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 🇮🇹 🤌🏻😘

Amazing beautiful cafe I took my girl to. Ordered the special French toast meal and she got the acai bowl shown. We sat outside and the lady brought it to us. Even gave me the syrup and hot sauce. It tasted delicious and looked gourmet. Thank you very much to the workers here for producing such fantastic food. Coffee was fresh and great as well.

You have to try the breakfast panini here—it's one of the best, with unbelievably soft bread. The zucchini fritters are perfectly crispy, too. It's also a fantastic place for classic desserts like cakes, cannoli, and tarts.

While walking around Little Italy, I stopped by a pastry shop I chose based on Google reviews. I ordered a coffee and three different desserts. Two of the desserts were excellent, but one was not fresh, so I sent it back. Unfortunately, they didn’t even apologize. Their customer relations was very weak.

One of my favorite Italian pastry and bakery shops in New York City! Definitely the best one in Little Italy/Chinatown area!!! Most of other bakery shops usually get their pastries and bakeries from here, anyway. This is the quintessential classic Italian pastry shop everyone should visit in Little Italy. Pastries are absolutely delicious and service is great!! It was so good that we bought extras to take home, too. Highly recommended 👌 Scale 1-10: Food-9 Price-8 Service-10 Atmosphere-10 Cleanliness-9

My first visit here was on Halloween and have been back just a couple of times since then. I had a pretty decent time on Halloween and thought the DJ did a fine job. Played music that the crowd definitely was vibing to, dancing, and singing along. But the other times I went back was pretty much a letdown. Now I'm not personally a fan of "house music" but if you are then this could be just the spot for you. But the same beat over and over again, no lyrics, it's just hard to dance to. The overall vibe of the place is pretty neat. The underground basement vibes are super cool. Drinks are reasonably priced especially for NYC. But if I hear that there's a DJ and a Dance floor, I expect something that isn't "house music".

Checked out Home Sweet Home honestly, it was kind of a huge letdown. The crowd? Wayyy too young and loud for my liking. It felt more like a frat party than a chill bar. Lots of people barely able to hold a conversation over the music, which was cranked up way too high for a place that’s supposed to have a cool vibe. The place was overcrowded, too. It was hard to even get a decent spot to hang out. If you're not into squeezing past people all night and trying to order a drink over the noise, you might want to skip this one. Overall, not terrible, but definitely not my scene. I’d rather go somewhere with a more relaxed vibe and less chaos.

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.

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!!

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

Congee Village is a good option for a family-style banquet, offering a wide range of dishes that match the flavors you’d expect from Chinatown classics, and in some cases, edge just a bit higher for some dishes and not so much for others. The menu has enough variety to satisfy everyone at the table while still feeling rooted in tradition. They’re known for their congee, so it was a must-order, and it absolutely lived up to the reputation. Rich, comforting, and deeply flavorful, it’s easily one of the best bowls of congee I’ve had. The space is clean and comfortable, and while the service was just okay, the food portions, value and congee make up for it. If you’re craving classic Chinese comfort food with a standout congee program, Congee Village is worth the stop

Consistently great Cantonese style dishes in a vibrant atmosphere. Been serving the Chinatown community for decades now and withstood the test of time because they continue to serve great quality family style dishes. I took away one star because they “forgot” our steak order somehow. The menu is expensive, and honestly you cannot go wrong with any item. But the classics and our favorite is always the fried squid and assortment of congees for its namesake! Be sure to make a reservation if you have a big party- you can even request for private room ( some with karaoke) if you meet the required minimum spending. Walking in during prime time lunch means a wait for sure. The place gets super loud and packed so be prepared to yell at each other to converse. All in all, a must try/go to restaurant in Chinatown!

Food is decent, tastes the same as other Chinese eateries. Service was alright, they were busy and when we ask for something we had to ask multiple times to get it. We had to wait like 15 minutes for the receipt to come out after we asked. Atmosphere was alright, the decors and stuff were decent. I would say though the price is pretty high much higher than other places that would get you about the same thing. It’s recommended that you reserve a table if you have a large group of people and it’s for dinner time as lots of people come here.

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.

I was still eating my pho and the waiter brought the check. They were not closing and they had plenty of empty tables on a slow day. I wanted to order more drinks, dessert and additional food to go. They cleaned up table and took my side dish which I was still eating. Terrible service
candas gulsoy - 2 weeks ago

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 - 3 months ago

Typical Vietnamese restaurant. The meat serving with the Pho was bigger than in other stores. Service was quick as it was before noon but don’t understand why they would clean the table while you are on it eating very unprofessional why I gave a 3-star.

