This review is about sustainability! I really appreciate that you offer real mugs, plates, and glassware to your customers. By 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. And over 95% of the plastic that we produce and consume, does not actually get recycled, but rather ends up in landfills, incinerators, and in our waterways. It means a lot to me as a customer to support businesses that are mindful of the fact that Brooklyn is a waterfront community. So I am grateful for the mor

My sister and I had a phenomenal experience at Sushi Kai. We booked a very last minute reservation and were on a time crunch to catch a broadway show yet the chef was so accommodating; he worked incredibly fast to make sure we caught our show on time, without sacrificing a single bit of the sushi's amazing quality. We had the set omakase menu and every piece was so well prepared and delicious. The seafood was incredibly fresh and some of the best sushi I’ve had since visiting Japan a year ago. W

The ambiance is very warm & relaxing. The staff is great! It felt like family helping you get everything you need. They kept me and my friends entertained & made sure we loved our food! The food ! Delicious! Desert! Delicious! My friend wanted a customized dessert & they made it happened ! My fave was the crust of the tiger prawn & duck with kimchi fried rice ! I could’ve ate the whole menu if god gave me a gift card lol! Will definitely revisit!

My family and I were on vacation and happened to be in the vicinity when the Detroit Lions game was on. We happened to cross The Five Lamps, and figured we'd try to catch the game. Sure it was on a whim, but it turns out, The Five Lamps was the perfect place to watch the game! Our bartender Dan was fantastic! All the waitstaff were attentive, the place was clean, and it was a great spot to catch the game! The food was great bar fare, the prices were very reasonable, (especially for New York Cit

I love to spend my money here always, the food , the spices are always perfect for me, i never regret spending money on this restaurant. Love their braised duck which is big portion and perfect for winter, cold days to activate your mood, also love their chili boil which my goes to when I am there. Not a big fan of the dessert. I am just not used to that taste.

The food was really good. I quite liked everything except the pinsa, which was too plain. The portion sizes were confusing. Some were tiny, were others fine and some were quite large. It wasn't obvious what would be what based on price or position on the menu. The Milanese with prosciutto worked really well. The ambiance was nice, very dark and elegant, with real parafine candles. The staff was very attentive and caring.

This is a hidden gem in Soho. I went here with a friend who knew I would like it and expected basic tacos and was delivered amazing, authentic food with fresh made corn tortillas. The mushroom quesadilla is life changing. Their mango margaritas are so fresh and good, not sweet and perfectly pureed. The mole is not gf and the team quickly alerted me without me even asking so I got a pescado taco and the fish was fresh and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend, 10/10. I wish I lived around the co

If you’re looking for a spot on Staten Island that actually delivers on both food and vibe, The Basement is it. Everything felt intentional. The seafood was fresh and cooked right. The salmon with the broth and clams had a lot of flavor without being heavy. The halibut over risotto was smooth and buttery with a lemon caper sauce that hit perfectly. The fried chicken cutlet was crispy, not greasy, and still juicy inside. The tuna salad was done right, seared clean and paired with fruit and gree

Overall I think this is one of the better Pizzerias I've had. I don't think it's the best ever, buts it's better than 90% of what's out there. The staff are extremely friendly and you get served very quickly. It would be unfair to give it less than 5 stars. The one criticism I had was my buffalo chicken slice had too much going on. Too many flavors in my opinion.

I loved redemption coffee. They have a really cool variety of coffee and other drinks. My wife loved that drink with turmeric for example - the golden milk. I loved my Cortado. The space is really chill. Like Manhattan, but without the 8000 people. And customer service was phenomenal, I have to give the barista credit for explaining everything to me, like which drinks I’ve added sugar in, which do. Go!

((3.25 stars)) stopped by here to grab a cold brew on warm afternoon. it's a small quiet modern coffee / tea drink shop. very clean bright well-maintained interior. not much seating as it is a fairly small space--a few seats to be had. there is a touchscreen to order as this location seems to be a one-person operation as there was a single employee on-shift. ordered a cold brew with no ice. several minutes later the employee came from the back with my drink. took my drink and noticed there was

Long-running chain serving signature breakfast items & a variety of coffee drinks.
The manager’s behavior toward employees was one of the most unprofessional displays I’ve ever witnessed in a workplace. The constant disrespect, harsh tone, and apparent lack of basic decency toward staff created an uncomfortable environment for everyone present. As a customer, I found it disturbing to watch. Employees deserve respect, not humiliation. Management should take immediate action to address this behavior.

Tribeca original. When I arrived, the QR code wasn’t working, so I had to flag down a server just to place an order. I ordered the biscuits, turkey bacon, and Aqua Panna water. The water was the safest part of the meal. The biscuits tasted like they came straight from a Pillsbury pop-can, not what you would expect from a place carrying the Bubby’s name. The turkey bacon was also undercooked, which is especially concerning when you’re about to board a flight and share a bathroom with dozens of

Ordered online from this company for first time. I regularly order Indian food from others. I specified mild heat, however I have no problems with even highly spicy food. The food had no real flavor other than it's huge heat. I was only able to consume 10% before my stomach revolted and I had to run to the bathroom to vomit. This had never happened to me. I threw out the rest of the food. I order out several times a week and am generally very happy with the food. I will never order from Himalaya

These are some of our favorite shrimp wontons. The broth is also very tasty. I'm not sure if the pics are clear enough but we had beef and beef tendons paired with egg noodles. Curry balls for a nice Appetizer and some blanched veggies. Super nice, friendly and attentive waitresses. Place is small and can get very busy.

