Came here after seeing it on a few lists and the hype is real. Tried the L'Industry slice,…read morepepperoni, and margherita. The L'Industry is genuinely one of the best pizzas I've had, maybe the best. The burrata on top is fresh and creamy and takes it to another level. Fair warning: the crust is not the typical crunchy NY slice you might expect. It's softer, more of its own thing. I didn't mind it at all, the dough itself is really good, just go in without assumptions. Plan for a wait. The line is part of the deal here. Worth every minute.

Good to great slices that are simply not worth the amount of hype that this place has. I waited in…read moreline for 18 minutes after being told it would be less than 20. Fair play employee. Guess when you have lines everyday, you get a solid idea about how long it takes. The employee who I later found out was a manager was doing a lot of yelling. That included yelling at customers to keep moving and to hurry up ordering. It did not include telling his one employee taking orders to stop chit chatting with certain customers. Interesting. When I was finally able to order, I got a pepperoni and a fig jam bacon slice. Total was like $15 which seems a little steep but whatever I guess. After about 10 or so minutes, my pizza was ready. The pepperoni was about an 8/10. Very good slice of pizza. Nothing noteworthy to me though and no better than other slices I had. A very good piece of pizza. The fig jam bacon was more like a 7-7.5/10. The amount of toppings was lacking. The bites that did have toppings were quite good. Better than the pepperoni. Unfortunately, there were few bites like that. This is very good pizza. It's not the best in the city. Far from it.

It will be crowded and overwhelming. You might get jostled…read more It will all be worth it for the cacio e pepe slice. Pipin' hot. Dripping with oil. It's crunchy, cheesy, absolutely bad for your body, and you'll come crawling back for more. I dream of her.

I'll start by saying I ordered the wrong thing. Hand up. I'm partially to blame because I ordered a…read moreround slice instead of the Sicilian which is what they are seemingly known for. If I ever return, I'll have to try a square slice. I was able to order right away which was nice. Having waited in line for 15 minutes and then another 10 or so immediately before at the supposed #1 place within about a 1 minute walk nearby; I was glad that this had no wait to order. I did the Uncle Joe which was a vodka pepperoni sauce and I added pesto. The total was $8.50. WTAF. NYC I guess. I waited less than 5 minutes before getting the pizza. Of the 6 slice spots I had, this was by far the best tasting dough/crust. I had an audible reaction when tasting the crust. Extremely good. Unfortunately, the pizza had too much sauce. It was overwhelming. Simply too much sauce. I could only have about half before giving up. Both sauces tasted good, but the vodka sauce was so loaded that it was hard to taste anything else. A shame because this had potential to be a great score.

5/27/2026 What could I say about this place that everyone…read moredoesn't know about..... absolutely nothing lol. Always recommend getting a reservation weather calling or walking to the booth. Our wait was at least an hour and a half and were texted when our table was ready. They have indoor and outdoor seating with one bathroom for all to use. We got the viral pancakes and they were everything you'd dream they be and then some for sure very filling and buttery. I got a "pick me up" and it was perfect gave me a beautiful caffeine kick to start the day I recommend for sure. Weather you come for the viral moment this feels like a solid staple in the community with bright music playing everyone kind of everywhere and just a relaxed feel that you can't wait to enjoy after you get seated. Bathroom rating 5/5 very clean for how busy the place is :)

I've been wanting to try this place out since 2021, but never got the chance. I got here on Monday…read moremorning at around 11:00 am to put my name down for a table of 2 and there was already an hour and 45 minute wait. After running a couple of errands while waiting for the table to be ready, we were seated outside at the patio after an hour and 45 minutes. We ordered the famous honey butter pancakes, the korean wings, and the breakfast sandwich with hash brown, scrambled eggs, and sausage. The honey butter pancakes were pretty good but kinda drenched in the butter that made it hard to finish. The korean wings were also alright but the batter to me was kinda thick and heavy and lacked crispiness. The best item we ordered was the breakfast sandwich with hashbrown, scrambled eggs, and sausage. I think the eggs are cooked with cheese, and as someone who typically does not eat cheese, I didn't mind it. I don't know if I'll be back again - I think the concept of an asian twist on the classic diner does sound intriguing but difficult to execute. I also wasn't a big fan of the wait time. If you typically like heavier, diner food then this spot might be the place for you!

The food was delicious and so FAST! Our waiter Frankie was so nice! Will definitely be coming back!…read moreThe vibe inside was relaxing and the seats were comfortable.

Mountain House is a Sichuan restaurant that brings bold flavors and a more modern dining atmosphere…read moreto the Times Square area. We walked into a space with a rustic and earthy design that felt warm and comfortable, the kind of room that stands out from the typical tourist-area restaurants nearby. The dining room had a relaxed, inviting energy with a layout that accommodated both small groups and larger parties, and the focus felt centered around the food rather than the spectacle of the neighborhood. The food is where Mountain House really stands out. We ordered a few dishes and found the Mapo tofu one of the highlights, with a deep, rich flavor and a balanced level of heat that made it feel more complex than many versions of the dish we have tried. The combination of spice, seasoning, and texture came together in a way that felt carefully composed. The Sichuan-style dishes also showcased the restaurant's strength with bold mala flavors, bringing the characteristic numbing spice without completely overwhelming the other elements of the dish. The fried rice was another standout, simple but executed well, with a comforting quality that made it a great balance alongside the more intense Sichuan dishes. The restaurant also offered a variety of dishes that worked well for sharing, including options like pork belly and seafood-based dishes, making it a good choice for groups who wanted to try multiple flavors instead of ordering individually. We appreciated the small touches that added to the overall experience, including the complimentary pickled vegetables and tea service, which helped make the meal feel more complete rather than just a series of dishes arriving at the table. Service during our visit was attentive, and the staff were helpful with navigating the menu and spice levels. They offered guidance on which dishes would work best for our group and adjusted the heat when we asked. The main thing to keep in mind is that Sichuan cuisine can vary significantly in spice level, and some dishes can be much hotter than expected. If you are not used to mala spice, asking for recommendations or adjusting the spice level is worth doing. The portions also make this a better option for sharing, especially if you want to try several dishes. Overall, Mountain House is a strong option for Sichuan food. The combination of bold flavors, comfortable atmosphere, and attentive service makes it a place worth returning to, especially if you enjoy spicy Chinese cuisine and want a restaurant that focuses on the flavors and techniques of Sichuan cooking rather than just convenience.
