    Done in a very non traditional way but really interesting dishes! Standouts for me were the fish slider (just heavenly umami and buttery bun), sorbet (rich basil and pesto oil, very unique), and the fatty tuna kimchi roll.

    I truly don't know that I can express how enjoyable a meal this was in terms of experience. The staff is incredible and felt like we were the best of friends. They're so attentive to a degree that I'm surprised they don't have the star over their sister restaurant (not that I've been). And the layout of the restaurant works so well because you're in constant contact with someone who seems like they want to chat with you in such an intimately personable way. The food itself was astounding, even more-so than I had anticipated. It's a bit pricey but for the experience was worth it. The bagels-on-Hudson and shrimp nigiri were a must for me. The former worked so well and was such an interesting idea.

    Amazing spot with amazing service. Beautiful dishes, great wine selection, all around a total slam dunk

    Fish sausage slider - amazing!!!!

    Love this place so much! 5 star meal every time I go. This time I tried something new, the fish slider, it was so amazing I wish I could eat it everyday.

    Rosella isn't bad. It's just vastly, vastly overpriced for semi-creative Japanese fusion. Dozens of restaurants in the city can do the same thing, and many don't charge as much as Rosella does. This is sushi/Japanese designed for rich white people who can afford to travel to Japan but still can't tell you what omakase means, and the prices--and clientele--reflect that. Why else would Rosella charge $21 for a Spicy Tuna Roll? Six average-sized pieces containing nothing particularly unique besides avocado, jalapeno and spicy mayo. Oh, I forgot, they added an herb or something in there. I didn't realize dill now cost $21. We let our server order for us, and he got us almost everything on the not-very-big menu, so I can say with confidence that we tried the best that Rosella had to offer. If you want sushi--whether traditional or fusion--this is NOT the place to go, as not only are the rolls overpriced, but also there are only three options in their "Little Roll" (re: teeny-tiny 6 pieces) category, and three options in their "Big Roll" (re: average-sized 6 pieces--this ain't futomaki), and none of them are that special. You're better off trying the cold and hot dishes. I quite enjoyed the creative Ceviche, which came with scallops and kiwi, while the Crudo with monkfish liver was great. Just be prepared to fork over $23+ each for portion sizes that would be classified as snacks at other restaurants. Also, why the hell is Laksa on a Japanese fusion menu? Rosella shines best in its desserts. The Miso Carrot Cake was moist, fragrant and beautiful to behold, while the creamy Coconut Sorbet came mixed with ginger and lemongrass with a lovely basil drizzle. Get these, whatever else you do. Bottom line: Rosella will undoubtedly appeal to hype-following foodies who blindly spend on omakases while having no actual idea what omakase means. For true sushi, Japanese and general food aficionados, the main impression it will leave is a dent in your wallet.

    This place was a lot of fun. The food was really good. The ceviche, crudo pesto, and xo grits were fantastic. Really fun to share but the portion sizes were a bit small. The rolls were very good, specifically the amberjack and ramps(which we ate so fast that we forgot to take a photo of). The soy sauce is fantastic here as well. The service here was very good. The waiters were very nice and gave good suggestions about ordering. The place itself has a nice cozy vibe and the outside area was also very pleasant. A bit cold outside but the heating lamp right above the table did a great job of keeping us warm.

    Pickled mussels sushi

    The food was delicious. Extremely savory. Very different than the normal sushi that I've had. You can tell everything is made with care in house. We were very full from the depth of flavor in each dish. The pickled mussels sushi was scrumptious. The service was full of attention and care for our satisfaction. I'll be here again.

    This was one amazing culinary experience. Reservations were full but we walked in at 5pm on a Wednesday and got seated at the window with a nice view of Tompkins Square Park. Our friendly and knowledgable server Michael curated an exquisite offering of deliciousness for my wife and me who are not very adventurous when it comes to food. The ceviche was out of this world. We chatted with Chef Jeff and Sous-chef Maija who were working in the middle of the room but took the time to come by and check on us. It was an outstanding evening and the highlight of our trip to NYC!

    This place really is excellent. The service is great, and the environment inside is super nice bar seating throughout the restaurant I tried the chefs experience, he brought me a bunch of stuff and everything was VERY good. I am not exaggerating when I say I tried nearly everything on the menu today & NOTHING was bad. The food was EXCELLENT. The best dish by far was the grits - so much flavor The fish slider was also super super good The spicy avocado hand roll is ELITE as well. I say go in with an open stomach and open mind and you'll be amazed. Strongly recommend.

    Pretty spectacular sushi with a bit of a twist. Rosella comes from alumnus of Uchiko, a famed sushi restaurant from Austin (and one of my favorite restaurants ever), so I had to check it out. Our server was great with helping us navigate the menu since it's a little different from most sushi restaurants. Highlight of the day was probably the pickled mussel nigiri but everything we had was delicious. Overall, highly recommended for those who love sushi but want to tread off the beaten path.

    Our favorite restaurant (still!) in NYC- the food is another level and the service is another level. If you have not been, you NEED to try it. So imaginative and delicious. We keep coming for more!

We tried the spicy shrimp (coconut based broth), spicy tonkatsu, and salmon miso ramen. The tonkatsu and salmon were both cooked well - tender and moist. Ramen noodles were thin and well cooked - more al dente. We also tried the karaage which had a thick crispy batter and a sweet glaze, with an optional spicy side sauce for dipping. They had a variety of sake and beer options. The inside is small but turnaround is fairly quick. Lots of two seaters and a large table that we were able to snag after just a few minutes of waiting. There was also bar seating. Pretty dark inside to add to the ambiance for a quick date or catch up with friends. Checked in to the waitlist via Resy because we didn't have a reservation, and it was a short wait. Service was prompt.

Got off the E train and when we looked for Chinese food, this place popped up with good reviews and it was just a short walk from where we got off the train. My buddies ordered the special lunches and we also got two types of xlb's, beef chow fun, and some fried dumplings. The special lunches come with a little fried rice, cold garlic flavored noodle, choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup, and main side. My buddies all enjoyed their meals. The beef chow fun was also really good and beef was nice and tender. The xiao long baos were excellent and is comparable to any place in California like DTF. Nice and juicy and great with some ginger, soy sauce, and spicy chili. Friendly service and food comes out pretty quickly. Credit card is accepted. Bathroom was also very clean, which is sometimes rare in some Chinese restaurants I have been to. If you're looking for a good Chinese meal, stop here when you're in the Chelsea area.

I hadn't been to EDH in a while and was happy to see they do have later hours (with a smaller late night menu). The place was pretty busy at 10:00 PM last Saturday, with a wide range of diners, which is good for business. The food though, at least that night, was really disappointing. My friend had the chicken dumplings. He said they were okay. I thought they were overcooked. My steamed shrimp shumai were fine, but steamed, they didn't have much flavour. The edamame, on the other hand, had way too much when it should have almost none. I don't know if it was excess salt, MSG or something else, but not good. I should have sent them back. I hope this was just an off night for the kitchen.
