"Ix is the best Guatemalan food I?ve ever tasted outside of Guate (and my family?s cooking). The paches are flavorful with a wonderful texture and served with slices of white bread (that?s how we eat them at my house). Definitely order the chuchitos ifyou?re looking for a denser tamalito to eat with crema (their spin on it with horseradish is beyond tasty). Even theirsandwiches served with toasted pumpkin seeds are delicious. You won?t regret it. The vibes here are immaculate with lovelydecor, really fun live music, and excellent service. Make sure to end your meal with a cafecito (I had a cappuccino that wasdelicious even unsweetened) and a rellenito. I love it here and can?t wait to go back the next time I visit New York!"

"When we called to reserve a table, no one informed us that there was a dining time limit of 1.5 hours. My friend wanted to invite more people to join us for dinner, but I was unsure if everyone would agree to the minimum charge of $60, including taxes and tips. I confirmed a reservation for 7 people during my second call, but ultimately, only 6 of us showed up. The table we were given was quite small, making it uncomfortable for six people, especially with the mandatory minimum spending of $60, as well as a 20% tip. For just two people, the minimum tip is 18%. I was confused about the dining time limit—was it two hours or 1.5? The party area was limited to just the backyard for additional seating. I was with friends who didn’t know the group well, and we arrived early at 3 PM, but we couldn’t wait until 6:30 PM. That’s why we ended up sitting at a separate table for two. Unfortunately, the restaurant didn’t seem to care and couldn’t arrange for us to be seated closer together. We had no choice in the matter. To make matters worse, the female waiter had a poor attitude. It felt like we were dining in a sidewalk market. She questioned another girl who served me ponzu sauce, apparently because I looked impatient when I saw her face. Her attitude only worsened after that. It seems like they need to train their employees better, as they seem unaware of how to provide good service. As for the food, it was just okay, typical of basic Japanese cuisine. There were too many restrictions! Customers are forced to adhere to the restaurant’s rules and limitations. I cannot recommend this place unless someone is specifically looking for a fast-food experience. In short, I don’t think I’ll be returning next time."

"The main benefit of living in NYC for me is the availability of interesting unique restaurants. Sushi Lin came up as such an opportunity and I was eager to try that experience. I went for the Top Omakase offer on the menu. The $110 offering. The place is small, definitely nice. I sat at the bar in front of Chef Lin who was definitely nice. The dishes were interesting. The service was nice. In all honesty, It just wasn’t an amazing, memorable, earth shattering experience I expected. I guess for me, a nice, very fresh, good size serving of the actual fish is what does it. The servings here looked interesting. Though, I couldn’t really taste the gold flakes, as interesting as it looked and, I prefer fresh over torched sashimi. Your miles may very. For me, that experience eliminated the need for more Omakase experiences here. A fashionable trend that continues to spread here with escalating price tags. For comparison I attached some the servings I got in HK, BK, and my favorite sushi restaurant in South Hadley MA. All at the fraction of the cost here. (airline ticket not included)."

"I discovered this place while looking for an authentic falafel. While the exterior of the shop make it look more like a corner bodega and the interior looks like that of a run down take out joint the food is amazing.My falafel was packed and fresh and hot. I found a little foil wrap of pickles to go with my sandwich and one little extra. There was four full sized napkins in the bag. I know that sounds trivial but no one wants those cheap napkins that protect nothing and absorb less.I think this is a gem of a spot and you can tell it’s a neighborhood favorite give the folks constantly coming in and going out."
