BOKAGUÁ in the Bronx really did what needed to be done... Dominican x Asian fusion?? Yeah... they snapped. From date night to girl night this is definitely the perfect spot. The ambiance was nice and moody but still gave sexy. The music was good and service was even better... Oxtail samosas, lobster fried rice, cocktails, and a whole vibe I will definitely be back... did i mention I actually enjoyed each dish...them oxtail samosas so good. read more

This spot feels like it's quietly stepping into a much-needed role as a high-end date night option in an area that leans heavily casual and family-friendly. The crispy octopus easily rivals anything I've had in Manhattan, super tender with just the right crisp. The cassava hash browns were so good I was almost annoyed by how simple they were. Paired with a rich, meaty sauce and a fresh fennel crunch, the whole dish was incredibly balanced. The wings were the most straightforward item on the menu (in the best way), lightly spiced, slightly sweet, and great for picky eaters. Someone needs to give the bartenders a raise. I ordered three drinks just to test consistency--every single one was balanced, spirit-forward, and not overly sweet. The presentation was different on each one and felt intentional without being gimmicky. I've seen some of the lower Yelp ratings and they mostly call out price, but this is very much a you get what you pay for situation. The quality of the food, the portion sizes (especially for this level of execution), and the overall intentionality behind the menu justify it in my opinion. Service was excellent. They squeezed me in last minute, and my waiter, Dionicio, handled my coconut allergy (not easy at a Dominican spot) with real care and ease. The space itself is worth mentioning - moody, mushroom/mossy interiors. Super cute, very well thought out, and definitely a place I'll be coming back to. read more

I noticed the 1 star reviews are because of the price. So I'll start from there..this is a high end restaurant, therefore the prices are VERY high. The drinks could really add up to your bill fast! Taxes and gratuity are included. I always suggest to take a look at the menu and their website to see what to expect, I already knew coming here that it would be expensive and I was ready. I made a reservation online for my daughter and I and it was a very smooth service from start to finish. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The drinks are worth every penny! They are made just right and it brings a lot! I ordered a lychee martini which I couldn't even finish after my meal, I forgot the name of the other drink I ordered but it was HUGE and delicious, I added a picture for reference.i ordered the oxtail samosas which were soooo goood, seafood on fire LITERALLY , and the coconut cod croquetas. For dessert I got the dulce de coco Enyucao which comes with vanilla ice cream on top, passion fruit caramel, cassava as the base and shredded coconut cake roll. The server then comes and pours a very delicious "sauce" all around it making it a beautiful experience by itself. This dessert is enough for 2/3 people. The ambiance is very cozy, trendy and refreshing. It doesn't feel like you're in the Bronx at all, it gives luxury vacation energy. The place is great for pictures. I recommend you take a cab because parking during the evening will be horrible, there's a lot of popular bars and restaurants around the area. I noticed they have changed the menu, they have taken some things out and they also change the presentation of the drinks so you might want to go directly to their website or to their Instagram to get more updated visuals of what they are currently offering. I came here last year during the spring If you want to try out their food and drinks without having to pay their gratuity and other fees, you could just order directly from the website for takeout read more

This is a certified date spot. You have the ambiance- that's giving love, it's cozy. This place has two of my Fav genres- Latin and Asian. I was so excited to try this menu. We started off Mofongo wantons. The plate had some soy sauce on bottom of plate and two pieces of perfect crunchy pieces of pork belly . I gave this a 6/10. While the dish was delish, it was not giving Mofongo. The plantain was mushy almost like mash planting-aka 3 golpes. In addition to this we got the ox tail samosas. These were 10/10. Pure perfection. Fresh samosa crust with lots of meat. For dinner we split the fried red snapper with coconut rice and said of plantains. This was 10/10: thr fish was seasoned, crust was crunchy and I love that it was fillet. For drink I got the boka tini and the hubs got the Long Island iced tea. Drinks were very good, nice pours and cool cups Overall the night was a 10. The only hiccup was the guy that walked from the street and sat down next to us (@ a dirty table as patrons had just left) drank their left over drinks and asked my husband for money. The waiters were oblivious, if they noticed they did nothing. The man moved on to the bar and asked another man for money. Thank god this guy kept it moving. read more

