One of the best pho táis I've had in the NYC area! Your sinuses will clear up after having a bowl. Love it w/ lime! ;9p
Special lunch set: shrimp tempura, soba, ikura rice, salad, salmon, stewed eggplant, lotus root, & yam & a mini milk tofu dessert-all for $17! For $3 xtra, get the Fri special cocktail.
Come early & order an excellent $10 chirashi + soba set deal (limited to 1st 20 DAILY)
Springy ramen noodles in delish broths. Order homemade fried pork or shrimp gyoza & Wahoo Sio: 1/2-sodium, sliced chicken in chicken broth w/ Thin wavy wheat noodle & a side of roasted garlic sauce.
My other fave: Soba seaweed salad has 4 different types of seaweed, tomatoes, & a yummy soy-sesame yogurt dressing. ;9
Beef noodle soup is 1 of NYC's tops: fresh hand-pulled noodles w/ seaweed, fungi, & bok choy. Wish beef wasn't so sinewy & fatty. *self-serve & add pickled veggies & hot chili oil frm metal canisters
Come M-F 11:30-12pm & order $10 bara chirashi bowl+soba deal(limited to 1st 20)-no longer a great deal but still ok. They're skimping out now: @times NO uni, less tuna & salmon, & more of mackerel.
Ask to have soy sauce left OFF of uni & ikura bowl-it was way too salty & spoiled natural taste of uni & ikura!
Get Parmesan w/ Kale salad to balance acidity of vinaigrette. All homemade pastas: My fave-Maloreddos w/ sausage in spicy tomato sauce- & ricotta Cavatelli was creamy; broccoli rabe & sausage tasty.
Reigns supreme in midtown E area for made-to-order pastas TO-GO. Price point is fair considering all pastas are freshly house-made. Lasagna is seriously da bomb. Delish! :9
Fantastic made-to-order pastas, pizzas, salads, sandwiches & soups. Love their arancini, lasagna, & bolognese sauce w/ any of their fresh house-made pastas! ;9
Had $50 of food- incl. 1 3-pancakes item & 1 tiny pack of syrup which exploded all over. Replacement pack +1 was sent but why argue w/ me re: charge extra for surups. Food's good but ur Cust svc sucks
Price point great 4 creative fare & portions. Star was Foie gras soba but w/ Svc & all else (uni croquette, veggie fondue, assorted sashimi rice "teacup," dbl smoked bacon, & burger), 9.2 fell short.
Pineapple & lychee mojitos are good @ $6 during M-F 4-8pm HH. Deep fried squid legs is decent & Grilled Edamame is 1 of best edamame apps V & I have ever had! LC, pls make this a regular menu item. 😋
Izakaya w/ Japanese tapas & non-traditional ramen & great HH drinks. Stay away from the skimpy yakitori sticks. Order the Uni ramen w/ tomato, scallion, & Parmesan, grilled edamame, & fried squid legs
Not cheapest compared to others in C'Town but ingredients & tastes are fresh, clean & pretty authentic..making this Vietnamese the best pho, Cha gio, Grilled Pork Chops, & banh mi place in NYC!
The ramen is classic, almost as well executed as Ippudo and much lighter, and tastes as good as the wait is painful. Arrive before 6 or wait 90m. Split the two daily ramens.
They rotate chefs. If you go while Ichicoro is still there, go for the spicy brothless soba! It's like a spicy, Japanese carbonara, and it's amazing!
Amazing experience! the short rib steamed buns are out of this world. The ramens are all delicious. The service is attentive. Definitely one of NYC's great unique Japanese spots!!!
Get yourself a really great bowl of Tonkotsu Ramen for only $10 all day Monday!
Order the buffalo cauliflower! It's delicious! I also had the tonkotsu ramen, it was okay, ramen was good consistency
Lunch combination of ramen & mini donburi (rice bowl) for $10 pretax is a good value. 5 options for ramen and 5 for donburi. Pictured are spicy chili beef ramen with original curry donburi.
