Went for a solo lunch and was greeted with great enthusiasm. The calamari salad was way better than expected- crisp, light, refreshing. The house made gingerale and limeade spritzer were both incredibly refreshing. I got the T-bone steak and it was PERFECT. Not over seasoned. Cooked to perfection. Ended with the chocolate mousse. Honestly a perfect meal. I’ll be back!

Keens, the legendary, consistently serves remarkably tender, flavorful, and perfectly charred Prime Porterhouse and Mutton Chops. While there are many great steakhouses in New York City, we firmly believe that Keens is the one and only nostalgic steakhouse that truly embodies the essence of a classic NYC venue. Carson D. and staff warmly welcomed and greeted us with the distinct charm of New Yorkers, who are fiercely down-to-earth, deeply unpretentious, and a great friendly attitude. It will always be our top choice when we’re taking our special guests for a traditional steakhouse dining experience. Tips: Reservations is a must, as it’s super busy and packed even on a Monday night! We made our reservation 30 days in advance ensuring our long-distance visitors get to this unique experience! Don’t forget the cheesecake and baked potato serving with butter or house made sour cream, which were a classic representation as well!

My friend tried the mutton chop and I had the pan seared artic char. My friend enjoyed his mutton chop and the artic char was good as well. The vegetables that came with the fish were somewhat bland and bitter. The shishito peppers appetizer were well seasoned and fresh. Best part: the desserts! They have a fantastic key lime pie and a great hot fudge sundae. The hot fudge sundae is a classic sundae with a scoop of vanilla and a scoop of chocolate ice cream, fresh whip, hot fudge at the base, and a wafer on top. It's the best hot fudge sundae I've had (ever, I think). Seating is difficult to get so reservations are highly recommended. Bar seating is first come, first served, and can easily be a wait of 1+ hours during peak times.

From the minute you enter the ambiance transports you to a time life was enjoyed in simple ways,I ordered filet mignon and it was the most delicious aged medium rare I have ever had,come with sides of your choosing,creamy spinach and mushroom was my best choice and I loved it. You do need to make a reservation due to the high numbers and popularity of the place,if not you can be seated at the bar area which still is amazing with great bar tenders that make a mean cocktail of your choice. The second day I ordered the same it was was as delicious as the first time,this will be my spot for dinning everytime I visit Manhattan for sure. I forgot the name of the bartender he is tall dark and goes out of his way to make sure you are catered for,he made me a mojito that was so good I tried other places and it never did taste as good as the one he made for me.

Went to Keen's Steakhouse yesterday. As someone in the restaurant business, I’d personally never send fries out like that — they really should not be served cold and too soft. The steak was also a bit too dry. We’re steak lovers and never waste food but we didn’t finish it. To me, I didn’t feel like it came from a steak house kitchen. Felt like it was from a microwave. That said, I really appreciate the restaurant and the fact that we were given a great table and good service overall. The atmosphere is still excellent and full of history. One highlight for me was the thick bacon — that was really good. Also, great wine selection, I loved it. Just a bit of constructive feedback, because I do respect the place and what it stands for.  If you cook with heart, it will show on the plates.

A Chinese Sichuan menu amid upscale 1930s Shanghai-inspired decor. The atmosphere is classy and unique, perfect for a nice dinner date or a small private gatherings (there are themed rooms that beautifully decorated). Great for a little photoshoot, too. Food is also delicious!

Celebrated Lunar New Year at Cafe China in NYC and it was nothing short of spectacular. The food was the real star. Every dish captured the bold, complex flavors that make authentic Szechuan cuisine so unforgettable—fragrant chili oil, mouth-tingling Sichuan peppercorns, deep layers of spice balanced with precision. You can tell this is the real deal, not a watered-down version. Each plate arrived beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. What impressed me most was the abundance of vegetarian options. So often, celebratory meals revolve around meat-heavy dishes, but here the vegetable preparations were just as thoughtfully crafted and deeply satisfying. From perfectly stir-fried greens to richly seasoned tofu dishes, every bite felt intentional and celebratory. Cafe China made our Lunar New Year feel truly special—authentic cuisine, vibrant flavors, and a menu inclusive enough for everyone at the table. Already looking forward to coming back. 🧧✨

Many of my colleagues recommended this restaurant. However me and my other colleagues from China did not really like the food. In short, they were too salty and greasy.

