Warm eatery and teahouse for Chinese fare, from Peking duck to Shanghai dumplings.
What to order: Brown Sugar Peking Duck · Shanghai Pork Soup Dumplings · Mapo Tofu · Sichuan Chili Fried ChickenVisited ULUH after hearing that Jennie recently stopped by, and I’m glad I finally came back. It’s actually been about a year since my last visit, and the food was just as good as I remembered. We ordered some of the dishes that were said to be Jennie’s picks, including the Brown Sugar Peking Duck, pumpkin balls, and a bottle of Kikusui sake. The duck was definitely a standout. Crispy skin, juicy meat, and packed with flavor. The Kikusui sake was light, smooth, and slightly sweet. Very easy t

What to order: Chicken Spiedini · Fig, Arugula, and Balsamic Pizza · Ricotta Ravioli · Coletta TiramisuI’ll start by saying I’m not even vegan, but Coletta completely won me over. We ordered the calamari to share and honestly… it was better than the real thing. Crispy, flavorful, and didn’t feel like you were missing anything. My friend got the steak and couldn’t stop talking about how good it was, and my pasta was just as solid—really well done and satisfying. Dessert definitely held its own too. The hazelnut cake and pistachio ice cream were both on point and the perfect way to end the meal.

Casual restaurant serving hearty Turkish dishes in a quiet, earth-toned setting.
What to order: Yaprak Döner (Gyro) · Hünkar Beğendi (lamb) · Red Lentil Soup · İskender KebabExcellent Turkish food in a hidden place packed with Turkish customers speaking Turkish--highly authentic. Even on a busy Saturday night, the crew was motivated and attentive. Our server normally works the kitchen but jumped in to help — that kind of all-hands-on-deck energy made the whole experience feel warm and genuine. The Yaprak Döner (N1) was spectacular. The marinade on the meat was incredibly flavorful — easily one of the best gyros we’ve had. We also tried the Hünkar Beğendi Lamb (N8).

What to order: Dave’s Combo · Chili · French Fries · Oreo Frosty Fusion vanillaThis has to be the worst Wendy’s in the entire country. I understand they hire kids but like where is the management. The place is insanely dirty. Lack of management I can imagine what happens to the food in the back

What to order: Oxtail Mac and Cheese · Frozen Rum Punch · Island Chicken & WafflesFive stars across the board...food, service and atmosphere were all extremely on point. Food - upon viewing the menu I realized their were no vegan options available. So a kind gentleman came over asked how he could help, I told him what the challenge was and he replied the chef could prepare something especially for you and assured me that the chef was a seasoned veteran who beat Bobby Flay. Say less! Service - This is where I was blown away by the service because the gentleman then walked in t

What to order: Signature Pork Fried Rice · Sichuan Style Superior Spicy Dry‑Fried Chicken Wing · Thin Sliced Abalone Stir Fried in Spicy Szechuan Style · Crispy Jumbo Shrimp with Creamy Roasted Pepper SauceHad a fantastic experience at DaZhaiMen. This is one of the best Sichuan restaurants I’ve been to in a long time — the chili oil was incredibly authentic and full of flavor. The pig trotter soup was honestly the best I’ve had recently. The portions are also very generous, especially for the price, so the value is excellent. On top of that, Sam and Shawn provided great service throughout the meal — very attentive and friendly. Definitely a place I’d come back to for authentic Sichuan food in NYC

What to order: Aminabad Ki Galouti Kebab · Railway Mutton Curry · Green Chili Chicken · Atari PaneerVery busy restaurant serving up solid Indian food. I would not say it is spectacular but it can scratch a real itch for medium spice. The mulethi was a nice classic fruit-forward tart gin drink with a cool presentation. The golgappa was fun (it's pani puri for fuschka to me) and I liked the mint chili the most, and this one had a cool presentation too. The murg makhani was decent and the biryani was OK but not as deeply flavored. I think taht's my main critique if I had one: the flavor depth wa

What to order: Blueberry Waffles · Corned Beef Hash and Eggs · Chicken and Waffles · French ToastMike's Coffee Shop has a quintessential diner feel and you better get there early if you want to snag a booth. They serve up all the classics and none of that $14 pancakes nonsense. I focused in on the Greek Specialties section and ordered a Gyro on Pita for $7.25. It has a good amount of meat, tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and tzatziki on soft pita. I could've used a squeeze of lemon on the side, but otherwise a flawless diner experience.

What to order: Nashville Sandwich · Tikkaville Sandwich · Masala Fries · Chicken Tikka Mac & Cheese🍋 Taylor’s Tayke: Namkeen has a very distinctive flavor profile that immediately separates it from your average chicken spot.

Portions are big, flavors are bold, and this is definitely the type of place you go when you want something indulgent and packed with flavor. 🍋 My Taysty Tayke: Get Down & Dirty, Expeditiously: Tikkaville Sandwich One of the more
