Andrea B (cyberetto): Try the Bánh Xèo, crispy fine crepe, stuffed with shrimp, pork, bean sprouts, rolling it up in fresh lettuce leaves with fresh mint. Read more.
Noah Koff: Rolls, bun, pho - it's all good here!
GNTLMN: All their other Vietnamese dishes are very authentic as well. If you don't want to make the trek out there, they have a more upscale restaurant called Silk in the Pearl.

AD Nys: Can't decide? Get Chef's whim Tasting Menu. June highlights: 500 day aged prosciutto, beet watermelon salad, broccoli + pecorino fritti, sugar snap pea + mint chopped salad, lamb ragú, panama cotta.
CITY GRIT: We are obsessed with this place! Order everything you can! We’re still dreaming about the Fava Toast, Garganelli, Cavatelli, Lamb Leg, and the Broccoli.
Eater: Bartender Evan Zimmerman is behind the menu. The eight-item cocktail list features unexpected flavors like black truffle (in the "Lights Out") and campari seeped with cedar (in the "Pan-Am").
Gary: Really good, fresh Moroccan teas (including other varieties in addition to the usual mint tea) and tasty scones. The scones do tend to run out by the afternoon.
Cason Bang: Great outdoor view of the park. Shaded in the mornings and sunny in the afternoon.
Jose Mulino: The people who run this place go out of there way to make sure you get what you want. Love the neighborhood feel and all the smiles. It keeps me coming back. Plus the moroccan coffee is great.
Melissa Anne: Must stop at pesto outside of the box booth, as well as zuppa for mint lemonade and channa masala. Support local farmers by buying from multiple fruit and veggie stands!
Tara Trilops: Grab a breakfast burrito to start and then check out the rest of the market - beautiful flowers and produce, and a wide variety of cheese, sauces, jams, chocolates - the list goes on.
Ian Lomax: It's a market, not a tourist attraction. Don't just look, buy some tasty food!

Scott Mainwaring: They have IT'S-ITs on the menu! And not just vanilla: MINT.
Chris K: Best pizza I've had on the west coast. Better than anything I've had in NYC also. Definitely worth the long wait.
Andy McMillan: This place transcends Foursquare tips. It is simply not possible to convey just how good this pizza is, or even suggest a pie that stands above the others. But order the margarita with truffle oil.
