    I mean I don't even know what to say... this place was down right amazing. It's a perfect blend of Dominican food and Asian food, great for a night where you can't decide what you want to eat! The servers were great, very polite, and sitting outside was a nice experience.

    The place is easily found. Decor is nice. This was my first time in this location. I was visiting family members and decided to try a Dominican Twist. We were a group of 9. We had to wait a bit but the staff was accommodating. They have an enclosed outdoor area which should have provided a bit of shielding from freezing cold when door opened. But the outside door was left opened every time someone walked in and we were freezing every time the doors opened. Owner should invest in adding a spring on first door that can close it shot after customers arrive and before it reaches next door. This can keep freezing cold out more. I liked that menus are on iPad and everything has pictures, which is Very nice and helpful. We ordered lots of food to share as I wanted to try a lot. We tried: Japanese Shrimp tempura bento box; Chicken fried rice; Pork fried rice; Yuca frita; Mexicano roll; Merengue roll; La chapiadora roll; and El conuco roll. The shrimp tempura was done to perfection. The fried rice was not bad. It was a bit dry almost as if it had been reheated but it had good flavor. I was surprised it was so little. The Conuco roll and chapiadora we didn't like much. But we liked all the other ones. One thing I didn't like was that some of us wanted water and the waitress opened bottles of water that cost $8 each without asking us and we never said the water needed to be bottled. I felt like this was a bit inconsiderate of her not to ask first if it needed to be bottled. I stopped her but she had already served 2. Another table next to us said she did the same to them. You never know what financial situation someone has. And if they are making a sacrifice to enjoy this food but don't want to spend $8 on water. The bathrooms were cleaned and unisex however none of the doors locked so people kept trying to open the doors while you are in it. A lock is such an easy thing for something so important they should invest on it.

    I enjoyed myself here. I went during happy hour and it was the perfect time because no one was there yet. My server was efficient and always checked in. The food and drinks were great and well priced. I'll be back for another happy hour.

    Dominican Republic meets Japan. Asian Latino fusion Tamiko is Japanese for friendly. Arigato. The options were extensive as seen in the menu. The preparation was with care as reflected in the taste. My palate was fancied. We started with two appetizers and a roll each. So many options; a process to decide. We must return to savor the additional flavor combinations.

    I finally got to try Mama Sushi and was very pleased with my experience. Although the prices are steep, the food is very tasty! I love the modern twist of Japanese and Latin fusion. I ordered the popcorn shrimp for an app (highly recommend!!) and the Mexicano roll. Both tasted delicious!! They don't have happy hour which is kind of disappointing since most of their cocktails start at $17. Overall, very happy with my food.

    I'm not a huge fan of Spanish food, nor hookah. But this spot was very nice. I went here on a date and had their lamb chops, steak sushi rolls, and hookah. The service did take pretty long I wish it were quicker. The area was in an okay spot. I loved their sushi rolls, their lamb chops could have been better.

    This spot was such a fun find! We had heard about this spot from a few friends and we were finally in the neighborhood so we had to stop by. Service was quick and friendly, and the fun twist on the sushi was delicious! Would definitely come again.

    This place is good vibes for real. Friendly staff, good music, hookah and drinks. The sushi has Dominican twist to it and I thoroughly enjoyed eating and hanging out here. I cannot remember the names of the rolls but they were excellent. I would definitely be coming back here whenever I'm in NY.

    Happy hour passion fruit margarita &10. so good. Great service and ambiance: After work hangout.

    This mam sushi doesn't compare to the one in the Bronx. The octopus was over cooked, the lamb was fatty and the steak was also fatty I had high standards for this location since i know it is one of the original locations. Unfortunately the food was not as good and the seats was too close to others for my liking. This spot allows hookah in the restaurant. The food took long to come out. However, we decided to get a lychee drink and i must say it was delicious. We also got dessert for the first time and tried the coconut flan and fried cheesecake rolls. Beat part of the meal. The waitress was nice and accommodating since one of our friends was Spanish speaking only. It was packed and if your driving I'm here please be advised parking is a b****. Chain is good otherwise since it has a nice mix of Spanish abs Japanese on their menu. Atypical sushi's with sweet plantain and lobster, steak. Great place to try if your interested in blended foods!

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.
