Relaxed sit-down spot focusing on traditional Jamaican fare along with Chinese & fusion specialties.
What to order: Curried Goat · Henrica's Jerk Chicken Pasta Alfredo · Rum PunchAbsolutely unacceptable. One of the worst Jamaican food experiences I’ve ever had. I ordered pepper steak with rice and peas from Henrica’s, and from the moment I opened the container, it was a red flag. The “pepper steak” was battered in flour—which is already questionable—and when I took the first bite, the steak was clearly undercooked and raw inside. It was disgusting and completely inedible. I stopped eating immediately. The rice and peas was just as bad. Bland, dry, and missing the most

What to order: Black Linguine with Shrimp & Calamari · Linguine and Clam Sauce · Lobster Fra Diavolo · Baked Clams⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review What an amazing experience at Umberto’s Clam House!

What to order: SPAGHETTI ALLA CARBONARA · TAGLIATELLE, LEMON & BURRATA · OLIO E PIÙ TIRAMISUThe food is delicious. But there are so many people and the table spacing is narrow. It's noisy, but if you enjoy this lively atmosphere, it's definitely valuable food. People really kept coming in constantly. There was a table inside, but they seated us right in front of the door, and we had to hit our heads on their bags every time people came in. Just because I am Asian.. The food is delicious, but there is no intention to revisit.

Such a great addition to the NYC omakase scene. Every piece was incredibly fresh, well-balanced, and beautifully prepared. The chefs were friendly and explained each course, making the experience even better. At this price point, it’s one of the best value omakase spots I’ve had in the city. I’ll definitely be back!

What to order: Pad Thai · Tom Kha Gai · Thai Iced Tea · Pad See EiwThe food here is incredible and seasoned to perfection. Honestly one of the best Thai spots in NYC. The appetizers are satisfying, everything tastes fresh, and the portions are generous. Highly recommended. However, the service was lacking, which made the experience feel a bit less welcoming. It felt as if the staff didn't want to be there and were annoyed by customers. That said, the person who brought the food out from the kitchen was lovely and friendly!

What to order: Mini Burgers · Mini Tacos · Warm Pretzel BitesIn from Galveston, TX. First time in 3 years. Staying in Times Square and finding new places to eat & drink. Faces had great appetizers and Happy Hour pricing on drinks. Thanks to Ash at the Hilton for the recommendation. Michael at the bar took care of us and we had a great window on the street for people watching. We will be back.

Traditional restaurant offering generous Uzbek cuisine like grilled meats, kebabs & soups.
What to order: Uzbek Plov · Fried Lagman · Manti (4 pcs)We eat this food often, and this place really stands out. We had the osh (plov) and loved it. The taste is excellent, the portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable. Everything feels fresh and authentic. One of the best spots in Brooklyn for Uzbek food. We’ll definitely be back.

What to order: Mac & Cheese Burger · Steak & Eggs · Chicken & Waffles BenedictWent as a guest for a birthday party for bottomless brunch. Friendly service, great music with a live DJ. I didn't want to drink and staff was able to accommodate by letting me order a la carte & pay via separate check. The only downside was that my (and 1 other person) entree was served well after everyone else had finished eating. They were very apologetic though. Overall, think it's a really good deal and atmosphere. Bottomless includes, mimosas, Bellinis, white sangria, and screwdrivers. Eve

What to order: Tomahawk Steak special for two · Porterhouse · Bone‑in Tomahawk (or bone‑in rib‑eye) · Volcanic Steak TipsThis place feels like a solid, classic spot you can rely on. The atmosphere is calm and comfortable, more on the traditional side, but in a good way — nothing rushed, nothing overwhelming. It’s the kind of place where you can sit down, relax, and actually enjoy your meal. The food was good It’s not about something overly unique or trendy — it’s more about consistency and that familiar steakhouse experience. This place one that quietly does its job well. Definitely a place I’d come back to. I

What to order: Butterfish · Wagyu Carpaccio · Lamb Chops · Dirty Money martini / Lychee (truffle-style) martiniMother’s day lunch/brunch and the food did not disappoint. The service was very good but the vibe was still set for the pretty pre post club crowd. A little too dark a little too loud and the pace a little too slow. From an atmosphere standpoint it was ideal for a late or very late outing but perhaps not for a Mother’s Day brunch. We were definitely not the only ones there for the occasion so management and staff could have take the opportunity to embrace the day rather than give all of us “the

What to order: Hot Stone Garlic Rice · Bon‑Chol Jidori Fried Chicken · US Wagyu Beef (Signature Pre‑Fix) · A5 Wagyu Bento or Premium KalbiI tried the $60 all-you-can-eat buffet for lunch at Yakiniku Futago, and honestly, it's a solid deal if you love meat. My personal favorites were their fried chicken (seriously good) and the marinated kalbi. I also really enjoyed the egg drop soup, but don't expect the Chinese version. This one is made with beef marrow, which felt lighter and almost healthier. And I really liked their housemade ponzu dipping sauce. It complements the meat perfectly. My table managed three rounds of meat before

Beautiful interior and such a great atmosphere overall. The hostesses were incredibly sweet and accommodating from the moment we arrived. We did end up moving from our original reserved seats because that side of the restaurant was awfully hot, but the staff handled it kindly and quickly which I appreciated. Now onto the food — the truffle mushroom fried rice was delicious. It leaned a little salty for my personal taste, but it was still very well cooked with a crisp, savory lingering flavor th

What to order: Rolled Almonds · Vanilla Mille-Feuille · Croissant · MacaronsA Cozy corner cafe and bakery with completable chairs. I ordered a cappuccino and an apricot pistachio pie. Both were really good. The pie wasn't too sweet and the coffee was on the more roasted side. Just like I like it.

What to order: Res Chimi · Yaroa de Pollo mechado · Chinola (passion fruit juice)Haven’t been here for a while. Came back out of craving and it was better than before. Tried their sandwhich which was amazing. Pernil seasoned well nd juicy. Only issue for me was that it was cold inside so kinda hard to enjoy the food while trying to stay warm. Overall good food.

Stopped by BX Eatery today and honestly had a great experience. A highlight was the tuna wrap. It was incredible.. Genuinely one of the best wraps I’ve ever had. Super fresh ingredients, really flavorful, and filling without feeling heavy. I also grabbed a coffee and it was excellent. Smooth, strong, and way more affordable than a lot of the coffee spots around here. The owner was really friendly and welcoming too. It’s a great little spot if you need something quick before work or during a lu
