Modern, dimly lit eatery offering Korean-American small plates plus cocktails, soju, and makgeolli.
What to order: Popcorn Chicken · Creamy Tteokbokki · Pork Belly BBQ · Bulgogi FriesWhile the food was quite good in this interesting spot, its service was subpar - from refusing to take cash to failure to pay attention to the table for the entire duration of the meal, the staff simply had no interest in providing service when there were only two tables occupied. There are plenty of Korean spots nearby with better service.

What to order: Chicago Classic deep dish · personal deep dish pizzaI used to come here a bit back in the day and while it’s still the same vibe, it’s lost a little bit in my opinion. I went this past Sunday and the service felt off, strange being that they had more than enough staff. It took a while for us to order but once we did, everything was fine. The food here is heavy and it’s kind of wild that half a personal deep dish will fill me up the way it does. I’m sad they dropped the All American from the dessert menu but the Chicago Classic deep dish is still

What to order: Calamari · Saganaki · Lamb Chops · Grilled OctopusFinally made it to Kiki’s and I’m happy to say it was worth all the hype. They don’t take reservations for small groups though so there’s often a wait, but we went at an odd time on Valentine’s Day and were able to be seated quickly. Service was great and the restaurant had a really cozy feel that definitely matched the vibe of enjoying coastal Greek food. The calamari was some of the best I’ve ever had, super fresh with a perfect crumb and the right amount of crisp. The other appetizer we got

What to order: Lobster Pad Thai · Brooklyn Bridge Pad Thai · Khao Soi Pu Nim (soft‑shell crab curry) · Krapow Moo Krob (crispy pork belly)Read great reviews online and this place did not disappoint! The food was delicious: the dumbo dumplings, lobster pad Thai and calamari were all amazing and the drinks (Thai iced tea and pea blossom lemonade) were tasty, too. The best part was the service. Kay was fun, honest with her recommendations and very attentive. Our daughter, after a few bites remarked, “I want to move here just for the food!” Will definitely be back the next time we’re in Brooklyn — but maybe for patio seating. Elephant

What to order: Chinese Sausage Bamboo Baked Rice · Sampan Congee · Garlic Chicken · Salt & Pepper ShrimpThis lap cheong bamboo baked rice is my dream meal for under $11!! Congee Village is a longtime chinatown staple (30 years strong!), serving family style cantonese dishes, dim sum, congee, and rice at reasonable prices. We also get a free mung bean sweet soup at the end. I’ve been to their Flushing location for dim sum before, but their entrees are even better imo. ＊Chinese Sausage Bamboo Baked Rice 金銀臘腸燉飯 $10.95 ** Such amazing value!

What to order: Seawolf Cazuela · Seawolf Rice · Octopus · Lobster RollI was glad to visit Seawolf Brooklyn today!! We tried the new specials menu, and I have to say everything was absolutely delicious. I had the Seawolf Cazuela, it was incredibly flavorful, rich, and comforting, perfect for this weather. It truly hit the spot. My husband ordered the Seawolf Rice, which was loaded with seafood and packed with amazing flavor. We also tried the octopus, which is an absolute MUST!! so tender and perfectly cooked!! The service and attention were excellent, and the d

Great tapas and cozy atmosphere. The scallops were perfectly seared and the octopus was very tender. Bone marrow with strawberry jam was surprisingly good. We also loved the steak with mushrooms. The olive oil gelato with sea salt was a unique and delicious dessert. Would definitely come back!

What to order: Paella · Pernil · Churrasco · AlcapurriasIts really nice when you can find spectacular views in the city, even when it rains. I don't like it when gratuity is added to the bill regardless of service. It wasn't bad but stacking on an extra 80 buck it gets up there. Especially in a celebration. My friend got the steak and eggs, while girl got the pernil which usually is a show stopper but this time the meat was dry....my baby paella was delectable. Atmosphere gets an A+. I think it's one of the best places in the city for views and drink

What to order: Tokyo Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen · Omurice · Amazing LemonadeOrdered their happy combo $30.99 today. It came with an appetizer, a bowl of ramen, a dessert and a soft drink. I got a chicken popcorn. It was not hot enough. The chicken inside was nice, but some of them were a bit dry. I got a bowl of Katsubushi pork ramen. The broth was a bit salty and garlicky. The flavor was nice. The pork belly is tender, but a bit fatty with skin attached. The marinated soft boiled egg was nice. The texture of the noodles was nice. It was a nice bowl of ramen. I got l

Comedy club with emerging & established talent, classes in writing/performing & limited food menu.
What to order: Mediterranean platter · Chicken & mango spring rolls · Grilled chicken sandwich · Charbroiled sirloin burgerWas there for mentalist Oz performance. Super impressive! Take off one star because when booking the tickets, there were not that many seats on the map, but when we got there, it was sooooo crowded that we have very limited space to move around. Our group didnt sit at the seat we purchased, and some group couldnt sit together. Some people in the back complained they couldn’t see the performer. Don’t know if it was normal or just Oz. But the show was definitely worth seeing!

I highly recommend it and they also have parking. The BBQ pizza was delish was not overpowering with BBQ sauce. Definitely don’t skip out on the garlic knots.

What to order: Mini Umka Puff Pies · Meat Dumplings in Clear Broth · Authentic Uzbek Plov with Chicken Thigh · Tender Veal Liver with MushroomsCame here for my dad’s birthday dinner, amazing food and experience!! The service was fast, friendly, and very thoughtful. There was also beautiful live music. All the dishes were delicious - apart from all the appetizers and main dishes, we all really LOVED and would highly recommend the tea & honey cake! Only dish I wouldn’t get again is the Kyrgyz Ganfan - it was quite pricey ($27) and only had maybe 3 pieces of meat, so while it was fine it didn’t blow us away or feel like good value relati