Best ramen on upper east side. They have rotating specials which I haven't seen anywhere else. Amazing tuna tartare.
Awesome spot. Esp for the upper east side! Ramen to the right. Desserts and drinks to the left. If you ask for anything more ur just plain greedy.
The small plates, such as the Nagoya Pepper Wings and Popcorn Calamari, seem better than the ramen here.
Favorite new ramen spot on the UES. Friendly staff and great selection of apps, ramen and desserts. Recommend spicy beef ramen...just right if you like it hot! Must try the creme brûlée!
Best Beef Rendang Nasi Lemak & Curry Laksa in NYC from this Vendy-award winner! Get BBQ Pork (not fatty pork belly) Buns & Uncle Dumplings too. Stick w/ these Malay dishes & have an excellent meal.
This Japanese-Italian's been my fave for over 15 yrs! Order app portions of 2 diff pastas 4 variety: Spaghetti Con Uova Di Pesce (tobiko & shiso) and Linguine Ai Ricci (fresh uni, basil, pink sauce)
It's a consensus: Ratchaburi Pork and Crab Noodles is their best dish! I actually go there for there just for this dried noodle dish alone! ;9
No more food truck. It's now a Thai-Vietnamese-Malay restaurant. Order the Vendy award-winning Beef Rendang Nasi Lemak & other Malay dishes. Thanks for a great meal, Owner Day.
My #1 fave Salmon (grilled on top of curried rice) dish in NYC..timeless & consistent...even after 18+ yrs, I still crave it! I also love their curried chicken broth noodles & eggplant appetizer.
Very beautiful view over the park, the food is delicious. Would highly recommend lobster pasta
The hot soba in a pork and kimchi broth stands out, as does the more classic, cold Zaru. Yes, you’ll have room for dessert after a light dinner—we suggest the fresh tofu or sublime green-tea affogato. Read more.
cold soba. hot soba. dipping soba. all good. mera mera, dragon, sukiyaki- all amazing. matcha affogato for dessert will end an incredible meal.
Great spot to eat. Best dumplings in UES. Small hole in the wall & they don't take reservations. So expect to wait about 15+ minutes to be seated.
Order the eponymous ramen made with a combination of cooked & toasted noodles that float in a coconut milk broth. There are also some traditional bites like edamame, gyoza, & spicy pickled cabbage. Read more.
This chili oil is like crack cocaine. Pour it all over your yaki soba or directly into your mouth.
It's wagamama more can be said? As good as any of their other locations, the main draw is the katsu curry. That said, the wagamama ramen is the best bang for your buck. They have chicken and veg broth
Unlike other wagamamas around the world, this one serves brunch! Yes, that includes avocado toast.
Omu soba, steak/asparagus, tofu avocado salad, crabcake, takoyaki, mentai spaghetti, garlic rice, mackerel. All delish, but my favs were 1st 4. HH 5:30-7p M-Sat $3 beer/$4 wine/$5-7 mixed drinks
We found more than a soba place: a genuinely authentic Japanese restaurant covering the whole gamut from excellent appetizers over soba and sashimi to the best Japanese desserts we had in a long time.
Best soba in New York City! Everything is fresh, delicious and the ambiance is chill. They also make the famous RAIN DROP CAKE - you must try the magic ✨👍✨👌
A hidden gem (but not for long) with perfectly spicy Korean hot wings — layers of heat with rich black pepper flavor — and a full kitchen of hit-list dishes: katsu, soba, curry, bi bim bop, et al. ❤❤❤
I'm so glad this is now closer to work. This location has great soba and donburi, if for some reason you don't want the excellent ramen. The kakuni ramen with Filipino style pork is amazing.
The cace e pepe is by far the star of the show, along with the chicken and dumplings. The spicy beef Sichuan was ok but nothing special.
