There was a lot of hype with this place. I decided to pay a visit for ice cream, as we have had a few cakes from her and it was always delicious. However, they ran out of cones!?!?! How did that happen for such a well known place that advertise how wonderful their ice cream was? As I was paying, my ice cream was already dripping on the table. The service was okay. Lady didn't seem too enthusiastic that we only ordered ice cream, so that was that. Don't think I would come back here for ice cream, but will certainly be back for other desserts.

We love this place. Every time we come to NYC, we make a stop to Little Italy and visit this place for the desserts. Today, we dined in and decided to get some coffees and some desserts to share. We got two cappuccino's, a cortado, assorted cookies, tiramisu and a fruit tart. The coffees came up first and we were not satisfied. It was biter and wanted to have them redone cause no amount of sugar was fixing it. We brought it to our servers' attention, and she wanted to explain to us how the coffee was made. We explained that we knew coffee and would just want it remade to our liking. She contacted her Manager and he 'approved' it. We can say that the second time it came out, it was great. No complaints. The sweets were all delicious, as always. I would still recommend this place, 10/10.

Awesome spot in Little Italy. We ordered the prosciutto and fig pizza, along with desserts. All of it was delicious. Felt bad for the one server who was doing everything - taking orders, bussing tables and serving. Took a while got him to make his way around to us but the wait was well worth it. Highly recommend the cannolis, gelato and tiramisu.

Food and desserts were very good. No wait to enter, we got a seat quickly. Our waiter ignored us, we had to keep getting his attention. When we sat down he gave us the dessert menu and we had to tag him down to get the food menu, then the same to get the dessert menu and check. He never checked in to see if we needed water or refills or anything and the place wasn't that crowded.

When we come to Little Italy, we always come looking for some Italian pastries, especially cannolis. So, I’m glad we stumbled upon this establishment! We decided to come dine in. We ordered two different pastries from the menu and some coffee. The prices are somewhat steep, for a typical pastry. We also took a restroom break, which is great in the busy NYC streets. We also stocked up on some prepackaged imported snacks. Granted, there is no need to sit down and dine there. For those who don’t want to sit down and dine in, you can also take the gelato or pastries to go. Usually the large outdoor crowd is there to buy their to go gelato. Come in, make a line inside to place your to go order.

To start things of --> go there on Friday at 1am that's when you will have the best time there but nevertheless it is always a good place to go as my buddies and I used to say "Let's go Home...... Sweet Home!" (It's an insider now). Great drinks and great dancefloor even that you have an option to hang your coats somewhere without paying even tho you take the risk of them getting stolen but I have been there 5 times and they never got stolen. Age range is quite good, normally it's Collage age but sometimes there are some older people too which is okay I guess. The best thing to say is that the bouncer is nice and sensible. I have experienced a lot of bouncers being a**holes and misusing their power. But the bouncers at Home Sweet Home are likeable. Shout-out.

This is a classic Lower East Side basement dive that gets super crowded and plays party tunes to a bunch of entitled little scumbags. If you want to get drunk and dance to hit songs this is the place.

Very neat vibe and unique experience. The drinks were just okay, but THE DJ WAS DOPE! 10/10 recommend vibing out here just for the music remixes and choice
Alex Borg - a year ago

We ended up here on a Friday around 2am. The place was EMPTY. Music was … oldie pop - judge for yourself if you like that. Drinks were not good - super cheap alcohol

The restaurant is not the cheapest option, but it offers a beautiful dining environment and delicious Cantonese cuisine. It's a must-visit for anyone looking to experience authentic Cantonese flavors. Many Chinese patrons consider it a favorite and return frequently. While it might be a bit pricey, the quality of the food and the overall experience make it worth the visit. If you appreciate fine dining and enjoy exploring different culinary traditions, this restaurant should definitely be on your list.

Came here for lunch with my staff. Got a bunch of different food to share. Big portion of food which I love. It was affordable and everyone left happy. Some of the dishes were salty but it was okay. Overall great food and awesome service. We got half of the garlic chicken, beef chow ho fun , beef fried noodle, bok choy, young fried rice , fried shrimp.