Coffee is delicious. The chicken chipotle egg sandwich is absolutely delicious and to die for. They need to bring this back. Best thing ever. Whenever I'm nearby I definitely stop by for coffee and and almond croissant. The vibe is chill. Usually the music playlist is dope too. I like going here. Again I can't emphasize enough how much I need to bring that chicken chipotle egg sandwich back. Because it's amazing.

The food was excellent. I got chilaquiles for lunch with a mex Coca Cola. Delicious. They offered me vegan chorizo because I’m vegetarian! Omg so well made. The food was fresh, well made, and with the authentic Mexican flavor. The women who lead the kitchen were so nice, they were listening to amazing Mexican artist while cooking with love and passion. Also they are bilingual :) They have unlimited options of Mexican cuisine items like tamales of all flavors and lots of Mexican bevs like champur

I live close by, and this bar has been a sacred third space for me for 5 years through some really hard times. What I can say is that each bartender on staff right now has their own vibe, music, and energy - but this place is community. I came in today to see Xavier, a bartender who has become a weekly staple in my work from home life. He’s the first to engage new customers, makes everyone laugh, and always makes you feel like you’re family. I heard he had been let go due to one bad review, but

The place is way over rated. The burger was over cooked The bacon wasn’t bacon. It was falsely sold as bacon. My order said no onion. It had onion. They get 1 extra star because the fries were good. It’s definitely not a $27 burger. Unless you like getting ripped off don’t go here.

Comfy Japanese eatery offering familiar sushi rolls & entrees such as teriyaki, plus lunch specials.
Honestly this was such a hidden gem and we would go back just for the vibes. Idk where they found their music from but we were vibing the entire time we were there and we loved it! It’s like stepping back into the 80’s as soon as you walk in! The hostess was a sweet lady & catered to us the entire time we were there; didn’t rush us and made sure our bellies were full. We didn’t have to wait long for our food once we ordered. We had the Dynamite which was probably my favorite. We also ordered the

I went there with six people. It’s located in a trendy part of Brooklyn, and the restaurant has a really nice atmosphere. The staff who served our table were also very friendly. As for the food, I was interested in okonomi fried potato and eringi karaage, but they weren’t anything special—just generally tasty. The garlic shrimp was probably the best dish, and the sushi rolls we ordered were also just average. I wasn’t particularly impressed with the desserts. Since it’s in a trendy area, the

In its Tribeca location, the restaurant continues to offer a menu that feels both authentic and full of character, with dishes that deliver richness and warmth in every bite. While the presentation may not reach quite the same polished heights it once did, particularly compared to earlier experiences at its Chelsea location, the food itself remains consistently flavorful and enjoyable.

I came here after seeing this place in a video from thewellroundedhuman! I was able to sample the soups. I couldn't pick between the red lentil and carrot ginger, so they told me they could mix them. They were both yummy. I also got the chakra noodles, they were ok. I felt like they could have used a little more flavor. The jar was pretty tiny for $10, but I understand they're trying to be sustainable with the glasses so it ups the cost. Between the small portion, cost and mid taste, I think I

Welcoming coffeehouse with handcrafted coffee, espresso & tea, plus breakfast, lunch & pastries.
This starbucks is amazing the atmosphere is great and the service is also fantastic, the only thing about starbucks that i am conflicted about is the fact that you need to purchase an item to get a cup of water with ice, in which the water is tap water. You might as well charge to get a water cup because of the prices of items at Starbucks. Im not mad, just disappointed.

Casual and homey spot. You order at the counter and they bring your food out to you. The dumplings come out saucy, juicy, and hot. Popcorn chicken's full of flavor and the winter melon tea was delicious, sweet and light. Good neighborhood lunch and dinner Taiwanese restaurant.

Just WOW. I haven’t had a salad bowl this good in a long time. There are so many salad bowl places out there now. This place knocks Sweetgreen JustSalad and Chopt out of the park for multiple reasons: 1) Portion: so plentiful. Not only is the take out bowl itself significantly larger than a Sweetgreen take out bowl, they fill it up entirely to the lid! 2): Quality toppings and toppings made with care and attention: salmon, roasted broccoli to name a few in my Buddha bowl.

I went to McDonald’s today order about $20 bucks worth of food. Walked in the rain to get cuz who doesn’t like McDonald’s. I come back to my job to enjoy the food and I look at my Big Mac and the top half portion was empty and my large fries were filled to like half. I wasn’t mad at the fries but the Big Mac only half the sandwich was disappointing!!!! I go back and let them know and show them. They were nice to remake a new one.

Wow. Just blown away by how good this is. Wish we'd discovered it on the first day it was SO good. We tried the pistachio and cherry croissant, the almond croissant, the Nutella cookie, the potato bureka, and the cheese danish pastry. Every single thing was incredible but the pistachio and cherry croissant might have been the tastiest pastries I have ever eaten. 10/10 would recommend. There is also entrance and exit ramps for wheel chairs and strollers.

I can’t say one bad thing about this place. First time eating Albanian food with my partner who is Albanian. We both enjoyed it so much my partner was very impressed and said it tasted like home. We both left satisfied and it was so good we ordered food to take home. Everything was so fresh and tasted phenomenal.

the experience completely blew me away. the food is amazing, of course — but the real highlight is the experience itself. It doesn’t take long to understand why the sushi place is called YOLO. We ordered a bottle of sake, but the waiter just kept the drinks coming, and honestly… I don’t even remember how I got home. It was incredible. I ate really well, drank way too much, and met great people. Totally worth it. I’d go back without thinking twice!!

From 5 to 1 Stars why? I recently ordered here, and unfortunately, my experience was disappointing.

I tried calling the restaurant to inform them, but nobody picked up, and there was no follow-up It’s frustrating to pay for a complete meal and end up with an incomplete order.

The rice and cabbage were also tasty and filled with a decent amount of jerk chicken. My kids loved it. I will order again.