Great spot if you are craving family style Sichuan cuisine. The portions were generation and they did not skip over the seasoning. Staff is very attentive and the aesthetics of the restaurant reminds me of a Wong Kar-Wai film.

I have been wanting to try this place for a very long time. finally pop in for a visit during lunch time on a weekday. it really exceeded my expectation. there are so many sichuan restaurants in NYC and it's already hard to top one another. but the food here is really unique and the service is a top notch. Love their old shanghai decor makes it cozy and quiet enough to be able to talk to each other without screaming. there are multiple floors even seats that best for solo as well. The dish most wows me is the spicy soft shell crab. there are so much crab in it and loaded with flavor. Tea Smoked Duck is very juicy with smoky taste. Pork Dumplings in Chili Oil is one of the best flavor in NYC, it's very authentic taste with a little sweet and a little spicy. the lucky cup sake is very easy to drink if you want to take advantage of their happy hour price for only $8 There are some lunch bento specials as well, if you are not a person to share. there are also plenty to choose from.

This is a great Korean gem in Korea town in NY. We were blessed to be seated quickly. The waiters are attentive. Food is wonderful and you do not have to wait long for it come out. I will definitely be back and highly recommend it to everyone.

I used to not be a big fan of Korean food and never really gave it a chance. This time, my friend brought me here, and it completely changed my mind. The food was delicious, full of flavor, and everything was so well prepared. This experience really opened me up to Korean cuisine, and now I’m excited to try more. Highly re

Stopped by for a light dinner and the place was still busy even a bit past weekday dinner time. We ordered the Deon Jang and Soon Doo Boo, both were flavorful, well balanced, and not too salty. The side dishes were great, and we also received complimentary steamed egg during the meal and sujeonggwa afterward, which was a nice touch. Overall a very satisfying experience, though it would have been even better if they offered a military discount.
Princess J - 4 months ago

Love this restaurant. Food is undoubtedly delicious and fresh. I especially enjoy their grilled short ribs and chicken ginseng soup. The waitresses are always very friendly, attentive, and quick to take your order. Besides, another plus is that they have lunch special on weekdays, great for a quick but nutritious lunch! I sometimes dine in with just myself, sometimes come in with a few friends. This restaurant is perfect for every occasion, whether a quick solo lunch or a girls’ dinner. Give this restaurant a try!

I had an amazing Korean BBQ experience at thekeunjip The quality of the food, the variety of banchan, and the overall atmosphere were all excellent. We ordered samgyeopsal and pork galbi, and both were outstanding. The samgyeopsal was thick, juicy, and perfectly fresh, crisping up beautifully on the grill. The pork galbi had a deep, well-balanced marinade — not too sweet, not too salty — and every bite was tender and full of flavor. The side dishes were also great: the scallion salad, kimchi, radish cubes, and steamed egg all paired perfectly with the BBQ. The bubbling soup on the side added that cozy, authentic Korean comfort touch. The grill setup was clean and well-maintained, and the staff was attentive throughout the meal. The owner was especially kind and welcoming, which made the entire experience even better. Overall, this place delivers a truly satisfying Korean BBQ experience — excellent meat, delicious sides, and warm, attentive service. I would definitely come back again!

The restaurant was conveniently located near where we were spending time, so we decided to give it a try. Since we were really hungry, we ordered several dishes that caught our attention, and to our surprise, every single one tasted great. The portions were very generous. They also served plenty of side dishes, all of which were tasty, though the homemade tofu was my personal favorite. The wait time was about 60 mins yesterday - Thursday but if you are patient, they may call your number and name quickly. The service was also fast, efficient, and attentive throughout the meal.

Conveniently located where we stayed at, it was cold that night and so we decided to eat here. We were starving so we ordered a couple of things that looked appetizing. Surprisingly, everything was delicious! Big serving for sure, there were three of us with quite an appetite and we had left overs. The rice was $2 but it was a huge bowl enough for four people. Plenty of side dishes too, all of which are good. Personally, I enjoyed the fish. Wait was fast, we did not make a reservation, it was Sunday at around 7pm. Service was quick and prompt too.

