Yongの4つ星レビュー: now at $8... sigh... will soon be $10 -
Yongの5つ星レビュー: i guess this place isn't your typical thin crust NYC pizza but NYC is blessed to have prince st pizza. SO GOOOOOOOD. several of my friends say it's the best pizza ever. i personally prefer thin crust but this def is my favorite of this style the pepperoni is esp good -
Yongの5つ星レビュー: I'm adding a late review to this place (I went in the fall) but I hope it's still relevant. Let's just that that this guy (the owner) is an artist. He just keeps coming up with crazy new creative foods! So I went for the cronut craze (which I think has died down a little by now) and I waited for 3 hours outside, but I got some! was it worth it? YES! the cronuts... when you bite into them, the cream inside is like an extra surprise that hits you! they also have different toppings each month. the texture of the whole cronut is also really unique and great. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other desserts too. My friend had the frozen smore, which he said was very good. if you don't want to wait on line that long, you can order cronuts online in advance. -
Yongの5つ星レビュー: So most of you probably already know, but THIS is the real grimaldi's. after grimaldi retired, he came back but with Juliana's. so this is pretty much the real grimaldi's minus the long line of tourists. However... there still is a line to wait, so get there early! you know that a pizza is good when the crust is so good you want to eat every last morsel of carb on your plate. The pizza here is prob one of the best pizza's i've had. great NYC pizza. I recommend the Margherita with pepperoni (the standard. delicious) and the No. 1 (a bit fancier, but the cheese and olive oil with pancetta... amazing, but if you like tomato sauce, just know that this doesn't have it) 4 of us ordered those 2 pies (small) and ended up paying around $15 each tax/tip included so a pretty solid deal for 4 slices! I'll def be back!

AMAZING. even though we had to eat it a block away under an awning in the cold outside rain... still so gooooooood JUST GO AND GET IT. DO IT NOW.

Yongの5つ星レビュー: IN A GALAXY... FAR FAR AWAY.... STARWARSSSSSS. jk. but seriously. this place is really far, but so worth it. Best BBQ place i've tried in NYC so far the brisket, ribs, and beef ribs were amazing. However, the price was also pretty expensive.. ended up dropping about $30 per person. but sadly, that is pretty normal for bbq in NY but yes, if u wanna try some good bbq, check this place out -
Yongの4つ星レビュー: If you want some good korean food and don't mind spending a lil money, check this place out! Food was really good. my friend and I got a budaejjigae jungol to share. The broth was really good... i'm not sure what they added but it had almost a creamy taste. unique and delicious. loved the different types of ham/meats they put in. We also got the shrimp and hot pepper pancake. eat it while it's hot. it's really good. when cooled off it's eh. but that's most foods. Side dishes were good but they need to give more the first time cuz we ate through the tiny portion too quick and had to ask for more. Price: pretty darn high. if the price was better, i would give this place 5 stars. budae jungol was $34!!! jeez. and the pancake was $13. we each paid about $28 includding tax/tip. FYI the restaurant says that it tries to remind you of home cooking / nostalgia... but i feel like the whole atmosphere goes against that. It's very clean, has "classy" ambiance music, and the a lot of the items of the menu are a bit more modernized versions of classic korean dishes. i'm confused. haha but it's still good food. I'd recommend this place fo sho. just be paid a higher than normal amount for korean food. -
Yongの5つ星レビュー: Best tacos in NYC. (so far...) the carne asada, adobada and pollo asado were bomb. loved the seasoning and flavor. I also really like the tortilla. and if you don't know which kind of shell to get. always get the corn tortilla (not flour) and add a good amount of sauce (green and red) One thing i am sad about is the price. $3.50ish for one taco? so pricey... but... for NYC, that is sadly not that expensive. so I'll still give this place 5 stars but if you want really good tacos for cheap. fly to LA and hit up taco trucks like El Chato (amazing) and eat enough tacos until you have saved enough on tacos to justify your plane ticket -
Yongの5つ星レビュー: So glad I found this place. Definitely one of my favorite pizza joints in NY they do justice to NYC pizza. a little on the pricier side, but the taste is amazing. the crust is thin and delicious and the cheese/sauce ratio is just right. The fresh mozzarella and basil one was AMAZINg. I will definitely stop by again. -
Yongの5つ星レビュー: been here many times and the worst part is the wait however, the ramen never disappoints! just love the broth and the noodles just the right texture/firmness pork buns are also amazing (just wish they were cheaper) ugh.. but like everywhere in nyc, prices just creep up.

