What to order: Buss Up Shut Roti Plate · Mofongo (Yuh Motha’s Mofongo) · Jerk Tamarind BurgerFor the longest time , I have craved an experience at the renowned vegan hotspot HAAM. Recently, I had the pleasure and when I say it does not disappoint in any way I do not exaggerate!!! I have been a pescatarian for 35+ yrs, and my partner is an avid meat eater, who also absolutely loves West Indian and criolla food. So this felt like a really great experiment. We began our meal with delicious drinks , including a favorite of mine , Morirsoñando..and delicious cocktails served in fresh cocon

What to order: King Lobster Roll · Tom Yum Soup · Mango Mojito · Drunken NoodleUpdated November 18, 2025: I went back to the restaurant since I was in the area and the last time I was there the food and service were great. To my surprise on this day I was not please with their food. I had lunch with my guests, and we order a number of dishes. We had sushi rolls lunch and it did not taste as good as the last time. The rice on the roll appeared to be a lot of vinegar and it look bad the way it was done. I had a number of other dishes did not taste good either. So I decided t

A bit disappointed with my experience here. It was late Saturday and still barely any options left. Pineapple & mushroom were some of the only few left so I had to (before you judge me). That’s fine and all I guess, but unfortunately the taste didn’t live up to expectations either. Not sure if it was just an off night since I see great reviews. Might give it another try.

What to order: Massaman Curry · Khao Soi (Northern Thai Curry Noodle Soup with pork belly) · Drunken Noodle · Thai Spicy Clams (with roti)Tasty food. Good presentation and small cozy place. Staff was accommodating. We had a party of 5. We waited a bit to be seated because it’s a small place. Food came hot. Their chive pancake was good. Their spicy fried rice was spicy, but good. I’ve been twice and I’ll keep coming back. A bit busy at times, but easy to get a seat if you’re a small table.

What to order: Gelatoville · Pistachio · Ferrero RocherSuch a gem! There are no artificial food dyes in any of the Gelato because it's all Italian, and I think food dyes are banned over there. And half the flavors are vegan! The guy behind the counter with longish hair is amazing. I think he's Italian too? But he's serious and efficient. When my daughter's cup fell off the counter, he made her a new ice cream for free! Always a good time here. Update! Went here on a stormy cold day to get hot chocolate. They had all kinds of milk options, and when

What to order: Hand‑pulled Lagman noodles · Cumin‑lamb stir‑fry · Big Plate Chicken (chicken mixed with spices braised in pota · Samsa (meat pies)Very cool small place that I would never have found without a friends recommendation. Order at the counter, sit at one of something like 6 tables, get your food delivered to the table in paper plates and eat said food. Very basic atmosphere and service, but perfectly suitable for the vibe on offer. Food is generally good, I found most offerings too salty but that may just be me. The home made noodles were the highlight for me, beef products were generally not too good, lamb better. Menu is large

What to order: Classic Chicken Sandwich · Spicy Chicken Sandwich · 5Pc Tenders Combo · BiscuitI ordered a 3-piece tenders meal and when I opened the box there was no biscuit and no paper lining inside the box. The food itself was fine, but missing items and sloppy packaging are disappointing, especially for the price. Please pay more attention to order accuracy and presentation.

What to order: buñuelo · guava and cheese empanada (Empanada Cambray) · Empanada Carne · Coconut LemonadeGreat experience. The atmosphere was full of good vibes, the food was delicious, and the music really added to the lively energy of the place. It’s definitely a spot where people go to enjoy themselves and have a good time. A special shoutout to our server, Gabriel, who was excellent attentive, friendly, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the night. The only downside for me was that the music was a bit too loud. It made it hard to have a conversation we basically had to shout

What to order: Cheesesteak (with both sweet and hot peppers)A little counter sandwich shop with one item - cheesesteaks. They’re excellent, with freshly baked sesame heros, caramelized onions, thick cheese and plenty of beef. Their excellent flavor is excellent - right up there with federoff’s and Philly’s best. It’s standing room only, a quick in and out sort of place, and the wait for a cheesesteak was very short - just 2 minutes, maximum. While the hype might have worn off, this remains one of the best places to get a cheesesteak anywhere and you shou

What to order: Filet Mignon Tenderloin (Hibachi) · Hibachi Steak and Chicken · Chicken Fried Rice · GyozaI've eaten out quite a bit and this has to be some of the best food I've had, the service was great, the chef was entertaining, even my picky eater 14 year old liked the food. I highly recommend this place. On a side note, this was once famous gangster Henry Hill's ( of Goodfellas fame) Suite Lounge back in the late '60s thru early '70s where Billy Batts was murdered.

What to order: The Tony Special · Jalapeño Cheddar Crunch schnitzel · Bacon Avocado BurgerThe people who own and work here are truly incredible. We hosted a law school event with a tight budget, and when the owner heard it was for our first cross-affinity potluck, he personally offered to deliver the food to help us save money — and even added extra dishes. We were all so touched. So many students came who were kosher, and without their generosity we wouldn’t have had nearly the success we did. We’re forever grateful… and the food was mad delicious! Everyone enjoyed it together. This
