What to order: Curry Ramen w. Tonkatsu · Chicken Ramen · Tokyo Tonkotsu Ramen · Pan Fried Gyoza DumplingsThe fastest serving restaurant.

What to order: The Margarita · Lychee Martini · Smoky PalomaOverall rating: 4.9 I came here when I heard they have HH until 9 and free hotdogs. I learned in my first visit, HH was until 8pm and hotdogs are only on Fri/ Sat starting at 9pm. That said, GREAT DRINKS. Hole in the wall spot and is probably more popular on the weekends post-happy hour. But it did what it needed to do. I did notice a black saddle charge which was weird but the HH pricing was very good. Highly recommend.

What to order: Diamond Cut Kalbi · Beef Tongue · Assorted KimchiThe cuts of meat were delicious, soft and tender. We got the assorted meats a la carte, assorted kimchi and soup. My favorite was the diamond cut kalbi, pork with wasabi (dip in lemon sauce) and beef tongue with a yuzu sauce. The staff was awesome, especially our server. She was very welcoming and made my son's birthday extra special with the sparkler cheesecake. Definitely will try the course with the sukiyaki next time.

What to order: Jalapeño Sausage Breakfast Sandwich · K & L Chopped Cheese · Chipotle Chicken Sandwich · Blueberry Griddle (buttermilk pancakes with blueberry compotPopular morning spot for coffee and bagels, but an absolutely necessary stop for the jalapeno sausage breakfast sandwich, which we get with ketchup and hot sauce (it’s mild and flavorful). I’ve had the pleasure of taking this to go and eating it in a half-dozen times now, and I wouldn’t trade this for any other breakfast sandwich in the entire city. Even better, it arrives fast. Hot coffee is good too. Get there.

What to order: Assorted-Gui · Fried Rice with Cheese and Fish Roe
Industrial-chic venue offering Korean fare, including grilled beef intestines, stews & noodles.
What to order: Grilled beef intestines (gopchang) — best done AYCE at this · End-of-meal fried rice (kimchi egg fried rice) · Corn cheese · Pork bellyOne of my favorite BBQ spots, especially if you love intestine. They really specialize in it and do it so well. I definitely recommend going to the location that has AYCE because the Midtown location does not offer it. It’s honestly way more worth it. The last time I went to Midtown, three of us paid around $350 with tip, and we weren’t even that full. I love their corn cheese, and the cold noodles were really good too. The kimchi egg fried rice was amazing. They grill the intestine for you an

What to order: lobster claws · oysters · hibachi meatsTried this newly opened buffet in Queens and was pleasantly surprised, especially for the price. It’s located next to LA Fitness and about a 10-minute drive from Resorts World Casino, so pretty convenient. The space is large, clean, and bright, with some Chinese-style umbrella decorations on the ceiling that add a nice touch. There’s a good amount of seating, and when we visited it was quite busy, which is usually a good sign. Food-wise, they offer a decent variety for around $21 dinner. You

What to order: Jajangmyeon · Tangsuyuk · Spicy Seafood Noodle SoupThis was the best start to end dinner we have had in flatbush so far. The entree for couples made our decisions much simpler. We was very pleased with the service and the atmosphere. the noodles with black bean sauce, sweet sour pork, sweet sour chicken, and the steamed dumplings were all delicious. The flower buns with condesed milk dessert were fantastic. We will surely return.

What to order: Penne all Vodka · Chicken Parmigiana · Rigatoni NormaWe walked in late afternoon. Kids ordered pasta marinara and garlic bread with cheese (OMG!!!!!!!!). It was sooo good!!! The bread was my favorite as I wanted a snack only. It was so so tasty and full of flavors 🤤🥹 the lady who served us was very sweet and attentive. The food was brought pretty fast which is a real break point when you go for food with kids. And let me tell you, the food was brought fast but was gone fast as well, because it was extremely good! Prices were pretty fare as well.

What to order: Pistachio gelato · Affogato · Tiramisu gelato · Ferrero Roche (Bueno Crème)What to order: The Blue Blossom Roll · Mapo Tofu · Shanghai Soup DumplingsLove this place! I brought in some heart trays for a party and asked them to fill them up, and they did so beautifully and were extremely accommodating. Everyone said the sushi was high quality and delicious, and you could tell how much care they put into making it. Even the wasabi heart shaped and they very nearly packaged everything and helped me carry it too! They even threw in a bottle of sake on the house and were so kind. I hadn’t found a sushi spot I liked in Williamsburg until this one -

Casual restaurant offering Mexican fare, including design-your-own burritos, tacos & bowls.
What to order: Burrito Bowl · Burrito · QuesadillaI’m very disappointed with my experience today. After waiting an hour for my pickup order, I was given someone else’s meal. The bag was sealed, so I didn’t realize the mistake until I reached my destination — and to make things worse, I’m allergic to beans, which were in the order I was given. The service was extremely slow, and no one seemed willing to help. It’s always a chaotic experience trying to get food there at lunchtime, but today was unacceptable.

Stylish setting for whimsical, animal-themed Cantonese dim sum, seafood & Hong Kong-style fare.
What to order: Twin Lobsters with sticky rice · Lemongrass pork chops · Deluxe Dim Sum Platter · Snow pea leaves with garlicWe had dim sum here, which runs to 3 pm on weekdays, the food came fast and was surprisingly good. We didn't expect this level of dim sum authenticity outside Flushing. We ordered: savory sticky rice dumplings, rice rolls with shrimp, beef and fried cruller fillings, century egg and lean pork porridge, red bean stuffed rice balls, steamed rice cake... everything tasted good. Service was prompt and courteous.

The space is tiny, cozy, and has that simple rustic bakery feel where everything looks fresh and made in-house. It’s my first time here, and it already feels like one of those spots I’ll keep coming back to just to try more of what they offer. I tried both the Spinach and Shallot Quiche and the Confit Garlic and Potato Quiche, and both were really well executed. Quiche is originally a French dish, built on a cu

What to order: Croissant · Cardamom Bun (Kløben Bun) · Cinnamon Social Slice · Smoked Salmon SandwichI was doing some shopping in the area and stopped by to grab a few croissants for the road. 🛍️🥐 The experience was quick and convenient, the staff was kind and welcoming 😊, and the bakery has a really nice atmosphere. Most importantly, the croissants were amazing—fresh, flaky, buttery, and absolutely delicious! 🤤✨ A perfect spot for a quick pastry and coffee break while exploring the neighborhood. ☕🥐 I’ll definitely stop by again next time I’m in the area! 👍😊🌟

What to order: Yaroa · Chimi Dominicano · Keto BurgerThey lost a good customer. I say “good” because either my wife or I spend around $200 to $300 here every single week. It’s very disappointing that when you go to spend your money, you’re treated with a bad attitude. I understand the place can be stressful, but that’s not an excuse to treat customers poorly. The food is excellent, no complaints there. However, the morning shift — especially one white girl (I believe her name is Jenn , but I’ll leave it out) — has such a bad attitude that it mad