Solid Cantonese showcasing all of the classic dishes. Fast and tasty Chinese in a big and busy restaurant which is knocking out Chinese comfort foods - congee, Chinese vegetable (get the pea shoots) and a wide range of seafood and meat dishes. Notes about scoring: 1 star = Memorably awful 2 star = Not good and would avoid 3 star = Good but would not return 4 star = Recommended 5 star = Incredible and must visit if you can

Delicious ambrosial fantastic dishes. The fish is sooo fresh with the scallions. Clocking the server they don’t serve a good face (cuz it’s a chinese restaurant don’t expect white service) but they made sure you are fed enough food and not over ordering. They gave us a pot of daily soup and dessert for free!

Authentic Cantonese styled food. Some of the best congee and e-noodles I’ve had in NY. Congee texture is terrific, flavorful and nicely cooked. Food portions are great and prices reasonable. Good service but recommend calling for reservations or getting there early during dinner hours.

Classic Vietnamese fair in the Chinatown area of downtown NYC. In my opinion, this is the place you want to go if you want a no frills experience, just solid good food. This time I got Shrimp Summer Rolls & the Grilled Pork Rice Vermicelli salad. This is perfect for a hot summer day. All delicious!
Patrick No - 3 weeks ago

20 years ago, this was one of the better, of the rare Vietnamese spots. This was when non-Asians thought Vietnamese food was Panda Express. Yeah, you did - Karen. It’s rather pedestrian these days, but still solid. No longer a destination, but if in the hood- it’s a relatively cheap option. Prices have practically doubled since I first came here, but so has almost everything else in the city/ world. Price to portion: standard Destination: no Repeat offender: only when I’m in the hood and the craving hits

This was my first time here or eating pho in general. The service was quick. My friend recommended pho with roundeye cut of beef. She said it's the perfect way to introduce a new person to pho. She was not wrong. The food was delicious. The plate of veggies was a giant heap of fresh herbs, jalapeños, sprouts and lemon. Springrolls appetizer was crispy and not greasy.
Yevgeniya Pechenaya - 4 months ago

The pho was good but the service is horrible. Me and my friend were not done eating yet and they gave us our bill, they were rushing us to leave. The spring rolls looked smaller than usual and the summer rolls were just bad.
Jenny Yang - 4 months ago

My friend and I went to this Vietnamese restaurant for lunch. He recommended me to watch here because he's been a customer for years The service was fine at first but when we got food and later when we had some of it and wanted to have more vegetables (side dish for pho) the waiter asked us "what's the vegetable for? We're going to charge it" my friend said "Okay, just bring the vegetables, we wanted to have it whether you charged it or not" If the waiter just said "that's an extra charge" it'd be better response when costumers came to support the business and spent money on the food The food was good nothing to complain about it

This was my first experience at a vegetarian only restaurant. I was very excited to try it and looking forward to the tasting menu experience to be able to try many dishes. Each course was smart, creative, tasty, and filling. I didn’t miss the meat at all! I had a seat at the counter so I enjoyed watching the talented chefs cook during my meal. Check it out if you enjoy vegetarian dining. But don’t miss it even if you aren’t strictly vegetarian.
Michael Spain - a month ago

Amazing staff and even better food. We got to sit at the chef table and watched them prepare the dishes which was a fun experience. The courses were amazing and I was blown away by the chef treats. The standouts for me were the artichoke and the lasagna. Also the cocktails hit the spot, I thought the tamarind and ginger drink was amazing. Overall I highly recommend, i love finding nice places to bring my vegan girlfriend. One of the better plant focused restaurants I’ve been to.

Went for the Canamex event on July 3. The food was even better than usual. Inventive. Delicious. A platter of 6 snack sticks came first. One for each person. We then each got a cheeseburger and hot dog, with multiple delicious sides to share. Dessert was a creamsicle. See the menu photo I posted for the details of this incredible vegetarian meal. Dirt Candy is always inventive and full of flavors. A must try for creative, vegetarian cooking.

