    Came here with friends at their recommendation. I ordered their fried chuleta with pork fried rice and a passion fruit frozen drink. The chuleta was juicy and well seasoned. Unfortunately I found the frozen drink to be too sweet so couldn't enjoy the tartness of the passion fruit flavor. Ambiance is very casual. Server was a much older Asian gentleman that spoke some broken Spanish. He was not as attentive or friendly as we expected however the food came out on time and was delicious. Btw, when I say 'not as attentive ' - here's why - we asked for 3 cups of water and then realized that one of the ladies in out party wanted one too, so when I asked for 'one more' and pointed to the cup of water he became a bit snappy and repeated the words 'one more' with a tone and attitude. We ordered two sets of appetizers and additional beverages. I figured he was tired and didn't really want us to keep asking for anything else. We were there around 3:30pm. I guess this place is great for take out not too good for dine in however I'll check them out again and see how my next visit goes.

    Grilled salmon with Tostones

    The food was great we always ordered pork chops with pork fried rice and the grilled salmon with vegetable fried rice. The Tostones are amazing. The only down side is the customer service is horrible that's why I can't give them five stars they can be very rude

    Biste Palomilla with yellow rice and black beans. Biste Palomilla with white rice and red beans. Tostones

    So damn good! I use to go to a Cuban/Chinese restaurant called Caridad 78 Broadway that had the best Biste Palomilla but sadly they closed down and I have been on a hunt since WELL I finally found a match! Their Cuban food is so good I dream about it. The rice, the beans, the steak and even the tostones are delicious oh and don't get me started on the garlic bread they put on the table. Man oh man I am in heaven just thinking about it! Btw this is a cash only establishment and parking can be difficult but for their food I don't mind at all.

    Mannnnn on mannnnn what can I say about this Resturant aside of being FVCKING EPIC! So as I ran a 5k runner earlier in the morning I was very hungry and I must say this places delivers!!!! First off, they have a garlic bottle squeezer and that already put me into my fatboy zone! Plus also has a duck sauce bottle squeezer. I'm telling you I was in heaven! I've ordered a chicharon de pollo sin jueso and a order of avocado and a order of toastones. So you know I literally destroyed all of this overall tho the experience was great, food was cooked well, served fast and tasted great. I didn't get a chance to check the rest room but the overall dinning area was cleaning and this was during a early lunch time so please wasn't to busy but do hear it gets slammed as it's a great place to eat with the family. So I gave this place a 5 star. Check out the pictures and I hope you enjoy it as well.

    Kinda surprised that people don't like Sabor Latino but love Sabrosura when it's practically the same thing. Same menu, same weird forks wrapped up in plastic, same yellow decor, same Chinese staff that speaks fluent Spanish, same sangria and pina coladas... the list goes on and on really. The only differences are that this location is on Starling Avenue, the menu is pasted on the windows outside, and the wait staff is a large percentage much friendlier than at their sister restaurant further south. I guess, though, I shouldn't call them "sister" restaurants in the event that the old Sabrosura staff pulled a mutiny on the Bounty. I came here with the partner in crime initially headed to Taqueria Tlaxcali but got distracted by the brightly colored dishes on the outside window, and cheap prices. We went in and were greeted, and offered a seat by the door. It was slightly chilly, but the wall of the counter offered a little privacy. Like Sabrosura, the menu is extensive and covers everything. We were given garlic bread that we were not offered at Sabrosura for some weird reason that was tasty, and ordered fried wontons to share. I must give props to a restaurant that gives you a squeeze bottle of duck sauce. I ordered mofongo this time, as the savory, starchy treat is a rare one for me, with shrimp skewers. All I can say is that this dish was a hit with deliciously meaty and fatty gravy with garlicky shrimp decorated with cilantro. I have a weakness for cilantro. The meal was overall filling and tasty, and cheap. We were even given a complimentary wall scroll calendar! I see here that there is a strong community. There are regulars and the place is noisy with activity. Quiet restaurants scare me, who wants an awkward situation that's not conducive to conversation? Brotip: (Again) Like Sabrosura, no credit, cash only!

