A group of us moms from NJ went to Jackson Heights for a pizza-making class with Samuel and his brother David. It was such a great experience! From the moment we walked in, everyone was so warm and welcoming. The space was very clean, and the ingredients were fresh and high quality. Samuel and David made the class fun and easy to follow, and both the moms and kids really enjoyed it. You can tell they truly care, and they made everyone feel included. The kids had the best time! We also loved th

Yo this place was lit. The singular guy working there was hella chill and he gave me a free biscuit and the prices were good. The service was impeccable and I felt absolutely uplifted in every manor that I could have been after eating here. Highly recommend. Prior to my experience here, my hunger felt insatiable, but soon I was engulfed in the wonderfulness of the chicken. It contained many seasonings familiar to the tongue that felt precisely coordinated and collaborated extremely well to accom

Had an amazing Chef's special Omakase here and every piece was carefully crafted and fish was super fresh. Probably one of the best Uni I have ever tasted in NYC. The handrolls were delicious too and we added on salmon and spicy rock shrimp to the experience. Paired it with sake and had a fantastic dinner.

If I could give this place no stars I would. I have ordered here before but tonight the food was delivered DISGUSTING!!!!! I paid 113 dollars for my order and my chicken roll was RAW, completely raw!!!!!!! My shrimp tempura roll was thrown into the container, could not even eat it. Whoever assembled the rolls tonight should be fired!!! I am so disgusted and so disappointed cause the food here is usually on point and amazing. I tried calling at 9:50pm and nobody picked up the phone either. Very v

Notes: Rating for the style of food, and the only other good Halal cart/halal spot in the area outside of Turkish places is the similarly priced King of Shawarma & Falafel, which has worse quality meat. Also, they make the chapli kabobs to order, as they should, so order early or order something else if you're in a hurry. Finally, I have no clue how someone spent $20 on a salad unless they got Seamless or something (call the spot/go in to avoid all these issues.) This is the brick-and-mortar lo

I celebrated my birthday at WOAF and had such an amazing time! The only upfront cost was a $250 deposit, which was fully refunded after the party, so my friends and I just paid for our food and drinks. We chose to do separate tabs, but they also offered an open bar option that was surprisingly affordable. They let me bring my own cake and decorate our section, which made it feel really special. The music was great, the drinks were good, and overall it was such a fun experience!

Came for drinks and ended up trying some food too. The bar is still the highlight. Dani behind the bar is elite. Drinks are consistent, smooth, and she keeps the energy right. She made it feel like I was a regular from the jump. My cousin had the mixed fruit margarita and it was great. I had a rum runner and that was on point too. Both drinks were balanced and went down easy. My cousin had the chicken fried rice. It was solid but right on the edge of being dry, just needed a little more moistu

Called the number listed to let them know about the terrible matcha slush I received at the hospital, the man mocked me for being in the hospital after he 1st hung up on me. This tastes is was made with water, no sugar, and 20 scoops of bitter matcha that literally makes you cringe while drinking it. I have never experienced such bitterness in service as well. I’m unable to physically go back and get a refund, will dispute with my credit card and go back in person once I leave the hospital.

These guys are so nice and the food is consistently good - I think the reviews are expecting it to be some crazy hole in the wall place…it’s not but it’s good, reliable, cheap Chinese food that is always good. The owners are also really nice to regulars

BKB was such a great place for our girls night dinner! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm, lively, and effortless. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, and every cocktail on the menu felt elevated and thoughtfully crafted. Each of us loved the cocktail we ordered! We shared the oven roasted chickpeas, Caviar d’Aubergine, Croquettes de Fromage, and olives. All were so delicious!

I recently visited Tomer’s Sandwich Shop, and I was truly impressed. Everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. The restaurant is exceptionally clean, and you can tell that great care and attention go into every detail. The sandwiches are outstanding, and the service is warm and welcoming. A wonderful new addition to the neighborhood. Highly recommended!

Ordered from slice and never received the order so had my wife call in. They needed us to tell them the order again which they sent out. About an hour after that call the delivery person doesn't want to come upstairs. It's very frustrating when instead of providing good service, Rocco's chooses to make excuses such as "they've gotten their bike stolen before" It's 2026, if you haven't figured out how to use a lock and chain for delivery with a bicycle, go back to the drawing board.

Friendly staff, everytime I go. It's usually only one person working but it's never really a long wait for them to make the people invited lose order. It has some of the best croissants and desserts in the Astoria ditmars area. Today I ate a cheese filled croissant, oh my goodness it was so tasty. So the sweet ones are good, the savory ones are better and the coffee is too notch. I am definitely a fan. Great cafe. I need to go more often.

