Nora Thai on a calm relaxed Sunday night…read more Food: we had fried calamari, crispy spring rolls, chicken & shrimp fried dumplings, crispy half chicken, curry duck, pineapple fried rice, Leeche martini, Thai breeze, mai Thai, and Hendrix drinks! The food was great, cooked well, flavorful, and came out hot. Service: the waitress was very attentive, quick, and had a great memory. The bartender made our drinks strong and chilled perfectly. Ambiance: Nora Thai is a nice, intimate but good for groups, spacious and has a great vibe. The music was great with current and playing keeping everyone lively. My overall store is 4.8/5

Starting with the water, it was fairly gross (image included) to the point where I didn't want to drink it. The summer role I subbed with tofu and it was extremely dry. Would have been good to include something juicy to balance the noodles and tofu. The Hoison sauce also didn't pair well with the tofu. Got pad Thai and it was very mid. The tofu was soft to the point where I ended up picking it all out. My partner had pad se ew and it was similar to the point he didn't eat any of it at all and threw it out. The best part where it does get 2 stars is because of the mango sticky rice. It was phenomenal. Probably the best I've had so far in the city where the mango is perfectly sweet and the rice is moist.

After having visited them several times now I can say their food and drinks are very good. On my most recent stop there I had the Sweet & Spicy Chi-Bap with the Yuzu Lemonade drink. The meal was hot and very tasty. My drink was also flavorful and had a refreshing taste. Chris, who served me, was very friendly and made sure I was comfortable. I look forward to trying more items on their menu. One of the only downsides is that their seating area is very limited so be prepared to take your order to-go in case there's no room!

First off Chris was so nice and helpful over the phone. Huge plus as this was my first encounter…read morewith them. I was in the mood for wings and they have a variety. They have sweet & Spicy; garlic and spicy garlic; crispy etc. In addition to wings there are poppers, tenders and drums . Once I saw that they had spicy garlic I opted for that. Reminded me of Bon Chon. I got the 8 pcs wings (50/50) which is half garlic and half spicy garlic for $14.99 I was also intrigued by the kimchi bacon fried rice for $18.99 so I ordered that too. For a togo order the presentation was great. The wings have a branded tape band going across. The rice had a nice egg on top and in a big resuable container. No issues with the portion size. You'll definitely have leftovers. Overall I loved the wings. The spice was just right. Definitely a filling meal even if just 4 wings. The kimichi fried rice was plentiful but I feel like it had way more kimchi than bacon. I'd rather a balance of both or more bacon. I'd visit again. Lots of positive reviews and the wings were delish. Want to try other items from them.

so that was delicious. was so tired after a long and hot day and we decided on korean. just wow…read more the banchan was phenomenal. they had all my faves (kimchi obviously, radish, bean sprouts, fish cakes) and the scallion pancake was so delicious with its sauce. miso soup was an underdog. bibimbap, didn't eat it because i'm pescetarian but my girls loved it and loved the soy ginger wings just as much. i got the shrimp bokkeum and that was equally spicy and delicious. the udon being a little crispy changed me and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. flavour of everything 10/10

I had high expectations for Little Dokebi but honestly was slightly disappointed…read more I shared veggie fried mandu, Korean fried chicken in dokebi spicy flavor, and kalbi tacos. The chicken was underwhelming, and I was expecting saucy wings but it was a dry rub. Which is okay, but the flavor was still a little lackluster. The tacos and mandu were good, but fell short of my expectations and weren't anything special. I would like to come back and try new items, because they have a lot of things on their menu and maybe I should try something else.

My husband and I LOVE coming here! We had tickets to a midnight movie at Nitehawk, so we came here…read moreto eat dinner first. This was our third time coming here and definitely not our last. First of all, this place is consistently amazing. From the always pleasant employees to the delicious food. We have a fave spot in the corner that was open, but both servers recommended the balcony. We never sat there before and OMG it's such a cute and cozy spot! Almost felt like we were on vacay! And the FOOD!! The pics don't do the food enough justice. Chicken Karaage was possibly the best bite of chicken I've ever had! Crispy, flavorful, and comes with a fun aioli sauce. The chicken dumplings were cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious - and I'm not even a big dumpling fan! The star of the show though was the pork belly steam buns. The pork had a light char that made the edges perfectly crispy. It was rich and fatty (in the best way) and the marinated cabbage gave it a nice fresh kick. The Yuzu lime pie was a great way to end the dinner. It was tart and creamy, while the graham cracker crust gave it a nice crunch. Can't wait to come back and continue to eat our way through the menu!

