Ever heard of biang biang noodles?…read more There's so much to love about these thick, flavorful and chewy hand pulled noodles. You have to get it spicy - all the flavor lives in their house made chili oil. This was the perfect quick bite before catching a show at the Beacon theater. 4/5 because I would have like something that provides a bit of freshness to cut through all the chili oil. In general, really delicious!

I opt for the mild option always; the spice levels here are crazy so be careful! I usually ask for less oil + mild to make it as least spicy as possible! I've also tried the minced pork noodles which were good, but not nearly as yummy as the lamb that they are famous for. Anyways, must try!!

It's easily one of the better smashburgers around--juicy patty, delicious sauce, grilled onions, pickles and a soft bun. The burgers are on the smaller side (not White Castle small, but my daughter usually eats two!), but at $6.50 for a single patty cheeseburger, it's a OK value. Don't skip the fries--they are crispy, delicious, and a generous portion for the price. Quick, easy, and fast! The staff was friendly, welcoming, and easygoing. Fast-casual vibe that feels a bit more low-key than standard fast-food joints. There is a small number of seats inside (stool seating) plus a couple of high tops tables outside.

We were seated quickly, and the service was attentive. I ordered the agua de sandía (watermelon juice) and the Baja crispy fish taco, while my friend got two tacos. The watermelon juice was refreshing, and fresh, without added sugar. The tacos were flavorful and enjoyable, and I appreciate that they are served on corn tortillas. We were also given complimentary chips and salsa. I've visited several Tacombi locations across NYC, and they are consistently reliable in both quality and experience. The prices are also very reasonable for the quality of food. I would definitely recommend this location, as well as any of their others.

Around 6pm all tables were taken; lots of families dining! We were told 15-25 minutes for a table but I'm not even sure we waited 5 minutes. We definitely waited longer for someone to take our order, which wound up being the hostess. Based on the service we received (barely any throughout our entire meal), it seems this location would be better suited for ordering at a counter, seating yourself and having your number called when food is ready (or brought to you). The taco Tuesday special is BOGO with cheaper tacos taken off bill. I had the Al pastor, crispy fish and barbacoa, which was a special collaboration (and the most expensive at $7.99). They have a good kid's menu. Much improved from when I was here years ago and the food was too spicy for kids. I ordered a michelada; it's $3 more than the price of the beer you choose. I was a little suspicious of what it might taste like when brought to the table. Whatever they use to make the michelada was brown. It wound up tasting pretty good.

I wish i took photos of my food or this location but I ate too fast ! My husband ordered the food at the kiosk and entered his phone number and got a $10 coupon for spending more than $30.

We sat downstairs with our numbers where an employee was using a walkie to talk to the employees upstairs. They brought our food to us and it was fresh. The employee working downstairs today around 5pm was so nice and helpful. Made sure tables were clean and we had all we needed. Excellent service from her. I used the bathroom after which there was a line for but the bathrooms were very clean. They have 2 bathrooms, i went into the smaller one but i was surprised with how clean it was.

This This burger chain is world-famous, and I've tried it in other countries, including Shanghai…read more I've always thought their burgers tasted pretty good, better than average fast-food burgers. Its origins trace back to the US, right here in New York, so I had high expectations. Sadly, my experience here was a huge letdown. It wasn't even as good as the locations overseas. Value for money is extremely poor. The beef patty was slightly burnt, and the overall flavour combination felt off. It's surprising that in the birthplace of hamburgers, this iconic brand can only deliver such mediocre quality. I'm quite disappointed and won't be ordering from this chain again while in the US. I'm giving the food 2 out of 5 stars. On a positive note, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming -- far better than the burger itself. I'd give the service a solid 5 stars.

The Ultimate NYC Breakfast Sandwich…read more My husband rarely eats sandwiches, but he noted that the breakfast sandwich here was easily one of the best things he had during our entire trip to New York. There are several locations across the city, but a local friend recommended this for their food and proximity to the American Museum of History. Because it is incredibly popular, the cafe was very crowded, and the counter-service line stretched straight down the middle of the shop. It was quite difficult to find an indoor table that could accommodate our party of four, so we grabbed some of the outdoor seating instead. While the venue was bustling and the service was understandably a little on the slower side due to the heavy crowd, we still had a wonderful experience and highly recommend stopping by.

Yonkers, Monticello, a brief and regrettable flirtation with Atlantic City... point is, I know meat. Camel smoke curls--you smell that? That's wisdom. That and a little Cutty Shark sweating through a paper cup. Doctor says cut back. I says, "Doc, you ever tried livin' without flavor?" Conversation over. Now--burgers. Everybody's got a burger. Every schmuck with a flat-top thinks he's curing cancer between two buns. But there are levels, kid. Levels. You got your one-napkin burgers. Dry. Sad. Like chewing on a library book. You eat it, you forget it, you question your life choices. Then--then--you graduate. Two napkins. Now we're talkin'. Juice shows up to the party, maybe says hello, maybe shakes your hand, nothing crazy. But a three-napkin burger? Ooof. I've had a few in my day. A few. And lemme tell you--they were money. Drippin' down the wrist, little collateral damage on the shirt, but you don't care. That's a burger with ambition. That's a burger that says, "Yeah, I might ruin your dry cleaning, but you'll thank me later." Four napkins? Rare air. That's like hittin' a trifecta blindfolded while your bookie's yellin' in your ear. You don't plan for it. It just... happens. You sit there afterward, hands lookin' like you just changed the oil in a Buick, and you think, "I have seen God." But then... then... You hear whispers. Rumors. Guys at the track talkin' low, like it's contraband. "Five Napkins," they say. I'm thinkin', what is this, a joke? Five napkins? What are we, detailin' a car or eatin' lunch? So I go. Of course I go. I'm not dead yet. I sit down, order the burger. Guy brings it out like he's carryin' a newborn. There's a hush. I swear to you, a hush. First bite--first bite--and it's like the Hoover Dam gave up. Juice everywhere. Structural integrity? Forget it. This thing collapses like a bad alibi. I'm laughin', kid. I'm laughin' like a man who just beat the odds. Napkin one--gone. Two--gone. Three--I'm in survival mode now. Four--this is gettin' biblical. By five? By five I'm not even a person anymore. I'm an event. I'm a situation. And here's the thing--they knew. They knew what they were doin'. This ain't sloppy by accident. This is engineering. This is art. This is a burger that looks you in the eye and says, "You don't eat me. You endure me." So yeah. You go ahead, try your little artisanal whatever with the aioli and the personality crisis. That's fine. Live your life. But don't come to me--don't come to me--until you've gone the distance. Until you've stared down five napkins and come out the other side changed. Now pass me that cup. The ice melted, but the message didn't.
