This cozy was was a breath of fresh air when I stepped inside. I was only looking for a simple bodega fir breakfast when I stumbled upon this little gem of a spot with excellent service and awesome eats. This was one of the best omlettes I've had in a long time. I can't wait to try the pancakes next time!

My first time eating here and it easily became one of my favorite spots in the neighborhood! The Mekong Salad was so tasty with the crunchy fried tofu, pickled onions, and ginger dressing. Loved the crispy duck as well as the Lechon Kare Kare (seasonal I think?). The lechon was so satisfyingly crunchy and the peanut sauce was delicious over it. The staff was so incredibly sweet and the atmosphere is great as well. As a bonus, I loved the 90s-00s rnb/rap playlist they had playing.

~ Quick Halal bite for the economy ~ Chicken is dried. Lamb is better than chicken but way too salty. Combo platter is cold. It could be much better warm. Generous portion for the price. The place is clean and so bright- that's a good sign. Service is the best part of all and is excellent.

Juicy King Crab Express is a great choice if you are looking to enjoy flavorful seafood boils without the formal sit-down restaurant wait. The seasoning options have a nice, savory kick to them, and the seafood blends perfectly with the corn and potatoes in the bag. The ordering process is fast and efficient, making it incredibly easy to grab a premium meal to take home. It provides a solid balance of generous portions and rich flavors for anyone wanting a quick seafood treat.

I bought 2 Tres Leches here. I don’t generally leave reviews, but these tres leches were the worst I’ve had in my life. Thick layer of frosting on top with what seemed like artificial vanilla flavoring. The cake itself wasn’t a spongy/moist cake, more of a regular Dominican cake. Lastly, the milk smelled and tasted rotten. I also got some natural Chinola juices which were good.

The staff was nice. The location was clean. The presentation of the food was the good. The best part of the meal was the jerk chicken. It was cleaned and jerk well and the jerk for neutral to make the favors of the jerk take over. The fried rice, I was not a fan off. There was a taste in it that couldn't figure out what was throwing me off. The jerk mac & cheese was cold and I had just left the location. After fixing that, it had a melt taste but the cream in this pie was somewhat bland and runn

Casual sandwich spot also serving Korean noodle dishes, sushi, smoothies & more in modern surrounds.
I was immediately greeted with a smile and eager employees asking me what I want for lunch. The menu is very extensive so be prepared. There’s so many options. The service was straightforward, friendly, and fast. It’s a great option if you work around there. I got the teriyaki chicken with white rice.

The vibrant, colorful decor creates a fantastic atmosphere. I loved my perfect horchata, the mojitos were delicious, and my son enjoyed his Jarrito. My bistec a la mexicana was excellent, as were my husband’s enchiladas and my son’s birria quesadilla! I would definitely recommend and I will be coming back!

This is really my go to spot when I’m in Williamsburg and looking for some comfort food. The wings are so good and will leave you sweating, the service and bartenders are impeccable and all nice, and the crowd and place overall are super chill. Great spot to come with friends or if you want to delve into the sports crowd when games are on.

Take-out counter for espresso drinks, cold brews & pastries, with a hidden door to a bar by night.
It’s a small space but cute inside. Their syrups are organized to show what combinations other customers have enjoyed together. That inspired me to try cherry and caramel in my latte. Unfortunately I didn’t feel it paired too well, but I do hope to come back and try others. The employees were so friendly and they have a punch card which is always a plus.

Food, not great. Drinks, super delicious. I got the tuna onigiri and it was inedible. It was plain canned tuna put in a plain rice ball. I love tuna but zero seasoning on canned tuna? The takoyaki had very hard, rubbery squid. Was closer to chewing a soft pebble with bad squid flavoring. The strawberry lemonade drink was AMAZING!!! Just to give a measure of the sugar content, I had 50% sugar but honestly I would do 25% next time. It’s still delicious even when very sweet.

