Alexander Morris: Great staff, fast service, and great sushi at a very reasonable price - get there before 9pm for the $1 drink special and have an even more awesome time! Chicken Katsu is great too!
Anne Saulovich: My fav Japanese place in the neighborhood. Friendly service, great prices & consistently good food. LOVE the Spicy Shrimp Tempura (on the R in pic)!!!
Nina: My favorite place! It's tiny but really good, affordable and fresh sushi. My husband absolutely loves their tofu teriyaki.

Douglas Elliman: A casual lunch place with both tradition and exotic dishes. We love the Bangkok street market-themed setting and go crazy for the curry puffs! They are so delicious.
Village Voice: Decorated like a Southeast Asian market this place has the quirk of one too - Here that means food far hotter, sauces more tart and even portions more generous.
Matthew: A good selection of two-course lunch specials is available for $8 (before tax and gratuity) between noon and 3:30 pm everyday, including weekend.

DinkyShop SG: Great complex flavors, subtle garlic, onion, great marinades and grilled protein accents most dishes. Get sev small plates or appetizers and share. Noodle dishes great..
Serious Eats: The uptown location of the fun Chinese-American restaurant with excellent dumplings and other classics.
Lindsay Anderson: honestly found this meal to be mediocre. the presentation is awesome, but beyond that the pricing is nuts for the quantity and quality of the dishes. meh.

Rosemary Abendroth: Great lunch specials. But the brunch special on Saturday and Sunday is a great uws buy. If u r in a hurray u can have a great multiple course meal served fast.
EArchitect: There's additional seating in the rear, which IMO is the better section to dine, especially with a large group of friends.
Ken S: ask for a table in the back
