What to order: Taiwanese Braised Pork Over Rice · Beef Noodle Soup · Potsticker (especially 10‑piece combo with lo mein) · Sesame BallAwesome cheap Taiwanese food. Loved the fried chicken and beef noodle soup especially. Great homey vibes. They take Venmo and cash for a discount compared to credit. Place can get busy quick depending on the time. I have some questions about hygiene but quality and quantity of food for price is legit.

What to order: Salmon Avocado Roll · Crunchy Spicy Tuna Roll · Yellowtail SerranoThis is my new favorite sushi restaurant! I ordered the seaweed salad, clam soup, clear soup, vegetable Gyoza and 2 avocado rolls and 2 avocado cucumber rolls and they were all super fresh & delicious.

Great clean place with good food. I went here on a Saturday night and it was kinda busy but there were tables available to sit at. The waiters are good with taking your orders and giving you your food but if you ask for separate checks they put all the checks in the same book and you have to figure out which check is yours by your self. The place had decent heating for the winter. Overall I recommend going here for Italian food

Cozy little Latin American bistro with a neighborhood vibe, cocktails & full bar & a sidewalk cafe.
What to order: Lobster Paella · Broiled Salmon with Yuca · Baked Chicken · Roast PorkI was really looking forward to trying this restaurant, but unfortunately the experience was disappointing. Several dishes lacked flavor especially the beans (no flavor at all), and the chicken in particular tasted overcooked and burnt. Service was also inconsistent, as a few items we requested were forgotten throughout the meal. On top of that, the restaurant itself was extremely hot and humid, which made it uncomfortable to dine in. I understand that off days happen, but overall the experience

What to order: Pepperoni Vodka slice · BBQ Chicken Pizza · Caesar SaladReally nice place, love the booths!!!!

What to order: Chicken BowlCame around 3:15. Trash cans overflowing. Teenagers loud and everywhere with no spatial awareness. Ordered a quesadilla with two sides. Sat down at a dirty table because there were no clean ones. Opened my food, quesadilla with cheese not melted. I take it back to ask that it’s warmed up, staff was quick and kind and obliging. Same when I sat down again and tasted my rice and it was hard like pellets. The only 5 star thing about this place is the staff. They work really hard and I would assume t

What to order: Nutty Professor Stuffed Shake · Strawberry Bites Stuffed Shake · Blue Dreams Bubble Waffle · Kinder Kraze CrepeSuch a great dessert spot! The ice cream with the waffle was AMAZING and the shake delicious. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and happy to help with recommendations.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sweet treat!

Hip, casual eatery serving Venezuelan street food such as yuca fries, burgers & hot dogs.
What to order: Perro Con Todo hot dog · Yuca fries · Especial BurgerThis is the 2nd time I'm leaving a review about this place. Last time was 5 years ago, about a similar subject. The "bartender" is quite smart. When the managers are nowhere near the bar she doesn't acknowledge guests seeking to order. She doesn't look at people, she doesn't even say "hi". It happened to me during France-Paraguay and to a man trying to order too. He left annoyed after being unable to get any sort of hospitality from her. I waited 10 minutes to order, and 5 to 7 minutes for her t

What to order: Denso Pepperoni Pizza · Grandma Traditional Pizza · Regular Cheese PizzaThis was my first time trying actual NY pizza in NY, I was not let down, when first walking in i was hit with the most amazing smell ever, all of the pizzas on display looked amazing and i genuinely wanted to get a slice of each. They have both rectangular slices and normal pizza slices but they all looked equally as delicious. When I got my pizza and tried it, it was amazing, when I visit NYC again I will definitely come back here!!

The drinks and desserts are also all thoughtfully creative and enjoyable. Almost every dish we had was a 20/10. The dishes that weren’t outstanding were still delicious; just didn’t blow u

What to order: New England Clam Chowder · Cheese Burger DLX · Mozzarella SticksWe ordered takeout from The Bushwick Diner and tried several classic American comfort dishes fish and chips, a Philly cheesesteak, the combo appetizer platter, and New England clam chowder. The overall meal was decent, with some dishes prepared better than others and one standout item that truly impressed. The fish and chips had good flavor but were fried a little longer than ideal. Traditionally, fish and chips originated in 19th-century Britain, where a crisp, airy batter made from flour, wat

What to order: Blue Crab Toast · Jamon Croquetas · Zucchini Chips · Duck RaguBarlume was a great way to start our night out in the city! Our server, Frankie, was personable and had our drinks and appetizers out quickly. The Tuna Capriccio was as refreshing as it was delicious. The mix of flavors and vibrant scents were exactly what we were looking for. For somebody who enjoys Cuban dishes, the Jamon Croquetas had to be one of the best we’ve had anywhere. Way to go! And let me tell you! The Roasted Root Vegetables were to die for. They were the perfect texture of soft a

Bright location for kosher Middle Eastern specialties including kebabs, rice pilaf & baklava.
What to order: Lamb Ribs Kebab · Veal Liver Kebab · Shurpa (broth with lamb) · Fried DumplingsHad a great experience at Stix Kosher Restaurant in Forest Hills. The food was really flavorful, especially the kebabs and grilled meats—everything tasted fresh and perfectly cooked. I tried the shish kebab and salmon skewers, and both were excellent. The rice pilaf and grilled vegetables were a great addition to the meal. For dessert, the baklava was delicious and not overly sweet, and the dumplings were a nice surprise. Overall, a solid spot if you’re craving Middle Eastern and Central Asian

Relaxed restaurant serving familiar Indian cuisine such as tandoori chicken, curries & kebabs.
What to order: Achari chicken · Beef Bihari Kebab · Chicken Roast · Murog PolaoWaste of Money, Time and Bangladeshi reputation and feelings, NOT RECOMMENDED. Beef Bihari Kabab (20$): it was a somewhat tendered beef with a strange spice and very chili hot, not close to a normal beef Bihari at all. Waste of money. Naan (2$): it was half baked. Ruho Fish (9$): it was again not at all tasty, come-on, in Bangladeshi restaurant you expect at least a decent fish curry, a weird spice is used which does not belong to Bangladesh. Dal (2$): Dal was good in taste. Service: unprof