A small yet cozy and adorable shop. The drinks are refreshing and well-made, and the service is impressively fast and attentive. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a quick and tasty stop 🫶🏻

This is my favorite spot in the entirety of the Hugh in terms of main meals from what I've tried. The Super Suya bowl, for $16, is my preferred option here. Suya, for those who don't know, is basically a spiced peanut powder, and it goes wonderfully on top of grilled meats. My dish came with Jollof Rice (rice cooked in tomato broth,) Suya (grilled chicken with suya spice)- Kelewele (roasted sweet plantains,) Ndambe (black-eyed pea, sweet potato, okra stew,) Mafe (peanut sauce,) and Moyo (scotch

Mito is definitely a must-visit spot in Brooklyn! ✨ The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a colorful, modern atmosphere that feels both stylish and full of energy—perfect for a date night or a fun evening with friends. The food is absolutely delicious ,every dish is beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The menu is very diverse, offering everything from classic sushi to creative Japanese fusion dishes, so there’s something for everyone. The cocktails are another highlight —unique,

I recently visited Puya Tacos de Puebla with my daughter, we strive to give companies 5 stars, but are just unable to do so here. To be transparent this is more of a 2.5 stars not 3 but unable to give a half of a star. The setup feels more like a fast-food environment, and I will say the service was quick and efficient—we were helped almost immediately upon arriving, which was a plus. That said, the food didn’t quite live up to expectations, especially for the price. I ordered two birria tacos

I stumbled upon this place today and I’m already obsessed! The atmosphere is exactly what you’d want from a classic Korean pocha but with a modern, trendy twist. First off, the staff here are incredible—there’s a particularly handsome gentleman working who is not only easy on the eyes but also super professional and cool. It really adds to the overall "it" factor of the place. The music selection is on point, creating the perfect backdrop for a fun night out. Whether you’re here for a quick dri

The staff is an absolute delight every time we come to this location. The orders are always correct and it’s such a nice place to just sit and talk in the afternoon with coffees. Especially Derek makes the experiences amazing, he knows his consistent customers by name and remembers orders and likes and dislikes. My best friend comes every virtually everyday and I come with her when I can even though I live 10 miles away, it’s just so worth it! I love this Blank Street. Please visit and tip well

I had never been to omakase before and this place set the bar unbelievably high. The whole experience was amazing. Exceeded expectations and cannot stop thinking about this whole place. The food somehow tasted better than it looked and it looked gorgeous. Each piece was better than the last. Would definitely come back here. We also had a kosher dietary restriction and they were more than accommodating. I cannot recommend this omakase experience enough!

This place is the best. Delicious food, incredibly kind and accommodating staff. I really can’t express just how good the food was. This spot is also right around the corner from The Bell House and open until 10:30. Highly recommend getting yourself some late ish night food here before hitting the F or G train. Seriously so good, thank you for an excellent dining experience!

The high-end sushi spot occupies a simple setting & offers a chef's choice or a la carte menu.
Sushi Sasabune is a unique, one of a kind experience. My wife and I think it is very special and are delighted that it has remained in this neighborhood for a long time now. The fish is exquisitely fresh.. every bite is wonderful. The service is polite, attentive, and warm, including both the owner and his excellent staff. The ambiance is quiet, simple, clean, and peaceful. For a diner who wants a great deal of action, loud music, and noise, then maybe this is not the place for you. For those se

Visited Oasis Café for the first time this evening around 7pm. We ordered the Raspberry Mousse and the Biscoff Mousse, both beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. I have to give special mention to Kate who provided exceptional service. She was so genuinely kind, knowledgeable, and guided us perfectly through the menu to help us choose the best selection. We ended up leaving with $40 worth of treats. A huge thank you to Kate and the entire team — an easy 10/10 experience. We will defin

One thing about uptown, you’re always going to find little spots with food that stays in your memory years later 😭🍴 I still had videos from this meal sitting in my phone because the tortilla bowl, chicken, and sauces were THAT good. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and comforting. The atmosphere felt casual and welcoming, the portions were good, and it gave the kind of neighborhood food spot energy that makes you want to come back again. Definitely one of those Harlem food memories that

Finding a late-night spot, being welcomed warmly right before closing, and enjoying an excellent meal. We were looking for a restaurant that closed late. We went to this restaurant yesterday called, "The Silent Sea" with my friends. The menu looks so delicious and they closed at midnight. When we arrived, we saw restauranteurs and wait staff outside because it looked like end of a long day, only an hour or so away from closing the restaurant. Beautiful people. They invited us in right away to s