Yongの4つ星レビュー: MmMmmmm this place lives up to the hype! if you love cereal and if you love ice cream def check this place out. my friend and i got the fruit loops and the cookie crisp both were really good... i think it depends on what mood you are in. i personally was feelin the fruit loops one and since they blend in strawberries adn blueberries you get a real fruity flavor and not just sugary overload the cookie crisp was almost like a mcflurry and really good i def wanna try the banana one when i come back. it waas $8.50 each and that's a bit steep for just soft serve blended with cereal. cool idea but.. i dunno if that justifies the price. still worth checking out though. I think the craziest thing on the menu is their "CEREAL BOWL" .. it looks like it's just cereal.. with milk... and it freaking costs $6 hahaha i saw someone order it and i was judging pretty hard. i mean cmon, just get a whole box of cereal and a gallon of milk for $6 at the supermarket! -
Yongの4つ星レビュー: MmmmM MM MMMmmmm delicious. fried chicken. waffles. gravy. ugh. so good. obviously, try the fried chicken (try both regular and smothered if you can, or just as kfor gravy on the side). try the waffles too. delicious. the cornbread is dank too only downside is that it's pretty pricey. O_O like why is fried chicken so expensive but still worth a visit if you have never been -
Yongの5つ星レビュー: YOOOooooooooo this place is awesome O___O tacos only $1.85 (though i hear they used to be only $1.25) but still a great deal for amazing food i started with 4 tacos.. ended up getting 2more lol lengua, suadero were my favorites. others were great too. my friend got the quesadilla which was large and good horchata was pretty good but a bit too sweet for my taste if i'm in this area, i'll def be back -
Yongの4つ星レビュー: Interior Decorations: 5 stars Food: 4.5 stars Price: 3.7 stars Loudness: 2 stars This place has pretty sweet vibes and the interior is really cool... "vintage" as regina george would say. the music was a bit loud though... at some points we were yelling at each other to talk haha Food was amazing though.. the chicken... wow. moist and perfectly crispy. my friend said she liked that it wasn't too saucy but i would have preferred a little more. made the mistake of ordering 2 sides of radishes (1 is enough cuz they give a little with the chicken. I don't know why but korean style fried chicken is always so expensive... This place is about average compared to the others. Overall, def recommend checking this place out for great food, and fun times. not a great 1st date place but great for loud friends -
Yongの4つ星レビュー: Got the chocolate babka. WOW. so good. flaky and crisp on the outside. warm and chewy on the inside. chocolate all over. the chocolate itself is really good too. if you like bread, pastries, and other baked goods, definitely hit this place up! The road next to union square looks a little sketchy at night but it's great!. their loaves of bread look amazing i was a little thrown off by the price though. it is a little pricey compared to other bakeries i've been to. i'm definitely coming back to try some of the other things. -
Yongの4つ星レビュー: pricier than your average bubble tea... but worth it! Def recommend the strawberry matcha! if you are skeptical... i was too, but it's great. somehow the flavors mix really well also tried the horchata which was good... but not as good as the strawberry matcha. tasted like they were trying to make horchata too fancy the bubbles are just right amount of chewy #QQ

Yongの4つ星レビュー: Yummmmm i've never had japanese food in this style and it was a pleasant surprise! delicious and had a home cooked feeling. foods that were great: chicken karaage (yummm crispy, flavorful), grilled romaine (kinda weird at first but really good), tuna crispy rice, the hotpots hope to come back!!

