Some excellent Thai dishes in a tiny spot I visited Ricepot Thai Cookhouse a few times in 2025 to enjoy one of my favorite cuisines and write a review. This place excels at delivering Thai cuisine essentials with complex, perfectly balanced flavors. All the mains and soups I tried tasted fantastic and fresh. Great job! The appetizers were fine but unremarkable. Beef preparation definitely needs improvement as it was so tough and chewy that even the waitress acknowledged it. The restaurant has s

I unfortunately forgot to take pics when they were in cute cupcake stands at the party, but they were so beautiful and more importantly DELICIOUS!! They were a success at my daughter's Sanrio themed Sweet 16. This bakery will now be my go-to for all birthdays and big events! Ordering was a breeze, communication was excellent. Cannot recommend this place enough!! You will not be disappointed!

It doesn't get better than this! Had the Pisillo which was Prosciutto DiParma. Porchetta. Buffala Mozz. Roasted Peppers, Arugula with Balsamic Dressing. You choose the bread. Huge portions, easily feeds two. Fastastic place with tons of choices. Don't miss out on this place!

this place was amazing! the owner was super helpful, made sure to let us know our order was going to take a bit longer while we wait for fresh fries, and brought us bowls so we could share. the beef and lamb was perfect and the salad was a refreshing touch

I and my mother visited this wonderful cafe last week while touring around NYC and Brighton, and I must say that these are absolutely the BEST DESSERTS I have ever tried in my life! Crepes with steak and salmon were super big and delicious as well, but desserts are something else! We met the owners, they are very nice people, cooks and hosts :)

Fantastic, elevated seafood counter dining experience. Every seat was filled at about the same time yet the staff handled each group as if you were the only diners. Loved watching the prep of the dishes, like a synchronized dance. Every dish was fantastic. Great wine choices perfect for the food. House sparkling water, so much better than having to pay for bottled. Loved the special acknowledgement of our anniversary as soon as we were seated. Will definitely dine here again, assuming we can act

Amazing food and top-notch service! We had a wonderful time here. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious. Plus, it’s super dog friendly, which made our experience even better. Highly recommend!

The lap cheong mala wrap alone is enough reason for me to come back. Bolo bao sandwiches seriously need to catch on in NYC, since they’re quite common in Hong Kong. This was my first time seeing one with roasted duck though. Just a heads up that the street felt a bit sketchy even though it’s near the edge of Chinatown. We were unfortunately harassed by someone outside of the store and ended up giving him a few dollar bills… *Chinese Sausage Mala Wrap $10 ** The lap cheong was spread so evenly

Verse is for sure a jewel in this nice neighborhood, offering a clean environment and cozy vibe. However, the menu and queue line experience could use enhancements. Menu items are too mixed together, and the graphic design makes it hard to understand your options, which contributed to a long wait since there’s no way to preview the menu at the entrance. Food-wise, I recommend the Egg Sando and Hojicha latte — the Matcha was alright but not distinctive. Also, the rear bar area felt like a waste;

Pizza take-out & delivery chain offering classic & specialty pizzas, plus wings, sides & desserts.
I ordered a large pizza with BBQ sauce and chicken. When I picked it up, I immediately noticed there was way too much sauce. But when I took a bite, I realized the real problem: they had originally made the pizza with regular pizza sauce, and instead of remaking it, they just spread BBQ sauce on top to cover it up. Really disappointing. If you mess up an order, just be honest and fix it properly. Make sure check your order before take it.

The place is nice. Good service by Hussan and other team members. Always accommodating requests and fast service and fresh food. The only problem is no public washroom.

Found this place from a book called Drink Like a Local, and if I didn't there is no way I would have found it. Located on a block with a ton of places to eat it is up a flight of stairs behind an umarked door. Walk in and you are greated warmly by the hostest. Sat at the bar, ordered the grilled cheese and a Gin cocktail. Bartender was very helpful with the drink selection and the grilled cheese spot on. Defitantly would recommend and look to go back.

Our server Isaiah was amazing. He told us about happy hour drink menu and entree specials for the evening. Decor was simple and very clean. However, the Apps and entrees we had was finger linking darn good lol. We started with the spicy Hummus with naan and the Artichoke Drip with crab meat with bruschetta. I had

We got schnitzel in a Lafa and on a baguette and we happy with it. Maybe it's because we ordered through Uber Eats, we were limited to on 6 toppings/ salad additions to include in the sandwich / Lafa which felt like not nearly enough. When going to an Israeli style location, we're used to many different salad and toppings options. The Schnitzel was great but not the best we have ever had. They definitely deserve credit but just maybe no lt as much as people hype it up to be. We also got fri

Honestly, this place is the definition of gentrification. My friends and I stopped in here because I had an errand in the area and while we were initially shocked by the price, we were willing to pay because as a smaller, organically focused shop, MAYBE their espresso roast is stellar. My friend ended up paying $11 for for a 24 oz iced latte that was very milk heavy. My 12oz mocha was good, but not $7 good. My main issue, however, was the service.

I went there Tuesday April 7th on my way to Costco. Someone from the Bronx told me about their delicious food a while ago. I decided to stop by and try and she was right. I bought the spicy chicken biryani and chicken samosas. It exceeded my expectations and my son loved it too. The customer service was great and the place is so clean. I will be definitely going back to try their other dishes.

Never been inside and the place is direct about what you want to order. Like say it directly but the food was super fresh and smelled amazing. It's my first time in a long time eating Chinese food in the city and I'm glad I'm back to it.

