1. Melisse Restaurant
Santa Monica, CA 90401
(310) 395-0881
Hands down BEST FOIE GRAS ever!
Melisse has the most flexible tasting menu among Michelin restaurants that I've been to. They have different sets of tasting menus that you can pick and mix from.
The wait staff was knowledgeable and informative of the…More »
2. Jean-Georges
Staff were very accomodating when I had to add an extra seat to the table at the last minute (despite the restaurant being fully booked) and seemingly possible other seating being at least 2 hrs later. Ended up keeping to the original reservation…More »
3. Bouley
Simply FABULOUS. My review is of Bouley when it used to be on W Broadway. The smell of apples surely hits you when you walk through the entrace to the restaurant. I enjoyed every dish of the tasting menu we got.
The organic farm egg steamed with…More »
4. One If By Land Two If By Sea
One if by land has a fabulous dinner, bar and brunch menu that I really should come here more often. Many a times, the restaurant has attempted to send me gift certificates but I'm just such a great procrastinator especially when the restaurant is so…More »
5. Kyo Ya
I was initially thinking 4.5 stars till my friend asked "why not 5?" ..... I couldn't think why not so 5 it goes. It's been a while since I last gave a 5-star review and I cannot express the satisfaction of having found yet another 5-star experience…More »
6. Alan Wong's Restaurant
Honolulu, HI 96826
(808) 949-2526
Categories:
Hawaiian,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Moilili
I hardly give 30% tip. Alan Wong is one of the few places that I do though. The wait staff aren't the typically seasoned and truly professional types you get in NYC but they put in a lot of effort and attention in their service that you really…More »
7. Yerba Buena
New York, NY 10009
(212) 529-2919
Category:
Latin American
Neighbourhoods: East Village, Alphabet City
FANTASTIC dining experience. TRULY ATTENTIVE STAFF. I walked in and was warmly greeted by the staff. Since I was early, I sat at the bar waiting for my friends. The MINUTE I touched my coat in my attempt to remove it, the staff had already appeared…More »
8. Time Supper Club
Montréal, QC H3C 1G6
Canada
(514) 392-9292
Categories:
Dance Clubs,
Venues & Event Spaces
The ONE thing that made the trip to Montreal oooh so worth it. TIME SUPPER CLUB is oooh so chic and so super trendy. We lucked out because we got the concierge at the Ritz Carlton to make us a dinner reservation the day of and were first told that it…More »
9. Taste Good Malaysian Cuisine
Sadly, I have to revise my rating as the previous owners have sold this restuarant and did not think the food was of the same standard when I was here recently... who knows, I may never come back here again.

10. Sushi Yasuda
New York, NY 10017
(212) 972-1001
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Midtown East
I love a place that serves REAL kaisou instead of the typical marinated seaweed you get everywhere else. Wonderful sushi and cosy restaurant set-up. I've in several instances also done take-outs for their very affordable pre-fixe rolls... delicious…More »
11. Blue Ribbon Sushi
High quality sushi accompanying the high prices you pay for them. Great wonderful variety of sushi and sashimi. Note the place does not take reservations but fortunately we didn't have to wait that long for a table for 2.
12. Morimoto
New York, NY 10024
(212) 989-8883
Categories:
Japanese,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhoods: Chelsea, Meatpacking District
Affordably priced lunch menu! Fresh sushi and value-for-money bento boxes. Also, I'm a huge fan of the Japanese bathrooms you find at Morimoto's.
13. The Stanton Social
New York, NY 10002
(212) 995-0099
Categories:
Tapas/Small Plates,
Nightlife
Neighbourhood: Lower East Side
Found myself stumbling here for dinner that same day I passed on brunch. We were walk-ins sans reservation and how I should count my blessings!!! Because reservations would have been on the dining floor but it's definitely much more chill and a lot…More »
14. Casse-Crepe Breton
Absolutely love the crepes here! Have never found a better place than this one. OMG we loved both the salty and sweet crepes and had the spinach and cheese crepe as well as the chocolate with banana crepe among other items! This is such a delightful…More »
15. Peter Luger Steak House
Brooklyn, NY 11211
(718) 387-7400
Category:
Steakhouses
Neighbourhoods: Williamsburg - South Side, South Williamsburg
I am SO NOT A MEAT / STEAK person but I LOVE PETER LUGER. As with many people, I trekked all the way out to BKLYN for this meal that was at such an odd time of the day for the only reservation we could get while I had family visiting - 345pm on the…More »
16. Happy Family Little Lamb Restaurant
Flushing, NY 11354
(718) 358-6667
Let's put this straight... when I review Chinatown restaurants, it's typically for the authenticity and the quality of the food amidst like-offerings. Let's face it, service does not exist in C-town... so let's get the ball rolling...
Little lamb was…More »
17. Asian Jewels Seafood Restaurant
Flushing, NY 11354
(718) 359-8600
My absolutely most FAVORITE dim sum place in NYC - albeit in Flushing :p Just can't find any good dim sum places in Manhattan so unfortunately, it takes a trek out to Flushing to get to one.
Love the fact that this place is HUGE so waiting time is…More »
18. Tia Pol
My favorite tapas place in NYC
The fried chickpeas was highly recommended here but I BEG TO DIFFER. Other than that, I enjoyed all the items especially the squid ink rice (which is probably the reason why I'm even there). Dishes I've had in order of…More »
19. Pinto
OK I have to be honest here. IMO Thai restaurants in NYC fall into 2 categories:
1) Great authentic food but typically tiny holes-in-the-wall
2) Large expansive restaurant with sparse looking tables and odd furniture, serving mediocre food
So far I've…More »
20. Rhong Tiam - CLOSED
3.5 stars
This is a GREAT thai restaurant that opened last year. In terms of decor, this place definitely stands out from most hole-in-the-wall, tacky, bleah - the typical Thai restaurants you find in the city. I'd say this place is actually pretty…More »
21. Wonjo
New York, NY 10001
(212) 695-5815
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Midtown West, Koreatown
Best Korean bbq I've had in the city! I love the fact that this is CHARCOAL bbq set up. Especially like the jap chae and the kalbi (as usual). Ooooh what a great find. Thanks to a Korean friend who organized dinner here.
22. Tenkaippin Ramen
SUPER DELISH RAMEN! I'm a die-hard tonkatsu fan but decided to give their #1 special the KOTTERI RAMEN a try despite my personal preference for thicker pork broth to lighter chicken broth.... OMG BEST DECISION EVER!!! I absolutely love their kotteri…More »
23. Saigon Vietnamese Sandwich Deli
New York, NY 10013

Categories:
Sandwiches,
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Nolita
Super delicious sandwich! OMG, have I been missing out on this for the last few decades of my existence?
I had the house special sandwich which I believe has roast pork, chicken in the freshly crisp baguette and some pickled carrots, parsley, cucumber…More »
24. Salsarita's Fresh Cantina
Charlotte, NC 28202
(704) 342-0950
Salsarita's got me hooked on burritos. You got to give it to a place that serves SHRIMP burritos! I checked the menus of ALL the leading burrito places (fast to go places, not including restaurants) in NYC and have yet to find one that serves shrimp.…More »
