Go with a friend. Get the combo and a few smaller plates. Then put on your gloves and get to work with those crawfish
Everything is good, take it from someone who's eaten around in SE Asia. The muah Chee and Lobak are personal faves.
Named after the Chinese phenomenon of ma la (“numbing and spicy”), the restaurant’s starring dish is a variation on Chongqing-hailing dry pot, a stir-fry-like spread built with a choice of 52 add-ins อ่านเพิ่มเติม
This is best Indian food I have had in or outside India, I dread the day it becomes busy and expensive, but so good, nyc needed this, byob! Order anything, everything.
3 kebabs over rice/noodles/salad/soup is a good value for Manhattan. Fun to eat, but smells like cumin in here (which I love!)
Okay, so: get all the amazing Kulchas, get the Chicken Malai Tikka and Lamb Keema Hyderabadi, and then get the fried chicken for a big plate. Share everything.
For large format Chinese dining, Wu’s Wonton is King. You want Peking duck, Dungeness crab, golden fried rice, spring rolls, and, of course, wonton soup. BYO wine (not beer).
Delicious Indian food with a large selection, including kebabs and succulent chicken tikka. Friendly and relaxed environment. Water is not readily available so being your own if eating in.
The Guac Burger is tasty. It's a black bean-quinoa-sweet potato patty with corn salsa, onion, guacamole, tortilla strips and chipotle aioli on a whole grain bun. The Mac n' Cheese is also good!
Everything is good. Jaja noodles, tomato and egg noodles, beef and cucumber bing, the beef flank and cucumber side dishes, all delicious. And don’t miss the potato chips imported straight from Asia!
Apart from the excellent khachapuri ($12 to $16) blistered and bubbling, you'll want to start with an order of lamb khinkali ($8), juicy steamed dumplings the size of baseballs. อ่านเพิ่มเติม
Veggie burger platter with avocado is my ish. I go here every work day for lunch. Love the workers there. Be nice to them! They're the bomb.
Carnitas= game changer.They're better than any sit down restaurant I've had yet! cemitas/tortas make for a very hearty meal (or save half for later!)Great tacos!
Noodles! Any of them and the soup dumplings. Best broth in the dumplings I’ve tasted here in NYC (and I’ve lived in Hong Kong all my life! So that’s pretty remarkable)
Japanese chain specializing in curry--get the pork cutlet (katsu) and go crazy with all the topping options.
Delicious, massive bagels. Breakfast sandwich with lox can feed two reasonably hungry people. Fun cream cheese to experiment with.
Solid mini-chain devoted to kati rolls, the Indian version of a burrito. Vegetarian fillings are our favorites.
Super cosy place with a small counter to eat. The pulled pork sandwich is fantastic, served with tortilla chips and pickles. The secret is a 6-hour slow cooked meat in Mexican beer!
Their ramen is always delicious—especially the Tan Tan. Our favorite part, though, is the little dishes of kimchi they bring to the table.
A new location with the same great food and plenty of seating. Hard to go wrong with anything on the menu, but you don't want to miss the Spicy Lamb Dumplings. WinstonWanders.com
Cute new soba spot in East Village. The noodles are fresh and the broth was clean. Come in a group of 4 to get one of the sweet private booths in the front.
The classic salmon avocado was very tasty. Attractive price performance ratio.
Shiromaru Hakata Classic: A silken, opaque broth; firm and carefully crafted noodles; and a braised pork belly as good as any in town. Long waits still common. อ่านเพิ่มเติม
All 3 of the lunch special rates are delicious. You can't go wrong with any. The karaage is amazing too!
Rintintin is a European-style cocktail bar that pumps out drinks for its eccentric clientele. No matter your nationality, Rintintin is where to duck in for a classy nightcap. อ่านเพิ่มเติม
There's some solid Malaysian dishes like laksa, but also some good hard-to-find specialties like candied squid and maggi mee.
For some seriously soothing soba noodles, head to Cocoron. I love the dipping noodles, though they take some work to eat. Don't miss the Stamina Soba and read about my visit on WinstonWanders below! อ่านเพิ่มเติม
Everything is amazing here! Best cauliflower and eggplant outside of israel. Have not been able to find a truly authentic Israeli place until this- unbelievable. Can’t wait to go back!
Order lamb kebab,chicken shawarma, pork kebab and feta dip! They have great vegetarian options. Order vegetarian paella and crispy cauliflower. Excellent cocktails.
Everything! Get it all. As much as you can. It’s the most colorful bowl full of goodness I’ve had in a long time. Absolutely delicious. Can’t go wrong with anything.
They make the wraps right in front of you and I don’t mean they just stuff a pre made tortilla in front of you I mean they literally bake the tortilla wrap when you order! Amazing. 10/10 coming back.
They all are equally good. Do get everything if you're in a group, or even if you're not (not gonna judge). We once had a little jar of Za'atar as a gift from a friend. It was a fun snack at home.
My favorite Indian spot in NYC, everything is great about this place (service, food and ambiance) Highly recommend the thalis (South Indian and North Indian both are really good)
Incredible $13-$18 lunches in serene environ. Handroll specials: negi Toro, blue crab, salmon avocado, spicy yellowtail. Set menus: soy fried chicken or washu udon beef rice bowl, all w/ chawanamushi
Bold flavored mixian (rice noodles) dishes are the main attraction. But don't overlook the small dishes to accompany the noodles. Ghost chicken and beef tartare are two excellent choices.
The New York-style bagels are baked fresh daily, and the fish is smoked and cured in-house. Baz also serves amazing blintzes, and expertly prepared egg dishes. อ่านเพิ่มเติม
Top 10 bagels and lox in the city. Best option within a mile of TriBeCa hands down.
Very traditional udon spot. The broth is what makes it amazing here. I had the beef and shrimp tempura udon and it was delicious. Add a raw egg on there if you're feeling adventurous.
This is what drunk night snack bliss looks like. Order skewers of hot, crackly chicken skin ($1.25), velvety beef tongue ($2.50) and wash it all down with more Japanese beer on tap. อ่านเพิ่มเติม
Scallop bacon, quail egg bacon, pork belly with shishito and scallion yakitori. Supa tuna don and kimchi udon noodles. If you are three get an okonomaki. Hot Sake. Excellent prices, great value.
I could eat a whole order of the pork soup dumplings by myself. I mean, you're here for them, do it. And then split the crispy pork noodles and scallion pancakes. Great prices too.
This place is nothing fancy, but it's one of the the best falafel sandwiches in town. Crisp nutty falafel jammed into a split pit, lathered with tahini and topped with the works. Hot sauce optional.
This Texas/Carolina hybrid spot offers a no-frills counter service environment flush with hardwood-smoked, bigger-than-your-head beef ribs, just-as-delicious spare ribs, and excellent brisket. อ่านเพิ่มเติม
All the ingredients are so flavorful and authentic. My fave is the Super Mario. They’re pretty big. You should share unless you’re incredibly hungry. But they keep well if you need to take half to go.
Crossing the bridge noodles and the Ghost Chicken are good. Very overpriced though (freaking Manhattan premium)
Rigatoni + Sunday Sauce. Just do it. There’s also gluten free pasta here and they’re friendly about dietary modifications.
California Bowl is delicious. Food is so fresh and tasty, composed similar to a poke bowl but the food is warm and its fantastic.
Amazing Kushari. Kushari is a vegetarian Egyptian dish that can make you feel great about life. Try the original Kushari with a bit of hot sauce.
