I've been eating here since 2016. Had everything on the menu, including my favorites: Jerk Chicken, Stew Fish, Oxtails, and all of their daily special soups. Every single one of their staff members are so kind and it's one of the main reasons I go back weekly. Today, I had the Jerk Chicken (not pictured), some of their Chili Chicken Wings, and their Chicken Soup. I noticed some new items too, which I look forward to trying next time. The next week I had some of their Jerk Salmon, Rasta Pasta,

soooooo delish! came here on a weekday evening and the girls servicing were so nice! i got a pitaya x green base w/ almond butter (which is so flippin’ good). definitely on the pricier end, but you pay for the quality and amount; this bowl was beautifully layered and packed!

OMG, the best scallion pancake ever. Just filled with scallion and flavor. Fried to perfection. Woman gave me something in a coffee cup - whitish liquid. Had no idea whether to drink it or use it for dipping. So I did both. 😜😂

Hungry Ghost Coffee is a charming café in Williamsburg with an atmosphere that immediately stands out. From the outside, it has a cozy cottage-like appearance that almost feels like a small house hidden away in the woods. It creates a welcoming first impression and gives the café a lot of character compared to many other coffee shops in the area. Inside, the space feels open, bright, and comfortable. The layout is inviting without feeling crowded, making it a pleasant place to sit and enjoy a c

Got the wrong order at Hungry Ghost and somehow ended up at the back of the line for it. The barista served three other customers, restocked, cleaned…and only then fixed my drink. No apology, no urgency, just a bad attitude. We all have off days so I put it behind me. Went in a second time and there were no customers. I stood at the counter for 5 minutes while she intentionally made me wait. Never again!

Stopped by with my dad and tried the cheesecake, it was honestly so good. Super creamy, fresh, and not overly sweet. The atmosphere was really nice too, and you can tell a lot of care goes into everything they make. Definitely coming back to try more desserts!

The Hawaiian pizza was good. The chicken parm hero was only ok. But the service was fantastic. My 5 year old son got hand sanitizer all over his slice of pizza. Too messy to wipe up. So I took it back and asked for another one explaining g what happened. The guy immediately got me another one and didn’t even charge me!! And slices it up into small pieces for my little one. So nice!! And the beverages were all extremely reasonably priced! The bottles of water were only $1. That’s how you know a p

Le Gaz is the cutest, quirkiest little coffee shop — tiny in size but big in personality! I loved the cozy, corky vibe the moment I walked in. Despite its small footprint, the space feels welcoming, warm, and full of charm. Their matcha and coffee were both excellent — smooth, balanced, and clearly made with care. It’s the kind of spot that makes you want to slow down for a moment and just enjoy your drink. A delightful hidden gem. Highly recommend stopping by for a great cup and a fun, memora

I order General Tao Chicken. He took a pot that was sitting next to the fryer not refrigerated at all and put chicken into the fryer with his hand. I told him to forget it. I said the food is not safe the cook he told me it’s fine. Don’t eat here very unclean cooking habits.

Eduardo, the guy behind the counter is a local legend and a gem in the neighbourhood. The place has been around for more than 20 years. The food is absolutely delicious. I was only visiting the city so I could go twice but I hope more people visit them and enjoy their food. 10/10 would recommend. FYI today is thanksgiving day so they are also doing free turkey giveaway.

I come here almost every morning and it has become one of my favorite parts of the day. The iced latte is consistently excellent — the espresso is rich and flavorful, and every drink is prepared with care. The staff are always warm, welcoming, and friendly, creating such a great atmosphere. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great coffee and an even better café experience!