My friend and I came here last night to celebrate her belated birthday, and it's a very cute and trendy spot. During dinner they had a DJ and someone playing the electric violin, which was super cool, though I will say it did get very loud, so be prepared for the volume to get turned up on the weekend. We were seated right away and were walked through the menu with our server, which was nice. As for food, we ordered the lemongrass shrimp dumplings and the cod croquets to share. Both very extremely flavorful, and delicious. My friend also ordered the mofongo dumplings and she said they were delicious as well. For dessert, we shared the custard tart which was so good with a popcorn ice cream. I would definitely come back here again, though maybe for an earlier dinner or to try out brunch sometime. read more

First review of the New Year -- Happy New Year, my Yelpies!! Good eats and grand vibes to kick things off! This review is for Bokaguá, a Dominican-Asian fusion spot my brother found for dinner while we were in the Bronx. We didn't want to drive far, so he did what we all do -- hit Instagram. And let me tell you... IG did NOT disappoint. The Vibe Vibe check? PASSED. The lighting is great, the atmosphere and ambiance are on point, and this place truly works for everything: * Date night (fellas, this is an A+) * Ladies night / girls night for tea and giggles * Quiet dinner * Catch-ups * Family outings It fits all the vibes. You can really see the fusion throughout the decor. You're given chopsticks and regular silverware, there are multiple water options (still, sparkling, etc.), and the whole setup just feels thoughtful and intentional. The Menu The menu is built around sharing, which I love. * Small Shares = appetizers * Large Shares = entrees Drinks? Also hit. Now let's get into this food. Small Shares Mofongo Dumplings These come with crispy chicharrón (pork belly). Whoever decided to mix these two food groups is a mad scientist -- in the best way. Not my favorite small share overall, but the chicharrón was crispy, juicy, and DELICIOUS, and the mofongo absolutely did its thing. Caribbean Oxtail Samosas Listen... the Caribbean in me loves a good oxtail, and these did me RIGHT. They come with yellow curry yogurt, watermelon hot sauce, and mango banilejo salsa -- yes, all of that. Even my brother, who does not like oxtails, tore these up. That should tell you something. Korean Fried Chicken Wings BABY. THESE WINGS. Hands down my favorite small share. Tender, crispy, great size, and the sauce?? EVERYTHING. It's a Dominican rum + gochujang glaze, served with an avocado lime crema. We were dipping. We were eating. We were happy. I'm already planning to order these again when I go back -- because I will be going back. Large Shares Fried Crispy Red Snapper (my brother's dish) Served with green curry sauce, papaya chili salad, and coconut rice. This was our least favorite dish. The fish itself was bland and very heavily breaded, which made it hard to enjoy the snapper. That said -- the coconut rice was delicious, and the papaya chili salad was something I didn't know I needed. Jjajang Braised Short Rib THIS was it for me. It comes with sweet plantain purée, tostone crumbs, and a chayote starfruit slaw. The short rib was tender, melt-in-your-mouth perfection. The best bites were when everything was on the fork together -- absolutely worth it and zero disappointment. Dessert We finished with Dulce de Coco Enyucao -- vanilla ice cream, passion fruit caramel, cassava and shredded coconut cake roll. It was my first time trying it. I didn't love it, but it was a cute, sweet way to end the meal. Drinks & Service My brother got an espresso martini -- on point. I like mine sweeter, he likes his more bitter, and it worked for both of us (which says a lot). I let our server choose my drink and he nailed it with the Coconut Limonada -- smooth, refreshing, and a cute little buzz. Service was great. Our server gave solid recommendations, checked on us, and made sure we were good. Tip was included in the bill -- not sure if that's automatic or time-based, but just be aware. Final Thoughts I definitely recommend Bokaguá. It's a fun fusion, great vibe, mostly strong dishes, and an experience worth trying. Go check it out and let me know what you think. New year, new eats -- and this one started us off right. read more

I absolutely loved everything about my Bokagua experience. The food here is delicious and the ambiance is great too. The staff is very friendly and accommodating as well. I would call this place a neighborhood gem! Just about everything is meant to be shared and is absolutely delicious. I especially enjoy the lobster fried rice, samosas, and the short rib. But honestly, you cannot go wrong here. I can't wait to come back and try everything on the menu. Did I mention the drinks are awesome? I'm only taking off one star for the lack of kid friendly options, you're pretty much "stuck" with Korean wings (which are quite tasty). But, I do wish they added some more kid friendly thighs like French fries. Maybe with a flare! I can't wait to come back in an adult only circle ;) read more

