We come here multiple times every time we come to the city. Annamaria makes you feel like family. Treating my daughter like her own grandchild. Letting her taste whatever she wanted. Sat and talked to us for several minutes made recommendations. Absolutely loved speaking with her. Eric was our server both times we went and he was awesome!! The desserts speak for themselves this place hasn’t been open for over 130 years for no reason. It’s a must in little Italy 🇮🇹 🤌🏻😘

3.7 stars. Pricey. Small gelato was around $8. Quick family ice cream run with tip ran us $36. Flavor was average. Service was good. Interior was colorful with various sweets and treats enticing you to blow your diet. Worth checking out as this is an institution. Just bring your wallet though!

First Italian bakery in the US so definitely go be a part of history! 😉 Tiramisu has a silk texture, absolutely delectable!!! Lobster tail was a good one too given it wasn’t too sweet and very nice fresh and crunchy!! Service was poor.. right from looking to be seated to having someone take the order to getting hold of someone for a cheque.. It wasn’t busy in a Friday afternoon! Overall I would recommend a “GO”

Ferrara Bakery & Cafe in Little Italy is a true New York treasure. We tried both the classic cannoli and the chocolate-dipped version—absolutely delicious! The filling was creamy and flavorful without being overly sweet, just the way it should be. The fig cookies were another standout and definitely a must-try. Beyond the incredible pastries, the staff made the experience unforgettable. Our server treated us like family and was just the sweetest, and the cappuccino she made was one of the best I’ve ever had. Between the warm service, the welcoming atmosphere, and the unforgettable treats, Ferrara is a must-visit spot in Little Italy.

Your visit to Little Italy wouldn’t be complete without a stop at Ferrara Bakery and Cafe. The gelato is amazing. The cappuccino is authentic. The staff treats you like family. The ambiance is charming. The bathrooms are CLEAN. The bakery items are beautiful and so quintessentially Italian. I love all of it. 5 stars.

I visited Home Sweet Home during the Procession Goth night which was a fun experience! The place has a really cool vibe, although the audio system is really bad on the dancefloor. The speakers near the front of the bar were great but not so great near the restrooms. The staff were very friendly and always available to grab a drink from.

at first, I came here for the ambience, the atmosphere and the wild crafted cocktails but after some time, I really realize I was here for the customer service. savon, my favorite bartender and Seamus the sexy sex symbol really made this experience the best ever and I will be returning also they had really nice sour candy that they shared with me 10 out of 10

My favorite bar along Chrystie Street and one of the best bars in Manhattan hands down. Great crowds, variety of fantastic hip music! Live bands do perform every month. The selection of drinks are great from lagunitas to Hot Toddy’s, you will find your favorite drinks here, if you don’t see it, ask the bartenders and they’ll whip up your favorite! Great for couples and large groups! They have tables available. The atmosphere is dope with booming music and live DJ’s mixed with the disco ball and flashing lights, you can’t go wrong here, throw a birthday party and private events! Come on by Home Sweet Home 131 Chrystie Street and let’s have a party!!

I came here for a friend's birthday dinner and we had an amazing time. The interior of the restaurant is spacious and I love the cozy but very Chinese decor. Our waitress was so nice, easy to talk to, and fun. The service was really quick. We ordered hot and sour soup, peking pork, string beans, honey walnut shrimp, beef chow fun, short ribs, beef stew and radish casserole, and salted fish and eggplant casserole. Everything was delicious. My favorites were their peking pork, string bean, and casserole dishes. The honey walnut shrimp was good but the portions were okay for a group of 9. The beef chow fun was a great portion but I wish there was more flavor. Loved the short rib. They gave us complimentary watermelon at the end, as well as birthday flan for my friends and I. Had a great time and I think this is the perfect spot for some casual Chinese food with a big group of people (We got 10 dishes and the total ended up being only $240, post-tax for a group of 9! We all left STUFFED).