⸻ I had an absolutely amazing experience at 1001 Nights in Staten Island! From the moment I walked in, the vibe was welcoming, cozy, and just what I was looking for in a great hookah spot. The atmosphere was perfect for relaxing, enjoying good music, and unwinding. The hookah was incredible — smooth, flavorful, and lasted long without burning out. Their selection of flavors was impressive and definitely exceeded my expectations. The food was on point too! Everything came out fresh, well-season

We went the other day with family, and it's not enough to say we were completely blown away by how good this restaurant was! The service was incredibly warm and helpful, and the Thai BBQ was a truly tasty and fun experience. They serve meat and can also make soup – it was a really fun and delicious experience!

We hosted a large family gathering here with relatives visiting from the West Coast and Taiwan. The decor is undeniably grand and fits the "palatial" theme, making it a visually impressive spot for hosting guests. The food quality was generally satisfactory—the Ginger & Scallion Lobster and Steamed Black Cod were fresh and well-prepared. The Beef Fillet Mignon was also a hit with our guests. For a large group, the variety of noodles and rice dishes kept everyone satisfied. However, I have to poi

This tiny spot is tucked into the ground floor beside the entrance to the Ace Hotel, and is very popular almost every day. It takes a few minutes to get your food, but the staff are working hard and efficiently and the food itself is really good. You’ll pay a pretty penny for some options (like smoked salmon as an add-on being the same cost as a whole specialty bagel without it), but they’re using high end fresh ingredients so it’s not entirely surprising.

We ordered in. Took about 30 minutes for our order to be ready. No sweet n sour. No fortune cookies. Cold restaurant. We placed an order for Snapple we didn’t get so we had to reorder it since the guy didn’t hear us. The food was ok! If you have a minute to wait it’s not the worst spot ever.

They literally baked the wrong cake .. i asked for strawberry cake and strawberry filling . The lady said they had that… I cut the cake then it’s regular cake , not even vanilla. With strawberry filling. Also I wrote it down , “ happy 1st fathers day daddy 🩷 “ the lady wrote Ist … like why … the cake looking airbrushed is on me. The dyes started leaking from the heat .

Cutest little coffee shop in the Park Slope area. Their coffee drinks were excellent and they have some nice merch! I made sure I got one of their canvas tote bags. If you are lucky there are some cozy seats inside or also a few outside as well.

My friend and I visited Carrot Express yesterday and we were pleasantly impressed. The dishes were delicious, we enjoyed every single bite. We got the carrot juice and later some tea and coffee. The place was spotless and the servers quite attentive. 👌 Even amongst themselves you can see how they got along and worked as teammates. (Shout out to the hardworking latinas! ♡) On the wall read their core principles and truly they lived up to each one. I wish they have a store closer in Queens!

The food here tastes pretty good and the place feels warm and comfortable. However, the packaging was really disappointing. We got plain brown paper with no design, while others seemed to receive much nicer, branded packaging with logos. It felt inconsistent and took away from the overall experience. I hope they can be more consistent with their presentation in the future.

corner neighborhood Colombian bakery - nice spot for lunch or a snack (both savory and sweet). Stopped by to pick up a few empanadas, and they were pretty steady for lunch with many dining in. The lovely lady at the cashier was friendly and welcoming. I had a short wait for the cheese empanada and left also with a chicken and beef empanada. They were pretty good, I love Colombian empanadas because they put potato. Of course cheese is always a winner, and out of the meat empanada, I liked the chi

A bit out of the way, but the cookies are delicious, and service is friendly, and it's reliably stocked up, unlike another popular bakery close by (red gate). I got the sea salt chocolate chip cookie as well as the brown butter cookies. Both were delicious! I tend to feel like other places get a bit too heavy handed on the salt on cookies; but the salt and sweet here are well balanced. I'll be back!

AWESOME bar & bartender. Loved the vibe of the place. It was Open Mic night & we enjoyed visiting with all the locals too. My daughter and I sampled lots of local beers & learned a lot about surrounding area. We will be back on our next trip to New York! We didn't order any food.

This pizza joint has always hit. Although small, this place is packed with flavor. One of my favorite spots for pizza. Always fresh and convenient. The taste of the pizza always hits, staying consistent with greatness and freshness. In an economy where joints switch up, MILLY’S PIZZERIA remains unmatched with Quality and taste ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

Good option for breakfast/brunch in the UES. We had the lemon ricotta pancakes, the pancakes were great but we couldn’t really taste the lemon. The scone was ok, too big and a bit hard to eat. The açaí bowl was good as was the coffee. Like the outdoor patio seating option. The grab and go coffee counter is convenient and cute too.

Great experience at Jaew Thai Cuisine! They have an amazing vegetarian menu with tofu options. We started with the veg spring rolls and calamari, which were crispy and light. Then, we had the fresh watermelon juice and tried some delicious veggie main dishes with tofu. The food is excellent and the bistro is very bright and clean. Highly recommend for vegetarians!

Honestly one of the top cocktail bars I’ve been to in queens. Service was impeccable, drinks were phenomenal, they had great variety, the atmosphere was really nice too! Atleast the times I’ve been, they’ve played good music at a reasonable volume. Perfect for bringing friends and chatting over a drink. The food here also is fantastic. Everything I’ve tried so far has been good. Some food highlights: yuca fries, chicharrón, empanada, maduros Drink highlights: frozen Dalia punch, coconut margari