This was our first vegetarian menu and we all loved it. The tastes were delicious and new to several of us. The atmosphere was fun and energetic but not too much to make us feel like we’re in a scene. The wine selection was superb and we shared a bottle that was exactly what we asked for. The only downside of our adventure to Dirt Candy was the staff. 1. Having these reservations a month in advance and knowing the dietary restrictions there were, the kitchen should have been more accommodating in providing a selection to replace something for the one allergy in our party. The staff was very adamant that they would only allow a substitution of one of the other courses in the problem dish. While we understand the chef didn’t want to put something out she wouldn’t like or isn’t good, the allergy and restriction was know again, a month in advance. 2. Our servers were S A S S Y, and not in a catty enjoyable way. But making jokes that a long-time friend would make. The first being a comment made about “This isn’t my first time.” When we were just trying to get reassurance for the allergy in our party. And the other was a really unneeded comment about the white dress our party member was wearing which was referred to as “I love your wedding dress” or something along the lines. Tone, time, and place all matter. Other than the service, the food and atmosphere were a hit.

After getting our schedules aligned, a friend and I were finally able to check out Dirt Candy. I have been following them before there was any inkling of me ever living in NYC and I was so excited to finally go and the experience did not disappoint. Service was absolutely amazing from the moment we arrived. Staff was informative and attentive without being intrusive. I asked a question about a dish and when they didn't know the answer they went and asked the chef. Now let's get to the food. If you follow their Instagram everything they make is absolutely gorgeous. As for taste? I don't have the words to even begin describing the culinary adventure they took us on. They started with the familiar flavor of cucumber but served it in a fun and imaginative way. Each course that followed was somehow even better than the last and got more adventurous as it progressed. The meal was 5 courses with 3 amuse-bouche sprinkled throughout. The star for me out of the savory dishes was the romanesco (4th course) it was fried to absolute perfection while still being maintaining it's integrity (no mushy vegetables here). I loved that it had flavors near and dear to my Mexcian heart but served in such a unique way. Now dessert. Not going to lie, when I read a dessert banh mi with bok choy and Sriracha merengue I had my doubts. Buy oh Dirt Candy made me a believer! It was absolutely insane! None of those ingredients scream dessert to me but they did it. It was the most adventurous and innovative course of the night. My fried and I have decided we will be going every time they change out their menu. Almost forgot, cocktails are amazing! This place is well deserved of its Michelin star.

Excellent vegan options! So delicious!! A must try when visiting Bakery Square!
Rachel Whitlinger - a year 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 - 11 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.

Came in at 7 pm on a Friday, seated immediately. Ordered 2 appetizers and got them within minutes, then 2 rolls and drinks, and got them even faster. We were out of there by 7:20. Talk about speed! Food was amazing, great music and really nice atmosphere. Very very fresh and delicious sushi. Highly recommended

Zest Sushi is a cute casual spot located in the lower east side. Possibly the best sushi happy hour deal I have seen in Manhattan, with a wide variety $6 rolls, appetizers, mini dons, fried rice, and drinks! You can find this deal every day between 4:30-7pm. The sushi is decent for the price, and service is decent as well. Just note, they don’t take reservations and it is walk-in only, so if you want to take advantage of happy hour, you should get there at least around 6pm, with an anticipated 30 minute wait. If you are super picky about your sushi, I wouldn’t recommend this place for you, but otherwise, Zest Sushi makes for an affordable dinner out!

There was scallion ginger and chili crisp on my sashimi. And I'm dipping this in Chinese soy sauce. For those of you who don't understand why that's weird, I guess you're part of the folks who gave this place a high food rating. Don't know if you'll also like finding a scale and salmon bone like I did though. Even the most amateur sushi chef should know how to prepare fish.

This place has become my favourite sushi spot in New York city! They just tick all the boxes in terms of food quality, service and the vibe. I went there for lunch on my wife’s birthday and everything was perfect. Although we wanted to sit outdoors but they were really busy so we had to sit inside. The service was great the food doesn’t take long to order. They also have a great happy hour menu which starts from 4:30 to 7 pm. Make use of their happy hour menu its a bargain. I ordered 2 of the crispy sushi thingy! just ask the server they know what you’re looking for. The octopus tentacle was very good and also the crab salad. The portions are perfect for sharing so i got to taste everything. The beef fried rice is also very good. I will definitely return again to try different items.

Absolutely fantastic food! Everything was so delicious and we can’t wait to go back again! Had the guacamole and house made chips, steak tacos and enchiladas verdes along with a Paloma Margarita. Yum yum yum! Our waiter Justino was fantastic and very personable - can’t wait to go back again! Delicious!