Quick summary: went to celebrate my son's 35th birthday. Wanted a small personal setting and Bokagua more than delivered. The entire experience was a WOW from the ambiance, to the service, to the food. I won't give anything away because you should go and just be prepared for a culinary fantasy come true. Ambiance was elegant with excellent music and mood lighting. The decor did indeed give the rainforest in the middle of the city vibe. The bathroom: a true experience!! The waterfall sink....really clean. Kinda dark but your eyes adjust. Pretty cool. Service was quick and on point. We absolutely never felt neglected or over powered. Food was fast (snapper did require extra time to be prepared and cooked but we were told that from the beginning) and tasted beyond words. There was never a moment where there was not food or drink in our table. The servers were very friendly, gave food tutorials (how to eat the mofongo etc) and extra patient with us as we ordered, tasted, and ordered again!! Food: we literally ordered almost everything available on the menu and then ordered seconds for many of the small shares. There was absolutely nothing we did not like. Our taste buds were in heaven and the chef satisfied all our pallets. If we had to pick favorites: the Salmon Salpicon on the tostones (I would eat that alone!), the oxtail samosas, the Braised short ribs (the plantain purée was phenomenal and a side that outshone the main item...they couldn't sell it to me separately, drats), the fried Red snapper was a melt in your mouth (watch the bones) delight. The drinks were excellent and the flavors burst in the mouth without being overpowered by alcohol but after a few sips, you knew the alcohol was there!! And the drink glasses were exquisite! It took everything not to drop one or two in my bag! I told them they should sell them. Menu: note the menu is divided into small shares (apertivos), large shares, sides, and desserts. Small Share sizes are acceptable for 2 people and large shares for 3-4. We shared the braised rib with 3 people and we each had a satisfying amount. I do believe that for the amount of $$$ we spent, the second glass of ginger ale could have been on the house but it is what it is. Note: the tip is included. The machine only calculates for any additional (percent above 18) that you may wish to reward. Would I go back? Definitely without question, they will see me again. Bronx on the culinary map! read more

So I traveled over an hour from Brooklyn to come try out this spot I've been seeing all over Instagram and it did not disappoint! I was so glad to find parking right in front of the restaurant. So lots of street / meter parking available which was a plus for me. I went on a Saturday night with my cousins for a girls dinner...walking in, we thought it was so beautiful. The lighting, the greenery and roses from the ceilings dropping down looks so beautiful. It also smelled like Sage! Could've also been from the sage they burn from the Forest Fire drink on their menu... We started with drinks... I got the Forest Fire which was a mezcal based drink so delicious . The waiter burned the sage and it made our table smell so good. My cousins ordered a Mamajuana drink from their cocktail menu.... For food We ordered a few plates to share.... Tostones, Korean bbq wings, grilled shrimp, lobster fried rice. Def a place I'd like to bring my husband to soon. read more

I'll admit, I judged a book by its cover. I judged BOKAGUÁ on its customers... but the food did not disappoint. The place is beautifully decorated! We didn't have a reservation but we were in the area and decided to try. The service was great, everyone was very attentive. Plate after plate everything was just getting better and better! We started with the Cesar salad, the cod croquettes and tuna tartar which came with the best tostones! The croquettes were so delicious we ordered a second plate! We were hoping to try the lobster fried rice but we were so full! The waiter convinced us to try this coconut dessert that was out of the world. It was basically like a warmed Dominican coconut dulce with ice cream on the side. We had two rounds of the Margo (passion fruit margarita), so delicious! Would definitely add to the list of restaurants we return to! read more

I came to Bokagua on Riverdale Ave around 10 PM for cocktails after dinner at Tobalá and had a great experience. The service was consistent, the drinks were delicious, and the music was really fun. The atmosphere was lively, which is something I wish more places in the area had. If you're looking for good music and well crafted drinks, this is definitely a spot to check out. I've also had their food before, and the flavors were on point. read more