Been in NYC 12 years and this was my old go-to for college gatherings. Came back after 4–5 years and the taste is still spot on! Lively Chinatown vibe, great for groups (~$40pp). Crispy squab: crunchy skin, juicy meat Ginger scallion fish: fresh, perfectly cooked Garlic string beans: fragrant but a bit salty Pork liver & lean pork congee: rich and comforting Half garlic chicken: big portion, good texture Still my comfort food pick over newer Cantonese spots.
Ivy Ma - 2 months ago

I love coming here so much !! Their eponymous congees are so delicious and inexpensive (
Matthew Ho - 4 months ago

As a Chinese person, this is exactly what hits the spot when you’re missing home food. The best dish is the sweet and sour pork. The beef and rice roll casserole is also excellent - the beef is very tender. The service is kind and food comes out very quickly. You cannot go wrong by coming here!
Jennifer Zhang - a month ago

Really authentic Cantonese cuisine, every dish was incredibly delicious! Even back in China, it’s hard to find food this tasty and genuine. I definitely want to recommend this place to everyone. The only downsides were the service, which wasn’t great, and the cleanliness could be improved.

Very mid basic pho here. If you’re looking to satisfy your soupy craving for pho, this may do it. But don’t expect anything more than the average- run of the mill pho here. The broth is decent but nothing special. Average noodles and beef for the #1 pho dac biet too.
abcdan - a week ago

Love the vibe and food ! Everyone was super friendly! Very relaxing while enjoying a great meal. The curry mussels was amazing!
Randesha Giggers - 4 weeks ago

The spring rolls are also really crispy making it a good appetizer to start with before the pho. I got the #3 on the menu and the portions were pretty good for what it was worth. The broth here was also a plus that just made the whole experience better. Additionally the service here was very nice and polite. (forgot to take photos of the pho 🥲)

Went for a birthday treat, the atmosphere, staff and most importantly the food - left me speechless. Salivating in anticipation of the next course, flavour combinations, with beautiful colours and textures. All the staff were beyond friendly and were happy to engage with us, the vibe was so relaxing and welcomeing. Hands-down one of my most memorable and enjoyable meals to date. Worth every penny (sorry, dollar)

We have been to Dirt Candy four times, and every visit has been nothing less than outstanding. The fully vegetarian tasting menu is incredibly creative, beautifully presented, and always packed with flavor. It’s a place where both vegetarians and meat eaters can enjoy an inventive, satisfying meal. The pacing of the courses is perfect, with each dish building on the last without ever feeling rushed. The staff is warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, which makes the whole experience fun and memorable. Dirt Candy continues to surprise us with thoughtful dishes and unexpected flavor combinations, and it remains one of the best dining experiences in New York. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable night out.

Was treated here by my partner for my birthday. He had managed to squeeze in a reservation at 9:30 PM, and the restaurant was still very lively when we arrived. We never felt rushed. We sat on bar-style seating, which I ended up loving because we got a better view of the food being prepared. The atmosphere was very comforting -- warm lighting, not too noisy. The staff were so lovely and brought a playful energy. And of course, the food was awesome. It is truly a vegetable restaurant, with each course spotlighting a different kind. I loved that the flavors and textures were being explored so deeply through this approach, and it made me rethink the "mold" that each vegetable fits into in terms of how it's prepared, what it's paired with, etc. We are looking forward to coming back and trying new seasonal and off-menu dishes!
Grace Song - a week ago

This was above and beyond what I was expecting as I knew little about Dirty Candy going in. The vegetables shined in every way. There were salty, sweet, smokey, deliciously oily, and sometimes pungent. More sensations than most would expect from only earth grown ingredients. Tomato Twinkies will bring you back to your childhood while a rolled and grilled string bean pasta will give you new perceptions on what a long grain can be. Zucchini flowers with a tangy cream filling and sunflower array was fresh metaphorically and on the pallet. Along with the food, the service and vibe was energetic, inviting and caring. Small conversation with the staff made it obvious they care about what they do and are passionate. They'll also convey this with several gifts throughout as meal.

I came here for the first time a few days after the launch of their summer menu. As soon as you walk in you are greeted warmly and attended to promptly by a variety of staff the rest of your time there. The food and wine pairing was exceptional. For each dish you are told the story and intent, before being treated to a sensory treat. The dishes had variety of textures and flavors and the experience was well worth the price Definitely recommend!

