Anthony Tse: Got the dan dan noodles, fried pork buns, fried fish filets, and twice cooked porks. All the food was delicious, though pork was a bit over salted.
Joshua Richardson: Duck fried rice, pork wonton dumplings, fish fillet
Jade: Tripe, Szechwan peppercorn, soup dumplings!

Alison Hickman: Lovely ambiance (great for a date night) and generous portions of delicious food! I'll definitely be back!
Moshe Freund: Awesome food, great place, friendly service, I'll definitely be back... Loved it..
Y No Care: Just loved it!
Nicola: Great spot to go and grab your smoked fish selection or fish salad on Fridays morning (8am-1pm) and bring it at home. Very local adventure. Lovely!
Urban Oyster: This is one of the largest producers of smoked fish in the US, and you can find many of their products in stores. But for real deals, stop in Fridays, 8am-1pm, when they open up for retail sales.
BuzzFeed: From 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Fridays, the Greenpoint warehouse that supplies Russ & Daughters is open to the public. Pro-tip: There are no bagels, so BYOB.

The Corcoran Group: Straightforward, home-style Italian food, with the BEST garlic knots. Get the house salad, followed by fried zucchini and something from their specials menu.
Gregory Fillinger: Good stuff
Ilyssa D: Fresh, delicious, can't go wrong with anything on this menu...and top it off with zeppoles!

Taco Restaurant · East Williamsburg · 36 tips and reviews
Emily Rose Feinberg-Hosier: Amazing! Guacamole, tacos, quesadillas, tostadas, you name it, it tastes incredible, and such a great price!!
Tim Vetter: Weird food club score: Get a quesadilla con huitlacoche aka Mexican truffle aka corn smut, not easy to find in NYC. $4. http://www.brooklyntheborough.com/2010/08/the-dish-uncovering-huitlacoche/
Time Out New York: Try the flor de calabaza quesadilla. Fresh masa is griddled, then topped with mounds of sautéed squash blossoms, cotija cheese, crema and lettuce. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more.

Beeju Augustin: I had the vegetarian legume... I enjoyed it. Loved the passion fruit.
Serious Eats: Goat Tassot: served with rice and beans, fried plantains (like tostones), and pikil, a fruity hot sauce that tastes like Yucatan habanero salsa diluted with vinegar.
M B: The Tasso's really good and have the Port-au-Princess (or a few if you're not driving!)...and their sweet potato bread pudding is yum!