Yongの5つ星レビュー: I'm not a book person, but this place blew me away. From the old-fashioned interior that starkly contrasts from a b&n to the unique varieties of books, this place was amazing. I helped my friend find books she needed for a literature class. They didn't have some books, but they had a many books that you probably wouldn't find in other places. They also have genres of all types, so I spent lots of time just browsing the shelves. If you love books (and even if you don't) I recommend you check it out! -
Yongの4つ星レビュー: came with a groupon: $24 for a whole pizza and 2 beers or sodas. great deal. my friend and I got the artichoke pie, thinking we could probably finish like 2/3 or 3/4 of it. NOPE! the pie is HUGE. we each only could do 2 slices so we couldn't finish half the pizza. the pizza was great though! loved the crispy crust with softer mid layer bread and the creamy artichoke sauce on top. However, i personally would prefer it if the crust/bread was a little thinner. it was quite thick. without the groupon, the pie itself would have cost over $30 so it was a steal! i went on a friday at 6pm ,but we just missed the dinner rush. don't go too late or else you may be waiting for a while summary: -great pizza! a lot of it (go hungry) -a little pricey for pizza, but worth it, especially with groupon -service was good recommend! -
Yongの5つ星レビュー: SHAKE SHACK is greater than In n Out. There. I said it. but yes, after trying in n out for the first time a few weeks ago, Shake Shack is definitely better. Sure, the price is a lot higher, but by pure taste? Shake shack wins. Definitely get the SHACK STACK. the mushroom with cheese inside is amazing. i like this location of shake shack more because they still do the original crinkle cut fries. Even though the line here is definitely longer than other places, some of the other places have a different kind of fries (different cut and style) which i don't like as much. SHACK SHACK STACK ALL DAY. -
Yongの5つ星レビュー: What a pleasant experience eating gelato. We actually came here after signing up on the waiting list at Totto Ramen. Perfect timing. It was a little odd eating dessert first... but still amazing. The gelato here certainly is special. really rich and creamy. The sorbet was tangy, sweet, and fresh! For those who know me... they know that I love tiramisu. so my two flavors I got were Tiramisu and lampone (raspberry sorbet). However, what made this so much better was that the worker there recommended that i get fresh whipped cream on top of the sorbet. and she added the cream for free! She was right too. the whipped cream and the raspberry sorbet were perfect complements. I really recommend trying that combo. tiramisu was good too pistachio, hazelnut, and choco chip flavors were really good too. I don't think there was a bad flavor there. I would love to go back and try them all eventually. -
Yongの5つ星レビュー: I've had a macaron only once before in baltimore at some cafe... so my standards for macarons weren't too high. But everyone had hyped this place up. YET, it lived up to the hype. I could see why laduree is so talked about when the topic of macaron comes up. The multiple flavors, the perfectly made macarons... so delicious. the shell dome is perfect and inside is also perfect! some flavors i liked: pistachio and rose. i'm sure they're all really good though. If i had a lot of money I would go much more often but this place is probably one of the most expensive foods i've eaten if we want to do it by price per weight. It's about $3 per macaron, but it sure was worth it! Lines go pretty quickly, so don't worry too much about that. I recommend (if you're willing to spend a little), getting a small box or a set of macarons. -
Yongの5つ星レビュー: Coming here, I had high expectations... but they delivered! I'm not that knowledgeable on japanese ramen, but this place really had a special taste to their ramen. 2 friends and I each ordered a different type of ramen then shared, trying each others. They all were really good. The noodles... love the texture. the broth is really good too. My favorite was the miso (with pork). I highly recommend the pork over chicken in the ramen. I think the pork just fits the dish a lot better. I'm pretty good at eating spicy, and the spicy was pretty spicy (still good though), but don't get the extra spicy ramen unless you're really sure you can still enjoy the ramen. definitely try their avocado side dish! tasty! The place is tiny though... so not the best for large parties. our group had to split into 2 groups. Also, it's a pretty darn long wait (we didn't even go at prime lunch time) but it's worth the wait! if you sign up and have like a 30-40min wait time, i suggest you walk over to Grom and have some gelato! that's what our group did and the time worked out perfectly. Unless you're really against the idea of dessert before the actual meal. CASH ONLY! One of the best japanese ramen places in NYC -
Yongの5つ星レビュー: UGH. I'm pretty upset writing this review right now... .... because I wanted to be the first one to review this new spot. I feel robbed haha. But I'm sad i'm not the first because this place was amazing! I got to go to the soft opening of Ho Foods and really enjoyed the beef noodle soup. My friend and I went and it's a pretty small restaurant.. fits maybe about 10 or more people. But from the dining area to the food... everything is cozy. Food: we got the beef noodle soup: tried both flat/wide and thinner noodles. I personally preferred the thinner but both were good and cooked just right. The BROTH doe.... it was DANK. (dank = delicious... for those who may not know) but it really took me back to Taiwan, where I visited last spring. The flavor is deep and flavorful. I also really liked the hint of spiciness in it as well. (though i would even add more heat). the meat was also very tender and delicious. They said that they use the shin meat and it was seasoned perfectly and so soft. I usually hate chewing through tendon but this one melts with the meat in your mouth. The side dishes of cucumber, pickled mustard greens, etc. worked really well too. crisp and refreshing to eat with the deep broth. I like putting the pickled mustard greens into my soup (i hope that's not blasphemous to taiwanese people O____O ) Overall, this place reminded me of "home". The beef noodle soup, esp the broth, felt like something I would be eating at home like mom's cooking (if my mom were taiwanese). Delicious! Def recommend for anyone who likes noodles and beef and taiwanese food to check it out! I hope to come back and check out the other things on the menu too.