    One of the unexpected surprises I found in the Parkchester area is Sabor Latino Seafood Restaurant. The food is very good and the portions are large. Whenever my Wife and I go there we have a hard time deciding what to have next from their menu. While the menu is mainly done with a Spanish flair they do offer some Asian style food such as the Mussels in Hong Kong style Butter-Garlic sauce (my personal favorite!). You'll also Fried Rice, Lo Mein, Stuff Clams, stuffed Shrimp with crab meat & Mofongo! There is something for everyone here! If you do come to Sabor for a meal bring CASH as they do not take credit / debit cards (???) but the food is definitely worth the trip! If you want a family meal I suggest their 'Best Family Meal Deal 4'. You get a family size order of Fried Rice (like two quarts worth!), a whole chicken either fried or grilled (the grilled chicken can be either mojito or teryiyaki style) or instead of chicken you can get the bourbon style boneless ribs- all for under$21! If your in the Bronx or around the Parkchester area Sabor Latino Seafood Restaurant is a MUST!!!

    Delivery Order of broiled fish and shrimp w. fries, broiled fish w. plantains, chicken and broccoli w. rice and baked clams at 4:41pm... Food arrived at 5:10pm ( reasonably fast ) still hot where it's currently 43° outside.. Onto the food..Everthing came and appeared very presentable for a delivery order..The food seemed seasoned lightly, but was very good...Everything was cooked perfectly..Very satisfied with the entire order.. Ordered from here numerous times, where the food was always perfect..Would also recommend the Mojito grilled chicken...Good stuff...

I go all out when I come here becuase it's fast seafood at it's best, steamed, raw or fried. You order at the counter for things you want, so plan your order with friends so you can get what you want all at once. Send one to get the fried's, one to get the steamed, raw, etc. It looks like any seasonal shack on the eastern seaboard, but just a tad busier and a tad nicer. Service is good becuase it's far enough away from the NYC grind that people aint tryna bring that vibe. They're trying to have a different experience. It's got great views. Cash only of course. Seating is cafeteria style. I usually have to go for a walk afterwards to help digest everything. Prices are high if you indulge or come with your whole family, but it's kinda in line if your tryna splurge and go big. My usual order is steamed snow crab legs, fried calamari, fried clam strips, steamed cherry's and little necks (or raw if it's daytime or late summer) and a steamed whole snapper if I'm with more than 1 person. It's a feast, but worth a gout attack. It's fresh seafood that's well prepared and simple. You can't go wrong on the cocktail sauces, butter, lemon on most items.

Friends took me here for my birthday and we had reservations at another place, but they "lost" them? All of us have been here before so we decided why not, and see what happens. The place was incredibly busy, we had about a 20 minute wait but it was worth it! Our server Robert was top notch. Professional and cordial. He Immediately came over with glasses of water, garlic bread, cheese and olive tapas, a house salad, and napkins. Tried the broiled fisherman's combo: shrimp, scallops, fish fillet, mussels, stuffed clams, lobster tail, and a side, I opted for linguini with garlic aioli. Everything was cooked very well and the presentation amazing and beautiful. Now here's something you don't see every day; an actual stuffed clam where the clam is still partially attached to the shell! None of that surimi crap! Finished the meal with a double espresso, shared a tartufo and cheese cake. I don't know if the digestif was complementary, but it was a nice touch. I don't know how the kitchen keeps up with the orders. The waitstaff must put a few miles on their feet a day and a cardio workout carrying the trays overflowing with food. Amazing! Everything in the restaurant is kept neat, clean, and organized. The music is not overwhelming. You can hear each other at the table. When the weather is a little nicer, they have beautiful outdoor seating with views of Long Island sound. It is very romantic, when the sun is setting, you can imagine yourself being somewhere exotic and far away. As the song goes; "Sometimes you don't know what you got till it's gone."

    BLUF: Good for seafood lovers; meat-heavy eaters might choose another place…read more Kaijin Seafood Buffet is an all-you-can-eat (ACYE) Chinese buffet restaurant; one of few ACYE restaurants that offer snow crab legs and lobster tails. Lobster tails are not ACYE, but are brought out every half-hour -- customers might have to queue to receive one. Customers can receive a maximum of four lobster tails during a two-hour visit, depending on visit timing. The lobster tails were heavy seasoned in Old Bay seasoning and very salty. One lobster tail should be enough for most (because of the salt), but I had two. We counted three calls for lobster during our visit. The rest of the food was above average for AYCE restaurants. All versions of the chicken wings were moist. All versions of shrimp were deveined. I preferred the "cold" (unseasoned) snow crab legs, which were of a good quality, naturally sweet, not greasy, and not salty. The steamed flounder dish was nearly perfectly cooked. I'm told that the string beans were very good, too. Desserts were well represented. The fruit was fresh. Even though the egg tarts lacked custard, the shells were crisp and flaky. We liked the tiramisu, as it was made with ladyfinger cookies and had a good amount of coffee flavor. All drinks are included in the price; we had hot tea, soda, and a boba tea drink. Other: The restaurant is brightly lit, and the seats are comfortably cushioned. There is booth-style, half-circle booth, and community-table style seating. There are adequately maintained men's and women's restrooms. There is free, VPN-friendly, Wi-Fi. Service is pretty good; they regularly cleared finished plates from our table. As of this writing, Kaijin Seafood Buffet seems to be a participant in Rakuten Dining. Suggested tips are based on post-tax subtotals, and start at 15%.