Bank-affiliated coffeehouse chain offering hot drinks & free WiFi in a modern setting.
A great place to get coffee then withdraw cash or apply for a credit card. It’s half cafe and half bank. Not only is the cafe gorgeous and well maintained and bright, the staff is friendly and accommodating. The coffee is well priced (50% off menu price if you have a credit or debit card with Capital One) and is excellent. Just as Costco sells a $1.50 hotdog or a $5 rotisserie chicken exclusively for their members, Capital One delivers a boutique cafe experience at Dunkin’ level prices. Going

Casual counter-serve chain for build-your-own sandwiches & salads, with health-conscious options.
Hey there’s an employee there that needs to be re-trained on how to make the sandwiches. Some sandwiches require more meat depending on type (for example subway club and 5 meat italian). They made it completely wrong and delivery is to expensive for them not to prepare it accurately. I buy these sandwiches at work near Wall Street all the time, I know how they’re supposed to look

I never stepped foot in there, just ordered food and it got here in like 30min with Uber Eats. Chicken Broccoli w/ White rice - Chicken & broccoli is cooked through/pretty okay flavor but small portion. - Should be half chicken & broccoli & half rice. I got mostly rice which sucks. - White rice is like any other white rice/no issues. Large wonton soup - Nice and hot! - Wontons break easily though and don’t hold its shape.

Great spot for a coffee. Staff is friendly and the quality of the coffee is very high. They have lots of options for drinks with rotating seasonal flavors. They have different types of pastries if you are looking for something to eat. There is some seating inside if your looking to hang out for a bit. Parking is street parking in astoria so be aware you might have a little challenge but I always seem to find a spot relatively quick.

I used to come here a lot like multiple times a week. But I definitely won't be doing that anymore after my last visit. I love to support small businesses and this one is a convenient location living at waterside... But tonight while checking out the main guy added something on the price last minute and when I checked out, it was a higher price than it should've been. My mom noticed when I got back home so I came back, but he refused to acknowledge it or refund. And of course, the price on the s

Paul’s Caribbean Bakery on White Plains Road is one of those neighborhood spots that always delivers. They have a great variety of freshly made patties beef, chicken, vegetable, and even vegan options so there’s something for everyone. The patties are always hot, super flavorful, and taste like they just came out of the oven. Just a heads up, it’s cash only, but it’s absolutely worth the stop if you’re in the area and craving a solid Caribbean patty.

Long-running chain serving signature breakfast items & a variety of coffee drinks.
I’m a daily customer at Dunkin’ and usually have a great experience, which is why I felt the need to share what happened this morning. I accidentally placed my mobile order at the wrong location (ordered from Broadway while I was at Amsterdam). I fully understand that the mistake was mine, but I stopped by the Amsterdam store to ask if there was anything they could do to help or accommodate the situation. Unfortunately, the lady at the register (who is often there) immediately told me “no, it’s

I popped in to grab a quick lunch sandwich here. It’s very unassuming on the inside, but the really nice man behind the counter made me a DELICIOUS vegetarian cheese sandwich that is exactly how my mom used to make for me. The ingredients and bread were super fresh. I was expecting bodega quality and my expectations were blown away by this little sandwich. This is a cute local gem for sure!

Was in the mood for fried fish... and got two chicken tenders as well... SO fresh so crispy!!! The Cajun fries are top tier...... So I went again! Finally got a seafood sauce option... not a 10! But not a 5 either 🤷🏾♂️ Let me tell you something... if you're not ea

Very rude workers, the old lady started scolding me and yelling at me because my dog had pooped next the tree, in front of their bakery, I even picked it up with my doggy bags and she didn’t stop yelling at me until I walked off, the worker making food in the back, raised his voice and said “NO” to my mom when she asked if they sold champurrado. Always a bad experience when interacting with those people.

Established bakery supplying a range of traditional European-style breads & pastries.
They have some of the best pastries, sandwiches, and breakfast sandwiches in Brooklyn. Everything tastes fresh and well made, and the bread is always top-tier. The bacon, egg, and cheese is simple but done really well, with a perfectly cooked egg, smoked bacon, and great bread that makes all the difference. Almost like biting into a cloud. It’s located inside DeKalb Market Hall, right next to Trader Joe’s, which makes it a super convenient stop. It’s a little on the pricey side, but this is NYC

I'm not exaggerating—almost every person living in LIC has eaten at Rice Alley. When you're homesick, craving something hot, or want a satisfying bowl of Chinese food, this is the place to be. ⭐ Must-Try List (Blindly Order Without Blindly Missing): 🥩 Stew Beef Noodle Soup: Rich but not greasy broth, beef stewed to perfection, a bowl of this will instantly revitalize you. 🌶️ Stir-Fried String Beans: Garlic flavor and wok hei (wok aroma), so addictive, a perfect accompaniment to rice. 🥕 B