Yongの5つ星レビュー: What the pho... Been looking for great pho places in nyc and yes! this place is awesome! The pho broth is amazing. you know that dirty taste (in a good way) that comes from cooking the broth for a long time? so hard to find, but this place has it. portions are large and the different beefs in the soup is great too!! tastes like real legit pho. pho-real. The eggroll or spring rolls (not sure which one... but the one with pork and beef inside, fried exterior, and not that big) were really good!! Tip: my friend showed me a cool way to eat them. Wrap one with lettuce and drizzle some of the sauce on it (the vinegar-y / fish sauce type sauce). It cuts the grease and adds an extra fresh crunch! prices are great too!! i just wish it weren't so far down in chinatown but... i'll definitely be back!!

Yongの5つ星レビュー: They really don't lie when they say it's the best cheesecake ever! Simply amazing. the creaminess, the flavor, the richness... ugh. too good. I've only tried the plain original a few times, which are amazing so i hope to try the other flavors too. I got to the shop around 8am and it looks like a dark warehouse with a shut door. Just ring the bell and once they buzz you in just walk in and tell them what you want. It kinda looks like someone your parents would not want you walking alone because it has a feeling that you might get kidnapped and thrown into the huge walk in freezer amidst the boxes. But, i would not mind this at all... because they have LOADS of cheesecake in there. The guy was super nice though. TIPS: Hours are 6am to 3pm! so go early in the morning! Also, if you are buying directly from the shop, BRING CASH!!! cash only (there is a bank of america 1 block away and Chase about 7 blocks away) PRice is also a lot cheaper in person vs buying online. For the plain original, a small is 15 and large is 27 dollars. So if you plan to buy in person, you should call ahead to confirm the price there (then bring cash). -
Yongの4つ星レビュー: Soup Dumplings were amazing! we went during prime time dinner hours so the wait was about 40min, but it worked out cuz some of our friends were 30min late so they came just in time. make sure you eat the dumpling in one bite! but don't burn your tongue the other foods were actually pretty good too. So apparently... (this is something i've heard. i haven't tried it so i don't know if this is true), but the soup dumpling restaurant just next door is just as good, but people don't know about it as much so you can get the same good food with no long wait time. Yeah, so if you want to try soup dumplings but you see this line and say "aint nobody got time fo dat" then maybe try the place next door. Let me know how it is .. if i haven't tried it by then =) -
Yongの5つ星レビュー: The weather outside was cold and my friends and I had about 2 hours to kill while waiting for the Daily Show so we came here. the ramen and pork buns were AMAZING. I got the Akamaru Modern ramen. broth was so flavorful and i like the thin noodles. really good japanese ramen. my friend got one of the other ramens (can't remember which) and it was good but a little too salty for my taste. the pork buns... probably one of the best in NYC. the bun itself is so soft and fluffy and the pork has a great sauce/flavoring. I wish they gave a little more (only 2 for $9), but it was worth it. we went around 3pm so they were about to close up their lunch time shift, but service was still good. -
Yongの4つ星レビュー: Never heard of this place before, but solid ramen! My friends and I came here as a group of 13 and although we had to split into 2 groups, they were able to seat us all after about a 20 min wait. not bad. Food: I really liked how they let you customize your noodles.. I recommend going FIRM. wavy or straight doesn't matter much. - spicy garic ramen: very delicious and rich broth. However, i was a little disappointed that it wasn't very spicy at all... but it was still really good. - miso ramen: my friends loved it and when i tried some it was a little salty for me but still really good - deluxe: a little pricey but you get a lot of stuff in it. broth was good! Price: i can't remember well the prices at other NYC ramen spots, but i felt that this place was a little more expensive... but nothing crazy Service was good. Our server seemed a bit angry at something or someone but it wasn't bad service. Overall, if you want some good ramen and are in the area, try this place! -
Yongの5つ星レビュー: I am so glad I found this gem near my church in manhattan. Such a great place for a cold dessert on any day. Good flavors: passionfruit, pineapple, cherry, peach, watermelon, graham crunch (these are actually all the ones i've tried because I haven't had a bad flavor yet!) My favorite: passionfruit Graham crunch also sticks out in my memory because it was really good too. it was very flavorful, but also very rich/heavy (so i would recommend sharing it) I also recommend getting a twister (ice and soft serve mix)! good stuff. CASH ONLY! prices are good for what you get! Only downside is that they don't have seating. But... my friends and I walked across the road and sat inside one of Baruch College's buildings and enjoyed our treats in the nice cool AC They also have stumptown coffee!
