These were hands down the best tacos we had in New York! We tried tacos at several different places…read moreduring our trip, and nothing else came close. The tacos were fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. There was a line when we arrived, but don't let that discourage you--it moved surprisingly quickly and was definitely worth the short wait. The restaurant was also very clean, which made the experience even better. If you're looking for amazing tacos while you're in New York, this place is a must-try. Out of all the tacos we had during our visit, these were by far our favorite. We would absolutely come back!

Roughly two years ago, I went to the Downtown Brooklyn location while I was serving on jury duty…read more If I recall, it was not a bad experience. Seeing there is one in Lower Manhattan near my office, I decided to give this one a go for lunch today. In all, the slices are solid, but definitely nothing to go crazy about. Overall the theme of the slices is one thing, salty. A good pizza slice should be salty, but not too salty. Too much salt ruins the slice and makes for a more cumbersome experience to the whole thing. The plain slice is solid, nice cheese and sauce, and the sourdough crust adds a nice touch. A little acidity to the sauce, but nothing screaming. The pepperoni slice is just okay. Most of the pepperoni is well overcooked, and it is quite a salty slice. It could be hard to recover from this slice if you do not order a white slice... Which is what I did. The white slice is solid but nothing notable. A slight garlic touch, a slight lemon flavor, and a beautiful undercarriage. The undercarriage is what saves the slice. Otherwise heartburn will set in quickly. Downtown, particularly TriBeca, FiDi, and Civic Center, all lack a viable pizza option. This one is solid, but Jay's and Joe's supersede this Norm's by a country mile. Overall pizza rating: 3.3/5

TL;DR- A decent slice of pizza for the price. While I wouldn't go out of my way to visit, it's…read moreperfectly acceptable. The rating is for the area, as FiDi is generally pretty terrible with options, including pizza outside of Neapolitan pies. This location is one of several from this NYC pizza chain. I've been to another one near Union Square, and my thoughts are similar for both places. The plain slice costs $3.50, has a decent amount of cheese, and a fresh sauce which is bright, but not super notable. I did find the overall flavor a bit salty, possibly due to the cheese blend or the sauce. The crust is thin and slightly crispier than what I've experienced elsewhere, but not so crispy that it tastes burnt, as I've encountered at some other places like Cello's. At $3.50, it's a solid option, definitely better than many other chains like La Pizza Italia or the subpar Little Italy Pizza/Ray's. Personally, I would choose to walk over to the much busier Joe's instead, but this place does the job just fine, and it's cheaper, though, as noted by others, thinner than Joe's, so it's a bit less filling. It's good for a quick bite.

Got a spicy double with the jalapenos and the habanero sauce. The martin's potato roll is good. The meat was not dry, but could use a bit more seasoning. The jalapenos and the sauce were really carrying the flavor, and it was a little on the sweeter side for my tastes. The burger was also really small in size IMO and a little greasy for me. The fries? They were good, but they were just frozen fries and I particularly liked the cajun seasoned ones. I think it's OK. Not my style, and not worth waiting in line for.

There was an area where you could grab green hot sauce, red hot sauce, salsa, raw radishes, and fried hot peppers in small plastic containers. Their fried hot peppers were really spicy and tasted amazing with the tacos if you needed an extra kick! The service was very quick! They didn't have any seating areas, but there were plenty of tables where you could stand and eat. I felt like this was more of a place to grab a quick bite rather than somewhere to sit, chat, and chill. Definitely a great spot to check out!

The highlight was the Pork "Zha Jiang" Hand-Ripped Noodles - noodles were the best I've ever had. Pork and the accompaniments were delicious and perfectly flavored. I also ordered pork and cabbage dumplings which were delicious but the meat to dough ratio is way off (super doughy). Tried the cucumber salad based on reviews and it was just ok. The flavors sat on top of the cucumbers as opposed to being integrated. This place is super casual with not a ton of seating - easy ordering with kiosks. Nice they don't ask for tips. Service is friendly and prompt. Didn't have to wait long for my food. I'll definitely be back to try more noodle and the burgers!

Absolutely delicious food!…read more I got their spicy and sour fish soup it was so flavorful. All the ingredients were very fresh. The portion size was perfect. They let you choose your spice level.

And tucked between them... a small, unassuming Thai place - empty when we first arrived (but filling up by the time we left) - that's humbly slinging incredible food. Let's get my bellyaching out of the way - there were three of us and the first dish came out wicked fast. The second dish about five minutes later. The final dish about five minutes after that. (So the first person is done eating as the last person is finally getting to dig in.) Otherwise... the food was crammed with the flavors and spices you'd expect with Thai cuisine. (I'd love to learn the secrets to how they're able to manipulate tofu into something so damn delicious.) One kid said it was by far the crispiest (fried) chicken he'd ever encountered. (But that side salad it came with wasn't a hit.) The portion size was impressive, and it was reasonably priced (hey, this is NYC - after all). An almost-perfect quickie lunch after working up an appetite from a Pace University campus tour for my teens. (Just don't get me started on how expensive the parking lot a few blocks away was for three hours!)
