    I came here as soon as the doors opened one Sunday after work. Greeted and seated at the bar immediately. The bartender waited patiently for me to figure out my order. I got a flavored margarita and California rolls which I must say tasted delicious and were very fulfilling. & the best part was everything was $6 each.

    The vibes here are the best in all of uptown. I hope they never change this place because it's the most fun I've had up here. The workers are so patient, funny and helpful. They recommended great dishes and took their time with us. I ended up staying longer than I wanted because I kept ordering hookah. Usually I don't but their hookah was great and worth the money. The food was amazing. Their sushi has their own twist but it makes sense and I almost wanted to ask them what exactly was in it. Amazing drinks and overall the prices were SUPER reasonable. I came here on a regular day so I can imagine how much fun it would've been if I came with a specific occasion. 100% recommend

    Another place I kept seeing on IG and decide to try it with my cousin. The min I walked it got greeted very nice she even sat me to wait for my cousin to arrive. I was able to order while I wait and I liked that most places don't let u sit until everyone is there. The drinks were good the food as well in the happy hour time . We had a good time and the Dj played good music.

    Gather the crew and head to Washington Heights. Great vibes, cold drinks, and fusion bites are fantastic.

    I came here for happy hour and had a mixed experience. Drinks: * I ordered a margarita on the rocks. It was okay--not great, but it got the job done. * The frozen passionfruit margarita? A huge miss. You could see the syrup wasn't even blended properly, and they went way overboard with it. Food: * I specifically asked for extra crispy wings, but they were far from crispy and had zero seasoning. It tasted like plain chicken with hot sauce poured on top. * The rock shrimp was much better! Crunchy, with a sweet chili flavor that was more sweet than spicy. Even if you don't like spice, you'll enjoy this. Atmosphere: The DJ was definitely the highlight of the night--great vibe and energy. While the atmosphere was a win, the food and drinks left a lot to be desired. I'd consider coming back for the vibe, but I'm hoping they improve the quality of their wings and cocktails.

    Went to Budda last week and we honestly had such a great time. The ambiance is cool with really chill vibes, and the drinks are beautifully presented. From the food our favorites were the sushi and the octopus. Definitely going back whenever we're in Uptown Manhattan :)

    I came here for my birthday! I had such a great time! The drinks were really good! The food was very very delicious. The cake on top of the icing was the customer service, Luis was our waiter and I cannot emphasize enough on how amazing he was! I will absolutely be back again, great staff, great music, great food. Overall just a nice place to go grab a bite, drinks, birthday or relax. You won't regret coming here!

    My friend recommended we try this new place in the Manhattan Inwood area, NAPA in the Heights…read more We decided to check out this bar/restaurant today, and I am pleased to report it didn't disappoint. The vibe was cool, the service was excellent, and the $$$ food and drinks were delicious. This clean, modern, and cozy establishment provided not only an excellent dining experience but unbelievable entertainment, too. We inital went for dinner and drinks, but stayed when this wonderful artist and guitar player started to do their thing. Johnny Bliss sang & transported patrons to another place along with his talented string partner, Fabio. The singers voice is unbelievably beautiful. A true gift to the ears. He arrived around 8PM, and did a few sets until approx. 11pm. Apparently, these two artists are playing at NAPA on Fridays nights (not sure for how long). We had the meatballs, crabcake, and pork chop dinner (all yum). We had a few custom and signature drinks. Happy hour available until 7pm. Street parking out side. Conveniently located by MTA bus/trains. Totally recommend, will go again .

I had already paid $40 just to enter the lounge, and yet the security guard at coat check aggressively insisted I take off my "coat" and pay another $20 just to wear it--or $10 to check it. The problem? It wasn't even a coat. It was a dress, and I told him that. I even explained that I could technically wear it as a dress and that I only had something skimpy underneath, but he still kept arguing. He kept pushing me to take it off and said, "There are plenty of other people dressed like that," completely ignoring the fact that I was uncomfortable. Being told to basically strip down or pay more money after already paying $40 to get in felt harassing, humiliating, and absolutely unacceptable. The whole situation felt like a scam and a blatant cash grab. If management allows staff to treat guests this way, it says everything about how poorly this place is run. I won't be coming back.