Nishi’s pistachio cake comes from executive chef Joshua Pinksy’s mother. The super nutty, moist slice is served with a quenelle of thickened ricotta that is texturally similar to a scoop of ice cream. Read more.
David Chang's awesome, new Korean leaning Italian restaurant. Feels like Ssam Bar in ambition, quality, and price. Get all the pastas: Cace e Pepe, Chicken & Dumplings (soup), and Clams Grand Lisboa.
Lives up to David Chang's reputation. The dishes are inventive and flavorful. The pastas in particular are not to be missed- we enjoyed the Ceci e Pepe, Clams Grand Lisboa, and Spicy Beef Sichuan.
After 11pm on the weekends they have a late night menu with a great smokey, porky noodle soup
The bruleed Hawaiian Pineapple is juicy and tropical, with lime zest and Alaea salt. Read more.
The seaweed bucatini is one of the best pastas I've had in NY because of its incredible flavor. The burrata dish is also great. I regret not getting the tasting menu; definitely better value! 9/10
Dinner. Get the broccoli, mushrooms, cauliflower pasta, duck, chocolate mousse (my favorite part 😋). Skip the seaweed bucatinni (too fishy), beef (too salty). Excited to try lunch!
Best Asian fusion fast food in the area! Love the Kobeyaki burger w/ teriyaki sauce, grilled teriyaki chicken or beef bowls, udon noodle soup, & sweet potato fries w/ wasabi mayo & teriyaki ketchup!
Izakaya w/ tapas & non-traditional ramen. Wish broth less salty & thick in Uni ramen w/ tomato, scallion, & Parmesan.Fried squid legs had light & tasty seasoning. Char shu buns were not too fatty&good
Kalbi don (short rib w/ grilled onions & shishito peppers on rice) lunch set is yet another fave!;9 Kalbi is a lil' spicy, sweet & salty.
Their other addicting dishes are their house salad & $20 uni, crab, & salmon roe rice. ;9 Dinner menu is different. Lunch is definitely the time to go!
This tiny, beautifully-designed West Village restaurant serves some of the city's best pastas & a small list of rustic Tuscan-style meat dishes. Make reservations well ahead of time. [Eater 38 Member]
Never had anything less than fantastic here... sandwiches, salads, pastas, sauces, everything is delish and HUGE! The people couldn't be nicer. Pick up some frozen pasta and sauce for a quick and easy
Meatball sub is fantastic. Hard to believe this is actually a small. One of the few places where you can pick up cinghiale prosciutto. Pricey but good
I got the $10 eggplant richa richa and it was very good! Spicy, tasty, simple lunch. Quick service, free wifi and 15% off for NYU students makes it great for between classes
The Indonesian comfort food is simple and authentic, reminds me of my mom's home cooked meals
Try the banana chocolate cheddar pastry called pisang molen. Fresh out of the oven or just warmed up, it's really delicious.
Although I love the Pho, it's inconsistent. Noodles were perfect on 1st try & too soft & overcooked on 2nd but broth was heavenly. Don't bother ordering Banh mi (sammies)-they totally skimp on meat!
You must, must, must order the Caprese Focaccia! It's soft, cheesy deliciousness that you'll want more of. Share homemade pastas, Orecchiette and Cavatelli, with your date. Pair with Rose. #nyceats
The 3-course prix fixe lunch (pictured) with wine pairing is a great-tasting bargain for $37 per person before tax and gratuity.
Best Neapolitan pizza in the UES - my fave is the Diavola (w/ spicy Spressata)! Their red sauce, eggplant (Parmigiana Di Melanze), & Rigatoni Alla Bolognese are my other craves!
HH All-day M+Sun's / 5-7pm Tue-Fri: $8-10 sake drinks; $3 edamame, octopus or pork gyoza; $5 pork, oyster, shrimp, soft-shell crab or ckn buns; $7.50 shishito peppers; $8 wings or Japanese fried ckn.
