Melody Ewing: Order the Avocado California burger, but substitute the balsamic dressing with the BareBurger special sauce. Got fries? You must try the curry ketchup and spicy chipotle mayo dipping sauces!
justinstoned: Peanut Butter shakes & Great dipping sauces for those fries.
Ian Saville: Get the basket of fries and onion rings - included are four amazing dipping sauces. Enjoy!

Daniel Stillman: Samosa chaat is really great, and really huge.Dishes you will find here that are uncommon elsewhere include the vada (fried savory donuts with spicy dipping sauces) and idli. Get the combo platter!
Kisha Chandler: Delicious fresh vegetarian food! Food is cheap and wonderful!
Eater: Check out the Pondicherry dosa, named after the former French colony on the south coast of India. It contains a wealth of shredded vegetables and displays some heat. Read more.

Christos Gammonopolis: Super crispy scallion pancakes w delicious dipping sauce!
Crystal: One of the nicest basic Chinese takeout places I’ve been to in NY - all the usual standards, with pleasant tables to sit.
Dan Higgins: Brand new spot! It's super clean and has A/C, TV and a waitress. The staff is really friendly too!
Eater: At Eim Khao Mun Kai, the chicken is laid across the top of the rice, & gizzards, livers, and hearts are served on the side, along with a spicy dipping sauce (that's the Thai part) and a bowl of soup. Read more.
Michael Genao: If you like hainanese chicken this is a good deal and also delicious Thai twist.
david ' dj shakez ' thai: Closest thing to the street cart on Sukhimvit 20 in Bangkok!
Leah Evans: The food is wonderful though a bit pricey with smaller portions but it's all the quality of what's going into it. Sweet potatoe fries and dipping sauce are amazing. The staff = The best of any bar.
Ian Saville: Amazing brunch food, but also great for a beer late night
Time Out New York: Down some beers while garage rock plays at this low-key neighborhood pub. Join the locals chilling at the bar over an American or international brew. Read more.

Vietnamese Restaurant · 38 tips and reviews
Amy: Other than places in Chinatown, this does Vietnamese cuisine just right. For a taste of Viet, try Goi Cuon - a summer roll with shrimp, pork, green leaves, mint with a sweet peanut dipping sauce.
Anna: Great pho and spring rolls! Definitely becoming a regular here
EArchitect: Authentic Vietnamese food. The phở bò tái (beef soup), chả giò (spring rolls), gỏi cuốn tôm (shrimp summer rolls), and bánh mì thịt (sandwich with meat on a French baguette) are my go-to items here.