Excellent vegan options! So delicious!! A must try when visiting Bakery Square!
Rachel Elder - 3 years ago

This is a typical hotel lounge and restaurant - not really anything to boast about. The decor was somewhat confused for a restaurant serving mostly Asian fare - it was a bit tiki lounge meets sports bar. My friend and i got there on the later side of the evening, and there was only one other table occupied. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The portions, although well made, were a bit small for the prices. We enjoyed our time there, and we were allowed to linger over our table until closing time. All in all, I would rate the place as a pretty run of the mill hotel restaurant, but with a very kind staff and decent food.
Yali Szulanski - 12 years ago

Subpar service. Waiter was not familiar with the menu, couldn't tell me when the fish is shipped in, and had to redo my order because they were out of items. Also took them 45 minutes to serve me edamame (I think he forgot). I was one of 2 tables being served in the restaurant. Tuna was good, yellowtail and salmon were "fishy" (apparently not stored/handled at proper temperature). I won't be back.

Best happy hour in the city!! If you love sushi and drinks you have to stop by here especially during their happy hour. It’s from 3:30pm-7:00pm with a $6 per item happy hour menu of hand rolls, appetizers, drinks, and more. The sushi itself was absolutely delicious! We ordered the spicy salmon, spicy tuna, and yellowtail. The spicy rolls were very flavorful without the spicy mayo taste of typical spicy rolls and even and had a little crisp to them. We also had the takoyaki which I loved, it was very flavorful and had only a subtle fishy taste. You HAVE to come here if you love good sushi and happy hour deals. On a Tuesday around 4pm we only waited at most five minutes to be seated and the service was very attentive for how busy the restaurant was. They also have outdoor seating which is great for the summer!

Great sushi spot! Intimate place, service that is very attentive and great prices. Came in for happy hour, and it was busy at 3 pm on a Tuesday (Which is how you know it’s good). The spicy rolls were very flavorful and filled with crunch! You could tell that it was fresh. The takoyaki was VERY DELICIOUS and authentic. Everyone was definitely having a great time, and this place has a great vibe.

Our first time at Zest. We enjoyed the sushi and other items on their happy hour menu. The tapas style sizes were a bargain and we got to try a lot of items for only $6. The sushi was fresh and innovative. Everything we tried was super tasty and yummy. We especially enjoyed the “Salmon Dream” and the salmon skin salad. Our kids liked the pork shumai and the chicken fried rice. Not very Japanese but still super yummy. The Sapporo beers were $6 for HH and a bargain. We came on the weekend and Broome street is super lively and becomes a pedestrian only street which makes it even more accessible. We want to come back soon to try the items on their happy hour menu which we missed since we left super full and happy. Leave room for mochi ice cream for dessert.

Small shop located in LES with good food. Happy hour prices are great and definitely worth stopping in for. Fried cheesecake was definitely our favorite. We'll be back.
Anthony M - a month ago

Food was pretty good. The price is very affordable for a place in lower Eastside. We had a bunch of their sushi rolls from their happy hour selections. The fried rice could be skipped but the purple fries were amazing with the honey mayo dip. I would definitely come back again

I just sat there for a juice and a mocktail on a dead-breeze summer evening. They have café tables outside if you only want drinks, and regular tables if you want to eat something. The place inside is nice, and outside is just outside — but it’s a good spot if you enjoy people-watching The service is 4 stars because the menu was super dirty and the waitress couldn't hide her frustration when we ordered mocktails.

If you're looking for a charming spot to enjoy a delicious meal, this place is a must-visit! We recently dined here and loved it. The chicken enchiladas were amazing, and the steak tacos were so flavorful! The atmosphere is so quaint and cozy, making it the perfect setting for a relaxed dinner. The service was fantastic, and we couldn’t get enough of the margaritas—definitely some of the best we've ever had. Overall, the food was a solid 5 stars! We can't recommend this place highly enough!
Lisa Bilinski - 4 months ago

I really liked the food, especially the tuna tostada for its complex flavor, and the mole was a close second with its intense flavor. I found the shrimp taco's flavor too mild in comparison, but not bad. I really wanted to like the place, it looks nice and the staff is friendly, however the food took forever to come out and the space indoors is extremely loud.