We stopped in for a work lunch after noticing there’s usually a line outside and wanting to see what the hype was about. We arrived fairly early to avoid the wait, which turned out to be a good call. I can understand why the place is so busy, they have some solid lunch specials. Are they good enough for me to wait in a long line for? Probably not. But they’re definitely good enough to come early and skip the wait. The space itself was quite crowded and had a bit of a chaotic feel. That said, we never felt rushed, which was nice, even though there was a constant sense of movement and energy all around us. I ordered the pollock lunch special, which came with soup, and I chose the oyster soup. It was excellent, really fresh and clean tasting, almost like the ocean in a bowl. My friends ordered the seafood pancake, seafood tofu stew, and bulgogi with spicy tofu stew. Everything looked solid and was enjoyed at the table. Overall, I can see the appeal of this place, and I’d definitely come back to try more items on the menu.

Vibrant, buzzing high quality Korean dining experience. We arrived around 4pm on a Sunday, Google said it was as busy as it gets but also about a 15min wait, which was correct! You can trust Google’s guesstimate. You can’t go wrong with any of the items but we highly recommend you order one of the pancakes, and any of the bulgogis. My wife really enjoyed the complimentary buckwheat water, as well as the pickled and fermented bites they serve prior to your meal.

A slight snafoo with the waitlist technology did not stop Cho Dang Gol from perfecting our night! We had a moment of panick when an automated message responded shortly after we were notified our table was ready that we had lost our reservation? I showed the hostess our messages and she got us seated right away despite the technology mistake and waitlist growing longer! The banchan came first with little bites of assorted kimchi vegetables and some anchovy peanuts. Then we were served the fresh in house tofu - very pure and delicious form of soy! We ordered the dinner set for two - the perfect entry meal into Cho Dang Gol in my opinion. Everything came out piping hot. Everything was so good. Our waiter suggested the spicy chicken for next time! I definitely recommend this place but it does get busy. We arrived right at 5p on a Friday night and the waitlist was only 30 mins!

Overall a top notch restaurant. Definitely a 4.5. We went early Sunday evening so not crowded but they sat us at a window at our request. Open and airy and beautiful. Flowers add a lovely pop of color to the room and it didn’t bother me that they were artificial but I did notice it. Service was attentive and friendly. Fell off a little later in our meal but I think he was the only server and they had a few tables. Beef tartare was classic which for me is perfect. Great knife cuts and very tender meat. Brussel sprouts were very good but I need to stop ordering them because if done well they are all the same. We each had a pasta and they were both delicious. I have said this before but believe it is true. Simple is the hardest thing to do. The pasta with red sauce was cravable. Perfect al dente and rich flavor. Pesto pasta also great. Pasta cooked well and the nuts added great texture. Overall we really enjoyed this restaurant and will definitely return. We tend to be bar people and this bar is lovely but dark. The tables by the window are a lovely way to enjoy some cocktails and good food. Also focaccia was spectacular and white bean dip it was served with was great.

We had an incredible experience at Ai Fiori, and my girlfriend and I truly can’t say enough good things about the team and the level of hospitality they showed us. We dined there on Valentine’s Day, and while there was a delay with the set-course meal, which was a bit disappointing in the moment, the way they handled it completely turned the experience around. The staff acknowledged the delay sincerely and professionally, and they went above and beyond by inviting my girlfriend and me back for dinner on them. When we returned, everything was exceptional. The food was absolutely amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed every plate on the menu, especially the lobster and ravioli! What impressed us most was their professionalism and integrity. It’s not every day that a restaurant takes responsibility in such a generous way, especially during a busy holiday service. That level of care speaks volumes about their standards. My girlfriend and I would absolutely love to come back again, and we’ll be recommending Ai Fiori to everyone, friends and family included. Wishing them continued success and all the best moving forward.

Went for Restaurant Week ($60 per person). The food and drinks were incredible. Three course meal of the most delicious food. Well prepared and beautiful. The restaurant was gorgeous and the service was great. I would love to come back here again. The highlight for me was the Butternut Squash Soup. It was so good! The portion sizes were perfect for me.
Caroline Montana - 5 months ago

Absolutely loved our experience at Ai Fiori. The flower decorations and overall ambiance are beautiful, elegant, warm, and inviting. The food was outstanding: the lobster bisque was rich and flavorful, and both the Maine lobster and the ink squid dishes were absolutely delicious. Even the coffee was excellent. Special shoutout to Ismail, our server, who provided exceptional service, attentive, warm, and professional. Everyone we encountered was friendly, and the hospitality was truly top-notch. A wonderful dining experience from start to finish. Highly recommend.

