When I walked in, there seemed to be just one person trying to care of things, so the wait was a bit longer than ideal. However, a second server eventually appeared. They do have awesome happy hour deals which include drinks and food from Monday through Friday, 11am to 7pm. Overall, it has a good spot to grab a beer, sip a cocktail, and snack on some small bites. I tried the Grilled Chicken Sandwich, and the chicken was juicy. I also like all the peppers and the flavorfulness of the aioli.

As much as a burger and a pub lineup well, for some reason, I went with the crowd fish. The fish was more of a prefab fish rather than something appearing fresh caught. The coleslaw was good, but you got such a small amount that it almost seemed not worth it. The french fries were good, they're on the soggy side, but I know some people like that. May have given an extra star if it wasn't for the hair I found in the fish. Bummer!

Best Momos around!…read more If the title doesn't tell you everything, this review will. I found out about this place months ago and it was finally time to give it a try. My spouse and I are always down to find good momos, and this being close by and Tibetan cuisine, it was definitely a must. Ambience: It seats a decent crowd. It has nice Tibetan artwork and you feel the warmth from the owners. It's cozy and it felt great. Service: Top notch. I don't say this lightly. The server sat us down and was just so joyful. Her smile and demeanor made you feel welcomed. Brought us water and asked the usual and offered to explain any dishes. Now we are onto the good -- might I say great -- part. THE FOOD. We didn't order momos on our first visit. Food: My wife got the Himalayan Rice set (chicken) and I got the Rildok. We also got the Shabhaley -- from the description I thought it was literal meat. The Shabhaley, to put it, looks like an empanada. It was far from it in the best possible way. The pastry was crisp but soft and the beef filling was divine! Seasoned with so much flavor and it was paired with a beautiful sauce. The Rildok was exquisite. In my opinion -- I even told one of the servers, whom I now know is one of the owners, that the flavor profile reminded me of a cheeseburger, and it's my favorite new dish. The Himalayan Rice set was awesome. The chicken was tender and flavorful. The tingmo (like a bread) was soft and delicious, paired well with the chicken. The dal reminded me of my own homeland's dal. We've now been back here multiple times. My goal is to try the entire menu. The vegetable khoty momo was surprisingly my favorite, and I'm someone who loves meat. I've now had all the flavors and preparations of the momos, and you can't go wrong! This place is a gem. Their quality of food is top notch, and their actual aunties are in the back making this with so much love. I want everyone to try it. The owner and his staff are amazing and welcoming. They remembered me from my second visit, and that speaks volumes. They're all down to earth and it shows. The passion they have for their food and their kindness shines through. Parking: Can be rough depending on time of day.

The momos took a while but the curry was out quickly. Both were so flavorful! The sauce that came with the kothey momo cut perfectly through the mild chicken filling. The momo was soft but had a crisp bottom which melted in your mouth. The curry was creamy and had a hint of spiciness without setting your tongue on fire. All in all solid food!

My bacon egg and cheese had no seasoning or taste whatsoever, it felt like I was just eating texture.

I cannot say I was expecting the food to be this damn good out of a seemingly random Mexican place…read morethat just happened to be near where we were. I hadn't seen Tacos Gobernador on any Mexican restaurant menu before. These are sinaloan-style tacos, stuffed with the fresh shrimp abundant in the region. This is the second time I'm saying this in the first four sentences, but these were amazing. First of all - they were huge! Way larger than normal tacos, these tortillas stretch across the plate. The outsides are perfectly crisped up - these are kind of a mix between a soft & hard shell taco, but incorporating the best of both worlds. The amount of oil used in the grilling is perfect. What really makes these though, is the fillings. The shrimp is unbelievable - first of all, its the largest shrimp I've ever seen inside a taco. I mentioned how large these tacos are, but the shrimp bursts out of the top like a xenomorph out of a chest; there's little containment to be had here. These shrimp are seasoned astoundingly, turning practically a dark red from the spices used. Oh yeah, and the juiciness is just perfect. They are so well cooked. The other outstanding part is the cheese. The Oaxacan cheese is special - it's some of the best cheese I've ever had on a taco. Hot, soft, and stretchy with a perfect level of melting, it adds a crazy amount of flavor to each bite. The other toppings are solid, but some more onions would've helped I think. Also, the dipping sauce used is around average, and unnecessary. This was kind of expensive for 3 tacos - coming in at $25 before tax and tip. It was a ton of food though. Overall, a new variation of taco I think I'm absolutely in love with. 9.25/10