Authentic Thai noodle joint! Pad Thai done right! Dip Jalapeño sauce w/ Chive pancakes. Tom Yum Bolarn (soup noodles w/ minced pork+fish balls) + Pork Kaprow w/ overeasy egg on rice are MUST-try's!
They're stingy w/ it but ask 4 Jalapeño vinegary sauce-instead of sweet soy sauces-to offset oiliness of fried Chive pancakes (like turnip cakes from Canto dimsum)
Luak Jim (app: mix of steamed seafood cakes/ balls w/ spicy seafood sauce), Pad Pukk (chicken w/ veggies in oyster sauce w/ over-easy egg on rice. Request less sesame oil) are also my MUST-try's!
Best Isan Thai food in Midtown E. Stars are Ground Chicken w/ Fried Egg, basil, garlic, & chili over rice; Egg noodle soup w/ roasted pork, lump crab meat, & yu choy + Crispy pork belly salad.
Pad Kee-Mao, Massaman curry, & Crab Meat Fried Rice, & (2) Spring rolls app are okay. No to frozen & reheated Edamame & (heavily fish-sauced) Vegetable soup apps.
Serves one of the best local good old wonton noodles, with options of Char Cheong, Beef Brisket, or Spicy Dried Shrimps. The Prawn Wonton Soup Noodles, Crab Porridge, Fish Balls and Fried Wonton r 👍
All around delicious! Ps Yelp has a special for a free glass of wine with the purchase of an entree
Pastas are definitely the more frugal option here, where golden orbs of salmon roe are tucked into a nest of Papillons (farfalle or bow tie pastas) and bathed in a lemon-creme fraiche for $22. Read more.
Vietnamese pork chop (Suon Nuong) was prepared well in ample portion. Food here is less salty than other Vietnamese places, so I was very satisfied with it.
Cozy spot that cooks up authentic flavor without standard greasy American Thai takeout fare. Tom yum noodle soup is well worth a try with spinach egg noodles!
A cozy little place; so cute, you may momentarily forget you're in New York. Order the Garganelli and the tiramisu for dessert
A little on the pricey side, but it's worth it. The gnocchi is one of the best I've ever tasted and the spaghetti bolognese is also quite tasty.
Even the dinner pastas are fascinating. The real vongole alla pescatora I ve been looking for.❤️
Amazing italian food of the highest quality, very posh as well. Def a celeb grubbing spot and tons of good looking upper eastsiders being cool and stuff. Also amazing rum raisin gelato.
This Lasagna makes me crazy. Why so good. Dare to say its the best lasagna in the city.👌
Their homemade pasta is the best; papardelle Primavera and fettuccine bolognese = ridiculous. I have dreams about their sauce! Fried olives Mmm. can't beat their prices and the waitstaff is great
Try the Ravioli - The sauce is amazing. The ravioli's are stuffed with spinach and cheese. Delicious.
VERY BAD customer svc-Over 1-hr delivery & when we called, woman on phone wasn't apologetic & said that we're gonna have to wait anthr hr or she'll cancel our order. We're HANGRY!!!!
My fave Thai in Manhattan only 2 blks away w/ “spicy” (request) & distinct LOVEs: Up Spring Rolls, Pad Thai, Jeed Jard Noodle Soup, Krapow Gai Sub, Kao Nar Gai, to name a few...
$16 lunch sets gets you your choice of small ramen, rice bowl, and pickled cabbage. An extra $3 gets 2 steamed gyoza or a bao. Ramen is decent, not great. The rice bowls and apps is where it shines.
Really great noodles, with even better service!! The dry noodles with uni is the perfect blend of Asian and Italian
Churutto Ramen is surprisingly most decent ramen on UES. Noodles were perfect & chicken broth was very good. Special Mazemen was fair. Homemade Pork Gyoza were great! Just wish they had a pork ramen.
Same Chinese owners as Sushi Ren, Tenzan & Guzan (no longer a physical shop)-all w/ ok not great sushi..so Poke is not what I’d get here.