Tucked into the lively rhythm of Chinatown, Phở Grand is one of those rare New York institutions where time seems to slow—just enough for a familiar bowl of broth to feel like a homecoming. As a regular, you begin to understand why this unpretentious spot has sustained its loyal following for decades: it delivers comfort with the quiet confidence of a place that knows exactly who it is. The phở is the star, of course—its broth deeply layered, shimmering with the kind of clarity that only comes from hours of tending. Each bowl arrives fragrant with star anise and charred aromatics, light yet impossibly rich, the sort of balance that feels deceptively simple until you try to find it anywhere else. The slices of beef are tender, the noodles silken, and the accoutrements—Thai basil, lime, crisp sprouts—always fresh enough to brighten the entire bowl. Yet to visit Phở Grand only for the phở would be a mistake. The grilled pork chops are a quiet triumph: beautifully marinated, lightly caramelized on the edges, and carrying a smoky sweetness that pairs effortlessly with broken rice. It’s a dish that feels both everyday and indulgent—exactly the kind of plate regulars claim as their own. Service is brisk in the way that Chinatown restaurants often are—efficient, unfussy, and warm once you become part of the familiar faces that return week after week. The dining room hums with a steady chorus of families, longtime locals, and savvy diners who know that some of the city’s best meals are found where pretension is joyfully absent. Phở Grand isn’t trying to reinvent anything. Instead, it perfects the essentials: a restorative bowl of broth, a plate of grilled pork done right, and an atmosphere that rewards your loyalty with consistency. In a neighborhood rich with culinary options, this is the place you return to—not because it is flashy, but because it feels like yours.

I’m giving Dirt Candy in New York a full five stars, and honestly, it deserves every bit of that rating. The food here is exceptional — creative, flavorful, and executed with real precision. Every dish feels unique, thoughtful, and beautifully balanced. The atmosphere is relaxed but polished, making it an easy place to enjoy a long, satisfying meal without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. One thing I strongly recommend is choosing the wine pairing. Each course comes with a different wine selected specifically to match the flavors of the dish, and they absolutely nail it. The pairings elevate the food instead of overpowering it. You can tell the team put real effort into curating drinks that enhance the entire dining experience. If you’re coming here, don’t skip that option — it’s worth it. The service was outstanding. The staff were attentive, warm, and genuinely enthusiastic about what they were serving. Dirt Candy is a no-tip restaurant, which I respect, but my server took such good care of me that I felt compelled to insist on giving her something extra. It took a bit of convincing, but she eventually accepted it with a big smile, and I could tell it truly made her day. That level of kindness and professionalism deserves recognition. Dirt Candy isn’t just a place to eat — it’s a place to appreciate food. If you’re looking for an excellent dining experience in New York, this spot should be at the top of your list.

I’ve been here three times (Winter and Summer previously), and this season’s Fall tasting menu is the best yet. Truly phenomenal, abounding with creative flavor combinations and textures, and genuinely elevating the vegetables that serve as the base. The cauliflower dessert is one of the best desserts I’ve ever had, and the candied beets and curry, the onion tart, and mushroom dish were standout as well. The kitchen always does an amazing job with the surprise dishes too, from radish carpaccio to sesame dumplings. Highly recommend the desert sunrise as an NA cocktail, and try to get a seat at the chef’s counter. Also love a restaurant that pays its workers a living wage and includes gratuity. Please go!

Okay I just literally finished eating here and I couldnt move before I said how ridiculously amazing the food, the service and the experience was eating here. I was not expecting much as I thought all vegetarian restaurants were somewhat equal. Let me be the first to say, there are levels to this! Dirt Candy is above all the rest! As I am writing this I'm trying not to overhype, but I have to be very truthful. This was the best I have had in my life!! Chef Amanda is the most culinary life changing chef I have had the pleasure of meeting and dining with. Compliments to her and her staff! Simply can't be beet! (See what I did there) 😉
Trevor Conner - 4 weeks ago

Amazing food all around, would 10/10 recommend going for a milestone celebration like anniversary or a birthday dinner. Definitely opt in for their wine pairing option, you won’t regret it. They not only handpick their wines but also pair those superbly with their food. My favorites dishes were hands down their dessert - which was an avocado dallop of ice cream with an egg cream and tortilla chips followed by their thai lasagna and then their onion tart, in that order. I’m so glad I chose this place for my first Michelin Star restaurant experience!
Aniket Fegade - 2 months ago

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)

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.