It can be a little confusing to find since it's a stand inside the market, not a separate store front. They carry a pretty wide variety of Asian flavor-inspired breads, pastries, cakes and cookies, including buns and some more dessert-type items. I checked out Progreso for an event this past weekend and ended up buying a few items to go: - matcha marble sponge cake $4.49: was fluffy, light and moist, good flavor of matcha and a light schmear of whipped cream in the middle. Would get this again! - taro cream puff $6.50: this was taro paste (? not sure if that's fully accurate though it felt more consistency of soft whipped taro than a traditional pastry cream) with whipped cream on top sandwiched by what I believe was choux pastry with craquelin. I think maybe because the this was sitting chilled/refrigerated for a while the top craquelin layer wasn't quite crispy anymore, though it looked nice. Personally it was a bit too much regular whipped cream, would've preferred more of a taro pastry cream. - mango pudding with fresh mango $6.50 mango flavor in the pudding was light though it was a nice tease of flavor. The texture was on the firmer side for puddings. The mangos were a bit oxidized though tasted ok, maybe glaze them or do something to maintain the color? Since this is a pretty new spot hope they could make a few improvements and blow it out of the park! I appreciated the owners' enthusiasm for sharing about their shop.

The staff are all very kind. I interacted with 3 employees and they were all kind and helpful. I ordered the breakfast burrito and it was very good. Some of the ingredients were not evenly distributed so I tasted some things only at the beginning or the end of my burrito, but you could tell it was prepared to order and overall a good choice. The Afghan pink iced chai was good but very floral. It was nice but I probably wouldn't have ordered it if I knew how floral it was. I would come back and try other items on their menu. Their matcha looked promising and coffee in New York is unmatched, so I would try their cold brew or espresso based drinks. Great spot in the area!

They offer both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks like coffee, tea, and fruity refreshments along with food options. I ordered the spicy seafood pasta, but unfortunately, it wasn't spicy at all.

"WOW..... Owners who GET IT...And I mean REALLY GET IT" 5 of 5 stars A friend of mine who lives in the area suggested we go here for brunch on April 6th. The place was packed and NOW I know why. Both OWNERS get what it means to be in the restaurant business. The customer service was, what other restaurants should learn from these guys. From the time we walked in I felt as if they were waiting for us to just show up. They knew who was first in line and who was to be seated next. I noticed that people were even greeted by name. What the both owners did is what got my attention!! They touched ever table ( if you don't know what that means, go here and you will find out for yourself.) They even bused tables and wiped them down, it was not beneath them and they even help out by cleaning up a spill on the floor and they were not done cleaning the floor until it was dry. They took the 2 min test to the next level. They made time for small talk with just about table and everyone in the place....WOW. This is not some fine dining place or the Four Seasons as they wouldn't even come close to what these guys do or did. I hope you guys find time to read this or someone tells you about this review because this is a place that should give lessons to other restaurants/owners and staff on how to treat people (your customers). it is called Personal Touch. JOB WELL DONE GUYS... oh and the food?? it was AWESOME too. THANKS for a great EXPERIENCE. I WILL BE BACK... oh ya...

Luka is a hidden gem in the world of diners. From the moment I walked in, I was charmed by its cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The vintage decor, complete with retro booths and checkered floors, transported me to a bygone era of classic American diners. I started my meal with a hot cup of coffee, which was the perfect companion to peruse their extensive menu. The options were plentiful, but I decided on the classic breakfast special. The fluffy pancakes were a delight, and the bacon was cooked to crispy perfection. Their homemade hash browns were a standout - golden and crispy on the outside, yet tender on the inside. What truly impressed me at Luka was the friendly and attentive service. The staff treated every customer like a regular, and their warm smiles added to the overall experience. Whether you're looking for a hearty breakfast, a satisfying burger, or a slice of homemade pie, Luka has it all. It's the kind of place where you can enjoy a delicious meal and relish the nostalgic ambiance. Luka is a must-visit for anyone seeking a taste of classic Americana and genuine diner hospitality. read more

Cafe Luka never disappoints when I'm back in the city! I took my wife and kids for lunch yesterday and had a great experience! My 8 year old boy is always a nightmare when we go out, but not this time!!! The service was so quick and the food was so good, he behaved the best I could ever remember. One of the owners even brought him and his little sister a black and white cookie to share since they left their plates clean. He enjoyed it so much we even went back later that night! My wife and I didn't mind since there were so many things on the menu we wanted to try. The prices were competitive with other places in the area and I thought it was really clean. Too bad we were only staying in the city that night, but we'll be back next time! read more
