    Lychee martini and the extra in a small shot glass.
    Monique M.

    I was greeted at the door which I appreciate and seated right away. Service was great and attentive during lunch time. Food was good (I had pineapple fried rice and sushi) and my lychee Martini was strong as well. Ambiance was cool. A few people sat by the bar and another small group of 3 was nearby. I like places where I can enjoy a meal by myself and read or listen to podcasts.

    MOCA Nut  A Grown folks drink !

    MOCA is an Asian Fusion Bistro I call it the " New Hyped up Chinese Food " (There are several of these restaurants look on their site for updates ) it's very good and the restaurant has great ambience! You are NOT getting the old classics here lol! Some of my favorites starting with the MOCA Nut alcoholic beverage very delicious! Next for appetizers it's the Thai Crab cake for Rocky and I'll have the Beef Baby short ribs, sometimes I just have drinks and appetizers! Main courses Sangria crispy duck, an order of pineapple fried rice or Rock shrimp Tempura. These are our faves but they have an extensive selection including Sushi! Delicious desserts too ! Free On site parking, good service Enjoy!

    Upon arrival the hostess was on the phone and we had to wait for a formal greeting until they both completed their phone call. But, The ambiance was very relaxing and the staff were friendly. As for the food I will say everything we ordered was very fresh and was flavorful. I would definitely return and try another amazing fish.

    Volcano sushi and Golden Dragon sushi

    Sushi was delicious! We had the volcano along with several classics: California, Boston and shrimp tempura. All were fantastic. The waitress was helpful but could have been more involved. Overall the restaurant was private with several divisions and booths but it was mostly empty at the time we were there. Overall it was pricy but we left content and satisfied.

    I have been to the MoCA Asian bistro in Woodbury, the whole staff is very attentive. So I was in hewlett and thought we would try the hewlett MoCA, the waiter was on his phone the whole time he was waiting on on. He never took our menus, or offer us more water, he was more concerned what was on his phone, as we where leaving the hostess we notice was on her phone as well. Get off your phones and work. This is a lovely place, but the people that work there have different priorities.

    Duck Tortilla (5pcs) Vegetable Tempura
    D C.

    I went to MoCA for first time and had dinner there with my sister. I was disappointed not to see a bento box option for dinner. Since I wanted to try a sampling of dishes I ordered 5 appetizers. The portion sizes varied with the short ribs and pork spare ribs having most to eat with duck tortilla being the smallest. Vegetable tempura was fried to perfection but lacked flavor. It needed some salt and the dipping sauce was not enough to save it. They did not have jasmine tea only green tea and I enjoyed my unsweetened iced tea. The food came in three intervals with our plates changed each time which was great. However I think they were short staffed with only one served working 10 tables so he only came when the food came and refilled my iced tea once. It was nice not to be rushed but the lag between the dishes left us eating more of the earlier dishes with little room for the last two dishes. The grilled chicken satay was dry and only the fish and beef satay tasting better. Tempura veggies you only get one of each veggie and the duck tortilla I felt the avocado and hoisin sauce overpowered the duck. The peanut sauce for the satay was runny and the best dish of the night was the beef short ribs. The pork spare ribs were tender and came off the bone nicely but the sweet and sour sauce tasted like America bbq sauce. My mom makes Chinese bbq spare ribs better than the restaurant. Ambience was nice but tables and booths are close to each other so it can get loud. It was a fun experience but I would like to try lunch next time.

    Indian Pan Cake

    Ambiance was above average, above chain restaurant but below fine dining. Hostess was in the front but walk out from the back about 2 minutes later. She immediately took another group without asking who was here first. I didn't make a stink about it but I was a little annoyed. Food was decent, and packed some flavor. Server was bland and not too engaged in her job. Upon finishing, I asked for dessert menu. I looked it over, didn't like any choices. I may have said something about wanted crème brûlée and suddenly she says "oh we have crème brûlée" but it isn't on the menu. All in all, solid place to visit on the weekday.

    It's very clean, and smells clean, (not sure about the bathroom didn't go in there) they have great Jazz music playing! It's a good atmosphere. Lots of parking, I had no trouble getting parking. Two of my friends left food on their plates, I and the other two didn't leave anything safe to say the food is pretty good. I had the Avocado salad I enjoyed the dressing they put on it, could have gone for more lettuce though. I also had green tea, I love that they bring you the whole tea pot and not just a cup of tea, it's so annoying to have to wait for hot water. They get a 3 star because they had a cook/chef walking through the dining room wheeling trash..... that is not comforting... I don't want to see anyone who handles my food taking out the trash while I'm eating.... They need a busser or something to handle that, not someone who is cooking the food. Also, their staff isn't super friendly, y'all know I'm big on service. Now that I went to a Korean BBQ spot that had AMAZING service they've raised the bar for other food spots.