Shocked at the speed of service. We ordered and got our food fresh within 15 minutes and it didn't taste reheated. Ordered the whole red snapper, the skirt steak with a delicious chimichurri, the garlic shrimp mofongo... Heavenly 👌🏾 Ordered a Coqui Tango & Can't wait to try the Lychee Martinez Thanks to Sophie and Jessica the Tres Leches was also amazing for dessert. Wonderful space and happy I finally made it on the eve of my Birthday. Will be back ✨

Went there off the fact that tic toc said they take food stamps. But when I got there it's only if you have a special program. But I still ordered a decent amount of food Which came up to $48. I ordered pineapple salmon over white rice with cabbage, fried chicken with baked macaroni and cheese and an $5 lunch special of curry chicken and rice and peas also with cabbage. The food was still warm when I reached home. I can appreciate that meaning it was a 40-minute drive. The salmon was fresh and T

I kept hearing great things about this NYC restaurant with the unlikely name of Ha’s Snack Bar. So I managed to line up outside the tiny spot at 4:45PM on a Wednesday afternoon in late March, and snagged a seat at the counter when the doors opened at 5:30PM. It’s a small (24 seats) but full Lower East Side restaurant featuring Vietnamese / French inspired flavors, with a great vibe, friendly, helpful servers - and you can’t miss the chefs at work in the microscopic open kitchen (Two inductions

I visited this bakery to avoid heading to Dyckman, but unfortunately, it was a disappointment. I spent $58 on a cake, a few cuban pastry (empanada Cubano), and pastelitos (Dominican pastelitos). Instead of making them fresh, they had the audacity to give me the ones that had been sitting on the shelf. For that kind of money, I expected better quality. I won’t be spending my money here again—next time, I'll just stick to bakery in Dyckman , no se puede ser tan mala fe.

I ordered takeout and had a great experience. I ordered a cachapa, and a juice, and everything was delicious. The food was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. The order was ready quickly and packaged nicely for takeout. I really enjoyed the meal and will definitely be ordering from here again. Highly recommend!

The most incredible place with the most incredible people working here. If you’re having a bad day or even a good one just come here and you’ll leave smiling. They are genuinely the kindest people and treat their customers like family. Definitely try their juices the zest and zaatar the halloumi sandwich on sourdough and of course the coffee. Everything is so delicious and they seriously have the best coffee beans. I’m sad I discovered this place so late but so happy I did. This is the type of

Walked in for a casual slice for the wife and I. The pizza was immaculate. I could taste how good the ingredients are. The slice was cwispy and delicious. 10/10. Ended up meeting and speaking with the owner Moe. Super chill guy. Will definitely be back again.

I would never order here, not even to feed my dog. I ordered some food off of Uber eats brown stew, chicken with rice and peas that was flavorless soggy and oily. There were chunks of big tomatoes inside of my stew. Curry goat with white rice that was mushy Full Of bones And flavorless potato salad that was spoiled it was sour Macaroni and cheese that look like they put a brick of cheese on top of unseasoned macaroni. It was the worst experience I’ve ever had from a Caribbean restaurant in this

Cheery outpost with seasonal American cuisine & culinary training for refugees, plus garden seating.
I shouldn't be doing this since I really don't want this place to blow up so I can never get a table but how selfish can I be....? This is my favorite egg sandwich spot in the neighborhood. Heck, probably the city? Perfection (see video) Everything about it is perfect. Also enjoyed the breakfast wrap. Such a great deal too. You can sit outside on nice days, pair it with some coffee and one of their delicious pastries. Always had lovely interaction with he staff. Don't sleep on it!

Really nice spot in Bay Ridge. I tried the Oreo shake at Hemo Cafe and it was honestly one of the best shakes I’ve had in a while. Super creamy, well blended, and the Oreo flavor was perfect without being overly sweet. The ingredients tasted fresh and the drink was really refreshing. Definitely a great place if you’re looking for good juices or smoothies. I’ll be coming back to try more from their menu! Also wanted to mention that the manager, Mr Anes, was super nice, friendly, and very helpful.

Before it used to take pretty long to get your order but the bowls were so tasty and fresh that I would just grin and bear it.. but lately they have been having these orders come out in a flash! I’m so impressed by the turnaround and really enjoy coming here now. Whatever changes they made, are working. Keep up the great work!

I could tell he was being rude like and it was after he saw I only spoke English and not Spanish and that I was not Spanish and that he didn't like this at all because he was great at first until I stated no Espanol only English he completely began treated me differently.When we got home it was spicy and I only tried a ti

The food was delicious! I’d recommend the Arroz con Pollo. It’s simple, yet packed with flavor. The chicken was tender and pulled apart easily. The yellow rice is seasoned well and loaded with vegetables. I’d prefer fresher vegetables, but it was still good. My friend wasn’t too fond of their pork chops or ribs, but loved the chicken; stick to chicken or steak here.
