My party was watching like hawks for a spot though so this wasn't an issue. Just don't be a Karen and make the workers's lives more difficult and it'll be all good

The slices were very dry; the crust was dry and the cheese was dry (not gooey at all) even though the slices were fresh out of the oven. *Burrata Slice: Very simple. A cheese slice topped with a scoop of burrata. Decent, but not memorable. I would skip this in the future. *Fig Jam & Bacon Slice: My favorite of the two slices I tried. The combination of fig jam and salty bacon was unique and worked really well together. *Pistachio Soft Serve: Very nutty in the first few bites before mellowing into a smooth, creamy soft serve, lacking in flavor other than from the overpowering salt flakes sprinkled on top. It's a good option if you like soft serve that's very creamy and not sweet, but I would recommend skipping the salt. It was basically the only thing I could taste. *Carrot Cake: Decent. It was very fresh, but a bit flavorless. The service was the standout. For a place that is so viral and consistently busy, everyone was incredibly friendly and patient, especially the woman working the register. I visited around 11 a.m. on a weekday, and the line was either nonexistent or very short during the 45 minutes I was there. There are several standing areas in the small restaurant where you can eat.

Realllyyyyyy gooood!!! Different style slice than the regular NYC style. I really enjoyed the…read morethickness, crispness, and unique flavors!! Both pizza slices were fire. The angry nonna pepperoni and hot honey. The Bufalina had blue cheese and chicken, it was really good but I'm not a huge fan of blue cheese. Not many seats inside, we stood and eat. The service was fairly quick and kind. We ordered: Angry Nonna 5/5 Bufalina 4/5 (I'm not a fan of blue cheese) Overall, I highly recommend trying their pizzas out. Especially if you love a thick slice. I was full off one slice of pizza. The pizza was around $7 per slice, but like I said, one slice is enough so I feel it was worth the price. I'll definitely come back!!!

We ordered pizzas and boy, they were good. Not sure if this is Detroit style, but it is pan pizza. Tasty! Overall a good cut of pie!

Golden Diner is a perfect example of why some restaurants become New York institutions. Blending…read morethe nostalgia of a classic American diner with Korean and Japanese influences, it's easy to see why this small Chinatown spot has earned such a loyal following. Reservation is highly recommended. After stalking their website a month out for a reservation for six, with no luck. I was able to email the restaurant and got a 4 pm reservation. Despite the steady crowd, the service was warm, efficient, and welcoming. As for the food, everything we ordered was excellent. The famous Honey Butter Pancakes absolutely deserve their reputation. It's light, fluffy, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. The Korean wings were crispy with just the right amount of heat and sweetness. The katsu chicken sandwich was crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and incredibly satisfying. Even the tuna melt, a diner classic, was perfectly toasted. Golden Diner proves that comfort food can still surprise you. Great service, an electric atmosphere, and a menu that honors diner traditions while adding its own unique personality. It's easy to understand why people are willing to wait for a table, and it's definitely a place we'll return to on our next visit to New York.

I was seated at the counter, and it was fun watching the cooks prepping dishes. The food here is rich and filling. I highly recommend sharing. *Honey Butter Pancake (with berry compote on the side): This is one of the most decadent sweet dishes I've had. The pancake was incredibly fluffy and moist, soaking up the syrup perfectly. The syrup had a rich honey butter flavor with a hint of saltiness (perfect for a pancake!). This is one of the few things I've eaten that definitely lived up to the hype. *Chinatown Egg & Cheese Sando (with sausage): A very solid breakfast sandwich. The highlight was the sesame scallion milk bun, which was nice and soft, with a subtle sweetness. The sandwich was very filling. Service was fine. The food took a little while to come out. The ambiance is a fun throwback to an old-school New York diner. It's a small space.

The mapo tofu, green beans, twice cooked pork, and spicy (lazi) chicken were very flavorful. I thought the mala levels were just right, but it may be on a bit on the lighter side compared to authentic. The lamb spine came in a delicious broth, but it was a bit hard eating the lamb from the bone for not a lot of meat. The house steamed fish was also amazing. They don't take online reservations for groups over 5, so we called to make one for our group of 6. It was pretty busy Friday night, so would recommend. The service was great; they drew the cutest card when they found out it was my brother's birthday and let us bring a cake. And they also offered hair ties to the people with long hair. You order through an iPad which has a beautiful menu.