Bokaguá Restaurant is a fusion of Dominican & Asian Cuisine. It's absolutely beautiful with its dim lighting, hanging ceiling florals & vines, tasteful glass & hanging lighting, wall decor & fusion of Chill House/Club & Bomba-like/Caribbean music. The place is romantic, welcoming & friendly. The food & presentation are creative delicious & has a creaminess to everything. The coconut cod croquettes were so good, presented on their Japanese plate on a bed of stones. I only wish they would have been bigger. The Lobster Fried Rice was creamy & perfectly cooked with a creamy bisque that was poured over it & good size chunks of lobster. The Duck Confit stuffed Tortelloni was just as creamy & the Dulce de Leche dessert was decadent & the cold ice cream & warm cake complimented each other. The suggested cocktail was smooth & not too sweet. This dining experience was definitely pleasing to the soul with every bite. Bokaguá translates into Mouth Watering; this is definitely true! read more

My friend and I came here for dinner since it has been on her list for a while. The place itself is super vibe-y the decor is beautiful and seems like such a great dinner spot for a date or for a girl's night out. The staff was super friendly and gave us good recommendations for drinks and food. We decided to get a variety of items to share. -The virgin Pina Colada was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend getting it either with alcohol or without. -Spicy Tuna Tartare Montadito: This was so good, the hashbrown went surprisingly well with everything. Highly recommend this. -Lobster Fried Rice: This was just alright, not that special and there was not that many pieces of lobster in there. -Vegan Eggplant dip: This was pretty interesting and unique. The flavors all went very well together Overall - the food was pretty good in this place, I would have loved to try some of their other dishes. A little on the price-y side but I think it's a solid place for dinner. read more

We visited this place to celebrate my birthday, nestled on a cozy block in Riverdale where parking was conveniently manageable. Upon entering, we loved the ambiance, which gave a modern Tulum vibe. As we looked at the menu, the waiter came over and the first thing he informed us was that we had only 60 to 90 minutes due to the busy evening, which was quite off-putting. No one appreciates being rushed, especially without considering how many drinks or how much food we might order. We started with drinks, opting for the La Morga and Forrest Fire--both were good choices. For appetizers, we were torn between the Korean fried wings and the oxtail samosas. After reading some reviews, we decided on the Korean fried chicken wings, and we were pleased with our choice--they were crispy and well-seasoned. For the main course, we ordered the braised short ribs with coconut rice, as it came highly recommended in most reviews. Unfortunately, we only received one order initially and had to wait nearly 10 minutes for the second, followed by an additional 5 minutes for the rice. Nonetheless, the food was delicious. The plantain puree was flavorful, the ribs were tender and well-seasoned, and the rice, though in a very small portion, was quite good despite the $7 price tag. Towards the end of our night despite feeling rushed, we noticed several empty seats, which made the waiter's premature comment even more frustrating. Overall, the experience was good, although the service could use some improvement, as we only saw the waiter a couple of times. The inclusion of the tip might explain the lack of attentiveness. read more

Bokaguá - Jjajang Braised Shortrib - Asian Fusion Near Me - Bronx, New York

A long overdue review. Have frequent the establishment post opening on several occasions. The restaurant is cozy and well designed. The service is attentive, menu interesting and tasty and leaves you curious for wanting to try other if not all options. Good for brunch and or dinner. Cocktails are on the pricey side upwards of $20 per drink, but worth the price tag. Notable mentions from the brunch cocktails include the shiro sangria and fly high butterfly. read more

Where do I even start? I totally see the concept they were going for, but the execution? Confusing at best. Let's break it down: Service: Pleasant overall. Staff was polite and friendly, but explanations about the menu felt like filler fluff -- not very informative. I left with more questions than answers. Ambience: Now THIS is where they shine. The place is absolutely gorgeous -- warm, cute, extra in all the right ways. Definitely Insta-worthy. That said, the music was a bit too loud for a dinner spot. Still not sure if they're going for lounge vibes or an actual sit-down dining experience. Food: Honestly? Straight-up disappointing. I ordered the salmon ceviche -- it came out cooked in a vinaigrette that might as well have been straight oil. The tostones? Drier than my ex's promises. The fusion concept felt more chaotic than creative -- Korean BBQ wings next to Dominican-Chinese dumplings and sake that tasted like it was made with Haitian Cleren. Asia is a whole continent, and it felt like they just threw stuff together without a real story behind it. Bottom line: Come for the aesthetic, maybe for a drink -- but don't expect the food to match the vibe. Definitely not rushing back. read more