The Al Pastor & Carnitas tacos slapped. Great ambiance and friendly bartender. We loved the tequila infusions and their mezcal list. Wish we saved room for more! We will be back next time we are in town.

We had the classic margarita, tamarind mezcalita, guacamole, tuna tostada and barbacoa (the reason I come here 😋). All delicious and authentic. Service was just ok. Server not as attentive.
Hemala Ramgahan - 3 months ago

Ok place. Nothing special. The ceviche was very disappointing- it tasted like fruit salad with very little fish. The tacos were dry and boring . The fish tacos was probably the best. Waitress was very sweet but she was on her own which made us really feel bad for her running around .
Ido Simyoni - a year ago

Can almost never go wrong with tacos and Barrio Chino didn't disappoint. Arrived on a somewhat busy night without reservation. Outdoor seating was readily available. We had chicken, and steak tacos. You have a choice of ordering two or three tacos. You can only pick one type (chicken, or steak, etc). So we ordered two chicken and two steak tacos and switched one out. Servers were nice and attentive. The tacos came out fast and were delicious.

This is comfort food. I've been going here for many years, and this place has not changed, which is a good thing. We ordered Scallion Pancake w. Aromatic Beef, Soup Dumplings with Crab Meat and Pork, and Seafood Pan Fried Noodles. Everything was delicious. Part of me feels like I should try different menu items each time I visit, but I always crave the same dishes. Hopefully I can continue to visit this place for many more years.
Jenny - 2 months ago

My first stop whenever I am in New York. The dumplings, lo mein and fried rice are my favorite but everything here is amazing. Prices are good, service is quick and the food is delicious & hot! Cannot go wrong with this staple!

Great Chinese comfort food for a great price. Staff is super friendly and provides exceptional service time after time. Been coming here for over ten years and although people and names may have changed, they always deliver what I'm craving.

Stopped by this restaurant while in Chinatown and had a great meal. My party went around early lunch time and there were not a lot of people there. We were seated immediately and service was fast after ordering. Everything we ate was good and if you like soup dumplings, this is the place for you. I enjoyed how it was right off the street, but it was quiet inside. There was a bathroom which was clean, but the steps to get there are a little steep for those with mobility issues. Personally, one of my favorite things was the boba tea I got because in my opinion they make it better than some other places I tried in the same area. Waiter stayed out of the way but was available when needed. Would eat here again.

1. The food is decent, I would only recommend the soba and nothing else. The Stamina Don is not a “Powerful Bowl Dish”or “Gut-Busting, it is bland and not spicy. 2. The portions and taste of the appetizer was not worth the money to try. 3. The service was excellent, they rearranged the seating for our large group in a small restaurant. 4. The atmosphere was nice and homey, on busy days it can become crowded.

First and foremost, this place is cash only! My friend and I entered on a chilly April evening and immediately ordered their Gyokuro green tea to warm up. I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty their veggie gyoza was (#2 on my top list for gyozas). They had a gingery flavor and did not taste like the basic ones you may find elsewhere. Now for the entrée, I got the vegan mera mera soba, and honestly, it's worth the hype. Delicious and savory broth with a great mix of vegetables complement the warm soba. Overall, a cozy vibe. We got the green tea affogato for dessert, and I don't regret that we each got our own. Pouring the green tea over the red bean, mochi, corn flakes, and green tea ice cream was fun to watch, and the tea acted as a flavoring for these dessert bases.

Super cute ramen spot with a ton of veggie options. I got the dip soba and it was delicious and also made eating it fun. It was nice and hot to the very last bite! This is definitely now my go to spot for ramen and noodle soup!
Veggies and Vistas - 4 months ago

One of the best ramen I have ever had! We tried the Vegan Ramen & the Vegan Mera Mera Soba. If you like some spice in your life and want to feel some zing then don’t think twice. Just keep some cash in your pocket and order the Vegan Mera Mera Soba (it’s damn good!) If you prefer less spice, go for the Vegan Ramen. It is also really good. However, for me hands down it’s Vegan Mera Mera Soba. And yes, don’t forget to carry cash (cards not accepted)
Pallav Jain - 6 months ago

Soba noodles were decent, however $20 price tag was detached from reality. No sides were included to help justify the valuation. Too add insult to injury they charged me extra on top of the $20 to increase the spice level.