I really like how cute the interior is, I pass by it all the time so glad I was finally able to…read morecheck it out. I came for brunch and was seated right away, the restaurant wasn't packed on the weekend. The food was hit or miss and it took awhile to come out too. I would not recommend the potatoes or eggs, the spice that was added was kinda weird. Even the ketchup didn't taste like regular ketchup. Service was friendly but compared to other nyc restaurants, its just average. Its not bad but if I'm spending $40+ on food, I want it to be above average. I do like that they have a vegan menu though, its hard to find a place that serves both vegans and non vegans. I would come back to try the vegan food

The kimchi ketchup added a unique subtle sweetness that sets this item apart. The eggs came well done, and the vegetables added a lovely crunch to each bite. The tater tots inside were some of the best I've had, and absolutely completed the burrito. It was also super easy to adjust to be vegetarian. I also loved the cheddar chive biscuit, it included delicious bits of cheese inside of the dough. My brother got the bowl which he also really enjoyed. The service was fantastic. The kitchen ended up being slammed and took a while to get our order, but the barista was so kind and communicative. Definitely worth the wait!

I have mixed reviews of this place. I ordered the Korean fried chicken in two flavors. It was…read moredisappointing to me as I felt it needed more seasoning and flavor. There was also no dipping sauce to help it out. I couldn't finish it because it was so bland. The fries I had was great and had a great dipping sauce that comes with it. I also loved the soju I ordered. The wait staff was also good. The look of that place it very underwhelming like a bunch of different kinds of tables through together in a space like a vintage book store.

I didn't love Breeze. It was so-so at best…read more The space is nice and the service is good. Staff was very attentive, but we were seated at this isolated table at the front of the restaurant where the waiters can't really access things like dishes to be cleared or water refills without awkward passing back and forth. There's also a round window right there - makes for a distracting fishbowl feel with people passing by on the street peeking in. Then, the food...it was ok. We ordered 10 things, at least, but here we are just a few weeks later and I cant remember a single one of them as a standout.

TLDR: Great Korean fried chicken shop in Greenpoint. Spicy crispy wings and definitely try a Korean…read morecorn dog. I was curious to try a few spots in Greenpoint and this was one of them. The chicken is fried fresh so you do need to wait a bit but who doesn't want their chicken made to order? I'm not a corn dog person at all but I did try the half/half with the potato coating. It was still hot from the fry and the cheese pull on the mozzarella half was very impressive. The beef hot dog half was also good as well. It's finished with powder sugar (as it's mean to be) and it all works pretty well together. Grabbed one for the wife and she was very happy with it. I ordered the crispy spicy wings and these were very enjoyable. There are not many Korean chicken shops that do this style. I prefer mine sauceless and the battery has a nice kick to it. The skin is crunchy and the chicken is juicy and VERY HOT. Brought some wings back home and air-fried them the next day, still very delicious. Definitely would check out again if I'm in the area.

Had my birthday dinner here a week ago and think this is a great place for big parties!…read more For groups of over 9, you do have to place a deposit in person (for me it was $30/person) that's applied to your total bill later. The restaurant staff was very accommodating of our group, including us adding 2 additional people to our group the day of. I believe there is a party room for large groups, but we were able to be seated at a large half booth/half table. Upon my arrival the staff took my cake and candles and stored it safely in the back. Drinks here were pretty good. I enjoyed a Spicy Mono (my favorite) and a Bora Bee (large and strong). Everyone else in my group enjoyed their espresso martinis, beers and various cocktails. We all shared a large amount of food, but I'll just mention what I got to try. Spicy Tuna: Good, to be expected Kani Salad: Really yummy and light Bluefin Tuna Tartare: Delicious but I wish it was larger Salmon Tapas: One of my favorites Crispy Rice Sushi: Good and a good amount of tuna Crab & Spinach Dip: Really good Scallop Truffle Canapés: If in remembering correctly, surprisingly good Sunset Boulevard: I would definitely order this again! Unique in a good way because of the soy wrapping. Dragon Roll: Yummy! Sea Urchin (Uni): This was my final thing I ate and I was the only person who ate it. It did it not taste fresh at all to me, and it was $38 for 3 small pieces. I'd recommend either not getting this, or getting it with rice as it was weird just by itself. I would say the food was pricey for the quality of sushi, but it is Williamsburg and for the kind of dinner we were having...it made sense we were paying for everything that came along with a birthday dinner. The place itself lends itself to groups aesthetic wise because they play fun music, have a cute light up hallway for photo ops and have ambient lighting. In addition to the, the staff was clearly accustomed to these kinds of parties, as they arranged and lit all 29 (!!!) candles for the cake and after bringing it out for us to blow out, took it back to slice and serve it. I really appreciated our servers for doing this and overall the hospitality. One downside that really wasn't anyone's fault, but weird is a group of what appeared to be high schoolers celebrating some kind of homecoming we're taking up the bathroom having a photo shoot and I guess were pretty hammered because someone in that group threw up all over one of the bathrooms (speaking of, the restaurant has spacious restrooms). Gross but it what can be done other than not allow large parties of high schoolers I guess. I'd recommend having a large party/celebratory dinner here!
