For a late birthday meal on a Monday, we chose this restaurant because lately, I have been wanting…read morebeef or steak and love fries. Great combo for me. It was a nice restaurant by the pier. Heard great things about this restaurant. It was easy to reserve on 'Open Table'. Was greet very welcoming. The restaurant opened at 5pm but we arrived early. They let us sit inside. Nice decor inside. Good for big groups. No outdoor seating. We did the 'Wagyu Experience' and cost $68ea if you go here from Sunday to Monday. They also had a good happy hour for long hours from Sunday to Thursday. Good for a quick bite and drink. We ordered their Goma salad which was tangy and good. You will need to have this so you won't be too sick of too much meat. I like the truffle Parmesan fries too but didn't finish as I saved my appetite to eat more meat instead. I would highly suggest to have the doneness of the Wagyu as 'Medium-rare to medium' as when we had the first batch it as a little too dry for me. The meat was tender and not chewy at all or fatty. We could only have two servings. I thought we could have another but it was a lot of meat for us. We tried and they even tried to get us to have more. The sauce we liked was the Chimichurri and herb butter, together. You have to use all the herb butter or it will get hard fast in the serving dish. We didn't have any add ons but we did have drinks. We had Hoboken Beer and a drink called 'Rising Sun'. I would definitely come back to try other dishes. Prices are decent but you are limited two hours sit down. Our server AlfredoZ was great. 20% Tip is automatic even if it's two people. [41R,2026]

It was tom yum week so they had a special dish celebrating it (not tom yum) it was rice, crab, toppings, and 2 sauces. Really good and represents southeast Asian flavors so well! The squid ink stir fried squid was so good! Tasted exactly what I expected. Heavy on the lemongrass and other Thai flavors. The mama noodle was also good, a bit creamier than tom yum soups usually that I get for apps. It's meant to be for 2 people, which I didn't know cos I got it for myself. The Thai ice tea was very much needed for the meals to balance the salty and spicy.

We shared the Hoy Jaw $18 which was very flavorful and crispy without being greasy. I had the Kuay Tiew Nuer $22 as I was under the weather and would appreciate a good soup.

Portions are large; I'm no guessing it's family style, the big bowl of chicken soup was tasty. We could barely eat it all. Lunch tomorrow is already covered with the food ad took home.

If you enjoy garlic fried rice I highly recommend. It's packed with flavor, not your average garlic fried rice. I would get it again. I finished everything !

Not much space to move around that's the only down side of the place.

This was our 2nd dinner so we didn't get to explore the whole menu but we got one of their most popular dish which was their crying tiger ribeye and chive dumplings. We also got a side of the panang curry (bc that's my favorite kind of curry) and easily one of the best panang curry's I've had. Super flavorful, just the right amount of spice, would definitely recommend. As for the ribeye steak, it was cooked to perfection. The sauce I was hoping to be spicier but found it kind of sweet. We ended up drenching the dish with the panang curry and it took it to the next level for me. The chive dumplings were solid, but I didn't enjoy the sauce that came with it was a little too sweet for my taste but if sweet is your thing, it might be for you. The hospitality here was top-notch. Everyone was so friendly and everything came out really fast. Overall, we are happy we came here and really enjoyed our meal here. Would definitely eat here again,

Upon entering it was very small with stools on the right along a long bar like table and one table with 2 chairs. Not really an eat in but we stayed and made it work. I had a Sylvester Burger, Single 4 oz black angus beef patty served on a potato bun with American cheese, red onion, pickle, aioli, and tangy burger sauce with onion rings and a club soda. My daughter ordered grilled cheese and a sprite. My order came to $17 and change and my daughter's was under $10. They don't serve alcohol but they do have shakes and ice cream. Very reasonably priced for NYC. Our food came out quickly and was cooked perfectly. The lady who took our order was very pleasant and efficient. A surprisingly good experience. They seem to do mostly take out with limited menu but it seems to work great especially since we were recommended by another restaurant.

Had old tables and chairs but had good ratings according to Yelp. We ordered Seolleongtang which is a bone soup with tender meat. Good for a cold rainy day. Also, ordered Kalbi and soy garlic wings and rice. Didn't get to order a lot. I forgot to take a picture of the wings as we were hungry. lol Food was mediocre. The soy garlic wings was crispy but not much sauce. The Kalbi was more like a stir fry. Seollangtang broth was ok but you really need to add flavor to the soup. Probably good only when you're sick since you can't taste anything. LOL Service was good. Prices are ok. Everything is just ok. [38R,2026]

Ordering and paying is a breeze through a computerized kiosk. My partner ordered teriyaki salmon with adobo rice and pickles, while I opted for Pinoy katsu; a pan-fried chicken cutlet with a coconut curry base served with adobo rice and pickles as well. The dishes went well with chilled local beer. We found the portion very filling. The dishes did not particularly blow us away but were nothing off-putting. Overall, with a good price point and service, it's a good place to go for a hassle-free lunch.

Drinks are awesome too and there is happy hour after 9pm with draft beer only at $5, very good deal. However the service upstairs was so bad that I almost made a scene. I waited a long time to get my check which I was already a little annoyed as the two servers including our server made eye contact with me several times and they ignored us. Once we got the check we asked for a to go box which they say they'll get us right away. However, they proceed to work on not important task like placing napkins and utensils on empty tables ( im sure it's not an urgent task since there is lots of empty tables with napkins and utensils) so I waited like 5 mins more while making multiple eye contact with him and he still didn't get the box for me. I had to walk to him and ask can I get my box please to finally get my thing. The very nice gentlemen next table even asked if I were ok and offer to buy me beer. And the ironic part is that they ordered beer like 20 mins ago and that didn't came so I kindly said no thanks.

They're hoping to open a rooftop space (separate entrance - not currently open!) and a speakeasy lounge downstairs soon, too. Warning: GRATUITY IS ADDED AUTOMATICALLY FOR EVERY CHECK. Since this is a nearby new spot in the neighborhood, we decided to check it out on a nondescript September Wednesday evening. We were one of only a few customers at the bar, although a large party came in later and sat in the dining area. The cocktail menu seems to be evolving as we didn't see some of the drinks shared on previous Yelp reviews on the current menu, and they have also added quite a bit of food to their offerings. Service was overall decent, but the the evolving drink menu meant the bartender was still learning the current drink recipes for each order, therefore taking some additional time. Unfortunately, the drinks did not really stand out. They were average, though boozy, and really just OK. I hope that it's just growing pains as they continue to evolve their menu, but unfortunately, the cocktail program needs some love. Adding fuel to the fire was a very generous unnecessary gratuity auto-added to every check.

Era has become the neighborhood staple I didn't know I needed in Hell's Kitchen…read more The vibe is elevated yet relaxed--perfect for everything from a casual drink to a full night out. The cocktails are consistently excellent (and if they ever bring back that carrot drink, ORDER IT IMMEDIATELY--I still dream about it). Food-wise, the tacos and elote are my go-to combo every time. Upstairs on the rooftop, it transforms into more of a party scene--think DJ sets, hookah, a full bar, and killer views of the city. Special shoutout to Genesis for always bringing the energy, and to Gigi--truly one of the best bartenders I've ever met. I've gone in for "just one drink" and stayed for hours more times than I can count. Trust me: Get yourself to Era.