Seating by the entrance and more in the back but cramped. Not for sitting long to eat so waited just a little to get a high table. Fast, casual. The shelves and cashiers are in the center of the space. Packed food ready to eat or heat up first- soups, sides, single food items to individual meals.Beverage section next to the cashiers. Liked the spicy tuna salad roll, and wildrice roll with crabmeat - @$5.50 each, bite-sized and tasty. Steamed fish with ginger was still warm, had it with purple rice $2.50. The white fish filet jeon was eggy, and the anchovies were too sweet. Tiny restroom available, key from the cashier.

Fast casual home cooked Korean. Come here if you want an amazing quick bite! We got the Fried chicken, kimbap, beef scallion pancake, miso soup, and cucumber salad. Everything comes prepackaged in take out containers and they have microwaves if you want to eat in. Really great concept for all types of occasions and prices are super reasonable!

Happy with the variety of meals and price! They also offer many sitting area and restroom! People are pretty considerate on their time spent in the shop, so its not impossible to get some seat to enjoy your food! Tried their spam kimchi rice and some fried noodle with shrimp and it was great! The shrimp noodle was around $5 and has lots of shrimp! Very great price!

Interesting set up. Found tucked away in the middle of the busy k town block. If you are not looking for it you could just walk right by it. Just like ok the sidewalk, inside the store also has Very high traffic. But just like the street it moves. Streams of people browsing past a sea of to go containers on seemingly temporary mobile shelving. There is a variety of Asian food to choose from. Some familiar foods, some not. Had to sift through the containers to find something I would like. Basically, Come in, get food, sit and eat or leave. Bargain prices. Quality is as expected for only 5.50 a tempora roll and 5 for spicey string beans.

If you’re craving Korean food and don’t feel like cooking, Woorijip is one of my favorite spots. It’s basically a Korean takeout counter where everything is already made fresh and ready to grab. You can get bibimbap, kimbap, mandu, and a bunch of other classic Korean dishes, then just heat them up and eat. I used to go to H Mart for prepared food, but Woorijip actually has a wider selection of ready-made meals and everything tastes really fresh. It’s also super affordable. If you’re having friends over or hosting something at your place, this is such an easy move. Just grab a few different dishes, put them out, and it feels like you ordered a whole Korean spread. Definitely recommend.

A lot can change over the years, but Ayza Wine Bar just keeps getting better. I have a long history with this spot. I first visited in 2012, then returned in 2015, 2021, and finally head back last night. Watching this Midtown staple evolve since they first opened in 2007 has been a true pleasure, and this most recent visit was easily the best yet. The menu has grown tremendously over the years, and we had a fantastic time exploring a wide variety of the plates. As a wine educator and writer, what I appreciate most about Ayza is their dedicated focus on the synergy between wine and food as a cohesive experience, rather than an afterthought. The hospitality was top-tier from start to finish. We kicked off the evening with a crisp, refreshing Crémant and great conversation, followed by an excellent Sonoma Pinot Noir that paired beautifully with our dishes. I recently reviewed NYC wine bars for my blog, and Ayza is sitting right at the top of the charts. Whether you are a casual wine lover or a seasoned enthusiast, this Midtown gem is highly recommended.

Lovely restaurant that offers delicious chocolate martinis at happy hour prices! I enjoyed my time and will definitely be back. EDIT: Returned and the service was superb! No wait time to be seated, again. My friend and I returned on a weekday early evening. I haven't been here on the weekends but I could imagine it getting busy so make reservations. I added pictures and the food was DELICIOUS. Thank you for a wonderful experience! (Also has a heated outdoor seating option if ppl are interested).

I had a good experience. I started with the lemon garlic shrimp, then had the lobster ravioli, ending with the chocolate lava cake. The atmosphere is cute and sexy, making it a great spot for a date night. The presentation of the food was beautiful. The service was attentive throughout the night. The only downside is that the tables are very close together, so it can feel like you’re on a double date with the people next to you. Still, I would definitely recommend it for a cute little date night.