From the moment I walked into BOKAGUÁ, I knew I was in for something special. The ambiance is vibrant yet relaxed, with a perfect mix of modern style and cultural charm. What truly blew me away was the food every dish was bursting with flavor and creativity. Their Asian-Dominican fusion is something I've never experienced before, and it works so beautifully. I ordered a variety of dishes to try a little of everything, and I can honestly say there wasn't a single item I didn't love. The flavors were bold and balanced, and the presentation was stunning. The service was warm, friendly, and attentive. You can tell the staff takes pride in the food and the overall experience. It's the kind of place you want to stay awhile great energy, and even better food and drinks. If you're looking for something unique, flavorful, and full of heart, BOKAGUÁ is it. I'll definitely be coming back with friends. 10/10 recommend! read more

The ambiance and decor was nice. However, was extremely disappointed with the service at this restaurant. We had reservations, once we were seated 15 minutes pasted to be acknowledged for even water / drinks. Our server was incredibly inattentive, rude and disrespectful--we had to ask another staff member to get our check. The food was decent, but it's hard to enjoy it when you feel forgotten and feel like a bothered to the server. Management needs to address the staffing issues here. read more

We went for the first time to celebrate a friend's birthday. We had a variety of small plates. The mofongo dumplings, spicy tuna tartar and the carribean oxtail samosa were all delicious. For large plates we had jjang braised short ribs with the lobster fried rice and those two where by far the best. The sauce for the lobster rice topped it off. I recommend making reservations because the place is small but the ambiance is great. The decorand the lighting gives it an upscale look with music in the background not to loud allowing people to hear each other. The service was great however they kept reminding us we only had a two hour windows for dinner read more

This is the best upscale Dominican-Asian fusion restaurant in New York City hands down. The service is not pushy at all, contrary to previous reviews. The decor is a work of art from the tasteful paintings and flower arrangements to the head sculpture when you walk in. The cocktails are expertly crafted in artistic glasses with standouts including La Margo and Final Fantasy. The oxtail samosas are the best samosas I've ever had. The mofongo dumplings come with flavorful pork belly. The Korean chicken wings are paired perfectly with a zesty avocado dip. The crispy octopus is expertly paired with a chorizo purée and the soft short ribs are braised in a tropical plantain purée paired with a star fruit slaw. The dulce de coco enyucao with fresh passion fruit caramel poured tableside was an unforgettable grand finale. read more

This Dominican spot is perfect for a date night or a fun girls' night out. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming--definitely great vibes all around (10/10)! I absolutely loved the La Margo--delicious and full of flavor. The lemongrass shrimp dumplings were a standout, fresh and perfectly seasoned--10/10. The short ribs on plantain purée were rich, tender, and comforting--another 10/10. Great food, fantastic vibes, and the kind of place you want to keep coming back to! Highly recommend. read more

Service: immediate upon arrival, ckean straight to the point, Food: i combined my appetizer with my dinner, came out at the same time. Oxtail Patelitos on point, not too salty or oily, breading of Patelitos had just right crunch. Looks small but stomach was content and shareable. Octopus was fair to good, most of it had a nice charbroil taste with flavor, some part (minimal) was soft octopus skin, not a fan. Octopus itself fully cooked correct.

This place is really pretty, cozy, and intimate. While it's a bit tight, it has a total vibe. It's great for a girls' night out, date night, or simply enjoying good food and interesting cocktails in a lively atmosphere. The service was excellent; our server checked in with us from time to time to ensure everything was good. The food was served promptly, and the drinks were great. I really liked the food, although I felt the grilled octopus was a bit overly salted. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. The dessert was very tasty, and I loved that it was served in a Greca. I would highly recommend this place! read more

My friend and I were impressed at first by the decor. Then it was downhill. My friend's drink came right away but I waited 20 minutes for my drink after asking three times I stood up and then the drink came. We had a wobbling table. Another wait until the male manager and the male waiter assigned a woman to get on the floor to fix the problem. My glass water glass was chipped. Another wait. The menu was interesting but the food did not live up to the description or the price. Unfortunate. read more