This sushi spot in LES has an amazing happy hour, and I'm so glad I stopped by! I came on a Friday around 6:20pm and they were pretty busy, but fortunately I was able to grab some wall seating without a reservation. Service here is kind and fairly quick. They have a variety of options on their HH menu (all around $6), which includes Japanese appetizers, mini rice bowls, sushi, nigiri, and drinks! I got their plum wine, yellowtail jalapeno sushi, salmon sushi, takoyaki, a couple baos, and their unagi-don. Everything was great! Although it might've not been the best I've had (which I expected), it's an amazing deal and good quality for the price. Would highly recommend to check out the HH here!

Came here during happy hour as walk-ins. Busy, but the wait time wasn't too bad. Service was fast and staff were friendly. Sushi tasted fresh! I do not recommend the mochi ice cream—it was too hard and a bit flavorless

Super fast service, super delicious rolls. We came on a Sunday and experienced “Happy hour” deal where rolls cost $6 per roll. Our bellies were full and hearts happy. Cosy atmosphere. Would definitely come here again.❤️

When I arrive, they sent me really quickly and I was greeted by a server. I ordered some appetizers like the purple fries, spicy seafood soup and the golden eye roll and they were all delicious and fresh. I definitely recommend coming here for intimate date.

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!

Alberto made the experience wonderful. Me and a relative sat at the bar to have a pre-birthday celebration drink and I had the mezcalita which was made wonderfully with a great mezcal. We both had the al pastor tacos which were a burst of flavor. The ambiance is great & they do outdoor seating in the summer. Alberto surprised us with two hibiscus margarita shots and it made our day! Thanks Alberto & we’ll be back again.
Jared Davis - a week ago

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.
Pedro Giovanni - 5 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.

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!

My husband and I were in Chinatown and I honestly was overwhelmed with the amount of options, I ultimately ended up just googling ‘soup dumplings’ and this restaurant was closet to us. We walked in around 3:20PM on a Friday afternoon, it wasn’t super busy but they had their fair amount of crowd. We were seated right away, and the hostess was friendly. Our waiter came over after about 5 mins with water, and by then we were ready to order. We got the house style pan fried noodles (comes with shrimp, chicken), an order of pork soup dumplings, and a honey pineapple milk drink ( I can’t recall the exact name, but it was by far one of the best boba drinks I’ve had). Food came out relatively quick and it was DELICIOUS. I definitely enjoyed this place and glad we visited.

While walking in china town we stopped here to have lunch. Although they were busy we were seated very quickly and served even faster. The crab soup dumplings were amazing and the vegetable lo mein was so fresh and seasoned well.

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.

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!

Such a cute place! The food is incredible, especially the broth. It is so flavorful and rich without being too much. The noodle is the perfect texture. IT IS CASH ONLY!!! The people at the restaurant were so nice, and they didn’t make me feel bad for not knowing. They also have an ATM at the back. This is a wonderful nice place to go to feel cozy and warm in your heart and stomach.

i love coming to this place when the weather starts getting chilly. the mera mera has noodles with the slightly creamy and nutty soup and are a match made in heaven. i have tried a few other items on their menu but always go back to the mera mera or dipping soba. was recommended the chicken meatballs and they were nice.
Lori Lam - 2 months ago

Cocoron is endearing with a hint of quirk. The food was excellent! We only tried two items (mera mera soba bowl, their signature dish, and the warm stamina soba). Both broths were intentionally crafted and enriching. The noodles were quite good. Our server was great, and one of the chefs introduced himself to us. We’d love to come back and try more items, but this place lives up to its reviews.
Zach Zerbe - 2 months ago

Ordered their signature mera mera noodle soup and it was the perfect meal on a cold winter evening. The soup base was surprisingly creamy without being heavy and the soba noodles were the perfect texture. It does get packed so go right at opening and it is cash only which is inconvenient.
Adriana E - 4 weeks ago

Such a lovely experience! I got the classic dip soba and LOVED it. The broth was so incredibly flavorful and warming, just what I needed on a chilly day. I recommend getting the large size noodles for just an extra dollar—definitely worth it and was a good ratio of noodle-to-broth. The noodles were perfectly bouncy and picked up the flavor of the broth beautifully. To be honest I had no idea if I was eating the noodles the technically ‘right’ way—the whole process of using the big spoon/bowl to assist in the dipping seemed so complicated—but I also had a lot of fun trying to figure it out, and it seemed to help me eat more slowly and enjoy the experience. The free tea the server brought us at the end of our meal was truly the cherry on top!!!
