JoanieJoanie: Chicken meatball is great... and worth getting your tongue burned for. Cold tofu is amazing as well

Charles B.Charles B: start out with some delectable Tofu that'll make you feel like you're in Tokyo, savor the incredible broth of the Stamina soba, and finish it off with the green tea affogato. this place is money.

Anna S.Anna S: The empanada, kale bowl and nachos are all very tasty. The move here is to arrive ahead of time and put your name down for a table, and they’ll text you when it’s ready.

Leemor Y.Leemor Yuravlivker: Great vegan Mexican spot. Highly recommend the nachos with guac. Favorite taco I tried was the chayote fish. Make sure to try the hot sauces 🌶

Andrea N.Andrea Novotna: All the bowls are fantastic.Huge fan of the butter poached shrimp and tofu one.We shared 2 bowls between 3 of us and been perfectly filled. Big shout out goes to the nicest staff members we met in NY!

Bin Y.Bin Yang: Get the JFC, Tofu Coney Island to start, then hit it with either the triple pork triple garlic mazemen or Tokyo shio ramen.

Jon S.Jon Steinback: I know the main attraction is the ramen, but get a 1000 year deviled egg; it's fantastic (and cheap!). and for vegetarians, the veggie ramen is delicious. also, can't go wrong with the dry bizen sake.

David R.David Riordan: Everything is a surprise and delight; clearly obsessed over. Coney Island tofu is a standout starter and chicken confit ramen is basically the best chicken noodle soup you'll ever have.

Ms H.Ms Helene: Buddha's Vegetables will satisfy vegetarians and carnivores alike. The fish congee with scallions and ginger rocked too.