    Dakota's on the Cove has been in my periphery for a while. Up until today, I had not been here…read moresince the space was its former occupant, Ice House. While I had heard mixed things about Dakota's, I wanted to check it out for myself. I had been meaning to catch up with some of my IRL Yelp friends, and thought this would be a great place to meet up - so off we went. Dakota's is located right on the water in Throgg's Neck and provides great views of the marina. The dining area is separated into a front room, bar area, back room, outdoor patio, and a biergarten area. The decor and aesthetics have a nautical vibe - think blues, greys, and whites with lots of clean lines. One of my friends told me that the menu is relatively new, as they got a new chef ~ 2 weeks ago. The menu isn't large, in fact it's somewhat limited in my view; there are a few apps, mains, and sides - but I would like to have seen an expanded salad selection (there are only two on the menu) and a sandwich section, especially given the aesthetics and the fact that they're open for lunch. We decided to start by sharing some apps and one of their salads: the tuna tartare, the mussels, and the specific salad name escapes me but it had feta whip. Everything was very good - the tuna was fresh and came with some thin crostini that provided a welcome contrast in texture. The salad was flavorful, but the portion was small for the price and the combination of feta whip with the dressing made it a little too wet. The mussels were great - we chose to have them prepared in a white wine sauce which was super flavorful. It came with two pieces of focaccia which were good albeit slightly stale; crostini would have been better. For mains, we split two: the fish and chips and the linguine with clam sauce. The former was pretty good - two generous pieces of fish, but it could have used more fries; the apple slaw it was served with cut through the heaviness of the dish well. The linguini was also good, however it's hard for me to justify a pasta dish being over $30 - especially in this case where there were relatively few clams and the portion was not big. We also ordered a side of broccoli rabe which was good - though the addition of some garlic bulbs/slices would have elevated it. For desert we split the lemon gelée abd biscoff cheesecake. I wasn't a fan of the former, it had a tough-ish consistency and lacked flavor; the cheesecake was better. Service was excellent; we made conversation with several members of staff while we were there - including the owner. They are really putting an effort in to make this place great and I saw it in all aspects of my experience. Overall, I had a great time at Dakota's; I think they still need to fine-tune their menu, especially in relation to portion sizes and prices. However, if this is an improvement from where they were, then they're taking a step in the right direction.

It was a little too salty for my taste and the crab legs were extremely overcooked and and salty. While it was salty I do not believe this to be a normal occurrence or at least I hope not. In addition the crab legs in the special are smaller than the crab legs from a normal crab leg order. This time around the side that takes the award was hands down the fried rice. I would go back just to order this. The waitstaff is hit and miss. My first time we had a super attentive waitress this time my waitress was very busy as she was the only one and also she was working the bar too.

Upon arrival the only available table for a party of 2 was directly in front of the DJ speakers so we sat at the bar. The bartender comes over and I tell her we're here for their Tuesday Happy Hour specials. As per their IG post tacos (ALL) are $2. So we ordered chicken, shrimp & steak. The bartender tells me the steak isn't included and is an additional charge. So I pull up the IG post which states differently. She's unaware of the post or special and has to run it by a manager. We ordered 6 tacos but 7 came out. I pointed out the extra taco she apologized and said we wouldn't be charged for it. Next I order the froze. The froze and the margarita were both juice like. Entirely too sweet for the froze and too much sour mix on the margarita. The tacos were mid, steak was tough & chicken wasn't seasoned. The check comes and we were charged the $2 for the steak taco, the 7th taco that I didn't order (the bartender was suppose to comp) was on the bill and froze that was suppose to be $2 as per the IG post was $13. I bring the price difference of the Froze to the bartenders attention and she states that the $2 froze is in a smaller cup than what she gave me. How would I know that? I showed her the IG post with specials upon placing my first order. Clearly if it's a Tuesday special and I'm ordering on a Tuesday that's why I'm ordering it. She said she would have to speak to a manager came back and said the manager wouldn't honor the $2 advertised price. I paid my bill and left. To make a social media post to gain patrons.... Patrons come specifically for said specials and then not honor them?! Such a waste of time and money. The service, food and drinks are subpar at best.