    Foundry Tavern in Hicksville was a HUGE surprise for me. I knew the place had been completely…read morerenovated, but I honestly wasn't expecting the food to be as good as it was. First off, the inside is beautiful. They did an incredible job with the renovation, and I loved all the little details, especially the custom 300-pound manhole covers they're using as tables around the bar. Even better, everyone working there was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Now the food! We started with the Baked Clams, and these were legit. You could've served them to me at an Italian restaurant and I wouldn't have questioned it. The Nonna's Ribs were probably one of the biggest surprises--slow-braised pork ribs with cherry peppers and finished on the grill. Fall-off-the-bone tender, tons of flavor, and I loved that they weren't just drenched in BBQ sauce. The Firebird crispy chicken sandwich was fantastic, and the Steakhouse Sandwich with sliced NY strip, mushrooms, provolone, crispy onions and horseradish aioli was also very well done. But that Manhole Burger deserves some special attention. Beef, American cheese, caramelized onions and dijonnaise on brioche. Simple combination, executed REALLY well. This was an outstanding burger and absolutely something I'd order again. And I can't leave out the fries. They're hand-cut in house, super thin and crispy, and exactly how I like my fries. Think that addictive thin fast-food style, except made fresh and much better quality. If you remember this location from its previous ownership, give it another shot. This is a completely different experience. Beautiful restaurant, genuinely friendly staff and food that exceeded my expectations. Foundry Tavern is a Hicksville hidden gem that deserves more attention--especially for lunch. I'll definitely be back.

    Went to the Foundry Friday night…read more Off path location and not great parking. We had no reservations so we ended up sitting in the outside area. Cute little spot. Heard the guy next to us order a French dip and the waiter said great, we have only 2 left. So when he came to us I ordered and he said great timing it's the last one. Took 45 minutes to get our strawberry salad which was delicious. Another 3o minutes go by (and the guy next to me who ordered the other French dip had already finished and left) So the strawberry waiter, after more than 1.15hr walk over and says "hey, we ran out of the French so I ordered you the steak sandwich. Huh? 1 hour and fifteen min later you ran out and the other guy already ate and left? I said great, but I'm not paying for it. 10 min later the owner came out. He could not have been a friendlier, responsible and all around nice person. It wasn't that he not only covered my meal but the table but it was the way he handled it. Owning a restaurant is not easy and problems happen. Food - 8/10 Prices 9/10 Place 8/10 I would not only recommend this place but they have absolutely earned my business. I obviously can't give a 5 because of the incident but I will change this to a 5 when I go back and get the service I have a feeling I'll receive. This owner deserves the business because he knows how to run a business. Money follows the people not the other way around.

We were having a great time until a couple of women came in who seemed to know the male bartender. I went to use the bathroom, and within less than two minutes someone started knocking impatiently. I immediately said it was occupied, but a few minutes later she began banging on the door while I was still inside. I understand waiting for a bathroom can be frustrating, but there was another bathroom downstairs, and the way she handled it felt extremely rude and disrespectful. She continued waiting right outside the door until I came out, which made the whole interaction uncomfortable. Regardless of whether she knew the bartender or not, guests should be treated with the same respect and the space should feel welcoming for everyone. Even my boyfriend felt uncomfortable with how the situation was handled. Unfortunately, because of this experience, we wouldn't come back. Hopefully the staff can work on creating a more inclusive and comfortable environment for all customers :(

The bi-level bar and lounge was dark, swanky, and seductive. It would make an excellent spot for dates or groups of friends, like mine. We started off sitting at the bar, as there were no large tables available upon our arrival. However, after about 15 minutes, the host approached to tell us that he could actually seat us. I picked up my glass, which was wet with condensation, and it slipped out of my hands. I was able to collect it with only a minor spill, but the host insisted that the bar staff make me a new cocktail in case the glass had chipped at all. It was a considerate gesture that I greatly appreciated. Plus, since I had already taken a few sips, I was thrilled to get those back in a new glass! In terms of my cocktail of choice, I had opted for the Hot Tijuana Tease, a fiery blend of mezcal, blanco tequila, chile poblano liqueur, and lime juice. So, it was essentially a spicy margarita, and it was excellent. There were clean, crisp notes of peppery heat balanced with layers of robust smoke. My only complaint about the lounge was that the bathrooms were beyond tiny. There were two unisex stalls in a very tight alcove that also included a cramped sink counter. It was awkward and uncomfortable to share that space with another patron. Aside from that, the Hide Rooftop was a beautiful place with a friendly staff and interesting drinks.