Came here on a whim while walking around aimlessly as an out of towner. I was trying to go to Cafe 12 for matcha but the line was long as heck. I said nah and found this. I was SO pleased and delighted to have found this spot! They had a lot of good matcha options on the menu. It was cute and tiny inside. I ordered a strawberry matcha and it was so good. It was like $8 but it was pretty big ! Larger than most places I’d say. The homemade strawberry puree was fresh and delicious. The matcha was s

The fish tasted fresh which was super nice! The rice was slightly dried out. The crab inari, salmon, and tuna nigiri were my favorites. I had to dock points because I honestly did not enjoy any of the “specialty” sushi’s I tried. The flavors were unpleasant. Here’s my breakdown: Twilight sushi-why shrimp tempura inside? Also the eel skin tasted a little too pungent. Rising sun sushi-why imitation crab…the salmon was enough. Also flavors just didn’t mesh. Wasn’t the worst though. All buru-flavor

This was my very first time trying Malaysian food and it was really good. This place is a hidden gem. Food was delicious and service superb. Had different dishes and they were all very good. It’s so amazing that in NYC you can find hidden gems in every corner or unexpected places. Will definitely comeback here again to try other dishes.

Modern, counter-serve chain offering juices & smoothies, plus raw foods & muffins.
A few weeks ago, I stopped into a Juice Generation on the UWS, to try out their new Matcha smoothie. Firstly, the smoothie was outstanding. Tbh, I was a bit skeptical at first, but this experience completely changed my mind, and made me a believer in "matcha smoothies." (For the not-yet-believers out there, I recommend having it with their wonderful almond mylk.) Secondly, I loved the welcoming feel of the store; it felt both relaxed and productive in there. And the sweet man who helped me out

Very disappointing first experience. I ordered the chicken teriyaki and was surprised by how bland and poorly prepared it was. The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the sauce tasted watered down with very little flavor. The rice wasn't much better and seemed like it had been sitting around for a while.I called the restaurant to let them know that the food quality was not what I expected, but the response was basically that nothing could be done. I wasn't looking for anything free, just hoping

I ONLY PUT 5 STARS SO MY REVIEW COULD BE AT THE TOP ! READ READ READ🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 I was incredibly let down by my visit to Melody Lounge. It’s clear this is a common practice—without even asking if we were ready, they just handed us the tab and told us we had to leave, or we’d need to buy a bottle to stay. It didn’t matter that we had a group of seven and wanted to buy more drinks—we were forced out. Only after me arguing and going back-and-forth with two men and explaining how I found that this w

A rustic coffee shop / wine bar in the evening, limited outside seating and cozy dark wood ambiance inside. The coffee is ok, croissants are ok too but huge and expensive, $5 each. Very local vibe, but not a hole in a wall.

The roti that was not part of the menu? AMAZING. Everything else was great but it didn’t really blow my mind. Shrimp was spicy but it wasn’t intolerable. The goat curry was great though, very tender. Duck sausage not my favorite. It’s more of a blood sausage if you like that it might be good. The dessert, coconut turnover, was very filling. It’s basically a bread. If you ever had the coconut cream bread from an Asian bakery, it reminds me of that. Nonetheless the bread was super fluffy, moist an

I got Papi’s Fried Chuleta. Got a good portion that had a nicely crisp pork cutlet that, while a tad dry, was packed with flavor. There was a good rice portion in the center, a small side salad, and a cup of hearty soup. Not sure why, but to be nice, they also gave me the extra treat of sweet plantains. I absolutely a

Came here mainly because I wanted a spot I could actually hang with my dog and this place delivers. Super laid-back, no attitude, just good people and a true dive bar feel. The outdoor space is the real win — plenty of room to sit, have a drink, and let your dog chill without feeling cramped. Drinks are cheap, crowd is friendly, and nobody’s trying too hard. Exactly what you want when you just want to exist for a few hours with your dog and a beer.
