 4 piece. Update 7/14/25: I went to the store today and informed them of the error. The staff who packs the order was so accommodating. He listened, apologi

Food and Service is the same compared to every other deli. But during hot weather i often hopped in for a cold soda. They have a large selection of cold soda’s. Damn i miss Snapple here in europe.

This place is a joke. I called ahead to ask if vaccines were required for the self-wash service. The male who answered the phone told me NO, so I decided to make the drive. When I arrived, there was no one at the front desk and no clear indication of where to go. I was eventually greeted by a female employee who was extremely rude. She asked if I had a profile, and I explained that I did, but for a different dog. She then told me that vaccines were required for the self-wash service and said t

Good quantity and variety of tasty Chinese food. I order from here at least 2x per week. Just wish they would filter out sauces before scooping into containers and use better quality takeout containers and/or plastic bags. Almost everytime I pick up, the sauce has leaked out of the takeout box into the plastic bag. Tonight the spicy pork sauce leaked out and left a bright orange stain at the bottom of one of my favorite bags. Many dishes are also saturated with oil - oftentimes leaving me feeli

So far it's a nice addition to the neighborhood especially on this side of the bridge. I am mixed on the items I purchased so far but I'm going to try a few more things before I make a final decision. I am not a fan of the Stawberry Birthday Smoothie. I am a sucker for something cute and viral but this just didn't taste great to me and was expensive. I am very excited to try the cafe panna ice cream I purchased. It does come at a hefty price if $18. I had an iced chai that was decent and a Frenc

I ate 2 chicken drumsticks without any flavors on them. Crispy and slightly tough skin. The meat wasn't dry, but it wasn't juicy either. A pretty neutral taste, i assume because it is suppose to have sauce. I give it 3.5 stars. I would eat it again. 2 of my companions found the chicken drumsticks dry and unseasoned. They will not eat it again. My final companion was happy to dip the drumstick in ketchup and devour it. The chicken came out very hot. Took the leftovers home. There is a bathroom

I’ve only been in New York a short time, but no place has compared to this hidden gem. It may be easy to overlook, but do not be fooled, it would be an absolute shame to miss. I ordered a variety of dishes, and with every bite it was clear that each was crafted with the utmost care. The staff greeted us warmly and catered to our every need with genuine hospitality. Chef Simone and Aggie, the manager, were incredibly gracious, and we ended up talking for hours. The rooftop was stunning, offering
