Sobak

Korean restaurant

👍👍 Delicious. As a person who was born and raised in Korea, the bibimbap taste authentic and appetizing. No frills. I could tell the beef in the complimentary soup was definitely high quality beef. Absolutely recommendable 👍

Púsù 璞素

Vegetarian restaurant

👍👍 Wonderful experience. It’s always hard as a vegetarian to enjoy Chinese (and Asian food in general) since it’s so meat-heavy. We got the vegetable dumplings, sweet & sour pork, salt & pepper mushrooms, and the mash potato dishes. Everything had such unique flavors and was perfectly cooked. On top...

Plant-Blossom

Vegetarian restaurant

👍👍 I placed an order through Uber Eats. I got the vegan kimchi Bao bun, the vegan impossible Banh mi and the vegan chocolate cake. They were all spectacular. The vegan chocolate cake is the best one I’ve had! It was very moist and sweetness was just spot on. The delivery was pretty good too! I loved th...

Maya's Garden & Juice Bar

Vegan restaurant

👍👍 They have healthy vegan food which is rare in this neighborhood. On top of that the vegan food tastes identical like real meat.

Effy's Cafe on York

Kosher restaurant

👍👍 Very nice owner and waitresses. Great coffee. No flat white on the menu, but they made it for me. I was not a fan of bagels, but their warm bagel with tuna salad... perfect! There are friendly locals and their dogs too to warm your heart. Pretty restroom. No photo about the bagel, sorry...

Patty Haus

Vegan restaurant

😐 Please be careful - not every patty is vegan! I asked what protein was used to substitute for salmon in the salmon patty and the woman at the counter said "salmon" which was really confusing??? I said "wait it's not vegetarian?" and she said "no it's vegetarian *friendly*" and I was speechless. That...

Tong - Bengali Street Food (চটপটি & ফুচকা)

Vegetarian restaurant

👍👍 Queens food truck in the Bronx? Parked in Castle Hill area. Fuchka is a definitely fire. Don't get spicy if you can't handle raw chili peppers. The egg and dip it comes with are the pronounced flavors. Gotta try it.

Vitall Fusion

Vegetarian restaurant

😐 Food is great but there is a server there a grown woman with a very bad attitude. She does not need to serve people’s food speaking to anyone in that manner. I had to leave my order because she was so confrontational.

Sushi by Bou- Omakaseed- Times Square NYC @ Sanctuary Hotel

twentyonegrains

Gluten-free restaurant

👍👍 There is a song where Justin Timberlake says "Damn, girl" way too many times. I think it;s from the Summer Love album. Why do I mention this in the first two sentences of a review about a gluten-free cafe space in New York City, you ask? Because the chicken caesar salad wrap tasted like such a regu...