My friend & I stopped by Saturday night and overall we had a great experience. We had a reservation for 8PM and were seated quickly. Upon being seated we were told that the table would have a 90 minute limit due to reservations. Calvin was helping us and he was truly amazing! He provided the best service and even gave us wonderful drink suggestions (lychee martini with coconut cream). To start, I had the La Margo, and my friend had the Martini in Boka. Both cocktails were great! The Margo was on the sweeter side but perfectly balanced. For food, we ordered the mofongo dumplings, lobster fried rice, and short rib. The mofongo dumplings were good, especially when paired with the sauces on the plate. The lobster fried rice was delicious, with plantain strips adding a great touch. The short rib was a standout--the meat was incredibly tender, and the sweet plantain puree complemented it beautifully. For dessert, we tried the dulce de coco enyucao. It wasn't my favorite, as it mostly tasted like roasted coconut, but the ice cream and passionfruit caramel were highlights. I would definitely return to Bokagua! The drinks were fantastic, and the food was unique and delicious. The only drawbacks were the dessert and feeling a bit rushed at the beginning and end of the meal, though I understand they are a new restaurant with many reservations. We spent $217 (excluding tip) for four dishes and six cocktails, which is reasonable given the scale of the restaurant. Overall, Bokagua is gorgeous, offers excellent service, and is definitely worth a visit! read more

Came here for a quick dinner yesterday and I will DEF be coming back. The vibe of this place is soooo cute, feels like I'm in Miami and not Riverdale lol. The food and drinks were BOMB and service attentive all night. I know they just opened and have a few kinks to iron out so the small things like needing to ask for more water is not worth taking off a star. We did have a small issue with one of our dishes and they immediately comped some of our meal. That is how you handle things correctly. Stand outs were definitely the mofongo dumplings and oxtail samosas. I could go swimming in that yogurt sauce. Also the La Margo drink tastes like a chinola morir soñando, a must try! read more

My best friend and I were throughly impressed when we first walked in. The decor, the lighting, and the vibes were great. We loved the bar set up, and the plants hanging from the ceiling. We went on a Friday night and they had a DJ. We were approached three times to see if we were being helped, which was great. We waited maybe 3 minutes if not less because we asked to be sat in the back of the restaurant. We were closer to the kitchen; but it was open concept and so cool to get a glimpse of them cooking away. The food was amazing. We literally just sat and ate and just kept looking at each other in awe. Our only issue was that the longer we sat the louder the music was. By the end of the reservation we felt like we were yelling at each other, but understood because it's Friday night ! We had 90 mins which was also cool, we weren't rushed, nor felt rushed while we were there. Serve kept stopping by and whomever was the bust stuff we couldn't tell because everyone stopped by to take our plates. Side bar we also got the steak & it was delicious it was so good we didn't even snap a picture. read more

Saw this trending on TikTok and decided that I had to go finally, the day came and had the opportunity to go for my partner's birthday made reservation the same day and was seated in the "lounge area" which honestly is not a great area if you're going to dine it's more of a great section if you're going to literally lounge and have some cocktails and chitchat otherwise it's super uncomfortable to sit there to have a meal. They shouldn't even offer it as a dining option but nonetheless, I did not let that deter us from the experience. We love the ambience the music the staff was super professional and very warm and receiving the space is very small to note! Reservations are definitely encouraged as we went on a Saturday evening. The bar area was packed all the way round tables were filled. We were there for about three hours and it was in and out traffic the whole time which is great for business for them love the cocktails. I had a lychee martini which was phenomenally made my sister had One of their house cocktails, which she enjoyed as well and the Moscow Mule was perfectly crafted as well as for the menu it is pretty straight to the point. I also wouldn't suggest coming with a huge appetite as the plates are perfectly portioned! I would DEF encourage if you're going with a large group to get all of the apps so that way you have enough to try them all as for the main courses the suggestions a waiter gave us was great and enjoyed. It definitely would left filled but again if you have a large appetite or looking for a large plate, this is not the space for you to go to on that evening. Prices are steep included a pic of our bill for some context. Overall, on all, definitely enjoyed it would love to go back and sit at the bar and spend the evening just having some cocktails enjoying beyond beyond music and just overall great vibe in the Riverdale area check it out !
