    Very rare where you can find perilla leaf in kimbab in the tri-state area. That alone deserves the 5 stars. Not to add the meat was very good also I wish I could give more than 5 star even if its out of 5 stars.

    small space, more grab and go vibes. matcha only had one size on the menu, that I saw, but was delicious. excited to go back and try other syrups, lattes, and the food

    Such a cute place! Just opened up 2 months ago and the vibe is so comforting. Well priced and full kimbap that's easy and quick to eat/take away. We ordered the spicy pork and traditional kimbap and inside had plenty of filling such as egg, fish cake, imitation crab, radish, and green bean. We also ordered 2 drinks (not pictured) - Madeline latte and toasted marshmallow matcha. They make it fresh and not too sweet! This hit the spot for us looking to grab a lunch and the owners also gave us an oden soup to try, which was so delicious. Definitely recommend stopping by here if you get a chance. There's street parking right in front. They also offer kimbap platters/catering.

So I did. I cannot get over how tasty and oh so good their burgers are! I am not a fan of burgers that are smashed, but these burgers are so tasty and juicy! Beef delivered from Pat LeFrieda's every day, and all fresh ingredients. And the sauce on the Burger so delicious. They have excellent choices, including plant-based burgers and breaded chicken ("Impossible" brand) I had the swiss burger lettuce wrap with sautéed onions & shrooms, And My best friend had the same but added bacon. He also ordered truffle Parmesan fries, which were so delectable! To top it off, the service was excellent! Everyone who worked there was helpful & answered any question that you had with a smile. What a great bunch of people! I live about 20 minutes away, but I will definitely be going back at least once a week! And the place is cute. Love, love, love Marty's!!

Considering how I had an impulsive meal at McDonald's for $13 of similar portions not too long ago, Marty's is a better deal by miles. The chicken sandwich is nicely battered and arrived slathered in their house sauce that reminds me of In N Out's 'animal' sauce. I like the addition of the sweet pickles, too. And their Cole slaw is actually good; also made in house. The fries used to be thinner, which I miss. But I can't get over how good the salt and vinegar ones are. I will just have to accept the regression in quality. Nothing lasts forever, after all.

We decided on this place because rating was pretty good and was open late. It's located in a plaza with Korean market, liquor store, cafe and such. Large parking area available in the plaza. Inside is small but clean and gives off traditional Korean restaurant vibe with of course Korean music. There were quite few Korean customers as well as staffs so i knew we were in the right place. They specialize in Korean beef soup. We ordered rice cake and dumplings and special beef rib soup. The fish came with purple rice and various kimchi and pickled veggies side dishes. They also serve korean hot tea along side the dishes. My special beef rib soup was very light and clear but full of beef flavor. Little touch with salt and pepper with pickled veggies and rice paired with very well. The meats were very tender and flavorful as well. Portion is quite large and i was not able to finish my bowl although i did help with another bowl of rice from my partner. My partner got the rice cake and dumplings beef soup. This one was a but lighter and needed more salt flavoring but also good. She liked her's better as she doesn't like heavier and fattier meat/broth. Salt and peppers are provided to adjust your seasoning as needed. Even though they could not finish the dishes i throughly enjoyed the food. What i like about Korean dishes is that even some are heavy and fatty they include lots of vegetables and healthy ingredients which makes it feel like you had a healthy meal and lots of nutrients despite eating out. Service was minimal but adequate. Overall it was very good authentic Korean restaurant that offers solid Korean beef soup. If you want to try authentic Korean beef soup and you are in the area this is the place.

The soft shell crab was yummy and perfectly fried but we preferred dipping it into the yellowtail sauce. The yellowtail was a little overcooked and not the best piece. My friend complained that the meat was too tough as it was not just the collar portion. I usually find overcooking the yellowtail quite difficult since it's normally very tender. The cheesy corn chicken was delicious. Love the little pieces of corn in the cheese and the texture and taste of the chicken. The interior of the restaurant is clean, bright and relaxing. Service was good. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have the Orion draft available. Ordered and the ever came back 5 mins later saying that's unavailable as well so I ended up ordering the Terra. The have meter parking in the back or the restaurant. Around $3 per hour and the restaurant will refund you the first hour. Plus if you pay cash, you get 12% off. I would definitely check the bill as there was definitely a discrepancy with the parking reimbursement and cash discount. Overall, I think the food is better than norm and would definitely come back or visit/try the Manhattan location.

When we had questions about menu items, our server was unable to provide any additional information and simply responded that "it's whatever is written on the menu." That was not helpful and did not reflect the level of service I would expect. The wood-fired chicken was very good--moist, flavorful, and one of the best parts of the meal. However, the steak was ordered medium and arrived significantly overcooked. To make matters worse, the pizza I ordered never arrived because the server failed to enter it into the order. The biggest concern came when the check arrived. We were charged for a bottle of wine that we never ordered, which required us to question and correct the bill. Additionally, a 20% gratuity was automatically added even though the menu states that automatic gratuity applies only to parties of 8 or more, and our party consisted of just 6 people. While the kitchen did produce some good food, the combination of unhelpful service, missed orders, an overcooked steak, and billing errors made for a frustrating experience. Unfortunately, the service issues overshadowed what could have been an enjoyable meal.

The place has been nicely updated and kept fresh with tasteful renovations without loosing its local pizzeria restaurant touch. Service was delivered with a smile and it was good to hear about the original owners Mr and Mrs Franco. My son and daughter had to have a NY pizza in NY - but stated this was better and without the hefty cost and the crazy wait My personal favorites from the past are the cheese pizza and the mussels, and the sausage and pepper heroes This time only was able to eat the pizza since we had already had dinner, honestly it tasted great . Unsure when I'll be back but will definitely make a stop. For reference had gone to school in NYC for 9 years and had plenty of Rays or other NY pizza and Franco's was always my goto. And currently living in Az -- I have enjoyed pizzeria bianco but know what it is like to miss some good old fashioned pizza Thank you Mr and Mrs Franco for the memories

THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Entrance and waiting area are a bit tight. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = There are lot of tables and big booths inside, BUT some of the tables were fairly close and walking space was limited when it was busy. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Suppppper busy on Valentine's Day Saturday evening when we arrived at 6 PM. Luckily we made a reservation because we observed people without them not getting a table. = The dining room is to the left of the main entrace while the pizza shop is to the right.

I would say Service is pretty nonexistent as you order on the counter and you see yourself with no waitressing. The cashier lady was also pretty rude and not accomodating to my request (make my drinks less sweet) so they lose a store for that. Atmosphere is cute and vibes are great, definitely has modern and traditional Korean vibes. However, I would not say that this is like a traditional tea house? Having been to A LOT of tea houses in Korea, their menu and concept is definitely far from what a traditional teahouse is like. For instance, a traditional teahouse would have assorted rice, cakes and traditional, Korean desserts, however, I feel like this place used modern French pastries, and put a Korean twist on them, which I would say is not very Korean in reality. Baked goods were OK. It tasted stale. Losing a star for that as well.