Stumbled upon this spot today and i am so happy i did. We were looking for a quick outdoor brunch spot and this had everything we wanted. Great margs - loved the hibiscus one. Fantastic food. And server was the sweetest. She needs a raise!

Absolutely loved this restaurant! The food was cheap but made me full with flavor and extraordinary taste! The food was seriously very good and these were the best dumplings I've had! However, I would like to add that you should clean up a bit and tidy up the space. Other than that, this was an amazing experience, thank you!
Iulia Bondareva (Julia) - 3 months ago

My daughter loves this place. We have been coming for years and she can’t get enough of the soup dumplings. We always get the Shanghai fried rice and the sesame chicken. The service is fast, and the staff is really friendly. You won’t get any cell phone service here, but it’s a plus, forces you to fully engage with the person you are with.
Issy M - 3 weeks ago

Had a delightful dining experience, the restaurant located in a prime spot between Chinatown and Little Italy. The Shanghainese food was incredibly tasty, reminiscent of the dishes I enjoyed in Shanghai and a signature dish I had in Hong Kong. The ambiance was clean and tidy, which added to the overall experience. One of the best features was that the dumplings 小籠包， 酸辣湯were made to order, resulting in them being fresh and juicy, definitely a must-try. Overall, this restaurant is good for finding authentic Shanghainese cuisine, and fit for business casual dinning.

If I remember correctly on the weekdays there is a discount on meals under “meat” on the menu from 11:00am to 3pm. I came here to eat with my bf for the first time and it’s amazing! Delicious food for $10 (we took advantage of the discount hehehe) Tip is not included so don’t forget to tip the waiters! Overall my favorite meal I tried so far is Sesame Chicken, I would definitely recommend to come eat ^_^

A chill and restful oasis amidst a stressful, filthy, stinky and noisy Chinatown. The food was fresh and tasty, the service inviting and comforting. I visited with my 96 year old MIL in a wheelchair and everyone here was very accommodating and pleasant. We'll be back.

Honestly. Unreal. So delicious. The mera mera soba has a deep sesame flavor. Its creamy. But not too heavy. So fragrant. Delicious. I understand why the ‘mera mera dip’ is an option now. It probably keeps the noodles from overcooking while they’re in the broth. The soup version (not dip) was amazing, but I’d try the dip next time to make sure the soba doesn’t keep cooking and get soft. They have cold noodles / cold soba which looks amazing and refreshing. The prices are ok. ~$18-20 per meal. For the quality, I think it’s worth it. Nice place to seat solo or with a group. They have several bar/window seats, which makes it good for a solo eat. I will go back for sure. Cash only !!! No card/credit.

Cash only spot - their sukiyaki cold soba was good, great texture. The difference in size is only in the amount of noodles. Seaweed salad was interesting, worth trying.
Susie Su - 2 months ago

Soba is nice, but also ordered their curry rice with came with exactly two pieces of undercooked potatoes, two pieces of overcooked carrots, and two random pieces of pork. Was not a good experience for the curry rice as it was a large yet the dish felt like mostly curry sauce and rice with improperly cooked ingredients.
Jeffrey Chen - 2 months ago

Such a cute spot. Good for date or 4. On the smaller side. The soba is so good. I want more asap. I had the kemchi one tho I would deff try other things next time. Don’t need the duck app. But the fried chicken was of course amazing
Jack Tuggle - 7 months ago

Finally have dined here after probably walking by this place over 100x getting off the Bowery J. This soba noodle spot is truly a delicious restaurant and shouldn’t be overlooked! It has high reviews for a reason. The Mera Mera soup is their #1 seller so i obviously picked that dish. It was delicious. Flavorful, savory, a bit spic. Super good and highly recommended. The Japanese Sticky Yam appetizer was new for me. Never had anything like it before. Tangy, crunchy, wet. It was alright. Not my thing. Solid hijiki, nice and nutty. 2 soups, an appetizer and a small side, and bottle of sake after T&T was $100. Not that bad.
