I went in this place trying to find ham bread (Pan de Jamon) which is traditional in Venezuela for the holidays. I went on January 2nd and they had 1 loaf left. When I asked how old it was they he guy said it was from December 31st but it was still good, so 3 days old. The bread wasn’t bad, the taste was still good but of course not like freshly baked bread. The price of that bread was $35 which isn’t bad if it was fresh, but 3 day old bread should have a discounted price. Also, he sells all Ven

This bar got great service and their mixed cocktails are amazing. The events that normally take place on Friday and weekends are super fun and is a great place to have a blast with your friends. Vibes are great and Ricky the bartender is super friendly.

recently stumbled upon a hidden gem of a bubble tea shop on 8th Avenue in Brooklyn: I tried a few different options, and honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them 👇 🍊 Orchid Green Tangerine Lemon (Green Tangerine & Lemon Tea) A truly refreshing contender!! The zesty tang of the green tangerine combined with the lemon cuts 🍇 Orchid Grape Milk Tea (Green Grape Iced Milk Tea) The green grape flavor is incredibly fresh. The milkiness isn't heavy or cloying; the whole drink goes down very smoo

4/5 Special Rice Roll: the purple glutinous rice had such QQ chew, so satisfying! Personally for me the filling was a bit mayo heavy, and would have loved more pork floss. Very generous with the veggies tho! This would make for a great small and compact lunch option, and love that they are made to order.

I grew up with Mr.Q’s! Solid flavors. The drinks are good for the price. The fried food is crispy and savory. I’m surprised by the low reviews. It does a feel a bit too pricy when everything gets calculated and sometimes the service is bad.

I saw this place on Instagram and decided to try their food. I came with my son and ordered a takeout set for three. The portion was large. They gave us chicken strips, wings and drumsticks, as well as pork and beef. Everything looked appetizing, but once we started eating, it was a complete disappointment. The chicken was clearly spoiled and sour — absolutely inedible. The beef was dry and overcooked, and the pork was excessively fatty. My son only ate some rice, fries, and a little bit of th

Chow mein, egg rolls & other typical Chinese dishes round out the menu at this simple counter-serve.
Consistently good inexpensive takeout. The combo plates are my go-to, cheap and enough food for two meals. The dining area isn’t anything special but I only ever order takeout so that doesn’t matter. Lots of people say they catch an attitude from staff but I’ve never experienced that. They’re just keeping it moving.

Great bubble tea here even tho the store is shared with a cell phone store. Usually not busy at any time of the day. The staffs are nice and friendly. Atmosphere feels comfortable, there are also seats to hang out and drink your bubble tea. Overall good small place.

I was here the other day with my family and it was a very nice environment. The food and drinks were great. Very authentic taste which is what I’m always looking for better than restaurants in the city. Our waitress Wendy was very nice and attentive. I recommend this spot especially big groups. I will be coming back ! Loved it

A fantastic neighbourhood gem that was buzzing even on a freezing Tuesday night—true testament to Chef Jay and his incredible team. We had the chance to sample a wide variety of dishes, and every single one delivered a delightful twist. From roti tagliatelle to biryani arancini, just when you thought you knew what you were about to taste, there was always a pleasant surprise waiting. Creative, comforting, and absolutely worth the visit.

The service was great. The person behind the counter was super friendly and personable. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this is a place to get bagels. What’s surprise me first is the price. They are charging $14 for half a dozen bagels - so a little less than $2.50 per bagel, which is uncomfortably high for me. I was willing to try them because it was my first time there and I was expecting like a phenomenal bagel experience. When I got home and tried one, my take was that it’s way too b

The lady at the counter is always rude. I ordered something small to try the food first before I make a bigger purchase but definitely will never come back again. I wanted a quiet bite to eat but this lady and her other 2 family members/ coworkers were extremely loud in their language. The egg roll tasted weird.

Food was very tasty, just a tad bit oily for my preference. Ordered 3 dishes for 3 people and would say that it was super filling. It gave a sense of nostalgia in the way it tastes homemade and fresh (crab on blue crab dish was a dead crab, only downside) would not recommend the blue crab dish as they gave a mushy dead crab, but the fried rice under it was something that made up for it. ordered the sweet and sour pork rice and the seafood rice cake which were both excellent. Overall had a good e

I’ve been coming to this spot on and off for the past 4 years, their roast pork is hit or miss. Their flavor is the best around 8th Ave, but they really need to keep it tasting amazing consistently… Also, they like to block the scale they use to weigh the meat so you can’t see the weight and price, what’s up with that? It’s been like this for as long as I can remember…

This was the first time my hubby and I ordered breakfast from here through seamless. It was just one of those days you just don’t want to make anything and let me tell you… I’ve never been more impressed and happy with that choice. This is Deli food elevated! The portion is incredible and worth every cent you spend here. First of all, this is the first time I see pictures that actually match in real life. Love the creativity of the names(kind of why I order the Papi) but the name matches the oh

I don’t know why this place got such bad rating. We tried it and we loved it so much! The fried dough stick 油条is crispy and freshly deep fried! And the rice roll with beef is tender and tasty. Not a fan of the scallion pancake, the sweetness with saltiness makes it taste a little bit awkward. The lady who takes order is nice and friendly, not rude at all like some other reviews say. I’ll definitely come back to try other dishes and pastry.

The restaurant is located in the Sunset Park section of Brooklyn. They prepare primarily Japanese cuisine. Several tables are available for dining in but there are no servers. Soups 🍲, appetizers, entrees, bento boxes, ramen noodles, Korean chicken wings, beverages and desserts 🍨 are on the menu. I ordered the steamed pork soup dumplings, Hong Kong black gold egg yolk buns, eel bento box and salmon teriyaki bento box. The food was very good and well-prepared. Friendly and helpful staff.

I got a smoothie, popcorn chicken, and fries for under $20! Everything tasted super good and very fresh. The milk tea is also super good and refreshing. The environment is super calming too. I will definitely be coming back!!!

I walked in here because I was hungry and wanted something quick. This was NOT the place for that. I ordered a simple 3 bbq meat over rice and you know thats a quick dish to make. I literally see the chef walk out 5min after my order got put in. He didnt come back until someone else ordered a takeout about 20min later (I was about to cancel my order and leave). When I finally got my food, all the meat was dry and hard. No one came to refill water. No one checked on the food. No one came to bring

stumbled upon this randomly on a super cold night, space is very new and clean and their individual hot pot hit different!! I've never tried self-serve and self-pick individual hot pot style like this before and it was delicious! I got the tomato soup base, and you get to pick out your own hot pot ingredients from the shelf and a choice of noodle, it was a huge portion and super filling (I had to split it into 3 meals). And this big bowl is only $13-14! Service was super attentive and friendly,

If you’re looking for authentic flavors, Mr. Duck is a must-visit. The signature roast duck was the star of the show—perfectly rendered fat, incredibly crispy skin, and juicy, tender meat. We also tried the [insert dish name, e.g., plum sauce or bao buns], which complemented the richness of the duck perfectly. You can tell the chefs prioritize traditional techniques. Highly recommended for anyone craving a high-quality meal