Amazing addition to the neighborhood. Great tap list, amazing food (get the cheese/charcuterie platter, pretzel and pickles) and friendly service. Love the shop in front too for delicious things!
New ramen import by way of Korea. They make their ramen on site and their broth is on point. Loved their black ramen and tonkotsu ramen. Their gyoza is must.
Sunday Brunch here was great. Got the spaghetti with clam in white sauce as well as the garganelli bolognese.
The pasta here is to die for. We started with the foie gras (OMG), then we split the cavatelli & tortelloni, bombolini & choc dome dessert. It was probably the best meal I've had in all of America.
DAILY Hh:)!! 5-7PM: $8 cocktails. $6 wine, $4 beer. $5 rolls, cocas, dumplings, churros. 1 of the best pan-latin fares & :) hrs in midtown!
Lunch specials are great! They have 3 different portions of soba - small, medium, and large for the same price. I got the medium and couldn't finish. Don't b greedy and waste food!
Altho’ Ippudo still reigns supreme among ramen spots w/ its broth & my fave bowl, Akamaru Modern, its strict no take-away (even w/ leftovers) & no extra-garlic-oil-on-side policies are turn-offs.
And a few more.. Massaman Curry, Lemongrass Pork Chop, Kway Tiew Gai Noodle Soup, Fried Rice Clay Pot, Mango Mousse Cake (w/ Mango Sorbet)
Like Viet pho joints in LA-most phenomenol pho (Viet beef soup noodle) I've tasted on E coast! I recommend squeezing some lime in the broth. Cha gio (spring, not Summer rolls) are damn good too!
Van's (in Albany) & this sibling serve up THE BEST Viet fare on E. Coast: beef noodle soup, Viet spring rolls, & grilled pork are my faves!
My new fave dish- Beef Stew w/ star anise, carrots, & daikon- just like Mom makes it! ;9
Pecora Bianca, Dorado Tacos, Roberta’s Pizza, Takumi Taco, Bao by Kaya, Rockaway Clam, Inday, Little Collins, Bob White, Top Hops, Tuck Shop, Go Fish Sushi, Liquiteria, Taim, Kuro-Obi, Trapizzino.
get the Indian vegetable cake and the chimichurri portobello mushroom. Very very good.
Had the morel encrusted tofu special and it was unreal. Would highly recommend their brownie and peach cobbler desserts as well. Don't get the special tree cocktail. Tastes like a glade candle smells
This place has the same feel as Tiny Thai and M-thai and taste the same. The Sukho Noodle Soup is basically tom yum noodle soup with lots of different toppings.
My fave @ New World Mall food court after Tea Twitter (sadly) left. Get the Taiwanese Beef Noodle or the Roast Pork Noodle w/ the Tea Egg- you’ll be able to top off both w/ unlimited pickles.
Happy this N. Chinese hand-pulled chain is part of the UES. Try their Spicy & Tingly Beef Noodle, the Oxtail Noodle & my fave are their Spicy & Sour Spinach Dumplings.
Best 1000-yr old egg w/ pork congee, Spicy fried fish ball, Chinese broccoli & Yau Choy w/ Oyster sauce in NYC! Also, decent tasting XLB & Pork in (not so) hot Spicy sauce lo mein. Will be be back!
Not best in NYC but decent Viet food & BEST SOUP NOODLE FOR WHEN UR SICK ON UES! Get Pork & Shrimp Wonton Ckn Broth Noodle, Cha Gio Thit, Bo Loc Lac, Cha Ram, Ckn or Beef Banh Mi & Shrimp Chips
Pho Ga's 1 of my fave Ckn Noodle Soup go-to's when sick..esp w/ creative Chinese-influenced Ginger Scallion sauce. Grilled Pork Chop, Mango & Beets Summer Roll & Cha Gio all good. Ask 4 xtra Nuoc Cham
