I’ve been to this restaurant twice so far. Upon entry, the atmosphere felt cleanly and welcoming!! The first time, my friend and I got served by the Jamaican owner and he was highly attentive to the way how my food was portioned. He also kept up good conversation even thought it was late. I can say the same for the second time I visited as I got served by the Trini owner and her daughter. Through both experiences, the food turned out to be filling and delicious with no complaints! There is als

Great authentic Mexican cuisine in the neighborhood. We like to come here to celebrate family events. Prices are reasonable, staff is very friendly and we buy the margaritas and sangria by the pitcher 😊. Highly recommended local spot. Back again for another family event, as always great food and margaritas🌮🍹

Amazing food and incredibly affordable! I highly recommend the steamed roasted pork bun and the steamed red bean bun; both were delicious and made pretty much exactly how I like. I got three ginormous buns for only $4.50, which I felt giddy about all the way back home. I did have a little miscommunication with the person manning the counter due to the language barrier, but that’s not really something I would fault them for. I had to wait for one of my buns to be made and it was super fast servic

Amazing Atmosphere for the World Cup! Capitol Diner is the perfect place to enjoy great food and catch the World Cup on the big screen. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, with a classic diner feel and a great selection of food and drinks. Whether you’re stopping by for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, everything is fresh and delicious. Watching the World Cup here with a cold beer and good company makes for an unforgettable experience.

Do not come here unless you’re part of a posee that can show up with you; also, learn Spanish. I’m all for places being diverse but coming at people who only speak English or don’t speak Spanish with laughter is abhorrent. The lady who cooks in the back has an attitude that can ruin anyone’s mood. We came in hoping to order FROM THE MENU, and the lady totally just scoffed and looked annoyed that we ordered things that weren’t there. They took forever to make a pupusa along with the order, and w
Another addition to Steinway is this authentic Algerian restaurant. The client and the staff are friendly, and the food is tasty and affordable. I like the way they cook the liver 'kibda' with fat.

The food is delicious and affordable, perfect for family dinners. The atmosphere is really smoky though. The service was just okay - the waiters were cold and unfriendly when taking orders, and the dishes were just left there in a pile for you to grab yourself...

Very impressive Cantonese beef offal hotpot. The beef offal was tender and deeply flavorful, with a rich braised broth. The perilla pork offal pot was fresh and aromatic, and all the offal was cleaned very well. Generous portions and authentic flavors. Definitely worth trying if you like offal dishes.

My first experience in Staten Island was amazing thanks to Le Malt! I got the opportunity to attend one of their opening events as a guest of a member and was so impressed by the quality and creativity of the food and cocktails. The decor of the cocktail and sushi bars is stunning and makes the lounge feel like a fun, classy speakeasy. Lots of photo opportunities inside! The sushi is also a must try, and I can't wait to head back to try everything else they have to offer. I think it is a members

If you love Dim Sum then you will love this place. The food is very delicious and the service is fast and attentive. Everything we picked was hot, fresh and very tasty. Servers walked around with their carts often and always asked if we needed anything. Might be a little difficult if you don’t speak Chinese but it’s worth the visit. The space is literally in the name: “grand”. It’s a huge banquet hall with so much seating. There is even private dining rooms for private parties. Overall this

The restaurant is located in the Dyker Heights section of Brooklyn. They prepare Chinese cuisine. Several tables are available for dining in but there are no servers. Soups, appetizers, noodles, entrees, house specials, combination platters, special family dinners and beverages are on the menu. I ordered the family dinner for two persons which included a pint of wonton soup, general tso's chicken-pint, chicken with broccoli-pint, fried rice with shrimp-pint and roast pork lo mein-pint. The

Great pizza for a pretty decent price. When I'm in this area I also come here. The owner is very friendly... and like I said price is pretty reasonable.. please support this place... I like this place way better than the pizza place around the corner

Lucy’s is one of the neighborhood’s best kept secrets. Owners Juan and Lucy are genuinely two of the most kindest people to walk the planet. Aside from their hospitable nature, the food they make is delicious! Tacos, burritos, huevos ranchers: you name it! It is one of my go-to spots that I frequent regularly and I’m so happy they’re here. The service is super fast too might I add. PS: the salsa verde is amazing! :)
After Mass at St. Frances Cabrini Shrine, we found this place on Google and were so glad we did. The food was homemade, delicious, and comforting. The nonnas serving us were incredibly sweet and welcoming. The space is small, but thankfully it wasn’t busy when we visited, so we were able to enjoy our meal comfortably. Everything we ordered was affordable. Would definitely come back!

((4.50 stars)) the chicken empanada here is very good. got one that was freshly made one. the empanada's exterior is flaky crispy outer layer. the empanada is filled to the brim with moist seasoned chicken, herbs, sautéed onions, and more. most empanadas can be be deflated or under-filled, but not the ones at Mini Gourmet Deli as their empanadas are warm pockets of savory chicken deliciousness. the empanada can be found at a tiny small storefront with an order window--no seats just a window for

Great food. The rooftop is closed for 2025 but they expect to open it again 2026. The seaweed fries were delicious. The salted egg salad with congee was our favorite dish, the salted egg was so flavorful with very good texture.

This place is a home away from home. My family and I have been coming here for years. It has everything we want from a diner, great food, sweet speedy service, great prices. The bacon is beef bacon now, to be halal, and it's still delicious, very crispy 🥰
