The bartender was spectacular! Kept good conversation going with all of us at the bar, but not too much that you can't enjoy your time. (I was solo dining for context). For the food, a lot of it was very yummy, but I do think I was missing something with each dish. Whether it was salt, more umami, or just spice. The methods of everything being made was executed well, it just could have been better in overall flavor which is why I gave it 3 stars. On top of the bartender having a great personality & service, the cocktails were equally delicious. Now the flavor is absolutely in the bar so although I may not come back for all of the food, I would willingly try more dishes and eagerly order a drink!

Being a Puerto Rican living in NY for the past 10 years, ramen has become one of my favorite food…read more I've been looking for a place to satisfy my craving while in PR, but I haven't found the right one yet. The place is small but cute inside. The staff is very attentive and friendly. If you like sake, we had a very unique and delicious sake bottle called the Moonstone. Is unfiltered sake with a coconut lemongrass flavor. We tasted the sake flight and that one was the winner flavor. As appetizer we had the pan fried mixed dumplings, veggie and pork. Both good. I had the Tonkotsu Ramen which was decent but not as tasty as I would like it to be. The broth wasn't rich enough. The meat and noodles were great. The amount was plentiful. It fulfilled its purpose. We finished our meal in a sweet note with two scoops of ice cream, sesame and caramel flavors. They were creamy, really good.

The restaurant has a darker aesthetic, but it feels cozy, comfortable, and welcoming. The atmosphere was great, and everyone was friendly. The ramen was outstanding. The noodles were perfectly tender, and the broth was rich and full of flavor. I also tried the sake bomb, and even though I'm not usually a big fan of alcohol, it paired surprisingly well with the ramen. The sushi was incredible too. Honestly, I wish the portions were bigger because I could have happily made a whole meal out of just the sushi!

We came as a group of 6, and upon entering, it took more than 20 minutes for us to be acknowledged. Bummer. I will say that this place is not suitable for large groups. We were seated at a large coffee table in the far back, right next to the restroom. As mentioned earlier, the food is great, but it took more than 40 minutes for our food to arrive. Tonkotsu is better than the Tantanmen. Black Lagoon is better than the Smoked & Mango. It's very expensive for what it is, but I'm sure it's because of the location and the hype of this place. Overall, the lights and decor are really cool, good food, but definitely don't see myself recommending this place to anyone!

My parents had eaten here before and said it was really good, so we were excited to see if it lived up to the hype. The restaurant had a lively, bustling atmosphere, with a steady stream of customers dining in and picking up takeout orders. Even though it was busy, the staff kept things moving efficiently. Even for a large order, the wait was only about 30 minutes. They have a separate pickup area for to-go orders, which made the process organized and easy despite how busy they were. We ordered the beef fried rice, house fried rice, churrasco steak, house lo mein, sesame beef, jumbo shrimp, chicken wings, fried pork, pork ramen, and three sushi rolls. The kids in our family chose the Philly Roll, Salmon Avocado Roll, and Red Dragon Roll, and they really enjoyed them. I had originally planned to order a different sushi roll from the menu, but it wasn't available that day. It wasn't a big deal, though, because the rolls we did get were fresh and delicious. Everything was flavorful and well prepared. The churrasco steak was my personal favorite--the meat was incredibly tender and already well seasoned on its own. My husband wasn't a fan of the accompanying sauce, but he agreed the steak itself was excellent. We also really enjoyed the fried rice, and the portions were generous. They were also generous with the condiments and included a variety of sauces with our order, which we appreciated. The only thing we missed was chili oil, since it's a condiment we usually expect to have available at Chinese restaurants. If you're staying nearby or looking for a restaurant that offers both Chinese and Japanese cuisine, Tayzan is definitely worth checking out. Just be prepared for a crowd--it seems to be popular for a reason!

The base was delicious, I wish they had accomplished the spicyness through a vehicle/mechanism other than red pepper flakes. That said it delivered on flavor. It included thinlysliced fish cakes, corn, chopped green onions and an egg. The soup was temperature hot, the noodles were wonderfully chewy. The menu options were plentiful, including sushi. They were not overrun, five tables were occupied. The dishes that were passing by, look very appetizing. They seem to do a brisk takeout business, which. Give them a try, we certainly plan on patronizing them again.

Its a fine dining restaurant so the restaurant is really upscale but they also made the restaurant a bit cozy at the same time. The service was amazing as well.

The food was some of the most delicious food ive ever tasted, especially the risotto (10/10). There was one dish that my girlfriend didnt like but they went immediately to get her something new. Im only giving a 4 star because the dessert i had did have something I was allergic to despite reassurance which cause swollen lips and throwing up outside. Im not sure if the dessert was pre-made but having the allergens directly on the menu may help. Otherwise I completely recommend trying here.

At the Noodle Merchant, I tried their chicken wings and dumplings. The wings were fried nicely but I didn't like the filling inside of the dumplings. It tasted too mushy for my liking. At Himalaya's, I had their seafood hot pot. All of the seafood was not fresh, but that may be because of the hurricane. I didn't like how the hot pot was just full of sauce. If it were some kind of broth (like it's supposed to be) I would have enjoyed it more. But the "hot pot" ($22) was more like a giant stir fry swimming in soy sauce mixture. I did like the presentation though and the rice was nice. I'm glad there's an Asian stall but seeing them boil ramen packages like I do at home and then charge $15 is not what I call good eats. Again, not sure what's normal and what's changed due to the hurricane. I would like to come back and give it another shot.
