It's a shame I'm here only for vacation, because I most def would have come here as a regular if I lived in this area. The pork was succulent and tasted grilled, not baked. A lot of times Jamaican spots downplay the spice levels to cater to American palates, but not here! I was delighted to find that the jerk tasted like REAL JERK you'd get back home. Rice was fluffy and delicious, and you could taste the coconut. Vegetables were nice as well. My only complaint is that they gave me only 1 plantain. I ate it too fast to take a pic lol. We might grab some lunch from here tomorrow.

We wanted to celebrate Fathers Day with 3 dads with a total of 10 of us tonight. We arrived around…read more5:30p and it wasn't very crowded and we were seated immediately. That sadly was the best part of the night. We ordered; 8 AYCE and 2 ordered ala carte. My wife's vegetarian and doesn't eat much and my mom doesn't eat raw sushi and ordered the teriyaki shrimp. 1. The service is horrible. We waited 20mins to get our first appetizers. The waitress just dropped off plates and didn't explain what they were. My mom noticed the table next to us ordered what she got and a few minutes later, the waitress asked if she received her entree, which she replied no, and then she went to the table next to us and grabbed their plate and brought it back to the kitchen. We assume they reheated and replated the dish because it was way overcooked. 2. Long wait. Some items didn't arrived after over an hour and we asked about them multiple times. As we were ordering our 2nd round, we just reordered them. We got our waters refilled often but they never checked in to see if we were receiving our food or if we wanted to order more. Like they didn't ask one time. 3. Lost in translation. My parents are immigrants, so I am pretty understanding but the waitress didn't understand much of what I was saying and when I asked for extra ginger while pointing at it she looked very confused. I also asked her what a few items were when she brought them, and she didn't respond. 4. 10% coupon: don't bother trying to use the 10% off coupon from their own website. When we asked for the check, I showed her the coupon and she looked confused like I made it up and I let her know it was from their website under "coupons". She went to the back to ask about it and returned to say it was for online orders only. I mentioned that the coupon doesn't have any fine print except it can't be used with any other offers, and she didn't try to help at all which was frustrating. At the end of the day, it was probably one of the worst meals I've ever had. The food quality was ok except for my mom getting a reheated meal. But the service was terrible. It sucks to have to wait so long for food and things coming out randomly and my son and wife waiting over an hour for their items while others are pretty much done. Save yourself the aggravation and try something else.

As my friends and I gathered to catch up, we decided to head over to Teak for their Happy Hour. Let…read moreme tell you, we had a blast! We were escorted upstairs, where we settled in at a table, and before we knew it, the cocktails, mocktails, and appetizers started arriving! We feasted on just about everything from their Happy Hour menu and even ordered a couple of dishes that weren't part of it. Service was on point, and the ambiance was as great as ever. Our waitress was very attentive, constantly clearing away finished dishes and even replacing our used plates with fresh ones. We decided to skip the outdoor rooftop seating because it was just too cold for us. A great place to meet up with friends, catch up over drinks, or simply grab a bite after work!

Very disappointing experience. I previously visited this restaurant for lunch (maybe a year ago)…read moreand was seated outside on the patio with my service dog, so I was surprised by what happened during my most recent visit. My boyfriend went inside to ask if we could be seated at an outside table. He mentioned we had a service dog. The young hostess told him that animals were not allowed and that they could not seat us, even outside on the patio. At the time, there was only one other table seated outside, and we were completely willing to sit off to the side in a corner away from other guests. Being told we could not be accommodated, especially after having been seated outside with my service dog during a previous visit, made me feel extremely uncomfortable and unwelcome. We ultimately decided to leave rather than make the situation uncomfortable for anyone. I understand that restaurants have policies, but the inconsistency between my previous visit and this experience was disappointing. I hope management takes the time to make sure staff understand how to properly handle guests accompanied by service animals. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I don't see myself returning.

Restaurant was nice and quiet, and very casual. It was my first time coming here, but his second time. He ordered Sashimi Salad which he said was amazing. We shared a Niku meat set, which is basically 6 skewers with different combinations of meat, ( pork belly with lettuce, pork belly with tomato, pork belly with leek, pork skewer, chicken thigh, and baby potatoes) The flavor on each skewer was so delicious. We also shared their signature sliders with fries. The pork burger was extremely juicy and flavorful, and the fries were so crispy. And we also had their chicken fried rice. Wow it was savory. My bf doesn't really like rice but he kept eating the rice. That's how savory it was. I'll definitely be back to try new items. I heard their brunch is awesome.

Honestly one of the best unknowns I've ever picked. Needed some food after a day of shopping and…read moremost things were already closed, so went a little out of our way to get some food. The place is a simpler local eatery, so decor wasn't exactly a designed by some of the best New York interior decorators, but it was pleasant and very calm. The food is a fusion of various Asian cuisines but it is picked very well and cooked to perfection. Kids loved the Baos and Ramen which is probably one of the best indicators of the quality. From what I can tell it is family owned and run, so service may be a little slower than most similar places but it is definitely attentive and friendlier then most.

This is my second time here, and it just keeps getting better. The atmosphere is amazing, the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and you can tell everyone enjoys working there. Even the color scheme and overall vibe make the place feel inviting. Safe to say this has officially become my go-to spot.

I was very impressed with the All you can eat option at Mizu 36…read more The restaurant is spotless and there is plenty of parking. First, I love this option when they allow you to order what you want rather than choosing from premade sushi that every diner breathes on. The sushi was excellent, very fresh and prepared nicely although they are heavy handed on the rice and the avocados weren't quite ripe. The spicy tuna and spicy salmon were made well with crunch as ordered. I was especially impressed with their prepared food,the gyoza, shumai, lo mein, teriyaki steak, and fried rice were all top of the line Asian restaurant quality. If ordering the teriyaki I would recommend the sauce on the side as it overpowered the beef. Service was fine, it was a slow rainy night and the food came out quickly. The restaurant is decorated nicely and is BYOB. One star off....soft drinks and ice cream not included...for $37 I think they should include it. The suggested tip calculation is based on food and tax which is not right either.... I tip 20 percent regardless but you shouldn't suggest that I tip on tax. I will go back as the food was terrific.

Saw that they had AYCE sushi special so we went to check it out. $29.95 all you can eat dinner…read more Place was clean, service was good. Menu is mostly standard sushi with some interesting special rolls, along with a couple Chinese food offerings. Sushi for most part was good, not excellent but good. Sashimi Tuna was fresh tasting. Scallion pancake disgusting. I'd stay away from Chinese offerings based on that alone. Warnings are placed on table if you don't finish food I think it's $1 per plate, $8/lb for Chinese food charged If not eaten , or maybe that was for all food. Seems harsh. When I started the pancake was disgusting they didn't bother to take it away. So can use your imagination what we did with it. Would we go back? Possibly now that we know it's also BYOB, liquor store is in the plaza.