A chic and unique wine bar featuring chocolate pairing. Don't let the name fool you - there's also quite a bit to eat here... We actually came for a night cap - had the must-have chocolate martinis, hazelnut and raspberry, both were delicious. We also had a cheese platter and a fondue eith fruit, marshmallows and rice crispies. While the cocktails were stellar - the rest was rather forgettable. But it does feel like the unique combination of chocolate and wine should be enjoyed here. All in all, a very recommended place for the lovers of both wine and chocolate.

We didn't realize until after we booked a reservation that this is inside Macy's. However - it was delicious! Our server was very attentive and friendly, the food came out quickly and was really good. A few of us split a margarita pizza, calamari, and the burrata & asparagus salad and we loved it all. The cocktails were also fantastic!

Travelled from Athens, Greece to NY two weeks ago. Not for the first time. Nice food, beautiful view (Empire State building nearby, One Vanderbilt), yet not crowded. Minimal, light-color decoration. Last but also important: polite, accomodating staff. Jacklyn is a very good server! 👏

A friend introduced me to Stella restaurant. An Italian restaurant with a huge beautiful marble bar and view of the Empire State Building on top of Macys department store?! Yes, please! This peaceful restaurant is a wonderful respite from the crowdedness of the street below. I come here frequently and the bartender Saleem is always attentive and friendly. The food is excellent with homemade pastas and brick oven pizzas. I’m not a salad person but I love the ones here. I’ve taken family and friends here. We are always seated immediately and usually with a view. They consider this an “insiders spot” and who am I to argue?

The place is very spacious and immediately feels new and well designed, with everything clean and organized. Walking through, we discovered different sections, the bakery, pizza station, and even a sushi department, which made it feel more like a full food market than just a cafe. Everything we tried was fresh and very tasty, and the service was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. In the end, it turned out to be a great experience, and we’d definitely recommend it.

We went to Jerusalem Cafe today and everything was honestly great. The location is super convenient right near shopping and close to Times Square, which made it an easy stop. We tried a little of everything: an Impossible burger, pizza, wraps, and even sushi, and it was all delicious. Huge bonus that they also have boba drinks and amazing milkshakes. Definitely a fun spot with tons of option. We will be back for sure!

We ordered from the hot buffet because we arrived at the restaurant at 7:30 p.m. and they close 8:00, so that was the only thing that they told us was available, I took some pasta with marinara sauce, it was worse than lunch that I was served in school, I also had roasted mushrooms which is really hard to mess up, and that was also pretty tasteless, I also ordered the teriyaki salmon, The flavor was okay but it was extremely dry, The only positive part about it was that being that it was after 4:00 p.m. the hot buffet was 50% off, so at least I didn't pay a lot for my tasteless food, guys please get your act together, here's one quick fix for your marinara pasta, use trader Joe's marinara sauce instead of whatever tasteless garbage you are using now.

BCD Tofu House is one of those classic Korean restaurants you just can’t miss in New York. It has a long-standing reputation, and at this point, it feels like a must-visit spot for Korean food in the city. The soon tofu stew is rich, flavorful, and served piping hot, just like in Korea. The side dishes are solid, and the overall quality is very consistent. It’s always busy, which says a lot about how popular it is. If you’re craving authentic Korean comfort food in NYC, this place delivers. 👉 Check my profile for travel tips & booking deals.

Ordered the LA Galbi combo, with the price at almost $30, I didn’t expect to have just a mini size tofu soup, which they didn’t mention on the menu. The soup itself tasted good with the raw egg as a highlight, the galbi is overly tenderised and too sweet for me. They don’t provide free refill of rice or banchan, but instead, they give you the crispy rice with water from the base of the stone rice pot, which is not my cup of tea. I have had better quality, same amount with free refill of rice and banchan, and cheaper lunch combo($20) at another Korean restaurant on the same street.

Great spot in Koreatown for a last minute late dinner. The food was really good and the atmosphere felt lively but still casual. There was a line outside, but it moved quickly and we got seated faster than expected. If you are looking for a place with good food and a good vibe that is not dead at night, this is a solid choice.

My friend who used to study in Korea said that the taste is authentic. The soups are good and the Spicy Raw Crab Combo is yummy. I have to be frank, other dishes are not outstanding. However, the restaurant is still packed on a Friday night in the heart of NYC, so I bet there are a lot of people appreciate the food.
