Frank Rimalovski: Excellent fast casual Greek/Mediterranean. Salmon rice plate was excellent! I'll be back. Cool vibe with cozy community style tables. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more.
Mona Wu: Yummy vegetarian options. Try the Kruveet platter with roasted cauliflower and eggplant over rice or quinoa with hummus on the side. Ask for hot sauce!
Alicia: Chicken scharwma is better than the chicken and rice and if you eat in you get home made chips on the side! Ask for extra green sauce, it's spicy and pairs well with the sandwich!

Rob Silverman-Ascher: This place is amazing!!! Best veggie burrito around! As a vegetarian, I am annoyed about the rice having chicken stock in it, but I am willing to break my strict vegetarianism for that! 5 stars!
SpotOn: Some of the best burritos in the city, although vegetarians note: the rice is cooked with chicken stock.
Jo-Ann: The carnitas burrito with pinto beans, rice, sour creame, guac, tomatoes and green sauce was amazing. Surprisingly better than Chipotle.

Jason Schulweis: Baked BBQ pork buns specifically, but everything is great (we also had fried pork dumplings, streamed shrimp dumplings, spring rolls and streamed rice balls - all great).
Ina Li: Line starts at 8:30am and 3:30pm, be prepared. But the food is worth the wait! Highly recommend: rice rolls (freshly made), chicken in lotus leaves, pork chops, and the most famous chashu bun!
Nicole Sweat: Love their congee and lotus steamed rice! Shrimp dumplings and pork bunssss

Josh Harwell: Try the Lemongrass Chicken Rice and African Nectar Tea! Awesome!!
Jo Trent: The pork and spring roll rice dish delicious.
Berk Kapicioglu: Get the duck com, which is duck with rice. Great spot for quick meals. Low key, but always crowded. You would wait less if you come by yourself. They keep the restaurant quite warm during winter.

Tommy Lane: I had lunch here today. Vegetable ginger chicken fried brown rice with hot oil. It is very good. Hit the spot.
Ben Cabangun: the oxtail stew, the beef curry, the soul chicken, and the filipino style garlic rice!! and jane is dope!!!!
Shannon Small: 95% of people that go to Red Bamboo get the Buffalo Wings and there is a good reason for it. Also the Garlic Fried Rice is amazing.
Michelle Cheung: This place can get pricey though I still love it. I'm addicted to the corn. The roti wraps are more filling than the rice platter IMO. Jerk chicken, goat curry all good
Elon Rubin: This is one of the coolest and best places in NYC/the village. The food outstanding: I got a jerk chicken roti, jerk corn and rice and beans. The prices are very cheap. Highly recommended!
Jess Naldo: LOVE AT FIRST BITE: Jerk chicken, jerk pork, oxtail, sangria, rice and beans... Everything! Laid-back yet festive vibe with attentive and fun service. Can't wait to be back for brunch!

Hannah K.: Get everything. The dumplings. Amazing. The crispy rice. Incredible. The crispy chicken. Yes, please. Philly knows how to do it. You're welcome, NYC.
Deb F: Perfect combo: Dan Dan noodles, dry pepper chicken and Taiwanese sausage fried rice
James J: Solid. Dan Dan and dumplings way to go as a starter. Crispy rice (w pork) is amazing. Good beer selection especially considering.

Jesse Kaplan: chicken rice bowl is to die for. (and the akamaru modern is obviously delicious.)
Aileen Tse: i love the ramen here but my favorite thing to get is the spicy cod roe over rice off the lunch menu!
Cathy 🐰: The spicy ramen here is overwhelming, not in a good way. I recommend getting the pork bun and eel over rice. Totto Ramen has the best spicy ramen in NYC - it's a longer wait, but worth it.
