1. Klong
I actually came here more than once, so this technically isn't the 2nd time but I wanted to have a bit of a gap before my newest review.
Anyways, on to the point! Klong has only gotten better since the last time. Thai iced tea hasn't changed a bit,…More »

2. Kenka
I was going to walk in with 5 stars but left with 3, not bad I suppose.
I had the yakiniku don, my friend had the yaki udon and we both shared the gyu tataki.
My friend said throughout the whole meal, the only dish that was do - able was the gyu…More »

Wow who knew I'd be back so quick? I had the vegetable tofu soup with kim chi as an extra topping, boy was it flavorful! I ordered spicy and I was somewhat skeptical if I could handle it or not, but it wasn't as mouth - kicking as I expected. Hot but…More »

4. Park Asia
I've gone here a couple times for yum cha. The dim sum's not bad, I always get my usual beef rice rolls. There's practically no wait for tables and the carts come pretty often. Fair prices, quick meals.

$10 lobsters? What? TWIN lobsters!? Cooked in any style you want?! Garlic seasoned, steamed or fried?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I think that ALONE deserves 5 stars.

Category:
Thai
Neighbourhood: Williamsburg - North Side
Came here because Sea Thai Restaurant was crowded and it was an hour wait. Food here wasn't bad. Amazing prices after a day of splurging at thrift stores. Gal Khao was pretty good, mm rice noodles. Although the con of this place was that the water…More »

The one in Queens has much better interior. Haven't tried the bbq here, but they do have great lunch specials. The Gop dol bimbibamp wasn't bad. Although I think Seoul Garden has better complimentary appetizers. I did infact enjoy their dessert…More »
8. Momofuku Noodle Bar
From all the hype, I'd say momofuku noodle bar lived it up alright.
Since I'm not made of a million bucks, I had to compromise by going to the noodle bar, don't get me wrong, it's just as good as other momofukus but not THE best. Anywhoo, I had the…More »
9. Jup She - CLOSED
Like many others have already mentioned, this place doesn't have the best korean food but it's not bad for the price! Especially lunch hour! I had the shrimp terayaki box. The clear noodles was the best, the shrimp was so and so, it tasted a bit over…More »

This time, I had the spicy wings combo. It came with fries and about 5 wings. Boy was it finger ling ling good. Crispy, sweet, flavorful. The fries were okay, not really that special. It wasn't frites and it wasn't waffle fries. But it's not bad for…More »

12. Ramen Setagaya - CLOSED
Had the vegetable ramen and plum onigiri. I can only sum up this place in 3 words, cheap, fast and filling. I'm not a ramen expert but this place is just as good as momofuku, oops? Hope that doesn't insult them, haha.
Too bad I became vegetarian won't…More »
13. Go Japanese Restaurant - CLOSED
Discovered this place while searching for a restaurant that fulfilled my dining needs and my friend's. She wanted sushi, I wanted yakitori. And this place had both. I had the negima yaki and shared the octopus balls with my friend. Negima yaki was so…More »

I usually hate malaysian food since there's a lack of options and I'm almost never happy with what I ordered but Sentosa has opened my eyes to something new..I had the clay pot pearl noodle and coconut pudding.
I loved the pearl noodles, it was soft…More »
15. Ippudo NY
They've done it again. As usual, of course. I made reservations for 8pm but I got there at 6:55 since I knew I was probably going to have to wait 45 mins regardless. Luckily I was seated around 7:25. Anywho, I ordered the wasabi shoyu ramen. I…More »

I love their green tea waffles! Absolutely delicious. However I hate the seating and atmosphere here, it's crappy and crummy. I haven't tried the vietnamese sandwich here yet. I wouldn't recommend the summer rolls, taste so and so and isn't worth…More »
17. Edgemont City Asian Cusine
Came here for a family dinner, the usual every time I come to Calgary. We ordered the 10 dish special, came with soup and 10 dishes plus dessert and unlimited servings of rice. I'm guessing because it was a busy night, they were a bit careless with…More »

Okay, I might be giving a biased review since my uncle works as the head chef here..
You might have had his dim sum...
But anyways, the sizes and portions of the dim sum are pretty big compared to what we have in NYC and there's more varieties too.…More »
19. Ten Ren Tea Time
The one in Brooklyn is actually cheaper, the drinks in that matter atleast. Other than that, I love the slush here, it's much better than quickly's. I wish they had more seating though. It's always crowded here with non Asian tourists who fond at the…More »

I only fancy the bubble milk and green tea. Other than that, do not come here for the slush bubble tea and don't try the white grape vinegar. Awful stuff, I'm telling you. I do however love the fact they give VIP discounts and student discounts. But…More »

3 reasons to love Baoguette:

By the way, I had the BBQ chicken sandwich.
24. Green Tea Cafe - CLOSED
I love the hot milk bubble tea from this place! The tapioca's so chewy and bouncy in your mouth, haha. This place is worth coming to for hot drinks and what not. There's a good amount of seating and the snacks are delicious. The place is dimly lit…More »

Red bean mochi, mm good. Great assortment of snacks plus they have a microwave if you need to heat your goods. Decent pricing. Probably'll come back here with atleast 150$ to splurge for 2 months worth of snacks and junk. mmmmmm

Place isn't THAT great. I know better places in the neighborhood. Food is a tad overpriced compared to other places. Service isn't fast either. I'd say to explore a little more in this neighborhood before you make a choice.

New York, NY 10013
(212) 226-8208
Of course their egg tarts are THE best! They have a lot of flavors as well. So many choices and options, which one to choose? Either way, you'd still make a great choice because every egg tart tastes great. Flaky crust and smooth egg custard. So…More »

I'm not sure if this place is the same as the XO by Bowery and Elizabeth, but I prefer that one over this one. This place is a bit less homely feeling and the food isn't as great as the one at Elizabeth's. Still nonetheless if you're closer to this…More »
